Auto wifi switching to stronger Wi-Fi network not happening

In my office I have 2 routers with different networks, Initially I will connect to Router A, and after some time I move toward router B area. Device doesn't connect to Router B even if I am closer to Router B. Its still showing Router A connection and signal strength with router A is not good. I have to connect it manually to router B. Any solutions?

Unfortunately WiFi was never designed to operate like that, i.e. where you can randomly roam around between various WiFi routers and be always connected.

Any solutions?

Yes there is, it's called mesh WiFi networks. To implement it, your office would need to upgrade their routers to devices that support mesh WiFi. We have mesh WiFi were I work and live, and I can walk anywhere on the campus and be always connected to the school network.
