With Black Friday and Cyber Monday approaching, Amazon says it’s preparing for one of its busiest shopping periods of the year.
Workers at the same-day delivery site in Greenwood, Indiana, are prepping to process about a million orders as the holiday season approaches.
“This is like our Super Bowl,” said Andre Woodson, an Amazon spokesperson. “We prepare year-long to deliver for customers.”
How it works
Products enter the facility and are stored in bins moved by robotic systems designed to reduce repetitive motion for workers.
“The robotic technology eliminates a lot of redundancy and repetitive movements,” said Woodson. “It makes processes more safe and efficient.”
Robots bring items directly to employees for picking, further reducing unnecessary walking on the warehouse floor.
