The Inner Workings of Amazon Fulfillment Centers | Christoph Roser | AllAboutLean
“Recently I had the chance to visit two Amazon Fulfillment Centers to take an in-depth look at their inner workings. While many articles about Amazon go over the basics, I will give you a deep dive into the workings of their fulfillment centers. Due to the amount of information, I divided the content across a series of posts. ”

Michel Baudin‘s comments: Thanks to Christoph for posting this valuable information. At the end of Part 4, he announces more to come, about the software running the fulfillment centers. I look forward to it.

Hello Mr. Baudin, Once again you have provided a very insightful article and I was particularly intrigued by the robotic stowing process within part 2 of this article. I found it interesting how human interaction is still needed with this technology, and it provides further efficiency in the warehouse. This video shows how this technology easily moves the shelves throughout and providing numerous benefits. My question is how much can this technology be improved in the future? Can capacity and time efficiency be increased?
