CAN THE MOBILE ROBOT BE A FUTURE ORDER-PICKING SOLUTION?: A CASE STUDY AT AMAZON FULFILLMENT CENTER
Abstract
In logistic operations, picking is the process of finding products to meet different orders. Therefore, improving automation and work performance is a focus on logistic operation. The purpose of this study is to describe a system that can improve efficiency at the Distribution Center by using Kiva Robots. That is a system that can help humans reduce walk time and labor costs which must occur, and identify the concepts of applying multi-robots at the Amazon Fulfillment Center. Kiva Robots are here to answer the problem of order picking at the Amazon Fulfillment Center.
