On what has traditionally become the busiest day of the year for online retailing, the world's largest online retailer is going into overdrive with more than 3,000 employees at a fulfillment center in south suburban Matteson.
"Today, we’re probably going to move through here close to 500,000 units, which will be a building record for us," Heyward said.There is 4.2 million square feet of floor space spread over five stories. That’s enough space to comfortably fit 32 football fields.
We watched as robotic pods moved storage units carrying a diverse array of products into a picking station. "And then [the computer] tells her which bin to put it in," Heyward explains. "As soon as she puts it in that bin, she touches the button confirming its one item. Then that pod face moves away, and the next pod presents itself."Those bins are then sent down to another level on a conveyor belt where they’re packaged into boxes or bags.
