The red came and went in days, but the yellow are sticking around. Spent the morning on an Amazon Fulfillment Center Tour. Absolutely amazing seeing all the robots moving the tall pedestals of boxes all over like a VERY busy highway.
I just read a book involving a "who dunnit" based around one of these centres. It's such a funny name - sounds like a holiday destination where you can fulfill your every dream!
@robz Whatâs the name of the book? It was completely different than I imagined. Nothing is in groups like a regular store. All the items are put together at random. The computer tracks 4 million different kinds of items in real time. By putting them randomly in the containers the humans donât have to look for a specific size t-shirt among many....there is only one t-shirt in the bin so it has to be the one.
I'm so sorry Shutterbug - I read so many "who dunnits" that they all merge together - I can't remember the author or name - but the concept of the "fulfillment centre' stuck in my mind. It must have been so interesting to see! Cheers Rob
