Global News published this video item, entitled “How AI is used at Amazon warehouses in behind-the-scenes look” – below is their description.
Amazon offered a behind-the-scenes look at how artificial intelligence is used at its YEG2 fulfilment centre in Acheson, west of Edmonton in Parkland County.
The last few weeks of December are busy ones at Amazon warehouses as the company works to fulfil millions of customer orders. And it’s using AI to help.
“This is the busiest part of the year,” explained Suresh Kumar, general manager of Amazon YEG2. “We call it holiday peak season. During this period, we ship close to 700,000 units every day, which is close to 600 packages every minute.”
“This is one of the most technologically advanced fulfilment centres in North America. It’s an Amazon robotics facility,” Kumar added. “We have over 5,000 robotic drives and we have 25 robotic arms which work alongside our associates to pack and ship packages faster.”
Global’s Sarah Ryan has the details.
