Description
Amazon Fulfillment Technologies (AFT) powers the physical engine at the heart of Amazon. AFT builds and operates software, hardware, and the processes that run the global network of fulfillment centers that move billions of units of inventory, employ tens of thousands of people, and ensure that customers get what they want when promised. We do this by building automated solutions to handle things that technology does well, while relying on people to handle things that humans do well. We use innovative technologies to simplify the process by taking advantage of materials handling automation, mathematical optimization, computer vision, robotics, and machine learning. Our highly scalable distributed systems are designed to handle billions of transactions a year.
