BusMan – Amazon Robots
Amazon a big business that allows people to sell their products on their website to people all over the world. They buy the products from the individual seller and then sell it for more to the individual customer.
Amazon grew very fast and now it has over 1.2 square foot warehouse which is a lot of space that has to be covered by the workers especially at Christmas time. This is why 2012 amazon bought wheeled robots from Kiva Systems for 775 Million[1]. Since amazon bought these robots they have outfitted several U.S warehouse because those robots work by them self’s for 24 hours and they know exactly where those products are. Not like other companies that have workers who have to search for specific products along huge aisles.
These robots made a change for the company and the customers because they are able to get their products faster- Amazon has a technological advantage and this is why they have become such a fast growing and successful company. These robots are a new invention that helps the general public and they also show other companies how to change so they can become more successful. The machines are globalisating companies all over the world by showing different ways of doing something. Because of these machines workers do not have to work as hard and therefore they complete their work more carefully and with better quality. There is a lot of stress in these types of companies and this especially at Christmas time because a lot of people oder things. By buying these robots amazon is supporting technological companies that help developing the world which lead to a change to the world.
Amazon became one of the leading companies because it used lots of strategies to deliver the product faster to the individual customer by using the wheeled roboters.
It is also ethically nice of amazon to buy the roboters because their workers will have to work less which is always ethically right.
