Since 2012, Amazon has been continuously promoting robotization. Now, it has deployed robot systems in more than 300 facilities worldwide, becoming the world's largest mobile robot manufacturer and operator3. The newly - added 1 millionth robot has been stationed in an operation center in Japan, joining the global robot network4. It mainly undertakes heavy - duty handling and repetitive tasks, working in cooperation with employees, which greatly improves work efficiency1.
The newly launched DeepFleet is positioned as an "intelligent traffic management system". It is developed based on the massive inventory movement dataset within Amazon's sites and built relying on AWS tools such as Amazon SageMaker. This model can reduce the travel time by 10% through optimizing the movement coordination of the robot fleet, effectively relieve congestion, improve the path - planning efficiency, and speed up the processing of customer orders. Thanks to the continuously - learning AI technology, it can continuously optimize the collaborative working mode of robots, help store more products closer to customers, and further shorten the delivery time and reduce the operating cost.
This innovation has had multiple - aspect impacts on business. In terms of logistics efficiency, it has greatly improved the delivery speed, enabling consumers to receive products faster and enhancing customer satisfaction. In terms of cost control, it has reduced operating costs and enhanced Amazon's competitiveness in the e - commerce market. In terms of industry - leading, it has set an example for other enterprises, promoting the whole logistics industry to accelerate the transformation towards intelligence and automation. At the same time, the technology upgrade has also brought new job requirements. For example, due to the deployment of advanced robot technology, the demand for reliability maintenance and engineering - related positions in the new - generation operation center in Louisiana has increased by 30%.
Through the release of the DeepFleet AI model, Amazon has once again demonstrated its powerful innovation strength in the logistics field, and is expected to reshape the industry pattern, bringing more efficient and convenient service experiences to global consumers and business partners.
