Kiva Systems (part of Amazon)

Kiva Systems, acquired by Amazon and now known as Amazon Robotics, designs and manufactures warehouse automation technology. Their system uses mobile robots that move shelves of products directly to human workers or packing stations, reducing the need for workers to walk through large warehouses. This automation increases efficiency, speeds up order fulfillment, and lowers operational costs. The robots navigate using sensors and a grid system, working seamlessly with human staff. Overall, Kiva’s technology streamlines warehouse logistics, enabling faster and more accurate delivery of products to customers.
