Amazon Fulfillment Technologies (AFT) powers Amazon’s global fulfillment network by designing and building the software, hardware and processes that enable our customers to get what they want, when they want it, and with the right quality. We put innovation into action, working alongside our employees in the FCs to move billions of customer orders through our Fulfillment Centers globally. AFT is creating the future of fulfillment, and we’re looking for people with big ideas and the drive to see them at work in the real world. If you’re ready to innovate on a global scale, join us.
When a human looks at a picture of an item or a container, they can easily identify what the item is and understand how to pick it up from the container. Robots and every fulfillment process from procurement through delivery relies on an understanding of item and container’s physical characteristics to make optimal fulfillment decisions. Our vision is to teach our systems to do what comes naturally to humans- identify items and containers, describe them, identify defects, and enable decisions using computer vision at scale.
The Perceptive Insights team provides a set of vision based insights using several PB of data it gathers from FCs. The team primarily generates foundational insights that facilitate downstream business specific decision making of fulfillment operations for various process paths across FTR. Some of these include Count/ICQA using Perceptive Quality, Pickability insights for manual and robotic pick activities, Visual Insights that support Robotic workcells in programs like ToteASRS etc. The team owns and maintains software for one of the flagship devices of AFT Quality, the VBI. The broader AFT-Quality organization also owns multiple vision systems at scale. This team is responsible for software deployment support of these systems globally across NA, EU, and FE.
