*SEE HOW YOUR ONLINE SHOPPING PURCHASE ORDER REALLY WORKS-- [View all]

Meet the Fleets of Robots who handle your order in warehouses like Quiet Logistics.

There's 'BETTY BOT' and others in the army of Kiva Robots that operate autonomously on the floor in 'Human Exclusion' Zone Warehouses, some up to 300,000 sq. ft. in size.

The bot crews find and fulfill up to 30,000 orders a day, and operate 24/7, 365 days a year. With few humans in sight.

Orders are received and processed through TPLs, Third Party Logistics Centers like 'Quiet Logistics'.

From 'Click' to 'Ship' the entire order process takes 15 minutes, far exceeding human ability and efficiency.

The changing economy's Robot Armies working hard to get your stuff "from the warehouse to your house."
