Dematic working with Amazon on robotic online fulfilment project

Amazon is gearing up to open the first store of its new grocery chain in Woodland Hills, California. 

HNGRY's Matt Newberg has discovered the location's floorplans attached to alcohol permits with the City of Los Angeles 

These show an automated micro fulfilment centre that surrounds a hidden perimeter of the store, with hours of operation from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. According to Newberg, Amazon is working with Dematic on the 7,200 square foot robotic picking area, which occupies 21% of the 33,574 square foot store.

Both Amazon and Dematic declined to comment on “rumours and speculation”.
