IoPP Golden Gate Chapter: Amazon Fulfilment Center Tour

Our Golden Gate Chapter is hosting a behind-the-scenes tour of the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Tracy, California. This free event offers a rare look inside a robotics-enabled facility where people and technology work side by side to move millions of products efficiently. During the tour, you’ll see how items travel from an online shopping cart to a shipped package, with robots transporting inventory, conveyor systems running in every direction, and automation supporting fast, accurate fulfillment. The Tracy site is a robotics sortable facility, handling items smaller than a standard microwave with impressive speed and precision. Space is limited to 12 attendees, and registration is required . If you’re curious about large-scale automation and fulfillment operations, this tour offers valuable perspective you won’t want to pass up.
