Amazon Fulfillment Center: Industrial Robotics Case Storage
Challenge
Amazon Robotics (Kiva Systems) needed to transport and store Kiva drive units, sensor modules, and replacement parts across 175+ fulfillment centers. Cases must: (1) survive daily handling in industrial environment, (2) be stackable up to 4 high on warehouse racking, (3) provide visual organization for fast part identification, (4) integrate with Amazon's WMS via barcode/RFID, (5) be returnable and reusable for 5+ years to support Amazon's sustainability goals.
Solution
KeXinMaterials provided custom cases with: (1) reinforced PP copolymer shell, (2) interlocking 4-high stack system, (3) color-coded labels for visual organization, (4) integrated RFID + barcode for WMS, (5) 5-year warranty + Amazon-branded packaging. Custom foam for 14 most common Kiva replacement parts.
Result
12,000 cases deployed across 175 fulfillment centers. 99.7% case return rate over 3 years. Reduced part identification time by 65%. Annual replacement cycle reduced 70%. Amazon has standardized KeXinMaterials for all robotics spare parts. Sustainability: 5-year reuse cycle saves 850 tons of single-use packaging annually.
