Amazon has announced a new robotics fulfilment centre and five new delivery stations as part of an expanded investment in Florida that is expected to create more than 2,000 full-time jobs in the US state.
The new 630,000ft2 fulfilment centre, which is anticipated to launch in Tallahassee, in late 2022, will reportedly create more than 1,000 new, full-time jobs with benefits and opportunities to engage with advanced robotics.
Employees at the fulfilment centre will pick, pack and ship small items, such as books, electronics and toys, to customers.
The five new delivery stations will power the last mile of Amazon’s order process and help increase efficiency of deliveries for customers.
