Amazon’s robotic distribution center in Kojetín
The new Amazon distribution center in Kojetín was conceived as a multi-story industrial building from the beginning. While the total area of the hall exceeds 187,000 m², the floor plan occupies only 51,000 m². Robotic units that transport mobile racks with goods on three floors help employees with their daily tasks. The entire building is then interwoven, and individual technologies are connected using conveyors, lifts, and sorters of various types.
The center primarily prepares, packages, and ships small items such as books, electronics, and consumer goods to customers. The building is one of the most environmentally friendly industrial buildings in the country. There is a photovoltaic power plant with a peak power of four megawatt hours on the roof, the building is not connected to gas pipelines and heat pumps are installed, and most of the material from the former brownfield was recycled and used for the new construction. Panattoni, which is one of the largest developers in the Czech Republic and in the world, was in charge of the development.
The excursion will be led by Michal Šmíd, the general manager of Amazon Czech Republic.
