Amazon's Asia Focus Sees New Japan Fulfilment Centre, Debut Of Facility Tours In India
Between an increasingly interconnected world and the convenience of online shopping, the demand for digital purchases will only continue to grow, and Asia is no exception. As part of its continued expansion efforts worldwide, Amazon is rolling out new initiatives in the region, starting with a new fulfilment centre in Japan. Mitsubishi Estate's LOGICROSS Nagoya Minato facility is set to be the largest fulfilment centre in western Japan, spanning 125,000 square metres with a storage capacity of about 1.37 million cubic feet. A joint effort between Amazon and Mitsubishi Estate, it aims to be the first building in the country to receive Zero Carbon Certification from Living Future – the first Zero Carbon third-party certified standard worldwide – with several sustainable building technologies. These include the use of a geothermal heat pump that maintains comfortable heating and cooling temperatures while running on 30 percent less energy than conventional systems; vertical solar panels, which can produce a maximum power output of 5.5 megawatts (and making it one of Amazon's largest onsite solar arrays outside of the U.S); and lower-carbon concrete for the foundation and office areas during construction. A rainwater storage system also utilises collected rainwater for restrooms and other facilities, with water usage expected to drop by approximately 40 percent. The space is due to open in August, joining over 25 other fulfilment centres across the country. Announced separately during the Delivering the Future event in Tokyo, an in-person tour for its Chiba Minato Fulfilment Centre is coming later this year, though a specific window was not given. Like existing Amazon Tours programmes in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, France, Germany, and Italy, participation is free, with the experience focusing on the behind-the-scenes processes of handling and packing before delivery. 'We've been in Japan for 25 years, so we have a long history in this country,' shares Nick Boone-Lutz, head of Amazon Tours, in a Q&A with Geek Culture and select Australian media. '[The Chiba Minato Fulfilment Centre] is an incredible place to show off – in terms of the investments and the business it has made in technology – and we have a lot of passionate customers here who are excited; we've been getting requests from customers in Japan who asked for tours for a long time.' Closer to home, the delivery powerhouse will bring the tour to public fulfilment centres in Delhi and Bengaluru starting Q4 of 2025. Lasting 45 minutes to an hour, each session will begin with a video about Amazon's history and evolution in the country, followed by a guided walk through the facility, where various technologies are seen in action. Safety measures like heat monitoring, medical facilities, air-conditioned breakrooms and development opportunities for employees and associates are also covered. 'We've built India's fastest, safest, and most reliable operations network, and now we're excited to give people a chance to see it firsthand,' said Abhinav Singh, Vice-President of Operations India and Australia. 'These tours offer visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the technology and people working together to deliver for customers every day.' To date, the Amazon Tours programme has registered two million visitors from more than 35 locations in select countries. The India launch marks Asia's first and will run three times weekly at both the Delhi and Bengaluru fulfilment centres once open, accommodating up to 20 participants per session. Online registration for interested parties is due later this year. There are currently over 300 fulfilment centres globally, designed to store millions of products, process customer orders, and ship them daily. Bengaluru houses the biggest facility in India, spanning over two million cubic feet of storage space – roughly the capacity of 800 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Amazon Now Has Over One Million AI Robots Powering Global Warehouses
Amid the competitive e-commerce space, Amazon has carved out a reputation for being the king of (fast) deliveries, and robots will continue to be a big part of it. During the Delivering the Future event held in Tokyo, the industry giant announced the deployment of its one millionth robot to a fulfilment centre in Japan. The milestone update was followed up by the introduction of a new generative artificial intelligence (AI) foundation model called DeepFleet, designed to make the robots smarter and more efficient. Similar to an 'intelligent traffic management system for a city filled with cars moving through congested streets,' it coordinates their movements to optimise their navigation around Amazon's fulfilment centres, large warehouses where customer orders are received, stored, packed, and shipped, leading to less congestion and faster processing of orders. The new technology is built using the company's data sets of inventory movement within its sites and leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS) developer tools, including SageMaker, with the AI trained to learn and improve over time. DeepFleet is also expected to reduce robot travel time by 10 percent, allowing for quicker delivery times, lower operational costs, and reduced energy usage. Amazon's robotics journey started in 2012 with a single type of robot that could move inventory shelves across warehouse floors. The fleet has now grown to include the Hercules robots, capable of lifting and moving up to 1,250 pounds (566kg) of inventory; their Pegasus counterparts, which use precision conveyor belts to handle individual packages; and Proteus, the brand's first fully autonomous mobile robot designed to safely navigate around employees in open and unrestricted site areas while moving heavy carts filled with customer orders. As for fulfilment centres, there are currently more than 300 of them across the globe. Of the list, only a handful offer free in-person tours to the public: the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, France, Germany, and Italy, with Mexico, Brazil, Spain, and Belgium joining the programme. India and Japan will be the first in the Asia-Pacific region to host them – the former in Q4 of 2025, and the latter, at an unspecified date in the same year.
