SEATTLE-BASED GLOBAL E-COMMERCE titan Amazon recently announced that its Amazon Air Hub operations at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) have formally kicked off. Amazon has been planning and building out operations for this $1.5 billion investment over the last four years, and it said that this hub will serve as the central hub for the Amazon Air U.S. cargo network, "facilitating the rapid transport of customer packages across the country." The company added that this investment will result in creating 2,000 jobs for people from various backgrounds, including positions involving load planning, management of package sortation, and robotics technology. The hub includes an 800,000 square-foot sortation building that resides on a 600-acre campus including an expansive new ramp for aircraft parking and a multi-story vehicle parking structure, according to Amazon. It added that the sortation facility features the robotics technology to move and sort packages, including robotic arms and mobile drive units that transport packages across the building, miles of interlinked conveyors and ergonomic workstations that support a comfortable work environment for employees. |
