How a Fully Automated Distribution Center was Relocated over a Weekend

In June, Quidsi and Kiva moved the entire operation in less than 48 hours to a bigger, better facility 20 miles away. They started the move after processing the last customer order on a Thursday night. Then all the automation equipment, work stations and inventory was moved to the new building. And, on Saturday afternoon Quidsi was back to full operations picking, packing and shipping customer orders. By the close of business on Monday, they had shipped over 7,000 orders from the new building using their relocated warehouse automation system.
