Amazon's product range is almost unlimited. Precise work steps are necessary in order to pack and ship each item as quickly as possible. How does the logistics of the large online retailer work? In the Amazon logistics center in Pforzheim, employees give an insight into their work. 00:00 Behind the scenes at Amazon 1,300 people work across an area the size of 15 football fields to ensure that Amazon logistics runs smoothly. 00:14 Falah with the trucks Falah actually wanted to study psychology in Iraq. However, due to the political situation, he fled to Germany and eventually found a job in the logistics center. His sisters also work here. At the loading ramp, Falah receives the goods that are delivered in trucks. 05:11 Fatma at driving school From the loading ramp to the packing station, training officer Fatma keeps an eye on all processes. Today she is giving forklift driver Marijana a refresher course. Fatma originally started out as a shipping employee and worked her way up. Her life's dream: To travel into space like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. 09:57 Marijana between the shelves Marijana takes the forklift high: The shelves are full of products up to 10 meters high. Her job is to select the correct items and pass them on to the packing team. She comes across all kinds of products - some of them give her inspiration, others she would rather not talk about on camera. 14:56 Rachid at the packing station Rachid has been working at Amazon for 11 years. Today he is a team leader and supervises the work at the packing station. No time can be lost: The product scanners are built into the employees' gloves. Rachid comes from Morocco and taught himself German. He also speaks sign language; a few members of his team are deaf. 19:50 Denise at the ramp Denise ensures the safety of the employees in the logistics center. She keeps an eye on the warehouse's traffic regulations or carries out safety inspections on the loading ramp. Since she previously studied sports psychology, Denise also makes sure that her workplace is particularly ergonomic. Her most important goal: to avoid accidents at work. #amazon #logistics #onlineshopping Subscribe to the Landesschau channel: http://x.swr.de/s/landesschauabo Welcome to the official YouTube channel of the SWR Landesschau!
