On Sunday, Charlie Rose from CBS News 60 Minutes, interviewed Jeff Bezos about what is next for 亚马孙, the world’是最大的在线零售商,拥有超过2.25亿客户。
在特殊的销售日,数量可以达到每秒300件,该数量满足了全球96个亚马逊仓库/分销中心的活动。亚马孙’我们的目标是将所有商品出售给所有人,他们的仓储和运输方式一直受到人们的关注,因为他们成功地实现了承诺的交付能力。两年前,亚马逊以7.5亿美元的价格收购了Kiva Systems及其机器人从货架到拣货系统。有趣的是,在这60分钟的采访中,没有提到Kiva或这种打包方法。 [为什么?]
“秘诀是我们位于第七代履行中心– and we’每次都变得更好 ” Bezos said during the interview. An example of this type of improvement is that 亚马孙 can now store twice as many goods in its centers as it did 5 years ago.
A portion of the 60 Minutes piece was about 亚马孙 and its web services group AWS. Little known facts emerged from this part of the interview: AWS hosts Netflix and the CIA as well as providing the cloud for itself and other big enterprises and governmental institutions.
贝佐斯的直言不讳贯穿始终。考虑以下示例:
查理·罗斯: A lotta small book publishers and other smaller companies worry that the power of 亚马孙 gives them no chance.
杰夫·贝佐斯(Jeff Bezos): You gotta earn your keep in this world. When you invent something new, if customers come to the party, it’s disruptive to the old way. The Internet is disrupting every media industry. People can complain about that, but complaining is not a strategy. And 亚马孙 is not happening to book selling, the future is happening to book selling.

在《加班》中,当他描述了通过系统运送这么多商品的过程时,还可以看到贝索斯的天才。–包括新的PrimeAir:“It’人的交响曲,软件的交响曲和…机器人交响曲。”
亚马逊在硅谷的实验室没有那么秘密的实验室126。查理·罗斯(Charlie Rose)向贝佐斯(Bezos)压迫了即将到来的任何重大惊喜,贝佐斯(Bezos)向他展示了使用八旋翼机的新概念交付系统。机器人飞机可以拖运重达5磅的包裹(约占亚马逊的86%’的销售适合此类别),并在距履行中心10英里范围内自动交付。名为Amazon PrimeAir的视频,展示了其工作原理,已有950万youTube观众观看。

Media of all types had a field day with the 60 Minutes broadcast and the video of 亚马孙 PrimeAir in action. Amongst the most prominent of the naysayers was CNN Money who didn’看不到Bezos计划的更大的长期前景。
世界是’t ready for 亚马孙 drones. Besides being illegal, the sensor technology to avoid collisions isn’t there yet.
当然最好的单线来自贝佐斯记者的推文’自己的《华盛顿邮报》:“So basically free stuff from 亚马孙 if you’用步枪射击。”
大多数人似乎错过了概念车,飞机和…八旋翼飞行器是需要等待技术来填补空白的想法,它将使该概念成为经济现实和可行的产品。
在知情人士中,AUVSI总裁Michael Toscano评论:
亚马孙’的概念交付系统展示了无人驾驶飞机系统的前景。它强调了这种创新技术将如何改变行业运作方式。无论是提高农业产量,帮助急救人员,推进科学研究还是提高业务效率,UAS都能节省时间,金钱和生命。
尽管亚马逊证明了通过UAS交付在技术上是可行的,但目前美国禁止UAS的商业使用。但是,FAA目前正在努力建立商业使用规则。甚至连亚马逊也承认,监管框架必须先到位,然后才能启动服务,这一过程至少要持续到2015年。
Like many other companies and industries, 亚马孙 is testing UAS now so that it can be ready to recognize the benefits of the technology once UAS are fully integrated into the U.S. airspace in the coming years.
UAS的广泛使用将对美国的公共和商业部门产生巨大的经济影响。我们今年早些时候发布的经济研究发现,UAS行业将产生820亿美元的经济影响,并在整合后的头十年内创造100,000多个工作岗位。
Certainly there will be many technological, insurance and regulatory hurdles before we see a fleet of 亚马孙 PrimeAir, or FedEx Today, or even Papa John Pizza Express. With the endorsement of Jeff Bezos, the tip of the iceberg has been reached and it’从那里下山了。他的乐观观点是,我们’ll see 亚马孙 PrimeAir in four to five years.
