The IEEE Twin Cities Life Members Affinity Group is sponsoring a tour of the mostly automated Amazon Fulfillment Center in Shakopee, MN on May 13 at 10:30 AM. The Tour is at no charge. Amazon will provide a broad, high-level overview of fulfillment center operations for general audiences. The one-hour walking tour will take the group through the operations process of what happens after a customer clicks "Buy" on Amazon.com. Amazon operates a vast network of fulfillment centers worldwide. These centers are designed to efficiently process millions of orders daily, using advanced technology and automation to ensure fast and accurate delivery. Fulfillment centers are distinct from standard warehouses because they actively manage inventory, pick and pack items, and prepare them for shipment rather than just storing goods. Amazon fulfillment centers integrate robotics and automation to enhance efficiency. 5,000 robots assist with moving bins, sorting packages, and reducing manual lifting, while associates handle picking, packing, and quality control. Amazon’s MSP1 Fulfillment Center is located at 2601 4th Ave East, Shakopee, MN 55379. Use the main building entrance located closest to the Amazon Fulfillment logo and to the right of the flags. REGISTRATION Ø Life Members wishing to attend must register by April 15, 2026 to allow time to broaden our invitation to fill out the tour if needed. Tours are limited to 25 visitors. Ø Each Life Member may bring their spouse or another adult who must also register. Ø Tap the “Register” as the first step in registering. Within a couple of days you should receive a link for Amazon Registration. Without this registration, you will not be allowed to join the tour. Ø Please register only if you will definitely attend. ARRIVAL Ø Plan to arrive by 10:15 AM to allow extra time for finding parking as there are no designated guest parking spots. Guests should enter the building through the main entrance and wait in the lobby until the tour leader arrives to greet and check you in prior to your tour. If guests do not arrive on time, the tour will start without them. Once the tour has begun, guests will not be able to join the tour.
