A fleet of robots will help operate a facility the size of about 29 soccer pitches.

Amazon.com Inc.’s Australian branch is set to move into the country’s biggest warehouse, where a fleet of robots will help operate a facility the size of about 29 soccer pitches.

The facility, at Craigieburn Logistics Estate to Melbourne’s north, will create 2,000 jobs alongside the robots, Amazon Australia said in a press statement.“Robots will work collaboratively with employees by moving ‘pods’ of inventory to them, reducing the time and effort that would otherwise be required for the employee to stow items for sale or pick them for new customer orders,” Amazon said in the statement.
