breakthrough new approach
inventory inside of a warehouse.
방법을 말씀드리려고 합니다.
pack and ship setting here.
배송하는 것을 말하는 겁니다.
hundreds of mobile robots,
이동식 로봇이 들어갑니다.
of mobile robots,
And I'll get to the solution.
곧 그 해결책을 말씀드릴게요.
you ordered something online.
구매하신 것을 생각해보십시오.
on your couch
absolutely had to have this red t-shirt.
into your shopping cart.
that green pair of pants
pair of shoes — click!
assembled your order.
for a moment that
"submit order."
shows up on your doorstep.
like, wow, there's my goo.
"와, 물건들이 왔네"라고 합니다.
how those items of inventory
that box in the warehouse?
이렇게 배달되는지 생각해보셨습니까?
it's that guy right there.
저기 사람이 보이시죠.
middle of that picture,
pick-pack worker
order fulfillments setting.
spend 60 or 70 percent of their day
하루의 60-70퍼센트가
the warehouse.
돌아다니는 일입니다.
as much as 5 or 10 miles
those items of inventory.
정도를 걸어다닙니다.
unproductive way to fill orders,
방법일 뿐만 아니라
unfulfilling way to fill orders.
못하는 방법입니다.
first bumped into this problem.
처음 맞닥뜨리게 되었냐면,
in '99, 2000, the dot com boom.
불었을때 샌프란시스코에서
spectacular flame-out called Webvan.
웹밴이라는 데서 일했습니다.
millions of dollars with the notion that
식료품을 배달한다는 생각으로
grocery orders online.
that we couldn't do it cost effectively.
할 수 없다는 사실에 직면했습니다.
that was very hard and very costly.
비용이 많이 든다는 것을 알았지요.
to assemble 30 items of inventory
to deliver to the home.
집으로 배송하려고 했습니다.
it was costing us 30 dollars.
89¢ can of soup
89센트짜리 수프캔이
pick and pack into that tote.
1달러가 드는 것이었습니다.
tried to deliver it to the home.
가격이 그렇습니다.
during my one year at Webvan,
웹밴에서 1년 동안 일하며
all the material-handling providers
사람들을 통해 안 것이
specifically to solve each base picking.
해결방법이 없었다는 것이었습니다.
those three things in a box.
한 상자에 담는 것이죠.
got to be a better way to do this.
저희는 생각했습니다.
was set up to pump
goo to retail stores.
소매점으로 옮기는 방식입니다.
and about a year and a half later,
약 일년 반뒤에도
It was still nagging at me.
여전히 골치아픈 문제입니다.
thinking about it again.
on what I wanted as a pick worker,
무엇이 필요할까를 생각해보았습니다.
how it should work.
할까를 생각해봤습니다.
on the problem.
I want to do is I want to put
in this box right here.
바로 상자에 담는 겁니다.
my hand and — poof! —
and I pack it into the order,
담는 시스템입니다.
approach to solving the problem.
생각하게 됩니다.
is available to solve this problem?
이렇게 하려면 어떤 기술이 필요할까요?
and go, products can come and go.
수시로 왔다갔다 합니다.
pick worker the center of the problem,
문제를 생각해 보고
them as productive as possible.
수단을 제공하는데 집중합니다.
arrive at this notion?
어떻게 생각해냈을까요?
a brainstorming exercise,
that many of you use,
쓰시는 기법일 겁니다.
testing your ideas.
at the limits — infinity, zero.
영까지 시험해봅니다.
challenged ourselves with the idea:
distribution center in China,
very low-cost market?
land is cheap.
저렴한 곳에 말입니다.
an hour for direct labor
square-foot distribution center?"
지을 수 있다면 어떨까요?"
led to ideas that said,
in the warehouse."
많은 사람들이 있어야겠네요."
zero dollars per hour,
warehouse every morning at 8 a.m.,
pick up one item of inventory
서있을 만 명의 직원을
you hold the Mountain Dew,
당신은 사이다를 들고,
otherwise just stand there.
you guys talk amongst yourselves.
당신들은 서로 이야기를 하세요.
pick it, put it in the tote, away it goes."
가방에 넣고 되돌아 가죠.
could walk and talk on their own?
움직이고 말하면 어떨까요?
very powerful way
organize this warehouse.
정리할 수 있을 것 같습니다.
labor isn't free,
versus awesome spectrum.
We'll put them on mobile shelving.
we'll move the inventory around.
then I'm sitting on my couch in 2008.
저는 TV앞에 앉아있었습니다.
Olympics, the opening ceremonies?
올림픽 개막식 보셨나요?
couch when I saw this.
굴러떨어질뻔 했습니다.
the warehouse floor, the stadium floor.
운동장에 있는 겁니다.
actually relates to the idea
incredibly powerful, impressive digital art,
디지털 예술을 만들고 있죠.
I'm told,
coordination and communication.
협동과 소통으로 하는 겁니다.
I'll squat down.
some fabulous art.
power of emergence
start to talk with each other.
놀라운 힘이 생기는 겁니다.
bit of the journey.
그게 약간의 여정이었죠.
the practical reality of this idea?
어떻게 현실이 되었을까요?
that has about 10,000 different SKUs.
포장 배송 시설입니다.
green pens, yellow Post-It Notes.
노랑메모지라고 합니다.
out to pick up the blue shelving pods.
파란 선반을 가져오게 합니다.
to the side of the building.
get to stay on the perimeter.
to pick up the shelves,
deliver them straight to the pick worker.
is completely different.
the warehouse, she gets to stay still
이곳 포장코너에
building can now come to her.
is very productive.
scan the bar code, pack it out.
바코드를 찍은 다음 포장합니다.
you turn around,
ready to be picked and packed.
out all of the non-value added
wasting, waited time,
노동시간을 없애고
high-fidelity way to pick these orders,
주문실행방법을 개발했습니다.
a laser, scan the UPC barcode,
which box it needs to go into.
가리키면 됩니다.
accurate and, it turns out,
environment for these pick workers.
즐거운 작업환경이 되었습니다.
the whole order.
not just a part of the order.
전체영역을 합니다.
in control of their environment.
좀더 잘 관리하고 있다고 느낍니다.
of this approach
to be more productive.
생산적임을 알고 있었습니다.
pervasive this way of thinking
창고의 다른 기능에
functions in the warehouse.
미칠지는 알지 못했습니다.
is doing inside of the DC
효과적으로 한 일은
parallel processing engine.
엔진으로 바꾼 것입니다.
cross-fertilization of ideas.
활성화시킨 겁니다.
and we're thinking about
supercomputer architectures.
생각하고 있습니다.
the right side of the screen
autonomous pick workers.
to leave and go to the bathroom,
화장실을 간다고 해도
productivity of the other nine workers.
생산성에 영향을 주지 않습니다.
traditional method of using a conveyor.
사용하는 전통적인 방식은
passes the order to you,
and pass it downstream.
for that serial process to work.
제자리에 있어야 합니다.
way to think about the warehouse.
확고한 생각이 되었습니다.
interesting in that we're tracking
of the products.
and adaptive algorithms
of the warehouse.
알고리즘을 씁니다.
the week leading up to Valentine's Day.
발렌타인데이 주간입니다.
moved to the front of the building
lot of orders in those pick stations.
and that candy, the leftover candy,
back of the warehouse
zone on the thermal map there.
approach using the parallel processing
scale to ginormous.
two pick stations, 20 pick stations,
path planning algorithms
경로예상 알고리즘과
algorithms just work.
see that the inventory
perimeter of the building
장악하고 있습니다.
the pick stations were.
out for themselves.
just one final video
보여드리고 마치겠습니다.
this comes to bear
day in the life of.
to move inventory along the highway
물품이 통로를 통해 이동하고
into these pick stations.
in each station,
벌어지는 일을 인식합니다.
across the highway
통로를 따라 이동시키고
get into a queuing system
to the pick worker.
adapt the speed of the pick workers.
조절하기도 한다는 겁니다.
and the slower pickers get few.
느린 직원은 적게 받습니다.
literally having that experience
말그대로 하고 있는 겁니다.
The product jumps into it.
she puts it in the bucket.
is kind of behind the scenes.
이면에서 벌어지고 있습니다.
picking and packing portion of her job.
일에만 신경쓰면 됩니다.
never has to leave her mat.
자리를 떠나지도 않습니다.
not only a more productive
더욱 생산적일뿐 아니라
way to fill orders.
더 정확하다고 생각하죠.
fulfilling way to fill orders.
훨씬 낫다고 생각합니다.
that, though, is that workers
buildings now compete
키바구역에서 일하기 위해
in the Kiva zone that day.
them on testimonial videos
day to play with their grandchildren,
힘이 남는다" 든지
Kiva zone is so stress-free
스트레스가 없는 환경이라
my blood pressure medication."
끊었어요"라는 말이요.
so they told us not to use that video.
촬영이 금지되었습니다.
with today is the notion that
마치고자 합니다.
to think and walk
움직이고 스스로 말하게 하면,
processes and productivities can emerge.
생산능력이 생겨납니다.
you go to your front step
you just ordered online,
the goo is in there,
as to whether a robot
and packing of that order.
호기심을 갖게 되실 겁니다.
