Amazon to expand automation use in inventory management at India fulfilment centres

“There are robotic systems in India (fulfilment centres of Amazon), like, the SLAM labeler, systems that we use for inventory control, for inventory management. That we will continue to invest in,” Brady said on the sidelines of Amazon’s Delivering the Future EMEA 2026 event in London.

SLAM (scan, label, apply, manifest) labeler is an automated system used in large fulfilment centres to streamline outbound operations. It scans parcels, checks package data, prints and applies shipping labels in real time, and transmits shipment information to carriers before the packages move for dispatch.
