</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>After working on the business process team at <a href="Webvan" title="Webvan">Webvan</a>, <a href="Mick_Mountz" title="Mick Mountz">Mick Mountz</a> concluded that the company's downfall was due to the inflexibility of existing material handling systems and the high cost of order fulfillment.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These challenges inspired Mountz to develop a method for picking, packing, and shipping orders using a system that could deliver any item to any operator at any time.

</p><p>To achieve his vision, Mountz enlisted the help of Peter Wurman and <a href="Raffaello_D'Andrea" title="Raffaello D'Andrea">Raffaello D'Andrea</a>. In 2003, Mountz became the founder and CEO of Kiva Systems, through his partnership with co-founders Wurman and D'Andrea.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2></div>

<p>Traditionally, goods are moved around a distribution center using a <a href="Conveyor_system" title="Conveyor system">conveyor system</a> or by human-operated machines (such as <a href="Forklifts" class="mw-redirect" title="Forklifts">forklifts</a>). In Kiva's approach, items are stored in portable storage units. When an order is entered into the Kiva <a href="Database" title="Database">database</a> system, the software locates the closest <a href="Automated_guided_vehicle" title="Automated guided vehicle">automated guided vehicle</a> to the item and directs it to retrieve it. The mobile <a href="Robots" class="mw-redirect" title="Robots">robots</a> navigate around the warehouse by following a series of computerized bar-code stickers on the floor. Each drive unit has a sensor that prevents it from colliding with others. When the drive unit reaches the target location, it slides underneath the pod and lifts it off the ground through a corkscrew action. The robot then carries the pod to the specified human operator to pick up the items.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Kiva sold systems based on two different robot models. The smaller model was approximately 2 by 2.5 feet (0.61 by 0.76 m), 18 inches (460 mm) high, and capable of lifting 1,000 pounds (450 kg). The larger model was capable of carrying a <a href="Pallet" title="Pallet">pallet</a> with loads as heavy as 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg).<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Both were a distinctive orange color. The maximum velocity of the robots was 1.3 metres per second (4.3 ft/s).<sup id="cite_ref-IEEESpectrum_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IEEESpectrum-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The mobile bots were battery-powered and needed to be recharged every hour for five minutes.

</p><p>The system is considered much more efficient and accurate than the traditional method of having human workers traveling around the warehouse locating and picking items. The robot also allows for the enhancement of Amazon cargo movement and aids in the ensurement of safety to both workers, staff, and the packages themselves.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Acquisition_by_Amazon">Acquisition by Amazon</h2></div>

<p>In March 2012, <a href="Amazon.com" class="mw-redirect" title="Amazon.com">Amazon.com</a> acquired Kiva Systems for US$775 million. At the time, this was Amazon's second-largest acquisition in its history.<sup id="cite_ref-bostonglobe.com_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bostonglobe.com-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Since the acquisition by <a href="Amazon_(company)" title="Amazon (company)">Amazon</a>, Kiva has remained quiet. The company has not announced any new Kiva customers and has stopped its marketing activities.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Most of Kiva's sales staff have departed, though the company continues to hire in the engineering and manufacturing departments. Industry observers speculate that Amazon is focusing on internal operations and is not interested in sharing the technology with competitors.<sup id="cite_ref-bostonglobe.com_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bostonglobe.com-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
