what is inbound stow at amazon

Inbound stow is a process of receiving incoming stock and placing it into storage locations such as pods or racks in Amazon fulfillment centers and sort centers. Stowing is the process of storing incoming inventory into an appropriate storage location for future retrieval. Stowers perform their tasks differently depending on the kind of facility they work in. In PIT centers/non-robotic facilities, they will use order pickers to stow items in racks while in Amazon Robotics (AR) facilities, they stow items in pods that are delivered by robots. The day-to-day tasks of an Amazon stower include picking, scanning, and placing items into storage shelves in a fast and efficient manner.
