On Monday, we visited Amazon's distribution facility in Phoenix. We walked through their most advanced facility, seeing the automation magic used to allow Amazon to ship thousands of packages out a day. They utilize miles and miles of conveyers and an intense comprehensive tracking system to ensure proper delivery of all products. Not one picture from this.
On Wednesday, we visited Dell's production facility in Austin. It was not what we expected for a computer manufacturing facility. The actual plant tour was really short, but the total Dell visit was really long. The rest of the time was filled with videos and presentations. It was not what I was expecting for a computer manufacturing plant tour. I managed to take one photo.
On Friday, we visited Amgen's facility in Puerto Rico. It was by far the best run tour that we had. The Amgen people were very well organized, with a central command keeping the dance of the tour groups on time and at the correct locations. They showed us as much of their operations as they could. And to top it all off, they held a reception for us at the end of the day. I was able to take pictures at the reception, so i have those to show.
And so ends the LGO Domestic Plant Trek 2012. It was supreme.
