About the team
OneMHS (One Material Handling Systems) is Amazon's in-house program for designing, procuring, and installing material handling equipment across its fulfillment network. Rather than relying solely on external integrators, OneMHS brings the full lifecycle of MHE deployment under Amazon's direct control — from final engineering and equipment procurement through mechanical and electrical installation, controls integration, and commissioning. The program supports both greenfield builds and brownfield retrofits, deploying conveyor systems, sorters, induction systems, and robotic work cells at scale. OneMHS enables Amazon to deliver faster, more cost-effective installations while maintaining higher quality and safety standards.
