Leader in Warehouse Robotics Achieves Milestone In Just 94 Days

Locus Robotics (www.locusrobotics.com), the market leader in autonomous mobile robots (AMR) for fulfillment warehouses, today announced they have surpassed the half-a-billion-units-picked milestone. This new achievement was attained just 94 days after Locus reached their 400M level.

"Reaching our half-billion pick milestone this quickly underscores the critical business value that Locus's proven technology brings to our customers around the world as they face exploding order volumes and limited labor availability," said Rick Faulk, CEO, Locus Robotics." As ecommerce volumes increase, the pace of picking with LocusBots is also increasing exponentially. Locus's first 100-million milestone took 1,542 days while the most recent 100 million picks took just 94 days. Locus is proud to have helped our customers efficiently meet this challenge while positioning them for success today, and easily-scalable growth in the future."

The 500 millionth pick was made at a VF Corporation Fulfillment Center in Prague, Czech Republic and the item picked was a pair of Vans Old Skool Shoes.

As more shoppers continue to buy online and as businesses prepare for what is expected to be a record-breaking holiday season, retailers and fulfillment warehouse operators are turning to AMRs to meet growing demand and mitigate labor shortages to avoid the risk of losing valuable customers.

"DHL Supply Chain is committed to bringing innovative and productivity-enhancing technology to our customers with partners like Locus so that they have the capacity and flexibility to capitalize on new opportunities in the marketplace," said Adrian Kumar, Vice President, Global Operations Science, DHL Supply Chain. "We congratulate Locus on this momentous achievement and look forward to continuing to work with Locus to drive productivity, support capacity growth, and deliver continuous improvement within our customers' supply chains."

LocusBots have now traveled more than 3 million miles in customers' warehouses, the equivalent of more than 120 times around the Earth.

"Innovation and an unrelenting drive towards customer success have no doubt been drivers in this achievement." Says John Santagate, Vice President of Robotics at Körber Supply Chain. "500M picks handled on LocusBots is quite the milestone. Congratulations to the Locus team and here's to the next 500M"
