Locus Robotics

Your workers are your most critical productivity asset, escalating e-commerce demands place greater pressure on your people every day, and that puts greater pressure on you to attract, hire, and retain your workforce.

Leveraging Locus Robotics Advanced Navigation, DHL will pilot LocusBots that will automatically learn the most efficient travel routes through a warehouse, to dramatically improve worker efficiency and productivity 2x to 5x over traditional cart picking, the zone-based system allows for hands-free picking, while virtually eliminating errors.

Faced with the loss of a robotic pick solution, Quiet Logistics invented its own robots. Are they the next generation of robotic-enabled picking in the warehouse?
