Exponential Growth Solidifies Locus as the
Undisputed Leader in Warehouse Automation
WILMINGTON, Mass., April 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Locus Robotics, the world's
leading autonomous mobile robot (AMR) solution for warehouse
fulfillment, announced that it has surpassed 3 billion total picks
across its global customer deployments. The milestone was reached
just 33 weeks after the company recorded its two billionth pick,
and underscores the company's continued rapid growth, solidifying
its position as the undisputed leader in autonomous robotics
automation for the warehouse.
"Surpassing 3 billion picks across our global deployments is a
significant milestone that reflects the trust our customers have
placed in our innovative robotics solutions," said Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics. "As we
continue to push the boundaries of innovation, we remain focused on
our mission to revolutionize the supply chain industry and empower
our customers to drive operational efficiencies and productivity
gains in order to thrive in an increasingly complex and demanding
fulfillment landscape."
The billionth pick was a Carhartt t-shirt and occurred at a
Carhartt facility in Hanson, KY,
just milliseconds ahead of other items picked at the more than 300
Locus customer sites around the world.
While it took Locus nearly 7 years to reach its first billion
picks, the company's growth has since accelerated at an
unprecedented pace, reaching 2 billion picks just 11 months later,
and now the third billion in a mere 33 weeks. During the 2023
holiday peak season, Locus picked more than 331 million units,
representing a 66% increase vs. Holiday 2022, and picked a total of
1.2 billion units in 2023, an 82% increase over the previous
year.
"I first saw a demo of the Locus bots the year the company was
founded. I instantly understood the potential this system had,"
said Steve Banker, Vice President of
Supply Chain Services at ARC Advisory Group. "Their impressive
growth trajectory is a clear indication of the value their proven
solutions bring to customers, enabling them to improve
productivity, lower costs, and stay ahead of the competition."
"The 3 billion pick milestone is a testament to the widespread
adoption of Locus Robotics' innovative AMR technology across
various industries, including retail, third-party logistics (3PL),
healthcare, and manufacturing," added Faulk.
"At Carhartt, we are consistently impressed by the performance
and reliability of Locus Robotics' solutions," said Tony Gariety, VP, Distribution Operations.
"LocusBots have become an integral part of our operations, enabling
us to meet the ever-increasing demands of our customers while
maintaining the highest levels of efficiency and accuracy."
As the industry continues to evolve, Locus Robotics remains
committed to driving innovation and delivering cutting-edge
robotics solutions that enable its customers to scale to meet
growing demand. Locus's strong focus on research and development
ensures that it is well positioned to continue its rapid growth and
industry leadership in warehouse robotics automation.
