What is Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS)?

It's a subscription model. You pay a monthly fee per robot, which includes hardware, software, support, and upgrades, eliminating large upfront capital expenditure.

Can Locus robots work in multi-level facilities?

Yes. Our AMRs are equipped with integrated elevators and can navigate between mezzanine levels autonomously, balancing workloads across floors.

How does the LocusONE platform optimize robot performance?

LocusONE uses real-time AI to dynamically orchestrate work. It analyzes task queues, robot locations, and associate progress to constantly rebalance assignments and minimize travel time.

What's the difference between Locus Origin/Vector and Locus Array?

Origin/Vector are collaborative robots (P2G) that guide associates to picks. Locus Array is a fully autonomous physical AI robot (R2G) that performs picking/putaway without human intervention in the aisle.

What kind of ROI and productivity gains can we expect?

Customers report 2-3x productivity gains. For example, DHL saw units-per-hour rise from 78 to 150. ROI is typically achieved within 12-18 months, depending on your operational volume.

MSK Pharma Group + Locus Robotics: Scaling Pharmaceutical Fulfillment Across Multiple Sites

How do you scale pharmaceutical fulfillment across multiple warehouse sites while maintaining traceability, throughput, and operational flexibility? MSK Pharma Group operates highly regulated pharmaceutical fulfillment environments in Bensheim, Germany, serving pharmacies, wholesalers, and healthcare customers. As demand grew, MSK needed fulfillment infrastructure capable of scaling quickly across both existing and newly developed facilities, without locking operations into rigid automation constraints. To support that growth, MSK partnered with Locus Robotics to deploy flexible, adaptive fulfillment infrastructure powered by LocusONE™ orchestration. Today, the operation runs: 63 Locus robots across two warehouse sites 55,000+ average daily units processed 6,400+ average daily order lines handled Robot capacity can be shifted between sites in approximately 15 minutes The deployment supports pharma-specific workflows, including: Serialization and lot validation Expiry-date tracking Real-time ERP verification System Directed Stations (SDS) for dynamic pack routing In this video, MSK explains how Locus Robotics helped reduce walking time, improve pick productivity, support future expansion, and maintain operational flexibility in a highly regulated fulfillment environment. #LocusRobotics #PharmaceuticalFulfillment #WarehouseAutomation #SupplyChain #FulfillmentOperations

APL Logistics: Origin Vector Shelf Mixed Fleet Expansion

APL Logistics is expanding its use of Locus Robotics to support faster, more flexible warehouse operations across multiple sites. In this customer story, leaders and associates from APL Logistics share how Locus Origin and Locus Vector help improve picking efficiency, reduce travel time, accelerate training, and increase throughput across facilities in Woodridge, Illinois and Atlanta, Georgia. At the Woodridge facility, APL Logistics uses a mixed fleet of Locus Origin and Locus Vector robots to support both small parts picking and higher-volume bulk workflows. By expanding from Origin robots to a mixed fleet, the team increased automation coverage and added more volume through the robot picking area. In Atlanta, Locus Origin robots support small parts picking, helping reduce walking and improve daily fulfillment performance. With Locus Robotics, APL Logistics has seen significant productivity gains, including a 122% increase within the bot picking area at Woodridge, while improving order prioritization, training speed, and operational visibility. Watch how APL Logistics is using flexible warehouse automation to scale with changing customer needs, improve fulfillment performance, and continue expanding automation across its global network.

Locus Robotics Acquires Nexera Robotics to Advance Mobile Manipulation

Locus Robotics has acquired Nexera Robotics, adding patented end-effector technology to Locus Array and advancing AI-driven mobile manipulation for warehouse fulfillment. This video shows the new patented end-effector in action as it handles the real-world variability of warehouse inventory. The new patented end-effector combines grasping intelligence, onboard sensory inputs, computer vision, and a patented soft membrane structure to adapt dynamically to item characteristics such as shape, surface texture, material, porosity, and weight. For fulfillment operators, this means Locus Array can address more of the items that challenge traditional automation, including: • Porous textiles • Loosely bagged items • Perforated polybags • Irregular packages • Delicate goods • Contoured products • Small items • Products with inconsistent surfaces or thin packaging features With this acquisition, Locus Robotics strengthens its Physical AI platform and enhances its unified fulfillment solution that is flexible, scalable, and built for high-throughput warehouse operations.
