In the rapidly changing world of warehouse technology, Locus Robotics stands out with its innovative automation solutions. Their advanced robotic systems are engineered to optimize various aspects of warehouse management, including order picking, putaway, transport, and mezzanine management. Here’s a closer look at how Locus Robotics is transforming these key areas.

Order Picking

Locus Robotics revolutionizes the order picking process with its state-of-the-art robotic solutions, ensuring a seamless, efficient, and user-friendly experience. The LocusBots allow workers to set their own picking pace, which significantly increases Units Per Hour (UPH) and Lines Per Hour (LPH) rates. This system eliminates the need for heavy manual carts and slow motorized cart systems, reducing the physical strain on workers and increasing their time on task.

The robots feature an integrated, multi-language display that automatically adjusts to each worker's language preference, minimizing the need for extensive training and allowing for immediate productivity, even for new or seasonal workers. The intuitive user interface of the Locus order picking robot guides workers precisely to the location of items, reducing walking time and simplifying the picking process. Additionally, Locus Robotics customizes the bots to accommodate various container types and special requirements, enhancing the adaptability of their solutions to different products and workflows.

Warehouse Putaway

The Locus Robotics putaway system is designed to streamline the storage of goods in a warehouse. Functioning as the reverse of picking, this system involves robots assisting workers in replenishing goods in the warehouse. The LocusOne platform excels in managing labor-intensive tasks such as returns and restocking, leveraging Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) to reduce the physical burden on associates.

By automating the putaway process, Locus Robotics helps facilities optimize their workflows, allowing simultaneous order picking, returns management, and restocking. This integration not only saves time but also significantly cuts down on the walking distance for workers, enhancing overall efficiency and reducing fatigue.

Warehouse Transport Systems

Locus Transport provides a flexible and scalable solution for point-to-point (P2P) transport within the warehouse environment. Unlike traditional fixed conveyor systems, LocusBots are designed to move products and inventory dynamically across the warehouse floor. This system frees up human associates to focus on more value-added tasks, minimizing unproductive time spent walking long distances.

The adaptability of Locus Transport allows for seamless integration into existing warehouse operations without the need for costly infrastructure changes. This makes it an ideal solution for dynamic environments where the layout or operational needs may evolve over time.

Mezzanine Management

Managing multi-level warehouse operations can be particularly challenging, but Locus Robotics offers effective solutions for mezzanine management. Their systems provide end-to-end workflow management, seamlessly integrating with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and other automation technologies like takeaway conveyors and putwalls.

Real-time visibility is a key feature, allowing managers to monitor activity, productivity rates, and pending tasks across different floors. The flexibility of the Locus system supports dynamic configuration of workstreams, whether bottom-up or top-down, and facilitates easy reassignment of LocusBots across different levels. Additionally, the system ensures smooth handoffs to various stations, reducing the need for additional packing steps and streamlining the entire process.
