-Locus Robotics Introduces LocusONE, the Warehouse Orchestration Platform Powering Centrally Managed Multibot AMR Automation
The data science-based platform seamlessly orchestrates large, multi-factor fleets robotically in very large warehouses to deliver predictable, efficient, and scalable productivity results.
WILMINGTON, Mass., March 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Locus Robotics, a leader in autonomous mobile robots (AMR) for distribution warehouses, announces LocusONE, the industry’s first data science-based warehouse automation platform that enables seamless operation and management of large numbers of multiple AMRs as a single, coordinated fleet in warehouses of all sizes. LocusONE uses proprietary data science to address all of the material movement needs found in today’s fulfillment and distribution warehouses.
“LocusONE makes it easy to deploy and manage large numbers of AMRs – and multiple form factors – within very large warehouses to work together as a single, orchestrated fleet,” said Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics. “Based on Locus’ proprietary data science engine, LocusONE enables operators to gain the flexibility and critical business intelligence needed to efficiently handle material payloads from 3 ounces to 3,000 pounds.”
The LocusONE platform supports one thousand or more robots, operating in sites of up to one million square feet or more, executing multiple use cases simultaneously in a single, intelligent, orchestrated solution. With LocusONE, LocusBots perform a wide variety of tasks including order picking and fulfillment, case picking and fulfillment, replenishment, pallet building, routine routing, point-to-point transportation, counting , etc., within a single warehouse. Behind-the-scenes data science optimizes the mix of tasks throughout the day for optimal warehouse productivity.
LocusONE integrates with any Warehouse Management System (WMS) to offer flexible and dynamic fleet management, easily deploying a mix of Locus Origin, Vector and Max AMR tailored to the specific needs of each warehouse. Locus’ installed base of more than 250 customers receives regular enhancements in the form of over-the-air updates.
“Locus enables DHL Supply Chain to deploy the right bot for our customers’ diverse needs, all centrally coordinated and managed on a single platform. With Locus’ powerful data science strategy, delivered through dashboards, Leveraging LocusView, LocusONE plays an important role in providing the key business intelligence insights we need to optimize operational efficiencies and improve quality of service for our customers,” said Sally Miller, North America Chief Information Officer and Chief Transformation Officer Digital DSC of DHL Supply Chain North America. “Partnering with Locus has helped us deliver on our commitment to continuous innovation and digital transformation throughout the supply chain.”
Locus’ powerful scientific database enables you to seamlessly navigate hundreds (or even thousands) of bots in a single space, as well as deliver real-time, actionable, predictive management guidance to dramatically improve performance in a multitude of scenarios. use. LocusONE includes Locus’ award-winning LocusView suite, which provides actionable, data-driven insights through more than two dozen real-time reports and dashboards, including job guidance, predictive insights for job completion, operational comparisons against targets or time frames, order tracking and targeting, mission analysis and optimization, key performance visualization and much more.
LocusONE further expands Locus’ position as the industry AMR leader for the automation and digitization of warehouses, distribution centers, and fulfillment centers to efficiently meet growing order volumes, labor shortages, and demands. rising consumer expectations.
“As warehouses become increasingly complex, the ability to have a reliable data analytics strategy in place is essential to their success. Having the ability to deploy a flexible, seamless, and proven AMR management platform to meet a wide range of use cases has become a necessity in the warehouse fulfillment industry,” said Ash Sharma, Senior Director of Research at Interact Analysis. “This innovative platform demonstrates how critical multi-format factor interoperability is in today’s fulfillment warehouse and reflects Locus Robotics’ commitment to innovation, ease of use and broad industry insight over the past few years. “
“LocusONE’s ability to quickly and efficiently integrate with other automation technologies, such as sorting or packaging systems, ensures that an agile and scalable robotics solution can be easily deployed in both new and existing environments,” Faulk noted.
“The LocusONE platform enables Kenco to create a seamless compliance experience that delivers increased productivity, while improving employee morale and visibility. We rely on LocusView dashboards to monitor progress and report to our workforce management throughout throughout the day,” said Kristi Montgomery, vice president of Innovation, Research and Development for Kenco Logistics. “LocusONE’s real-time insights allow us to delight our customers, and that’s what matters most to Kenco.”
LocusONE is available through the company’s all-inclusive business model, Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS). Locus Origin, Vector and Max can be easily added to existing and new workflows, allowing operations to dynamically scale and adapt to changing market demands. In a study by Peerless Research Group, nearly half of respondents said they would prefer to purchase their robotics solution as a complete integrated system that includes hardware, software, support, and maintenance.
Locus’ Recycle, Refurbish, and Repurpose initiative is the first in the AMR industry to actively drive sustainability into all aspects of the business, from manufacturing and deployment to support and maintenance, at sites around the world. Locus continually works to identify and apply best practice strategies and tactics designed to reduce overall waste in all areas of our organization.
Locus will present LocusONE at Promat, Booth #S2303, the material handling industry’s premier event, taking place March 20-23 in Chicago, IL, where Locus’ theme will be Vision, Intelligence, Results. , Results), emphasizing Locus’ commitment to delivering actionable intelligence in an innovative solution to drive client results. Locus will also welcome its guests to the Locus Theater, which will feature a series of keynote speakers and industry information presentations, discussions with Locus customers and partners, as well as live pick and putaway demonstrations.
