Summary of Innovation

Locus Robotics introduces the next generation of autonomous mobile robots to meet the demanding needs of fast-growing omnichannel order fulfillment. As part of Locus’s industry-leading, multi-robot solution, LocusBot2020 delivers several innovative, new hardware and software features that enable high-volume order fulfillment faster and more efficiently than previously possible.

LocusBot 2020’s enhanced features include:

· - Highly advanced navigation and obstacle recognition software stack

· - Unlimited flexibility to use a wide range of container types, including picking directly into shipping cartons, large cartons, flip-top totes, or garments on hangers

· - Expandable powered accessory port for on-board printers and scanners

· - True omnichannel task interleaving for highly efficient retail, wholesale, and ecommerce order picking scenarios, all using the same robot pick space at the same time.

The result is a highly efficient, cost-effective, and seamless omnichannel picking solution that maximizes worker productivity and time-on-task, and reduces wasted effort, thus helping operators effectively meet customer SLAs and lower their operational costs.

Innovation Statement

Locus Robotics’ new LocusBot 2020 introduces the industry’s first – and only – true omnichannel-focused, autonomous robotic automation fulfillment solution, which seamlessly supports true task interleaving for retail, wholesale, and e-commerce order fulfillment, all within the same robot pick space. LocusBot 2020 incorporates industry-leading navigation capabilities and flexible configurability to support a wide variety of fulfillment products and processes.

Applicability

Locus Robotic’s new LocusBot 2020 allows retailers and 3PLs to use powerful autonomous mobile robots to gain higher operational efficiencies by dramatically reducing non-productive walking time and labor costs to meet the demands of today’s omnichannel warehouse fulfillment environments.
