Locus Robotics launches R2G Locus Array system
The fully autonomous fulfillment system combines mobile robotics, an integrated robotic picking arm, and AI-powered perception with autonomous execution to complete end-to-end workflows without manual intervention.
THE SYSTEM can operate 24/7 to increase throughput while reducing manual labour by 90%.
Locus Robotics CEO Rick Faulk, says: “Warehouse operations are facing increasing pressure from labour constraints, rising costs, and constant variability that traditional systems can’t absorb. Locus Array brings autonomy into real-world operations at scale, introducing a fundamentally different, system-level approach designed to solve these challenges at their core.”
Among early access customers with Locus Array in live operations is DHL Supply Chain. a long-standing global customer.
DHL Supply Chain CIO Sally Miller, explains: “The launch of the Locus Array marks a pivotal moment in DHL’s Accelerated Digitalisation journey, moving us beyond traditional assisted picking into a new era of high-density, autonomous fulfillment. At DHL, we believe an idea is only as good as its ability to scale, and our partnership with Locus Robotics has consistently proven that we can turn cutting-edge concepts into global operational standards.
“By being the first to deploy Locus Array, we are not just addressing today’s labour and capacity challenges; we are actively engineering a more agile supply chain. This innovation allows us to maximise vertical space and dramatically reduce manual touches, ensuring that we continue to provide our customers with the speed and reliability they expect from the world’s logistics leader.”
Locus Array enables operations to achieve:
- Rapid, high-density throughput with streamlined order fulfilment (the system operates to 10 metres): Processes orders in parallel and consolidates work directly in the aisle, increasing throughput with the ability to operate 24/7.
- Autonomous execution across multiple workflows: Handles picking, putaway, induction, drop-off, slotting, and replenishment in one system, reducing manual labour by 90%.
- Faster time to value with minimal disruption: Deploys in weeks without redesigning facilities or adding complex infrastructure.
- Flexible, scalable performance in dynamic environments: Scales with volume and adapts to changing layouts, SKUs, and demand without reworking workflows.
- Coordinated, multi-robot execution: Works seamlessly with Locus Origin and Locus Vector to cover 100% of SKUs within a single, unified system—delivering rapid ROI with a scalable, low upfront-cost Robotics-as-a-Service model.
