A Locus Robotics autonomous mobile robot has completed the one billionth pick within DHL Supply Chain’s warehouse network. The item: a pink beanie. DHL Supply Chain and Locus Robotics have been partners since 2017. The deployment has since grown to thousands of robots across more than forty DHL-managed sites worldwide, coordinated through Locus Robotics’ LocusONE platform.
According to Locus Robotics, the partnership has delivered productivity improvements of between 30 and 180 percent in picks per hour, alongside an 80 percent reduction in onboarding time for new employees. The two companies have also announced plans to expand the fleet to 5,000 AMRs across the DHL network.
