Locus Robotics Announces First Deployment of New Robotic Warehouse Fulfillment System
Multi Bot Solution to Drive Increased Throughput for eCommerce Fulfillment Innovator Quiet Logistics
ANDOVER, MA – November 17, 2015 – Locus Robotics Corporation announces today the first deployment
of its new multi robot warehouse fulfillment system, just in time for critical holiday season shipping.
Development partner Quiet Logistics, Inc., a leading provider of tech driven third party fulfillment
services for eCommerce innovators such as Zara, Bonobos and Bluefly, is using the technology in one of
its third party fulfillment centers.
“Locus is working to solve the real world, daily challenges experienced directly in our fulfillment
operations – they understand warehouses,” said Brian Lemerise, VP of Operations at Quiet Logistics.
“We were the first service provider to deploy Kiva robots. And now we see even greater benefits with
Locus – stronger throughput and greater operational flexibility at a significantly lower cost of
deployment.”
The Locus solution moves customer orders out the door more quickly, more accurately, and more
efficiently by reimagining the role of robots within the warehouse environment. Working within the
client’s current infrastructure, the system reduces costs and increases productivity, all with improved
order accuracy and time to ship.
“Today we introduce our new multi robot fulfillment solution,” said Bruce Welty, CEO and co-founder
of Locus Robotics Corporation. “The solution addresses all the challenges that keep warehouse
operators up at night – scalability, redundancy, portability, flexibility, adaptability and manageability –
while dramatically improving throughput and quality. It’s the culmination of many, many years of
doing, thinking, building and testing within the four walls of the warehouse.”
