Locus Robotics, a global leader in AI-driven, flexible warehouse automation, proudly announces that its largest mobile robot, the Locus Vector, has received CE certification. This milestone underscores Locus’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence, expanding its reach across Europe and international markets. Leveraging the LocusONEâ„¢ platform, Locus Vector delivers exceptional warehouse productivity, scalability, and flexibility, empowering businesses to streamline complex workflows with unmatched efficiency.
Currently deployed across multiple locations, including prominent third-party logistics providers (3PLs) and a leading global apparel and footwear retailer in Europe, Locus Vector’s certification highlights its ability to handle larger payloads, adapt to diverse order dimensions, and manage complex, multi-step processes. This achievement solidifies Locus’s position as a pioneer in flexible, scalable warehouse automation.
Unmatched Flexibility. Unlimited Throughput.
The Locus Vector robot, integrated with the LocusONEâ„¢ platform, complements existing Locus Origin fleets, allowing businesses to expand their automation capabilities for processes requiring heavier payloads or specialized handling, such as case picking, replenishment, and returns. The LocusONEâ„¢ platform provides real-time fleet optimization, visibility, productivity tracking, and seamless integration with third-party systems like WMS and ERP, enabling scalable growth without the need for infrastructure overhauls.
With the Locus Vector and Origin working together, Locus Robotics stands apart from traditional automation systems such as AS/RS and G2P, which struggle with heavier items, complex SKUs, and brownfield applications. By picking directly from pallets, these robots eliminate decanting and reduce labor costs, making them ideal for dynamic, high-throughput environments.
Locus Robotics’ flexibility in adapting to various warehouse settings makes it a game-changer for a wide array of industries. By deploying Locus Vector alongside existing automation fleets, customers gain unmatched efficiency and cost-effectiveness in managing diverse product ranges and order complexities.
Driving Customer Success Across Industries
Denis Niezgoda, Chief Commercial Officer, International, at Locus Robotics, stated, “The CE certification for Locus Vector allows us to offer our flexible warehouse automation solutions to a broader range of customers globally. With its exceptional payload capacity, mobility, and seamless integration into the LocusONEâ„¢ platform, Vector is the ideal solution for industries like 3PL, retail, and healthcare. Our customers are already reaping the benefits of increased flexibility and efficiency by deploying Vector alongside their Locus Origin fleets or as standalone units.”
Expanding Applications and Adding Value
Locus Vector is revolutionizing warehouse process automation across various industries. A UK-based 3PL uses Vector to automate wine distribution, directly picking bottles onto mobile pallet dollies. In Czechia, a leading retailer uses Locus Vector for large-volume replenishment, while Locus Origin robots handle picking tasks. The LocusONEâ„¢ platform orchestrates these workflows in real-time, optimizing operations and boosting productivity.
Locus Vector’s versatility extends beyond traditional warehouses, meeting the needs of highly dynamic environments like retail and healthcare. By automating replenishment and order picking, businesses are able to achieve greater efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall operational performance.
With the CE certification of Locus Vector, Locus Robotics continues to lead the charge in flexible warehouse automation, meeting the growing demand for innovative, high-performance solutions on a global scale.
