Locus Robotics, a global leader in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for warehouse automation, has broken ground on its new global HQ in Wilmington, Massachusetts, USA. The expansion stands as a reflection of the company’s remarkable growth and its unwavering commitment to future innovation in the rapidly advancing field of warehouse automation.

“We’re thrilled to break ground on our new headquarters in Wilmington,” said Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics. “This is a significant milestone that reflects our robust growth trajectory and our dedication to revolutionising the warehouse automation sector with cutting-edge, AI (Artificial Intelligence)-driven robotics solutions.”

The nearly 200,000 sq ft/18,580m² facility in the Boston area will serve as the hub for Locus Robotics’ expanding global operations and will house Locus’s dynamic team of engineering, manufacturing, and operations professionals dedicated to driving innovation in robotics warehouse automation. The extra space also provides room for future expansion and growth.

With its AI and data science-driven LocusONE Warehouse Automation Platform at the core of the Locus solution, the company continues to empower labour-strapped 3PL, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing businesses to optimise productivity in their operations, reduce costs, and stay competitive in the rapidly evolving e-commerce landscape.

The LocusONE Warehouse Automation Platform enables the smooth orchestration of enterprise-scale multiple robotic form factors within a single coordinated platform. LocusONE optimises robotic task allocation, route planning, and resource use, while delivering real-time insights into warehouse operations.

Faulk also emphasised the company’s goal of contributing further to the local economy. “Our new facility will stimulate job creation and innovation within the region, aligning with our vision of fostering world-class technological advancement and economic growth,” he added.

With this new milestone, Locus Robotics reiterates its commitment to delivering game-changing solutions that enable businesses to optimise their warehouse operations, enhance productivity, and meet the evolving demands of the market. The ground-breaking of the new headquarters lays a solid foundation for the company’s continuous growth and future innovations, affirming Locus Robotics’ position as a global leader in warehouse automation.

With more than 230 sites under contract around the world – some having as many as 500 LocusBots per site – the Locus solution efficiently and seamlessly orchestrates the operation and management of multiple robot form factors, and provides forward-looking, real-time business intelligence, critical for optimising productivity, proactively managing labour, and managing costs.

Locus Robotics‘ revolutionary, multi-bot solution incorporates powerful and intelligent autonomous mobile robots that operate collaboratively with human workers to dramatically improve piece‐handling, case-handling, and pallet-moving productivity 2X–3X, while optimising labour and making efficient use of warehouse space. Locus helps retailers, 3PLs, and specialty warehouses efficiently meet and exceed the increasingly complex and demanding requirements of fulfilment environments. Easily integrating into large-scale new and existing warehouse infrastructures without disrupting workflows, Locus transforms productivity without transforming the warehouse.

Locus’s EMEA presence is centrally located in Amsterdam, with an APAC presence located in Singapore.

Leading London-based robotics and data intelligence company Dexory today announced the launch of their new, enhanced solution DexoryView – a revolutionary new platform that will change the way that warehouses are managed through the power of real-time data. DexoryView will be supported by a new Dexory robot – the tallest yet of its kind.

This new platform automates data collection and builds real-time digital twins that unlock insights across all levels of warehouse operations. This allows companies unprecedented and up-to-date access to their inventory – across the receiving, storing and dispatch stages – from anywhere and at any time. Not only will companies be able to automate their stock checks with this solution, but also keep track of occupancy, increasing efficiency and helping to facilitate profitable operations.

“The DexoryView platform offers a real-time representation of the state of your warehouse via an intuitive, easy to access digital format – including racking, all goods and machinery inside as well as the team working in the space,” said Andrei Danescu, Dexory CEO. “What makes the DexoryView platform unique is the way we constantly feed it with real-time information captured from warehouses through our autonomous robots.”

The new robot built to support DexoryView can extend up to 12m – an industry first. The range of height allows it to scan warehouses of any shape or size. With an array of high-quality 3D depth cameras and sensors, the robot autonomously navigates the warehouse using lidar technology to capture high-definition 3D scans of the space as well as any labels and barcodes on pallets, parcels or products.

These scans are fed straight into the platform to create accurate, real-time digital models of the status and condition of warehouse racks and items on them and are presented through an up-to-date digital twin of the warehouse. Offered as a convenient subscription model, companies can scale their DexoryView access based on their data needs.

“DexoryView is an innovative, cost-effective and time-efficient solution that is easy to implement, scale and adapt to specific needs. It requires no infrastructure changes and can often be up and running in less than a week,” says Oana Jinga, Dexory COO.

Founded in 2015, Dexory is a rapidly growing robotics company that collects real-time insights using fully autonomous, mobile robots to quickly process pallets at every stage in their journey throughout a warehouse. Working with major industry leaders such as Menzies Aviation, Maersk, Huboo, and a number of other logistics and warehousing companies in the UK and across Europe, Dexory provides solutions that optimise warehouse operations by integrating automation, data intelligence and digital twin technology.

Dexory captures real-time insights into warehouse operations using fully autonomous robots and Artificial Intelligence. Using autonomous technology to unlock data and drive insights through all levels of business operations, the company is helping customers boost their performance and unlock their full potential. Instant access to real-time data helps optimise the present, de-risk the future and discover the intractable in each location and at every stage of the product journey through the warehouse and onto dispatch. Founded in 2015, Dexory aims to transform the data-gathering operations of warehouse environments.
