Accelerating Success: Four Billion Picks and Beyond
The grand opening coincides with Locus Robotics crossing the four billion pick threshold, a testament to the company’s exponential growth and its position as the industry frontrunner in autonomous robotics for warehouse operations. This achievement comes a mere 28 weeks after reaching three billion picks, underscoring the rapidly increasing adoption of Locus’s automation solutions globally.
For comparison, it took Locus nearly seven years from the company’s launch in 2015 to achieve its first billion picks. Locus reached two billion picks just 11 months later in August 2023, followed by three billion picks just 33 weeks later in April 2024. This rapid growth pace illustrates the demand that Locus customers across the globe have for advanced robotics solutions across the supply chain.
