DHL Supply Chain and Locus Robotics expand partnership
In the USA, DHL Supply Chain and Locus Robotics, a provider in autonomous mobile robots (AMR) for fulfilment warehouses, have extended their partnership to include ten new, nationwide deployments of the Locus AMR solution in 2020. The companies have signed an expanded multi-site services agreement outlining these terms.
“We are very excited to be growing our partnership with DHL supply chain,” said Rick Faulk, CEO Locus Robotics. “We've already identified the sites in question and expect deployment in 2020 to support volume for peak season. What is particularly gratifying about this expansion is that the DHL decision was based on observed successes in their early facilities. We continue to see customers expanding their relationships as they prove out our solution.”
DHL Supply Chain North America and Locus Robotics partnered in 2017 to pilot a collaborative, autonomous robotics solution – LocusBots – to support associates in piece picking order fulfilment in warehouses. (mw)
