Locus Robotics Corp. today announced LocusINTELLIGENCE, a business intelligence layer within its LocusONE software and automation platform. “Designed to provide real-time decision-making, continuous optimization, and deep operational insights, LocusINTELLIGENCE enables fulfillment operations to achieve unmatched flexibility, throughput, and efficiency,” said the company.
“At Locus Robotics, we are not just deploying robots—we’re delivering intelligence,” said Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics. “Our investment in AI, software, and next-generation automation technologies sets us apart as the leader in warehouse efficiency and fulfillment innovation. Through LocusINTELLIGENCE and LocusLABS, we are continuously developing solutions that allow our customers to maximize throughput, scale with confidence, and adapt to the evolving logistics landscape.”
Wilmington, Mass.-based Locus plans to show the artificial intelligence advances developed in its LocusLABS research-and-development division at ProMAT next week in Chicago and LogiMAT next month in Stuttgart, Germany.
LocusINTELLIGENCE offers optimization at scale
LocusINTELLIGENCE is an AI and analytics engine that uses machine learning, predictive analytics, and real-time operational data, explained Locus Robotics. The new software is designed to continuously adapt and optimize fulfillment operations at scale.
Locus listed the following features:
- AI-powered decision-making: LocusINTELLIGENCE dynamically manages task allocation, workflow optimization, and multi-robot coordination to align fulfillment priorities with real-time demand, claimed the company.
- Scalable and adaptive performance:Â It enables LocusONE to adjust to fluctuating order volumes, seasonal spikes, and labor constraints, ensuring that warehouses operate at peak efficiency.
- Real-time operational insights: The product gives operators visibility into throughput, worker performance, and predictive maintenance, enabling proactive, data-driven decisions.
- Enterprise integration – LocusINTELLIGENCE works natively within existing warehouse management system (WMS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, allowing for rapid deployment and immediate productivity gains, said Locus.
“Through LocusINTELLIGENCE, LocusONE delivers an even more powerful, AI-enhanced orchestration platform, providing warehouses with an intelligent automation ecosystem that continuously learns, adapts, and improves,” the company stated.
LocusLABS develops AI innovations for the warehouse
LocusLABS is dedicated to R&D, and Locus said it will unveil several warehouse AI breakthroughs at upcoming trade shows, including:
- AI object detection and avoidance: Advanced perception AI enables Locus robots to intelligently recognize and react to warehouse assets, ensuring smooth navigation and workflow optimization.Â
- System-directed labor optimization: An AI-driven optimization engine intelligently directs associates to the next best task, increasing productivity and fulfillment speed, asserted Locus.
- AI-powered simulation and workflow optimization:Â The company is adding the ability to test and refine warehouse layouts, workflows, and robotic interactions before implementation.
- RFID-based inventory accuracy:Â Locus said its integration of RFID technology will deliver greater accuracy for order validation and inventory tracking.
- Large-item and non-conveyable automation: LocusLABS is enabling flexible large-item conveyance, picking, and putaway, automating beyond traditional, fixed conveyor-based workflows.
- Humanoid collaboration with Reflex Robotics:Â Locus and Reflex Robotics are exploring the potential for humanoid robots to augment existing workflows such as induction, putaway, and more. They will demonstrate their automation in collaboration at ProMAT.
Locus Robotics said its LocusONE AI-driven platform and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) can easily integrate into existing warehouse environments to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and scale operations. The company offers its systems through a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model and supports workflows ranging from picking and replenishment to sorting and packout.
Locus was a 2024 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award winner, and its LocusBots have aided in more than 4 billion picks. Locus Robotics said it plans to host live demonstrations, interactive AI experiences, and expert-led presentations at both ProMAT and LogiMAT.
