Locus Robotics sets May 13 webinar to launch Locus Array globally

Locus Robotics said on April 13 that it is globally launching Locus Array, a new warehouse automation system for fully autonomous fulfillment. (businesswire.com) The company says Array combines a mobile robot, a built-in picking arm, and artificial-intelligence vision software so it can pick, put away, replenish, and move goods on its own. (businesswire.com) (therobotreport.com) Locus has scheduled a May 13, 2026 virtual event called “Robots-to-Goods: A More Reliable Way to Run Fulfillment,” listing Locus Array as a featured resource on its events page. (locusrobotics.com) In plain terms, the system is built to send robots to storage aisles instead of sending workers back and forth across a warehouse floor. Locus calls that model “robots-to-goods,” a contrast with older person-to-goods workflows and fixed goods-to-person systems. (locusrobotics.com) (therobotreport.com) Locus says Array reduces labor by more than 90% and can be installed in weeks without cutting concrete, rebuilding racking, or shutting down a site. The company also says the system can raise storage density by up to 2x with storage heights up to 10 feet and double-deep tote storage. (locusrobotics.com) The launch moves Array from preview mode into commercial rollout. Chief executive Rick Faulk wrote on March 17, 2025 that Locus had shown Array privately at LogiMAT in Stuttgart and ProMat in Chicago, with a formal launch planned later. (locusrobotics.com) Locus said deployments are already underway with early-access customers in North America, and it named DHL Supply Chain as one of the first operators running Array in live operations. DHL Chief Information Officer Sally Miller said the system helps the company use vertical space and reduce manual touches. (businesswire.com) The timing comes as Locus pushes beyond assisted picking robots into mobile manipulation, where one machine can see, grasp, carry, and place items. The Robot Report said Locus has deployed 17,000 autonomous mobile robots and assisted in more than 7 billion picks, while serving more than 150 customers across 350 facilities in 20 countries. (therobotreport.com) Locus is pitching Array as a way to automate high-volume warehouses without the long construction cycles and fixed layouts that come with more rigid automated storage systems. The company’s May 13 webinar is its next public step in making that case. (locusrobotics.com 1) (locusrobotics.com 2)
