Warehouse robots hitting scale milestones
Warehouse automation vendors report sustained operational scale: Plus One Robotics said its pick count passed two billion and doubled output over two years, while Locus Robotics posted system gains and multi‑site pick totals at customers such as The Quality Group (x.com) (x.com).
Two warehouse-robotics vendors reported scale milestones: Plus One Robotics passed 2 billion picks and Locus Robotics flagged system gains and customer multi-site totals. (roboticstomorrow.com) Plus One said it “surpassed 2 billion successful picks” across its global fleet on April 9, 2026, marking the company’s 10th anniversary and claiming the count doubled in two years. (roboticstomorrow.com) Locus announced it had reached 6 billion lifetime picks on October 22, 2025, and said the 6 billionth pick occurred at The Quality Group’s Elsdorf site in Germany. (markets.financialcontent.com) Both vendors tied the milestones to rising operational scale for customers, framing the numbers as responses to peak-season demand and tight warehouse labor markets. (roboticsandautomationnews.com) Locus reported recent growth of about 30–40 percent year over year and peak throughput figures it described as roughly 200–300 units picked per second, or about 45 million picks per week. (roboticsandautomationnews.com) Plus One’s systems focus on parcel induction and depalletization using its PickOne and related perception software, while Locus deploys LocusONE orchestration across fleets of mobile robots. (plusonerobotics.com) Erik Nieves, Plus One co‑founder and chief executive, said reaching two billion picks during the company’s 10th year was “both humbling and energizing.” (roboticstomorrow.com)
