Locus Robotics, a developer of autonomous mobile robots, offered a sneak peek of its latest innovation at ProMat 2025 this week. The Locus Array is a fully automated, AI-driven, zero-touch order fulfillment system engineered for high-density storage and maximum throughput while enabling distribution and fulfillment centers to operate with high efficiency, lower costs, and great flexibility and scalability.
During a live demonstration of the Array, Rick Faulk, chief executive officer at Locus, explained the key features of the Array. Those features include:
- Zero-touch fulfillment – The system is powered by artificial intelligence automation and designed to eliminate manual touches, increase speed and accuracy, and lower labor costs.
- High-density storage & picking – With double-deep tote storage, the Array maximizes space utilization to cover 100% of SKUs, which increases picking speed and efficiency.
- Rapid deployment – Developed with speed in mind, the system can be implemented in weeks, not months or years. This quick deployment can reduce downtime and infrastructure costs.
- Ultra-low cost per pick – Locus Array is designed to optimize operations while delivering significant cost savings and a fast ROI.
- 24/7 continuous operation – The system works nonstop to meet increasing fulfillment demands and produce peak productivity for all operations.
- Seamless integration – Array can work seamlessly with Locus Origin and Locus Vector to automate end-to-end warehouse workflows.
The Array order fulfillment system is fully integrated with the company’s LocusONE ecosystem. It can induct two totes at a time and can also pull from the flow rack. According to Faulk, the system can process 10,000 order per day, works well in greenfield and brownfield locations, can navigate on uneven flooring, offers three different totes sizes, and has double aisle picking capabilities, making it ideal for narrow aisles.
While initial pilot programs are currently in process with multiple global customers, Locus will have limited availability of the Array in early 2026. For more information, visit locusrobotics.com.
