LocusBot at Roosendaal

Locus Robotics (Wilmington, Massachusetts) is a warehouse-automation company whose LocusBots are collaborative goods-to-person picking AMRs that work alongside human pickers, delivered on a Robots-as-a-Service subscription model via the LocusONE platform. The registry records it at commercial maturity: it operates across 150+ customers and 350+ sites in 20 countries, having surpassed 6 billion cumulative picks by October 2025 (accelerating, with DHL Supply Chain a marquee customer). It raised a $117 million Series F at a roughly $2 billion valuation in 2022 (a point-in-time figure). In April 2026 it launched Locus Array, a mobile-manipulation system extending the line from collaborative picking toward fully autonomous fulfillment. Pick-count and fleet figures are company-reported.

CEVA Logistics deployed approximately 15 LocusBots from Locus Robotics at its Roosendaal, Netherlands e-fulfillment center in January 2020, becoming the first implementation of LocusBot cobot technology in mainland Europe. The warehouse handles online order fulfillment for a retail partner selling household and consumer goods. By March 2020, CEVA was approaching 1 million units picked. The deployment was part of CEVA's broader investment in autonomous fulfillment to handle higher volume and labor scarcity challenges. Note: the previous registry location entry (venlo-netherlands) has been corrected to roosendaal-netherlands per the primary press release source.
