LocusBot at Carlisle

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.

GEODIS operates a fleet of LocusBots at its distribution center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The site reached a milestone of 10 million units picked in December 2024, making it one of Locus Robotics' highest-throughput customer deployments. GEODIS and Locus Robotics have partnered since 2018 (initial Indiana site) and in 2022 expanded to 1,000 LocusBots across 14 GEODIS sites globally. The Carlisle site serves a range of retail and consumer brand clients.
