Locus Robotics Achieves CE Certification for High-Payload Vector Robot

Expanding Possibilities in Flexible Warehouse Automation

Locus Robotics, a global leader in AI-powered warehouse automation, has announced that its high-payload mobile robot, the Locus Vector, has achieved CE certification. This significant milestone allows Locus Robotics to broaden its reach across European and global markets, offering new possibilities in flexible warehouse automation.

The certification integrates the Locus Vector into the LocusONE™ platform, a system designed to optimize warehouse operations through real-time fleet management and productivity tracking. With CE certification, Locus can now provide businesses with even greater flexibility and scalability to automate complex workflows efficiently.

Advancing Warehouse Operations with Locus Vector

The Locus Vector robot is already operational across multiple sites, including deployments at leading third-party logistics providers (3PLs) and a major global apparel and footwear retailer in Europe. This high-capacity robot can handle more complex multi-step processes and accommodate larger payloads, making it a valuable tool for companies seeking to improve warehouse productivity.

By integrating the Locus Vector with the existing Locus Origin fleets, businesses can achieve seamless automation for workflows that require higher payloads or specialized handling, such as case picking, replenishment, and returns. The LocusONE™ platform ensures real-time optimization and visibility, allowing customers to scale their operations incrementally without costly infrastructure changes.

Enhancing Flexibility and Throughput

Locus Vector’s ability to complement traditional automation systems, such as automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) and goods-to-person (G2P) solutions, highlights its superior flexibility. Unlike conventional systems, Locus Vector handles heavier items, complex SKUs, and brownfield applications without requiring decanting, reducing labor costs and increasing throughput.

“This CE certification for Locus Vector allows us to bring the benefits of our flexible warehouse automation solution to more customers globally,” said Denis Niezgoda, Chief Commercial Officer, International, at Locus Robotics. “Vector’s exceptional payload capacity, mobility, and seamless integration into LocusONE™ make it the ideal solution for robust automation in industries like 3PL, retail, and healthcare.”

Driving Customer Success Across Industries

Locus Robotics’ customers are already benefiting from the integration of Locus Vector into their operations. For instance, a UK-based 3PL has automated its wine distribution process by using Vector to pick bottles directly onto mobile pallet dollies. In another example, a leading retailer in Czechia utilizes Locus Vector for large-volume replenishment, while Locus Origin robots handle picking tasks.

The LocusONE™ platform orchestrates these workflows in real time, optimizing productivity and improving operational efficiency. By reducing the need for manual labor and increasing automation, businesses can achieve higher throughput and better accommodate peak demands.

Meeting the Growing Demand for Automation

The demand for flexible and scalable warehouse automation solutions continues to rise globally. Locus Robotics is at the forefront of meeting this demand by offering innovative tools that enhance efficiency and productivity across diverse industries.

With Locus Vector’s CE certification, Locus Robotics further solidifies its position as a leader in warehouse automation, enabling businesses to automate complex processes and achieve greater operational success.
