Warehouse automation provider Locus Robotics has launched its latest AI-powered fulfilment system, Locus Array, at MODEX 2026 in Atlanta, marking a major step forward in autonomous warehouse operations.
The system combines mobile robotics, a robotic picking arm, and AI-powered perception to enable fully autonomous, end-to-end fulfilment workflows without manual intervention, the company announced.
Deployments are already underway with early access customers in North America, including DHL Supply Chain, while the company plans to expand globally across Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
“For years, autonomous fulfillment has been more hype and promises than reality — until now,” said Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics.
“Warehouse operations are facing increasing pressure from labor constraints, rising costs, and constant variability that traditional systems can’t absorb. Locus Array brings autonomy into real-world operations at scale, introducing a fundamentally different, system-level approach designed to solve these challenges at their core.”
Locus Array features a tower-style robotic design that navigates warehouse aisles autonomously while using an integrated robotic arm to pick and place items directly from standard storage racks.
The system is powered by the LocusONE AI-driven orchestration platform, allowing it to operate seamlessly alongside other robots such as Locus Origin and Locus Vector within a unified fleet.
By adopting a robots-to-goods (R2G) approach, the solution brings automation directly to inventory, eliminating the need for complex infrastructure changes while improving operational efficiency.
It enables high-density, parallel order processing and supports continuous 24/7 operations, significantly increasing throughput while streamlining fulfilment processes.
The system handles multiple workflows, including picking, put-away, induction, replenishment, and slotting, reducing manual labor requirements by up to 90%.
Designed for rapid deployment, Locus Array can be implemented within weeks without major facility redesigns, making it highly adaptable for existing warehouse environments.
Its scalable architecture allows businesses to adjust operations based on demand fluctuations, SKU variations, and layout changes without disrupting workflows.
Operating under a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, the system offers a cost-effective solution with lower upfront investment while delivering faster return on investment for warehouse operators.
