Wilmington, Massachusetts, November 3, 2021/PRNewswire/ - Locus Robotics (www.locusrobotics.com), the market leader in autonomous mobile robots (AMR) used to fulfill warehouses, today announced its enhancements Mezzanine management capabilities are designed to deliver highly optimized multi-layer mezzanine and vertical warehouse order picking management to improve productivity, flexibility and maximum throughput.

"With Locus mezzanine management, operators can optimally control order management and worker productivity, regardless of the number of mezzanines," said Sophie Pagalday, Director of Product Marketing at Locus Robotics. "This powerful tool optimizes the throughput and productivity of each task through intelligent intra-level task/picking clusters and directional picking and delivery."

As order volumes continue to soar, the footprint of warehouse operators in today's fulfillment and distribution warehouses has grown rapidly. In order to stay ahead of demand, many warehouse operators choose to be vertical rather than build new buildings. However, effectively managing workflow and personnel in multi-level operations has become a management challenge.

"Almost 30,000 warehouses will be added in the next 5 years to help cope with consumer buying trends and continuous changes in the supply chain. But this is not enough to cope with the growing number of SKUs and retailers' desire for better inventory," Interact Said Ash Sharma, Senior Research Director of Analysis. "This mezzanine approach is widely adopted worldwide as a way to easily provide additional warehouse capacity in existing facilities."

Locus provides intelligent orchestration of tasks across multiple levels or super-large center mezzanine, optimizing workflow and order integration to achieve maximum throughput. The intelligent workflow optimization engine actively guides LocusBots and workers to follow the most efficient order picking sequence.

Locus Robotics' revolutionary multi-robot solution combines powerful and intelligent autonomous mobile robots that can work collaboratively with human workers. Compared with traditional workpiece processing systems, it can significantly increase workpiece processing efficiency by 2 to 3 times, and labor less. This award-winning solution can help retailers, 3PLs and professional warehouses to effectively meet and exceed the increasingly complex and demanding fulfillment environment requirements, easily integrate into existing warehouse infrastructure without interrupting the workflow, and without changing the warehouse’s Circumstances immediately transform productivity. In 2021, Locus Robotics joined Inc. 500, ranking 428th.
