Carhartt Deploys Robots and Sees 200% Productivity Increase

Carhartt needed a way to scale and close their capacity gap to improve distribution and speed. DHL Supply Chain recommended Locus Robotics’ multi-bot solution to reduce cycles and lessen the amount of walking for associates.

With Locus, “we saw an immediate impact to productivity and throughput on day one as well as a big boost in employee morale," said Tim Dolchich, Director of Engineering, DHL.

Carhartt used AGVs previously, but found the usability, cost model, and maintenance of Locus’ AMRs to be more flexible and efficient. Tony Gariety, VP of Distribution Operations at Carhartt, added “We’ve seen UPH productivity double, which is huge to anybody operating warehouses on a costs and efficiency play.”
