Locus Robotics and Radial celebrated the 25-million pick milestone performed on LocusBots at Radial's Shepherdsville, Ky. warehouse.

Locus Robotics, a global provider of AI-driven mobile warehouse automation, announced that its partnership with Radial, Inc., a provider of e-commerce offerings, has surpassed 25 million units picked in Radial’s Shepherdsville, Ky., warehouse.

The companies said that this milestone highlights how Locus’s advanced automation and Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) models are transforming fulfillment by delivering greater scalability, operational resilience and consistent high-volume performance.

Across Radial’s Locus Robotics-powered facilities, Locus Robotics said that its warehouse automation is enabling higher throughput and improved scalability, including quadrupling output through the same space and area in a condensed timeframe, like peak, even as order volumes and SKU complexity continue to rise.

With 87 LocusBots supporting daily operations and an expanded fleet of 104 peak robots added for peak season, the company said its partnership with Radial showcases how adaptable automation translates into greater agility, more consistent service levels, lower operating costs and stronger peak readiness across Radial’s network.

“Consumers are no longer buying products, they’re buying confidence in delivery,” said Tom Schmitt, CEO, Radial. “Our teams, powered by Locus Robotics’ intelligent systems, deliver on that promise every day. This milestone demonstrates how our shared approach to fulfillment - fast, flexible, and data-driven - is keeping our operations ahead of the curve.”

Locus Robotics said that its LocusONE platform continuously captures and analyzes billions of data points to optimize throughput, route efficiency and fleet performance. Operating globally at a rate of 200 to 300 units picked per second, Locus Robotics AMRs work alongside human associates to eliminate non-value-added steps and improve productivity, safety and satisfaction. The company said the result is a seamless orchestration of people and robots that keeps fulfillment operations predictable and efficient, even under peak pressure.

“Surpassing 25 million picks at a single Radial site is a powerful proof point of how intelligent automation can deliver reliability, scale, and performance during retail’s most demanding season,” said Rick Faulk, CEO, Locus Robotics. “Together with Radial, we’re demonstrating what true fulfillment-on-demand looks like: highly scalable, operationally efficient, and built to empower people.”
