Locus Robotics, a global provider of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for warehouse automation, today broke ground for its new global headquarters in Wilmington, Massachusetts. The company said the expansion stands as a reflection of its remarkable growth and its unwavering commitment to future innovation in the rapidly advancing field of warehouse automation.

"We're thrilled to break ground on our new headquarters in Wilmington," said Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics.

The nearly 200,000 square foot/18,580 square meter facility in the Boston area will serve as the hub for Locus Robotics' expanding global operations and will house Locus's team of engineering, manufacturing, and operations professionals. The space also provides room for future expansion and growth.

With its AI and data science-driven LocusONE Warehouse Automation Platform at the core of the Locus solution, the company continues to empower labor-strapped 3PL, retail, health care, and manufacturing businesses to optimize productivity in their operations, reduce costs, and stay competitive in the rapidly evolving e-commerce landscape, the company noted. The LocusONE Warehouse Automation Platform enables the smooth orchestration of enterprise-scale multiple robotic form factors within a single coordinated platform. LocusONE optimizes robotic task allocation, route planning, and resource use, while delivering real-time insights into warehouse operations, the company added.

Faulk also emphasized the company's goal of contributing further to the local economy. "Our new facility will stimulate job creation and innovation within the region, aligning with our vision of fostering world-class technological advancement and economic growth," Faulk added.
