LocusOne and LocusBots are driving 6 billion picks and counting from Locus Robotics.
Locus Robotics, a global provider of AI-driven mobile warehouse automation, announced that its robots have surpassed 6 billion picks worldwide.
The last billion picks took place in 24 weeks, which the company said is the fastest pace in its history. Locus announced it had surpassed 5 billion picks in April 2025.
So far in 2025, Locus Robotics said it has seen 30–40% year-over-year volume growth, with throughput reaching 200–300 units picked per second - roughly 45 million picks per week. Locus Robotics said the company is on track to hit 60 million per week during Q4 peak season.
In addition, deployments of incremental, peak-season bots have surged nearly 50% year-over-year, which the company said underscores both the scale of adoption and customers’ increasing reliance on Locus Robotics' highly flexible technology to handle demand spikes.
“Our growth is driven by our customers’ success,” said Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics. “Retailers, 3PLs, and healthcare providers are seeing measurable impact faster than ever - scaling productivity in weeks, not months. Staples Canada, for example, hit one million picks just 70 days after going live, proving the immediate ROI our platform delivers.”
The 6 billionth pick was made at The Quality Group in Elsdorf, Germany. This site is Locus’s largest site in the EMEA region, where more than 350 LocusBots operate daily to fulfill customer orders.
“Being part of Locus’s six-billion-pick milestone reflects how innovation and collaboration can drive real results,” said Felix Köhler, project lead, Elsdorf site, The Quality Group. “It’s a proud moment for our team and a testament to the performance we’ve achieved together.”
Locus Robotics said the core of this acceleration is LocusONE, the company’s advanced, AI-powered orchestration platform. By analyzing billions of data points across robots and tasks, the company said LocusONE continuously optimizes throughput, fleet productivity and network efficiency, while lowering costs and delivering a better employee experience.
Locus Robotics has expanded from one billion unit picks to six billion in just over three years. The company highlighted its previous pick-rate milestones:
