MODEX 2024: Locus Robotics unveils LocusHub business intelligence engine

Locus Robotics, an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) for fulfillment warehouses provider, announced the release of its LocusHub business intelligence engine at MODEX 2024 in Atlanta.

LocusHub is an integral component of the LocusOne platform, harnessing advanced analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning to deliver predictive and prescriptive insights that maximize productivity, lower costs and unlock new levels of warehouse intelligence.

Key capabilities and benefits of LocusHub include:

"LocusHub represents a major step forward that will enable warehouses to leverage the game-changing potential of AI and machine learning to drive warehouse optimization," said Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics. "This engine combines traditional reporting tools with prescriptive insights and recommendations, as well as fleet management controls, all in a single dynamic interface."

LocusHub provides customers warehouse data and predictive suggestions in a comprehensive operations management offering. It uses the LocusOne platform to optimize real-time, second-by-second coordination of Locus' AMR fleets.

LocusHub's reporting capabilities process real-time operational data to thoughtfully forecast labor requirements, identify potential disruptions, and surface proactive recommendations.

Some LocusHub capabilities include:

• Detailed descriptive analytics: Comprehensive reporting on real-time and historical robot fleet and warehouse performance metrics to pinpoint areas for optimization.
• Customizable fleet management tools: Granular controls and permissions to tailor bot operations, workflow routing and data accessibility by user role or location.
• Guided actionable insights: An AI-powered analytics engine that automatically identifies pain points and workflow bottlenecks while prescribing intelligent resolutions.
• Predictive modeling: Using machine learning to forecast future operational needs related to staffing, robot fleet sizing, order volumes and more.
• Advanced filtering: Gives end users the ability to filter down to the lens they need, data can be sliced according to zone, floor, task type and many more.
• Permission-Based Access: Access appropriate information for management and associates based on their roles.
• Continuous Innovation Delivery: New data science and AI functionality is delivered through LocusHub's cloud-based model in the future as new options become available.

"LocusHub provides a framework to visualize data, predict future requirements, and receive AI-guided recommendations before issues even occur," Faulk said. "LocusHub's extensible architecture is designed to allow the integration of new business intelligence modules over time.”
