MODEX 2026: AI, components, warehouse automation software & more

Purpose-built to help warehouse operators perform with greater precision and operational confidence, Locus Robotics said that Locus Array is the industry’s first Robots-to-Goods (R2G) system, combining AI-driven orchestration, advanced machine vision, AI based dexterous manipulation and autonomous robotics to bring a vision-guided robotic arm directly to inventory stored in standard warehouse shelving. At Array’s core is an intelligent perception system that continuously interprets its environment. AI-based vision technology identifies totes, validates SKU placement and guides precise robotic handling in real time, while AI-based decision logic determines task sequencing, inventory interaction, optimal SKU slotting, and workflow prioritization. This enables Locus Array to autonomously execute induction, dropoff, sortation, picking, putaway, cycle counting and slotting with zero human intervention. Through continuous operation, it helps maintain productivity during peak periods, labor shortages and external demand shocks. Its compact design also supports increased storage density compared to traditional manual processes, enabling more efficient use of existing warehouse footprints.
