Locus Robotics, a provider of autonomous mobile robots for warehouse automation, has achieved CE certification for its largest, most dynamic mobile robot, the Locus Vector.
Locus says this milestone reinforces the company’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence, enabling broader deployments across Europe and other international markets.
Powered by the LocusONE platform, Locus Vector “enhances warehouse productivity, flexibility, and scalability, empowering businesses to automate complex workflows with unmatched efficiency”.
Currently operational at multiple sites, Locus Vector is actively deployed across leading third-party logistics companies and a premier global apparel and footwear retailer in Europe.
With this certification, Locus demonstrates its ability to manage complex multi-step processes, accommodate larger payloads, and seamlessly adapt to a wider range of order dimensions, strengthening its position as a leader in flexible and scalable warehouse automation.
Flexibility and throughput
Powered by the LocusONE platform, Locus Vector complements existing Locus Origin fleets, allowing customers to seamlessly expand their automation capabilities for workflows requiring higher payloads or specialized handling, such as case picking, replenishment and returns.
LocusONE enables real-time fleet optimization and visibility, productivity tracking, and integration with third-party systems like WMS and ERP, allowing incremental expansion and unlimited throughput without infrastructure overhauls.
Locus Vector, combined with Locus Origin, highlights Locus’s advantage in flexible automation over traditional systems like AS/RS and G2P, which struggle with heavier items and orders, complex SKUs, and brownfield applications.
By picking directly from pallets, both Vector and Origin eliminate decanting and reduce labor costs, making it ideal for dynamic, high-throughput environments.
Across industries
Denis Niezgoda, chief commercial officer, International, at Locus Robotics, says: “This CE certification for Locus Vector allows us to bring the benefits of our flexible warehouse automation solution to more customers globally.
“Vector’s exceptional payload capacity, mobility, and seamless integration into LocusONE make it the ideal solution for robust automation in industries like 3PL, retail, and healthcare.
“Customers are already seeing increased flexibility and efficiency by deploying Vector alongside their Locus Origin fleets or standalone.”
Expanding value
Locus Vector enables seamless warehouse process automation across operations. For example, a UK-based 3PL uses Vector for wine distribution, automating bottle picking directly onto mobile pallet dollies.
Meanwhile, a leading retailer in Czechia uses Locus Vector for large-volume replenishment while Origin robots handle picking tasks. The LocusONE platform orchestrates these workflows in real-time, optimizing operations and improving productivity.
With Locus Vector’s CE certification, Locus Robotics continues to advance flexible automation, meeting the growing demand for innovative and high-performing solutions globally.
