Locus Robotics, the market leader in autonomous mobile robots (AMR) for fulfillment warehouses, announced a new implementation with GEODIS, a leading global logistics provider, to bring high performance, next-generation robotics automation to Mexico to fulfill ecommerce and retail orders for a major global apparel brand.
The new site, GEODIS’ first in Latin America to feature Locus Robotics technology, is located in Cuautitlan Izcalli, Mexico and features a fleet of Locus’s award-winning Origin bots operating across all levels of a three-level mezzanine structure, efficiently controlled by the innovative LocusOne warehouse execution platform. LocusOne enables efficient pick-and-pass, multi-level functionality while delivering real-time operational visibility and management insights to ensure high productivity and a fast ROI.
“We are thrilled to work with GEODIS to bring the power of Locus’s warehouse automation to Mexico,” said Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics. “This deployment represents a significant expansion of our footprint into Latin America and enables us to support GEODIS in setting the new benchmark for ecommerce fulfillment efficiency in the region.”

In August 2022, GEODIS announced a new expansion agreement to deploy a total of 1,000 LocusBots at GEODIS’ worldwide warehouse locations over the next 24 months. The announcement represented one of the industry’s largest AMR deals to date.
