WILMINGTON, Mass., December 5, 2024 - Locus Robotics, the market leader in warehouse automation, today announced that its valued customer, GEODIS, a leading global logistics provider, has surpassed 10 million units picked using Locus's powerful warehouse automation solution at its Carlisle, Pa., distribution center.

This milestone achievement further demonstrates the transformative impact of Locus warehouse automation technology on productivity, operational efficiency, and unmatched flexibility at an unprecedented scale.

"As a trusted collaborator for more than six years, GEODIS is setting new standards for speed and efficiency within its facilities," said Rick Faulk, CEO, Locus Robotics.
