Locus Robotics to Lead Session on Disruption in Warehouse Fulfillment at Home Delivery World Expo 2018 in Atlanta, GA
CMO Karen Leavitt will discuss the supply chain economics driving technology adoption in the warehouse and secrets to fulfillment success
WILMINGTON, Mass., April 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Locus Robotics (www.locusrobotics.com), the award-winning autonomous warehouse robotics company, announced that the Company's chief marketing officer, Karen Leavitt, will be speaking at the Home Delivery World Expo 2018 today, Thursday, April 19th at 12:30 PM. The expo is being hosted at the AmericasMart Center in Atlanta, GA.
Karen Leavitt, CMO, will be leading a session entitled, "4 Keys to Warehouse Fulfillment Success". Her presentation will discuss transformation in the supply chain, and the economic benefits of implementing technology - including collaborative robotics - for third party logistics providers and retailers looking to maximize productivity, solve for labor shortages, and efficiently manage seasonally fluctuating order volumes.
"Our robots are cool, but cool doesn't pay the bills in the warehouse," said Karen Leavitt. "Our customers seek innovation not for technology's sake, but because they have an urgent need to solve real-world problems."
"We're seeing that technology in the space is rapidly maturing and has already proved its worth to customers in the form of business productivity," said John Santagate, Research Director, Service Robotics at IDC. "Customers no longer see technology as an end in itself but insist on - and are seeing - measurable economic benefits."
Leavitt has over twenty years of experience in the technology industry, developing innovative, creative and effective marketing programs for a wide range of companies, from start-ups to Fortune 10000 public companies. She also serves as the dynamic and articulate corporate spokesperson for Locus, before press, analysts, customers, partners and investors.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
