Locus Unveils Array at ProMat, the First Fully Robotic Fulfillment System

Locus Robotics has introduced Locus Array, the first AI-driven, fully automated order fulfillment system designed to significantly reduce labor dependency and improve efficiency in warehouses. Unveiled at ProMat 2025 in Chicago, Array is built to eliminate 90% of manual labor, tackling one of the biggest challenges in supply chain management while lowering fulfillment costs.

Zero-Touch Fulfillment Locus Array eliminates manual work in order fulfillment, making operations faster, more accurate, and more cost-effective. It combines AI-powered automation, double-deep tote storage, and seamless integration with Locus Robotics’ existing technology to help warehouses optimize efficiency.

“This has been the idea of our founder since we launched,” said Locus Robotics CEO Rick Faulk. “It’s always been the holy grail for us.”

Designed for rapid deployment, Array can be implemented within weeks—rather than months or years—minimizing downtime and infrastructure costs. It operates 24/7, handling 100% of SKUs with high-speed picking and an ultra-low cost per pick.

“Our goal is to empty the parking lots of all warehouses around the world,” Faulk added, emphasizing the broader impact of automation on warehouse labor demand. “We’ve noticed that everyone is dealing with the same problem – they can’t find labor. With Array, we’ve solved this.”

Flexible, Scalable, and Connected Array is fully integrated with LocusONE, the company’s warehouse orchestration platform, allowing it to work seamlessly alongside Locus Origin and Locus Vector robots for complete end-to-end automation. The system is designed to be flexible and scalable, making it an attractive solution for companies looking to improve their fulfillment operations without overhauling existing infrastructure.

“This is part of a new category—robots-to-goods—where it’s zero-touch by humans,” Faulk explained. “We think this will continue to grow, and we’re at the ground floor.”

Locus Array has been in development for three years. Fully operational pilot programs will launch by summer 2025, and customers will have limited availability in early 2026.

Driving the Future of Warehouse Automation Founded in 2014, Locus Robotics has become a leader in autonomous warehouse robotics. It specializes in AI-driven fulfillment solutions that improve efficiency and reduce labor dependency. Its robotic fleet—including Locus Origin and Locus Vector—is widely used in retail, third-party logistics (3PL), and e-commerce distribution centers.

“I am really excited,” said Kait Peterson, VP of Product Marketing at Locus. “We’ve been working on this in stealth mode for a while, and we’re excited to bring it to our customers. It’s really cool.”
