Go! Retail uses LocusBots for both picking and putaway, after learning that the bots were dual-purpose. Larivee says, “We have the bots do both picking and putaway. They deliver empty totes for picking and full cases. With our previous system where we used push carts and hand scanners, putaway could take three to five hours. Now that we use Locus for putaway, our daily restock has sped up by about 40% in one day.”
