The Challenge
Radial identified associate travel time as one of the largest sources of waste in its fulfillment operations, with workers spending significant time walking throughout a 470,000-square-foot facility instead of performing value-added tasks. The company also needed a way to support peak-season growth while reducing the burden of onboarding large numbers of new associates.
The Solution
Radial implemented Locus Robotics through a plug-and-play deployment that went from kickoff to live product picking within three months, with no disruption to facility operations. The robots reduced associate travel, accelerated training, improved quality and productivity, enhanced picking accuracy through image verification, and provided managers with real-time visibility into orders, inventory, and robot activity through mobile dashboards.
