WILMINGTON, MA – March 24, 2026 – Locus Robotics, the leader in Flexibility-First Warehouse Automation, announced it has been named a winner in the 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards, in the category of Supply Chain & Logistics. Presented by the Business Intelligence Group, the award recognizes organizations, products, teams, and individuals that are applying artificial intelligence in ways that drive real, measurable impact.
The 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards honor achievement across a broad range of industries and use cases, spotlighting the companies and leaders moving AI beyond experimentation and into practical, accountable deployment. This year’s program recognized winners across 36 industries and more than 15 countries.
Locus Robotics was recognized for its LocusONE™ intelligent orchestration platform and the introduction of Locus Array, applying physical AI and vision-guided autonomy to coordinate robots, human labor, and workflows in real time across complex warehouse operations. Through this work, the company has enabled warehouses to operate as self-optimizing systems that adapt to shifting volumes, labor variability, and changing order profiles while improving fulfillment speed, accuracy, and operational reliability at scale.
“AI has arrived! 2026 is about execution, accountability, and results,” said Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer, Business Intelligence Group. “Locus Robotics stood out because its work in supply chain and logistics reflects where the market is headed: practical AI that solves real problems, earns trust, and delivers measurable value. This recognition highlights a team that is not just participating in the AI shift but helping define what meaningful progress looks like.”
“We are honored to be recognized in the 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards for our work in supply chain and logistics,” said Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics. “This award reflects the talent of our team, the trust of our customers, and our commitment to building AI solutions that create real outcomes, not just headlines. In an industry defined by constant change, this means helping our customers operate with confidence, not uncertainty. We believe the future of AI belongs to organizations that can pair innovation with responsibility, and we are proud to be part of that movement.”
The Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards celebrate the people and organizations leading the next phase of AI adoption, where innovation is judged not just by novelty, but by impact. Winners are selected based on how effectively they are using AI to improve performance, reduce friction, solve meaningful problems, and move their industries forward.
