"Order cycle time at MyPillow is now 50% quicker than it was before Locus Robotics."
How a fast-growing retailer replaced manual picking with scalable automation and saw immediate gains.
MyPillow’s rapid SKU expansion pushed its manual, paper-based process to the limit. After surpassing 3,000 SKUs, the operations team sought a solution that could lift throughput, reduce physical strain, and help associates work more efficiently. Locus Robotics implemented 33 AMRs inside the Shakopee, MN facility, giving the team a flexible system without fixed infrastructure and a dramatically simpler workflow.
The impact was immediate. Units per hour jumped from 119 to 210, order cycle times became 50% faster, and new associates now learn the process in a quick 30-minute session instead of a half-day. Employees enjoy the easier workflow so much that many volunteer to pick with the bots.
