nGroup Performance Partners, a leading 3PL provider, tackled inefficiencies in their 1 million-square-foot warehouse in Franklin, IN, where employees manually moved heavy carts across large distances to handle returns. To address physical strain, productivity loss, and safety risks, nGroup adopted Locus Robotics’ autonomous mobile robots (LocusBots), which integrated seamlessly with the Optoro platform for optimized returns processing.
Key Takeaways:
- 229% Productivity Increase: LocusBots enabled nGroup to go from 124 to 285 lines per hour, achieving close to 1 million units put away monthly.
- Enhanced Accuracy: Improved transaction accuracy and reduced errors.
- Improved Safety: Over a year without an OSHA-reportable incident.
- Higher Employee Satisfaction: Reduced physical strain, boosting morale.
- Seamless Integration: The partnership required minimal downtime, described as a “home run” by nGroup's COO.
