“Having seen Locus Robotics used at another facility, it was a no-brainer to bring Locus here since we'd seen it used on an even larger scale.”
Amware Fullfilment
Overview & Challenge
Amware Fulfillment specializes in high volume, ecommerce fulfillment services. Their nationwide fulfillment warehouse network of 18 3PL fulfillment centers across the U.S. minimizes costly, high-zone moves and gets product moving to customers faster. Amware is part of Staci Group, Europe’s leading multi-channel fulfillment provider. Staci’s 78-facility fulfillment network extends across the U.S. and 7 European countries.
Their Lawrenceville, GA facility focuses on fulfillment for consumer goods products, including tumblers, glassware, coolers, and vacuum-sealed bottles. The facility has a very large footprint due to the products they carry, and associates would walk roughly four to five miles each day in the warehouse pulling heavy carts that could hold anywhere from 30 to 100 pounds of product.
Order picking accuracy was also top of mind for Amware, with 3,000 different products stored in the facility and an additional 8,000 to 10,000 variations of those products due to colors and branding.
When Amware was looking for an automation solution, they wanted one that would require little to no CapEx investment and be flexible and adaptable. Austin Feagins, Senior Director of Customer Solutions at Amware Fulfillment, had previously worked at a facility that had the best solution for them.
