How APL Logistics Built a More Flexible Fulfillment Operation
As customer requirements grew more complex and labor challenges intensified, APL Logistics needed a way to increase throughput, improve accuracy, and create a stronger foundation for future growth.
By deploying Locus Robotics, APL Logistics transformed warehouse operations with a flexible automation strategy designed to support changing order profiles, tight shipping deadlines, and evolving customer demands. The company first implemented Locus Origin robots to streamline fulfillment workflows, then expanded with Locus Vector robots to support bulk-picking operations and unlock additional capacity.
The results were immediate:
- 122% increase in picking productivity
- Training reduced from days to hours
- 1.5-hour turnaround on emergency orders
- Greater operational visibility and workforce flexibility
- A scalable automation foundation supporting future growth
Today, APL Logistics is expanding its automation strategy beyond the United States and designing future operations around robotic workflows that help the organization scale efficiently as customer demand evolves.
