Locus Putaway is, in its simplest form, reverse warehouse picking. During
putaway, a warehouse associate takes an item and puts it back into a
bin rather than picking an item out of the bin. Simultaneously pick orders, manage returns, and replenish your warehouse pick space using the same robotic technology.
The LocusOne platform is ideal for handling labor-intensive returns and restocking. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) make the process easier for your warehouse associates by taking away the miles of walking each day lugging heavy carts holding those items for picking and putaway.
Locus improves productivity with task interleaving and better shift management in the warehouse. By eliminating the need for picking and replenishment carts, LocusBots alleviate aisle congestion, increasing efficiency and improving worker safety.
Task interleaving with Locus increases staffing flexibility, minimizing overtime warehouse labor costs and delivering higher productivity for maximum efficiency in the picking and putaway space.
Let workers become cross-trained for multiple roles through task interleaving, dramatically improving their productivity, and enabling them to get more work done throughout the day. Locus eliminates the need for separate picking and putaway teams, or overnight replenishment teams.
Use traffic heat maps to identify and eliminate bottlenecks in your warehouse’s putaway processes.
