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: no more lugging heavy manual carts, and far fewer miles of walking each day.
Locus enhances warehouse putaway productivity with task interleaving and better shift management in the warehouse. By eliminating the need for separate carts to handle picking and replenishment, Locus robots reduce aisle congestion, improving throughput and worker safety.
Task interleaving with LocusONE adds flexibility for staffing, minimizing overtime warehouse labor costs and delivering higher productivity for maximum efficiency in the picking and putaway space.
Cross-train workers for multiple roles with task interleaving, dramatically improving their productivity. 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.
