DHL Supply Chain, the contract logistics leader withinDeutsche Post DHL Group, announces a framework agreement expandingits collaboration with Locus Robotics. Initial investments inassisted picking robots have proven effective in commerciallyscaled operations, and this multi-million dollar agreement willenhance DHL's wider Accelerated Digitalization Strategy. By 2022,the supply chain specialist plans to take on up to 2,000 robots,then being by far the largest customer of Locus Robotics worldwide.The assisted picking robots are mostly used in e-commerce orconsumer warehouses to help with picking and inventoryreplenishment, thereby increasing efficiency and acceleratingdelivery processes.
"It is particularly important for us to be able toconsistently optimize our supply chains - assisted picking robotsare very effective in this respect," says Markus Voss, Global CIO &COO DHL Supply Chain. "So far, more than 500 assisted pickingrobots are already in industrial use in our warehouses in the USA,Europe and the UK. By the end of 2021, another 500 robots are to beadded in a total of more than 20 locations. The collaborativepicking technology has clearly proven its effectiveness andreliability in modern warehousing. More locations have already beenidentified with concrete implementation roadmaps for the remainingrobots, which we will deploy in 2022. However, the overallpotential for assisted picking robots in our DHL warehouses is muchbigger, so we are confident that we will meet the targets we haveset ourselves together with Locus Robotics".
