ABB Optical, an optical healthcare facility, needed to improve their warehouse productivity, and evaluated several options, including pick-to-light systems and A-frame automatic dispensers.

They chose Locus Robotics for improved efficiency, quick implementation speed, and cost-efficiency.

The Kentucky warehouse was built with input from Locus Robotics to be a Locus-centric facility down to the aisle width that works best with LocusBots. “Locus Robotics has been a great partner as we make changes and their help has been beneficial,” stated Tom Calhoun, Senior Vice President of Operations, ABB Optical.

In the healthcare industry, it’s crucial to capture lot numbers in real time for compliance. With Locus Robotics, ABB Optical tracks that information and ensures that the right item is picked out of the over 160,000 different SKUs they carry.

Before choosing the Locus Solution, ABB Optical had an order accuracy rate of well above 95%. Now, with the LocusBots, the accuracy rate is at 98%.
