  -- Leader in Warehouse Robotics Achieves Milestone In Just 94 Days

Locus Robotics (www.locusrobotics.com), the market leader in autonomous mobile

just 94 days after Locus reached their 400M level.

"Reaching our half-billion pick milestone this quickly underscores the critical 
business value that Locus's proven technology brings to our customers around 
the world as they face exploding order volumes and limited labor availability," 
said Rick Faulk, CEO, Locus Robotics." As ecommerce volumes increase, the pace 
of picking with LocusBots is also increasing exponentially. Locus's first 
100-million milestone took 1,542 days while the most recent 100 million picks 
took just 94 days. Locus is proud to have helped our customers efficiently meet 
this challenge while positioning them for success today, and easily-scalable 
growth in the future." 

The 500 millionth pick was made at a VF Corporation Fulfillment Center in 
Prague, Czech Republic and the item picked was a pair of Vans Old Skool Shoes. 

As more shoppers continue to buy online and as businesses prepare for what is 
expected to be a record-breaking holiday season, retailers and fulfillment 
warehouse operators are turning to AMRs to meet growing demand and mitigate 
labor shortages to avoid the risk of losing valuable customers.

"DHL Supply Chain is committed to bringing innovative and 
productivity-enhancing technology to our customers with partners like Locus so 
that they have the capacity and flexibility to capitalize on new opportunities 
in the marketplace," said Adrian Kumar, Vice President, Global Operations 
Science, DHL Supply Chain. "We congratulate Locus on this momentous achievement 
and look forward to continuing to work with Locus to drive productivity, 
support capacity growth, and deliver continuous improvement within our 
customers' supply chains."

LocusBots have now traveled more than 3 million miles in customers' warehouses, 
the equivalent of more than 120 times around the Earth.

"Innovation and an unrelenting drive towards customer success have no doubt 
been drivers in this achievement." Says John Santagate, Vice President of 
Robotics at Korber Supply Chain. "500M picks handled on LocusBots is quite the 
milestone.  Congratulations to the Locus team and here's to the next 500M"
