KSP Fulfillment Partners with Peak Technologies and Locus Robotics to Deploy AMRs in Brooklyn Park, MN Site

KSP Fulfillment, a prominent third-party logistics provider, has partnered with Peak Technologies, known for its digital supply chain and mobile workforce solutions, and Locus Robotics, a leader in autonomous mobile robot solutions for fulfillment warehouses. KSP has implemented 60 of Locus's advanced and award-winning autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in its Brooklyn Park, Minnesota warehouse, with operations starting in August 2024.

"Locus's cutting-edge robotics are revolutionizing warehouse fulfillment and distribution," said Josh Haynes, Senior Vice President and General Manager at KSP Fulfillment. "By augmenting our human workforce with LocusBots, we will unlock transformative gains in throughput, efficiency, and worker ergonomics – all while strengthening our commitment to world-class service for our customers."

“As a solutions partner to KSP Fulfillment we are excited to integrate the Locus AMRs into their warehouse operations,” said Tony Rivers, President & CEO of Peak Technologies. “Peak is thrilled to help streamline the order fulfillment process and drive further innovation for KSP Fulfillment.”

Peak Technologies played a crucial role in integrating the Locus solution into KSP Fulfillment’s warehouse systems and visualizing the process. The LocusBots will collaborate with workers to pick and transport inventory and orders throughout KSP's 225,000-square-foot fulfillment center, enhancing picking and replenishing operations to address increasing customer demand.

During the upcoming fall peak season, KSP plans to leverage Locus's scalability by adding an additional 50 seasonal LocusBots to accommodate anticipated demand.

"We are thrilled to welcome KSP Fulfillment to the Locus family," said Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics. "Our proven, flexible robotics automation solution will help KSP to drive productivity and efficiency to new heights, seamlessly growing as they scale their operations."

This deployment follows Locus's recent achievement of surpassing 3 billion picks by its robots across global customer deployments. This milestone highlights the widespread adoption of Locus Robotics' innovative autonomous mobile robot (AMR) technology across multiple industries, including retail, third-party logistics (3PL), healthcare, and manufacturing. It also reflects the confidence of over 150 customers in Locus's ability to provide seamless flexibility in handling increased order volumes, delivering significant cost savings in warehouses, and enhancing workplace safety and worker ergonomics.
