WAREHOUSE AUTOMATION

How LVS is doing

Since implementing the AMRs, LVS has seen improvements in efficiency, productivity, and employee health and safety.

With the new system, warehouse associates’ training needs have been significantly reduced, as has the amount of walking distance those employees have to cover. According to LVS, it’s seen an up to 50% decrease in walking distance for its employees.

“We are experiencing record growth in both our consumer and professional pet-care e-commerce segments while navigating unprecedented and unpredictable labor challenges,” said Tammy Schmidt, VP/COO, Lambert Veterinary Supply. “Being able to seamlessly integrate and ramp up and down, the Robots as a Service provides us with the needed flexibility and scalability to meet our growing e-commerce customer demand while maintaining a smaller dependable team of warehouse associates and reducing onboarding of new warehouse associates to minutes from weeks.”

Altogether, implementing Locus’ AMRs from Körber resulted in minimized exhaustion, stress, and risk of injury from activities, such as loading and pushing carts for warehouse associates, and increased productivity.
