DHL Supply Chain has announced a 5,000-unit autonomous mobile robot (AMR) rollout across its Americas and European warehouse networks, working with Locus Robotics and Geek+ — one of the largest single AMR commitments to date. The deal underscores how fulfillment has become the most capital-intensive corner of industrial automation.
M&A is heating up alongside it: Skild AI acquired Zebra Technologies' robotics arm in April, and Meta absorbed Assured Robot Intelligence in May.
For operators weighing warehouse automation, large deployments like DHL's help validate AMR reliability at scale and tend to push component costs down over time. Browse vetted suppliers on our warehouse robot category page to shortlist by payload, navigation, and integration support.
