GXO Logistics and Agility Robotics are expanding their partnership to include two additional U.S. sites for the deployment of Digit robots, starting in early 2027. The new locations are in Statesville, North Carolina, and Lebanon, Tennessee, as announced on October 26. This expansion follows a successful proof-of-concept pilot initiated in late 2023.
This partnership is significant as it demonstrates the practical application of humanoid robots in e-commerce fulfillment, with the aim of enhancing operational efficiency in repetitive material-handling tasks. The existing deployment at GXO's facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia, has already seen Digit handle over 100,000 totes, underscoring the robots' effectiveness in supporting automation.
GXO's deployment of Digit 4 will commence at the new sites, with plans to transition to Digit 5 when it becomes available. However, the announcement did not provide specific details on labor savings, uptime, or return on investment for these new deployments, leaving some metrics unquantified at this stage.
