In their own words
HaiQ
HaiQ is warehouse software for automated order fulfillment and inventory management. Its Warehouse Execution System interfaces with ERP, WMS, and MES systems and handles inbound, outbound, inventory checks, stock consolidation, and material handling. Configurable strategies include order grouping, order splitting, wave rules, and heat strategies. The Equipment Scheduling System integrates HaiPick, HaiPort, HaiFlex, conveyors, pick-to-light systems, emergency-stop switches, and guard doors, and is described as scheduling more than 1,000 robots. Algorithms cover order allocation, task allocation, path planning, and charging. A Data Platform combines information from WES, the scheduling system, and robots. A Simulation Platform creates a 1:1 virtual warehouse from maps, orders, inventory, and demand configurations. Hai Robotics cites automatic failover, load balancing, data disaster prevention, encrypted robot communications, and capacity for up to 10,000 external requests per second. Pricing is on request; no self-serve trial is shown.
LocusONE
LocusONE coordinates robots, staff, and fulfillment workflows for warehouses and distribution operations. It covers work from collaborative picking to autonomous fulfillment, including returns, sortation, transport, putaway, and replenishment. System Directed Labor assesses operating conditions and assigns priorities and work in real time. LocusHub tracks workforce and robot productivity, workflow performance, and capacity planning. The platform connects to WMS, ERP, WES, and WCS systems through standard APIs; Locus Robotics says its integration network includes more than 65 WMS and ERP platforms. Its Mixed Fleet System coordinates Origin, Vector, and Array robots and balances their assignments. LocusINTELLIGENCE analyzes operations to forecast demand, adjust bot-to-associate ratios, reduce travel, and suggest ways to improve throughput and cost per pick. LocusONE is offered through a subscription-based Robots-as-a-Service model that includes technology, software, support, updates, maintenance, and optimization. Pricing is on request. The company says most deployments go live in 4–6 weeks and need no facility layout changes.
