[DHL](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dhl-and-subject) Supply Chain extends its warehouse functions with the latest collaboration alongside Locus Robotics. Continuing to digitalize the methods behind the scenes, -- this starts the motion of implementing up to 2,000 [artificially intelligent robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doosan-robotics) at a global scale. The robots will be integral to the company's operation and will be mostly used for e-commerce functions. It assists with [picking and inventory replenishment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotics-fulfillment-platform), which results in higher efficiency and speeds up the delivery process.

Robots can also help save time by eliminating the maneuvering pushcarts in warehouses, lower physical strain for employees on-site, and optimize performance at a larger scale. Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics states, “Our expanded partnership with DHL reflects the increasing demand for warehouse digitalization worldwide to meet today’s exploding fulfillment challenges, [...] Locus is proud to be a valued technology resource that is helping DHL realize their strategic vision of digital transformation.”
