GXO and Agility Robotics announced a multi-year deployment agreement on 27 June 2024. Digit operates under a Robots-as-a-Service model at a SPANX facility, following a 2023 proof of concept and integration with other robotic systems.
A clear input and output make the task easier to evaluate. Beyond lifting a tote, the system needs to know when it is ready, where it belongs and how a failed transfer reaches an operator.
Pilot one bin size and one transfer route between picking and a conveyor. Measure waiting time, throughput and human interventions alongside total operating cost. Compare a humanoid with a conveyor or AMR transfer station, and confirm supply and support for the intended location.
