Locus Robotics Enhances Boulanger's Warehouse Efficiency in France

Apr 18, 2025
Locus Robotics has successfully implemented its LocusOne platform at Boulanger, doubling the retailer's warehouse productivity in France.

Locus Robotics has successfully deployed its LocusOne platform at Boulanger, a leading French consumer electronics retailer, doubling the company's warehouse productivity in France. In a press release, Locus Robotics announced that the deployment at Boulanger's central Hénin-Beaumont warehouse resulted in a significant increase in efficiency, with picking productivity rising from 120 to over 250 units per hour within six weeks.

The implementation, completed in under four months, integrates seamlessly with Boulanger's existing warehouse management systems and material handling equipment, allowing for smooth operations without disrupting established workflows. This deployment has enabled Boulanger to efficiently manage and distribute stock to over 200 stores across France, processing nearly 9 million units in under a year.

Boulanger's warehouse associates have quickly adapted to working alongside Locus's autonomous mobile robots, enhancing workforce efficiency and safety. The deployment also demonstrated dynamic scalability, with Locus expanding its fleet by 30% within days to meet a sudden surge in demand, showcasing the flexibility and agility of the LocusOne platform.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
