class=\"content-blog-news-post-content\">\n                <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you work in an industry like retail, the holiday season may make you feel more \u201cBlah blah blah\u201d instead of \u201cFa la la\u201d thanks to the volume increase of orders, known as \u201cpeak\u201d. According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/press-release\/20220908-survey-expect-a-tough-peak-season-amid-delays-inflation-and-labor-concer-1\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supply Chain Dive survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, three out of five (59%) survey respondents expect their peak season to be challenging.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For warehouses and third-party logistics (3PL) providers, peak season isn\u2019t just the holidays. Other peak times are back to school shopping over the summer, pool and garden supplies in the spring, and more.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think back to the last peak season at your warehouse. Was it challenging, or did you have the right technologies and team in place to survive and thrive? If you want to do better for the next peak, here\u2019s what successful warehouses and 3PLs do to handle their peak season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Start Planning for Peak Early<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some warehouses and 3PLs, the time to start prep for peak is right after the last peak ends. Even if you didn\u2019t do that, there\u2019s still time for you to plan now for this year\u2019s peak season. Steve Simmerman, Head of Global Alliances at Locus Robotics, says, \u201cWarehouses should get a jump start on peak planning the earlier the better to avoid last-minute disruptions that could impact your ability to properly serve your customers and meet your SLAs.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way to do so, says Simmerman, is to take a look at your past warehouse peak seasons from an historical perspective. Some questions to ask yourself include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How has your peak season changed over the past few seasons?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have order volumes changed?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What macro-level changes has your organization undergone prior to peak season and how do these changes affect your planning?\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you had significant layout changes to your distribution center or warehouse? If so, what impact will those changes have on your peak planning?\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have a plan in place, spread the word! Communication is key to success. Make sure that your associates, supervisors, managers, and customers (for 3PL providers and distribution centers) all understand your overall plan for peak season. This way, you\u2019ll set expectations early in order to alleviate any concerns, which will go a long way towards helping you succeed as a team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Hire More Workers<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To succeed as a team, you may need more bodies. It makes sense that when you have more orders coming in, you need more people to fulfill those orders in a timely manner. \u201cThe best approach for peak season,\u201d says JP Lichtenberg, Warehouse Design Engineer at Locus Robotics, \u201cis to aim to over-staff slightly, as this will ensure you can fulfill all orders that drop in.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lichtenberg provides these ways to approach staffing-up for the peak season:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonus incentives for full-time employees aimed at encouraging improved performance and attendance<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily\/weekly throughput targets with bonuses, gift raffles, and free meals\/snacks to encourage a team-building atmosphere<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incentives for temps to want to sign up for a short-term role to help with spikes in business<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simple things like \u201cPeak 2023 team\u201d shirts\/pull-overs to further emphasize the appreciation for team members helping during the busy season<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One incentive for temps or full-time employees to work at your facility could be the ability to work with robots. Our customers find that employees enjoy working with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) like LocusBots due to the cool technology and less worker fatigue. For associates that work with LocusBots, the bots do the majority of the walking, so associates don\u2019t have to walk up to 12 to 14 miles a day in the warehouse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Reduce Training Time<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you bring on temp associates for peak, they will need to be trained. But training isn\u2019t just for new associates. Warehouse managers should assess how many people on the team have been through peak before. Simmerman notes, \u201cPay particular attention to those new people in your organization that have not been through peak before and take the time to educate and train them.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training is necessary to ensure processes are followed, but it can take away from valuable, productive picking time with training requiring a week or more. Companies that have brought on autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/locusrobotics.com\/products\/locus-origin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locus Origin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, have seen a reduction in training time from over a week to just minutes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One customer stated that, with Locus Robotics, \u201cwe have seen a reduction in training time by 80%. This is especially helpful for peak season, when we can train our warehouse associates faster and make sure they\u2019re productive faster.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another customer noted that \u201cduring peak seasons, when we're bringing in a lot of associates, we can train them a lot faster with the Locus solution. So we don't have to bring them in and have them sit in a classroom and then come out onto the warehouse floor and have them take forever to learn. Instead, the new associates can just walk around with somebody, pick it up, and they see the robots. The user interface is technology they've used before, and they catch on very quickly.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><b>Improve Your Worker Productivity<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you bring on AMRs, you double the productivity of your associates year-round and during peak seasons. How? One customer noted, \u201cLocusBots double and almost triple our worker productivity. An employee might be typically able to handle 100 orders an hour using traditional picking methods. But when that employee works with LocusBots, they\u2019re able to do 200 to 250 orders an hour.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Add More LocusBots to Your Fleet<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/locusrobotics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peak-Season-Infographic-2022-6.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15020 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/locusrobotics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peak-Season-Infographic-2022-124x300.png\" alt=\"Locus Robotics picks over 230 million units for Peak Week 2022!\" width=\"124\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>If you already have a fleet of LocusBots at your facility, you can easily add additional bots during peak season with the Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model. One of our customers said that adding additional bots during peak time or when new customers have come on has been very straightforward. They stated, \u201cwhen the bots are delivered, Locus Robotics has preconfigured them to the account they\u2019re working with, or if it\u2019s a multi-account pool, to the pool of bots. Once they\u2019re here, the bots just go into the flow on their own. There is very little, if any, bot-level configuration required on site. We\u2019ve been pleasantly surprised how quickly we can get additional bots deployed when we have unexpected spikes in our ecommerce business.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t already have a fleet of LocusBots at your facility, there\u2019s no time like the present. LocusBots assisted with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/locusrobotics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peak-Season-Infographic-2022-6.png\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">230+ million units picked<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the recent holiday peak season (see infographic at right), with a daily average of 3.3 million picked in 2022. Our customers are hitting their numbers and SLAs, increasing warehouse associate productivity, and improving their order accuracy by bringing the Locus Solution on board.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locus Robotics can help your warehouse, distribution center, or 3PL make this peak season one for the record books by reducing training time, doubling worker productivity, attracting temporary associates, and getting your plan set early.
