GXO is taking Agility’s Digit into North Carolina and Tennessee

DC Velocity reported on 26 October 2026 that GXO will add Agility’s Digit humanoid at distribution centers in North Carolina and Tennessee. The earlier deployment, at a Flowery Branch, Georgia building handling Spanx inventory, has moved more than 100,000 totes, according to GXO.

The expanded work is e-commerce fulfillment at Statesville and Lebanon, on repetitive material-handling tasks. Deployments are expected in early 2027 on Digit 4, then Digit 5 when it is commercially available. Agility’s RoboFab plant in Salem, Oregon, is described as a 70,000-square-foot factory with a stated capacity of up to 10,000 robots a year.

A humanoid on a tote line does not retire the conveyor, the photoeye, or the person who clears a jam. It adds one more machine the crew has to recognize when the lane stops.
