A documented starting point
On June 27, 2024, GXO announced a multi-year agreement with Agility Robotics following a late-2023 pilot. GXO described Digit moving totes from other robots onto conveyors at its SPANX facility, with workflows managed through Agility Arc. This is a customer’s account of a commercial deployment.

Watch with a specific question in mind
GXO’s announcement links to the video below. While watching, follow one tote from pickup to placement. Consider how the robot’s work fits the equipment around it and which parts of a shift remain outside the visible footage.

What a shift-level answer would require
For this story, we would evaluate a shift as a complete operating period with a specified task and workload. Charging, planned breaks, maintenance, exceptions, and operator assistance all belong in that record.
| Question | Evidence to seek |
|---|---|
| Does it sustain useful output? | Completed transfers per operating hour, including delays. |
| How much help does it need? | Interventions and operator minutes across the full period. |
| What happens during a failure? | Recovery process, time, and effect on surrounding work. |
| Does the result generalize? | Performance across object variation, layouts, and repeated shifts. |
| Does the operation benefit? | Customer-defined goals and total deployment cost. |
The present answer
The cited announcement documents a defined application at a named customer operation. It does not provide a complete shift dataset with intervention frequency and total operating cost. On that evidence alone, a quantitative answer about full-shift performance remains open.
This page will accumulate dated evidence rather than replace earlier claims without explanation. Future entries should identify the site, task, operating period, and source, then explain what changed in the assessment.
