Agility Robotics Reports Expanded GXO Deployment and New Manufacturing Customers for Digit
SUMMARY
Agility Robotics said on 26 October 2026 that demand for its Digit humanoid is growing. The company reported an expanded relationship with GXO, three additional manufacturing customers and a pipeline of more than 30 prospective customers. CEO Peggy Johnson was due to discuss the progress on an investor call the same day.
GXO announced a commercial agreement to deploy Digit at two more U.S. facilities, in Statesville, North Carolina, and Lebanon, Tennessee. Agility says deployments are expected to begin in early 2027 using Digit 4, with a transition to Digit 5 planned as it becomes commercially available. The company says Digit has moved more than 100,000 totes at GXO's Georgia facility under a multi-year agreement that began in June 2024.
The three new manufacturing customers are unnamed: a major global automaker, a developer of automotive technology and components, and a global consumer products manufacturer. Agility says all three are in paid programmes focused on specific manufacturing needs. It also lists AGCO, which plans a Digit pilot in Hesston, Kansas, expected to begin in 2027, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, Schaeffler and Mercado Libre. The more than 30 prospective customers are in active commercial discussions or in its Customer Acceleration Program, which lets them evaluate Digit against specific operational requirements. Among them are two potential subcontractor engagements supporting a branch of the U.S. Armed Services. Agility describes these discussions as early, with no agreements signed.
On Digit 5, Agility says it has previously disclosed more than $300 million in committed multi-year orders, which it describes as potential value subject to contractual milestones and not current-period revenue. Early customer access is expected in the first half of 2027, with general availability targeted for the end of 2027.
