Mercado Libre and Agility announced a Digit agreement beginning with a Texas fulfillment facility
Mercado Libre and Agility announced a December 10, 2025 agreement to integrate Digit into a San Antonio fulfillment facility, with additional use cases still exploratory.
Historical reporting: Agility’s dated press index lists the Mercado Libre commercial agreement December 10, 2025. Its March Digit update supplies official platform context. The sources establish a commercial agreement and stated initial facility; they do not establish completed rollout, performance measures at Mercado Libre, expansion across Latin America or a universal logistics result.
Key takeaways
- The agreement named San Antonio as the initial Mercado Libre facility.
- The companies described broader use cases as an exploration, not a completed rollout.
- A commercial agreement is not proof of deployed performance or regional scale.
The agreement named an initial fulfillment setting and left expansion as future work[source 1]
Mercado Libre and Agility announced a commercial agreement on December 10, 2025 to integrate Digit into a facility in San Antonio, Texas. The release says the initial focus would support commerce fulfillment and that the companies planned to explore additional use cases across Mercado Libre warehouses in Latin America. That wording creates a useful status boundary. A commercial agreement and an identified starting facility are evidence of an intended deployment relationship, but they do not prove a completed installation, a completed workcell acceptance or a production result. The source does not provide a start date for routine operation, a robot count, a list of finished tasks or a measured productivity outcome for Mercado Libre.
Fulfillment intent does not disclose a completed operating workflow[source 1]
The parties connect the agreement to repetitive and physically taxing logistics work, and Agility describes Digit in the context of material and tote movement. These statements identify the kind of workflow the companies were considering. They do not specify a cycle-time target, inventory type, human-supervision model, safety zoning or integration acceptance criteria for the San Antonio site. Fulfillment operations have many dependencies: inbound flow, conveyors, warehouse-management systems, exceptions, packing processes and staffing can all shape a robot’s useful role. The release also refers to potential future Latin American work, but “explore” does not establish a scheduled rollout or a deployed machine. The event is an agreement announcement with an initial location, not an operating-results report.
Earlier Digit feature updates provide platform context rather than Mercado Libre proof[source 1][source 2]
Agility’s March 2025 Digit update describes battery, charging, safety and integration features, including Agility Arc connections to autonomous mobile robots and enterprise systems. That record helps explain the platform the company planned to deploy, but it does not establish that Mercado Libre adopted every feature or achieved a particular benefit from any of them. Platform capability announcements and a later customer agreement are separate evidence types. They should not be combined into a claim that the customer already had a fully integrated fleet. The sources do not disclose a test report from Mercado Libre, a software-interface configuration or a safety assessment for the named facility.
Commercial agreement, physical installation and operating performance are separate milestones[source 1][source 2]
The primary records support the limited conclusion that Mercado Libre and Agility announced a commercial relationship with San Antonio as the initial stated setting. They do not report completed regional expansion, a customer fleet size, financial return, injury reduction, throughput gain or incident history. They also do not establish that Digit replaces people or existing automation across a warehouse. A commercial agreement can be an important step toward deployment while technical integration, workplace review and performance validation remain ahead. The archive preserves that distinction so later installation or operating results can be dated and assessed on their own evidence instead of being folded into the December agreement.
