Toyota Automated Logistics and Motive's GXC Private Cellular Network Drives Warehouse Automation at Raymond West

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Motive Companies (motivecompanies.com) today announced the deployment of a GXC private cellular network at Raymond West’s 200,000-square-foot corporate headquarters in Cypress, California, providing automation-grade connectivity for the Toyota Automated Logistics ML2 Mini Load AV.

“The ML2 is engineered for demanding warehouse environments. Deployments like this at Raymond West show what’s possible when automation is paired with the right infrastructure,” said Aaron Jones, CEO, Americas, Toyota Automated Logistics.

Raymond West, the West Coast leader in intralogistics solutions, selected the ML2 to transport parts from its stockroom to the shop floor throughout the day—a route that spans the full length of the facility through high-bay racking, steel structures, and heavy equipment. Motive conducted a comprehensive RF propagation study and designed a GXC deployment tailored to the facility’s wireless coverage needs, giving the ML2 the connectivity platform that matches its automation capabilities.

“We chose the ML2 for its capability and Motive’s GXC network for its connectivity. Together, they’re delivering exactly what our operation needs,” said James Wilcox, CEO of Raymond West.

The network is monitored around the clock by Motive Managed Services through its Network Operations Center, providing operational visibility and proactive diagnostics. The deployment also positions Raymond West for growth, with a scalable wireless foundation to support additional Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) as they expand their automation footprint.

“GXC’s private cellular network provides mission-critical connectivity for advanced automation like the ML2,” said Raul Heredia, CTO of Motive Companies. “That’s what we delivered at Raymond West.”

“We already deliver end-to-end energy solutions at Raymond West’s facility—solar, battery energy storage, and EV charging. Now, with GXC’s private cellular network and Motive Managed Services, we have extended that same integrated approach to connectivity,” said Bob Istwan, CEO of Motive Companies. “One partner, one facility, every solution working together.”

The Raymond West deployment is part of Motive’s growing portfolio of private cellular solutions for industrial and commercial international customers. For more information, visit motivecompanies.com and gxc.io.
