Seegrid Sees Shifts in the Dynamic State of Materials Handling Automation
Pittsburgh, PA, May 17, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Automation continues to be the solution of choice for companies looking to boost profitability and competitiveness. Amanda Merrell, Seegrid’s Marketing Director, explained that automation solutions, like automated guided vehicles (AGVs), help address the greatest challenges materials handling businesses experience every day. Merrell discussed how materials handling automation solutions are becoming more flexible and affordable in the current company blog, “We are seeing a shift from manned forklifts to automated forklifts by companies large and small, in both manufacturing and distribution. AGVs drive down costs normally incurred by high labor wages, medical costs, training expenses, as well as expenditures suffered from facility, equipment, and unsaleable product damage due to manned forklifts.”
AGVs deliver productivity and efficiency gains by moving materials quickly and reliably with high accuracy. In order to boost productivity and efficiency, it is vital to identify waste and non-value-added functions. In many manufacturing operations, AGV tuggers are an excellent solution alternative to manned forklifts because tuggers can transport just the right amount of product for Just-In-Time delivery, keeping inventory low, and aisles free from excess product. AGVs help distribution facilities become leaner by eliminating the wasteful processes such as long haul transport by forklifts and improve productivity with increased dock-to-stock speed and putaway gains.
Merrell joined the Seegrid team in 2010 after graduating from Utah State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism and Communications with an emphasis in public relations. Merrell oversees marketing, communications, and public relations initiatives, bringing a fresh and unique spin on marketing material handling equipment.
