Whitepaper on Forklift Free Material Handling Environments Released by Seegrid

Pittsburgh, PA, May 31, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Seegrid, makers of robotic automated guided vehicles (AGVs), announced the release of a new whitepaper available for industry leaders. The whitepaper, entitled, “Forklift-Free: Driving Safety and Profitability,” explores forklift-free initiatives for materials handling companies.

Safety is driving momentum for forklift-free environments. Although training and legislation are instrumental in managing some degree of risks associated with forklifts, statistics reveal numerous accidents occur every year, providing reason for greater acceptance of forklift-free environments. This motivation towards forklift-free leads the way to adopting a more efficient form of transport–automated guided vehicles (AGVs)–favorably driving benefits beyond safety and profitability.

The whitepaper explains how implementing a forklift-free environment for material flow and movement can protect the workplace from employee injuries and deaths, boost lean efficiency, and drive cost reduction.

The thought-provoking whitepaper reveals data and analysis regarding employee injuries and deaths, cost burdens associated with forklift accidents and citations, as well as high labor wages, expensive training programs, and scarce labor availability. Additional topics addressed in the whitepaper include manufacturers' unsaleable rates, lean alternative for manned forklift transport, and continuous process improvement strategies.
