No Risk Automation Newsletter Issue Number 6 Will Explore the Best Time to Adopt AGVs
Monroe, NC, September 19, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The sixth issue of “No Risk Automation” (a monthly e-newsletter) due out October 13th, will explore the question many operation managers of manufacturing plant floors and distribution centers (DCs) ask. Is it time for the current AGV (automated guided vehicle) system to be replaced? There are certain instigating factors that drive AGV replacement. When the current AGV system no longer meets production requirements and cannot be expanded without substantial cost and complexity, it may tip the scale towards replacement.
Next month’s issue also discusses creeping AGV maintenance costs. The AGV maintenance costs increase; they are sneaky and come on fast. These added maintenance costs are not always the fault of the manufacturer or the equipment. Many times it is a lack of sufficient preventive maintenance. No matter what the cause, these unforeseen and unbudgeted costs always show up as the equipment ages and peaks in about three to five years when the batteries need replacement.
