Seegrid AGVs Flexible Automation Profiled in Modern Materials Handling
Pittsburgh, PA, September 20, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Seegrid Corporation, global leader of robotic automated guided vehicles (AGVs), was profiled in Modern Materials Handling magazine. According to Josh Bond, Modern Materials Handling Associate Editor, “As software interfaces and vehicle components improve, users of automatic guided vehicles are becoming less reliant on others to use and maintain their own fleets. The adoption of automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) in the last few decades has been characterized by the good and bad aspects of automation, but advances in recent years have allowed AGV technologies to break free of conventional wisdom about their drawbacks and potential applications.”
Jeff Christensen, director of product development for Seegrid, commented, “Customers want to be able to change their mind almost entirely from day to day. If they want to make an adjustment, they don’t want ten consultants to come out and have it result in a big bill.”
Christensen offers the example of a customer whose AGV system shared a handful of intersections with an automated cart system from a different supplier. “In the past, there were these meetings of two proprietary systems that can’t talk to one another and work on routes established five years ago. Some customers found themselves painted into a corner,” noted Christensen.
