No Risk Automation Magazine Recommends Manufacturers Consider All Cost Factors for AGV Purchase

Monroe, NC, September 24, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The September 15th issue of No Risk Automation, an important e-news publication, recommended that all costs need to be considered when adopting automated guided vehicles (AGVs). It is critical that manufacturers and distribution center (DC) managers make an informed decision on return on investment (ROI). Costs can be evaluated in a myriad of ways. Cost avoidance must also be considered. Often, increases in mobile equipment accidents typically bring increases in the cost of Workers Compensation and Lost Time and production. There are often increases in operational requirements, which are best handled with a fixed one-time cost versus adding increasing recurring labor costs.
