Work In Progress Goods
One task in a manufacturing process is moving work in progress goods from one working cell to another. This is typically done by conveyor systems, manually driven tuggers with a train of carts or manual pallet jacks. All these solutions require labor or expensive transport systems. Robotic lift trucks can provide multiple solutions to these…
Empty Pallet Removal
Within a manufacturing cell, pallets containing materials come in, and empty pallets need to be returned. These pallets can contain anything from packaging material, work in progress goods, or raw materials. Once the product is used up, and more is required, empty pallets need to be removed, or stored for future disposal. Robotic lift trucks…
End of Aisle to Outbound Staging
Inside a warehouse, material needs to be removed from racking and be brought to some form of outbound staging areas. This is done with reach trucks not only taking pallets from height but then doing long distance horizontal transport or reach trucks placing product in a local staging area where another manual operator does the…
What is the difference between an AGV and an AMR?
If you’ve been investigating robotic material handling equipment you inevitably have come across the terms AMR and AGV. So what is the difference? Although some may unknowingly use the terms interchangeably, there is a significant difference between the two types of vehicles. An AGV is a robotic vehicle that must follow a discrete path, from…
