No Risk Automation Magazine Explores Criteria in AGV Selection

 

Monroe, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/27/2014 -- The August 25th issue of No Risk Automation, a weekly e-news publication, explored variables or criteria that must be considered when thinking about automation. Load type is one such variable, particularly with AGV (automated guided vehicle) selection. This might include pallets, rolls, cases, containers, bales, or something else. This should be one of the first considerations asked in the selection process. Another consideration is load weight, which is usually defined in categories.

This week’s No Risk Automation newsletter also discussed the many applications of AGVs which are technically feasible. The purchase and implementation of such systems are usually based on economic considerations. The uses of AGVs can be divided into four main areas of application: 1) supply and disposal at storage and production areas, 2) production-integrated application of AGV trucks as assembly platforms, 3) retrieval, especially in wholesale trade, and 4) supply and disposal in special areas, such as hospitals and offices.
