Monroe, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/24/2014 -- The October 13th issue of No Risk Automation, a monthly e-news publication, explored the maintenance costs of AGVs. The AGV maintenance costs creep up; 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.
This month’s newsletter also discussed the differences between automation at the DC versus manufacturing plant floor. In both environments automation is simply used to move product from place to place safely and in an efficient manner. The real difference between the two is in the number of applications and the complexity of those applications. The real winner for automation is manufacturing, due to the sheer number of movements of product and the ease with which transportation can occur.
