Pittsburgh, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/07/2014 -- Seegrid, a leading provider of vision-guided flexible automated guided vehicles (AGVs), was profiled in Logistics Management. According to the article, Yale Materials Handling Corporation announced that by working with Seegrid, “Guided by Seegrid” technology will be available to Yale customers.

The driverless technology can help offset labor and operating costs and allow employees to be redeployed to value-added roles. The automated transportation of materials might also help improve facility productivity.
