Companies in manufacturing and warehousing today are turning to automatic guided vehicle solutions (AGVs) for their material movement needs. Accuracy, efficiency, and performance all factor into choosing the right AGV to meet your facility needs, with many options in today’s market to choose from.
As the #1 provider in the fast growing “infrastructure-free” AGV market, Seegrid's automation solutions can increase throughput, improve safety, fill labor shortages, and help improve overall material flow at customer sites.
At Zulily, Seegrid’s vision-guided AGVs increased productivity, reutilizing employees to more meaningful positions. “The main challenge I was trying to solve was to remove the inherent operator from these daily product ferrying routines, and put them into an actual useful operation which in turn gives us productivity,” said Zulily Senior Industrial Engineer Dwarakesh Jayaram. “When we looked at Seegrid, we thought this would be a great innovative solution for us because this is not an age-old practice where we use tape or magnetic wire to drive a machine.”
The fast growing field of industrial AGVs carries a variety of features to improve your daily material flow processes, each with different approaches to improving this workflow. What makes Seegrid’s vision-guided AGVs unique is their flexibility and infrastructure free focus. They can easily be trained by employees on site, changing routes in your facility in minutes without shutting down production or impacting work-flow. The ability to be flexible in dynamic environments, reduce labor costs, and improve safety allow Seegrid’s AGVs to have a fast ROI and show immediate results.
