Seegrid Corporation has introduced a self-driving pallet truck. The GP8 Series 6 utilizes Seegrid's Smart Platform, which combines flexible, infrastructure-free, vision-guided vehicles with fleet management, says the company.
"The GP8 Series 6 closes the automation loop by providing an end-to-end solution, removing the need for human assistance to complete tasks," Jeff Christensen, vice president of product with Pittsburgh-based Seegrid, said in a statement. "In manufacturing and e-commerce environments, every human touch is costly and unpredictable. As we help our customers develop smart factories of the future, safety, efficiency, and operating costs will continue to be the driving forces behind the adoption of automation.
