Automate The Conventional |

In today’s supply chain, operations are faced with a balancing act to maintain high efficiency and competitive advantage. In the past several years, a number of trends have emerged to challenge efficient supply chain operations including increasing SKU counts, order frequency, decreasing order size, escalating labor and energy costs and the demand for high levels of customer service. And all accompanied with shareholder demand to have less and less impact to the bottom line.
Today, with new technology developments, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) offer a compelling advantage for warehouse operations including:
- Significant and immediate reductions in annual operating costs
- Increased accuracy and reliability
- Reduced product and facility damage
- Greater energy efficiency
An Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVs) in a conventional warehouse can effectively address several challenges without the need to reconfigure conventional rack storage areas. AGVs can conform to a variety of facility types and applications such as narrow aisle storage and very-narrow aisle (VNA) storage. In addition, AGVs can also be utilized for every type of pallet movement within a warehouse or distribution center.
Automated Guided Vehicle Systems can improve and enhance the material flow in warehouse and/or distribution environments. These systems allow flexibility to automate as few or many functions as required and can easily interface with existing material handling equipment and technology. Most important, AGV solutions require no major alteration to existing warehouse footprints or material storage systems.
