Automatic Guided Vehicles

Harvest Automation's OmniVeyor TM-100 is a mobile autonomous robot system for distribution and fulfillment that increases worker productivity and lowers order fulfillment costs.

With the aim of filling the gap between facilities that rely on automated guided carts (AGCs) or conventional lift trucks to move materials, and those that use traditional automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) with a central computer, JBT (Booth 1547) introduced the JayBot AGV at a Monday afternoon press conference.

Egemin Automation (Booth 2359) has unveiled a new automated vehicle that is a small yet robust and designed to handle standard-sized loads at higher capacities than the AGCs (automatic guided carts) currently on the market: The E’gv Compact.

Hi-Tech Robotic Systemz (Booth 5521) is making its North American debut at ProMat 2015 with a focus on automating e-commerce fulfillment centers.

In a press conference on Monday, Daifuku North America and its subsidiary Wynright (Booth 1013) offered a tour of a multiple integrated product solutions engineered to drive process improvements throughout manufacturing and supply chain operations.

At Magna’s T.E.A.M. Systems Toledo plant, automatic guided carts move assemblies from one station to the next.

AGCs act as a mobile assembly line at T.E.A.M. Systems’s Toledo manufacturing facility.

Founder brings 35 years of executive and entrepreneurial experience in the AGV market.

Customized automation replaces carts for lengthy movement of sensitive components.

AGVs handle product that associates previously pushed in carts along a 1,200-foot path.

As software interfaces and vehicle components improve, users of automatic guided vehicles are becoming less reliant on others to use and maintain their own fleets.

Seegrid Corporation, a global leader of robotic vision-guided automatic guided vehicles, announced DMLogic as the preferred integration partner for Seegrid Supervisor, network appliance installed on-site, which communicates with AGVs over WiFi.

Patent involves continuous, synchronized travel that allows AGVs to be used in assembly operations to replace traditional conveyor systems.
