Automatic Guided Vehicles

Seegrid (Booth 3100) was off and running on Monday morning with a press conference introducing two new solutions to Modex and the marketplace–the GC4, a vision-guided robotic standup forklift; and View, an automated data collection tool.

Kiva Systems (Booth 2500) announced it has implemented and met the standards for ISO 9001 certification, encompassing the areas of solution design, testing, manufacturing, consulting, services delivery and technology support of software, firmware and hardware.

A new automatic guided vehicle (AGV) drive unit, AGV cart tugger and heavy-duty pipe system for constructing structures such as workstations, flowracks, carts and AGVs are on display at Creform’s exhibit (Booth 4705).

Modex 2012, slated for February 6-9, will showcase more than 500 exhibits and include a comprehensive educational conference. The event, to be held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, will offer an array of products to help improve productivity at your company.

Moving goods in warehouses and factories is labor-intensive work, plagued by inefficiency, errors and safety lapses that cut into profitability. Picking goods in the warehouse can be even more problematic as varying product size, weight, demand and even seasonality create real challenges for optimizing product slotting and maximizing worker efficiency.

Built with a number of variable components, automatic guided vehicles are flexible, versatile unmanned solutions that can safely and efficiently move product around your facility.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has awarded Jervis B. Webb Company a patent for its Automatic Transport Loading System and Method as well as for its Variable Path for automated guided vehicles.

This partnership will allow the two companies to leverage each of their areas of expertise, resulting in highest quality products and services for customers.
