JBT

One of the four modes of mobile automation, guided vehicles are ready to improve their flexibility and adapt more readily to changes in real-time conditions.

Whether it’s trying to efficiently load or unload full pallets, or deal with the burdens of manual case loading and unloading, inbound and outbound docks are places where operations can make significant gains with automation, as well as safety and reducing product damage.

The installation features Crown R 1000 Series DualMode reach trucks fitted with JBT Automated Systems robotics technology.

JBT is exhibiting its Warehouse Freezer AGV, which can operate in an array of temperatures, from -10ºF to 110ºF.

Regardless of the type of materials handling equipment you install, the next big decision will be to go contract or in-house for maintenance. Getting it right requires some thought and typically depends on your circumstances.

JBT Corporation, a global technology provider, recently announced that it is bringing a new dual-mode AGV to the market in cooperation with Hyster-Yale Materials Handling.

JBT Corporation, a global technology provider, recently announced it has solidified deals with Crown Equipment Corporation to automate their equipment.

Partnership to provide increased access to an expanding portfolio of automation capabilities to meet material handling needs today and in the future.

The system can handle up to 2,500 pounds and travel more than 300 feet per minute, improving material delivery.

Market for automated guided vehicles expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2022.

Moving product through a warehouse or distribution center often comes down to the basics: casters, tuggers and carts. Innovations in these simple solutions are increasing ergonomics, productivity and safety for workers on the floor.

With automotive sales rebounding, manufacturers are reshoring operations to North America and investing in automation equipment and technologies.

A time when autonomous robots navigate the warehouse or DC unattended could be right around the corner. Is your company ready?

In response to rapidly changing demands, autonomous vehicles of all kinds are making their way into the modern warehouse.

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.
