Mobile robots keep product flowing at Giant Eagle’s retail support centers

Bastian Solutions, a global material handling systems integrator, recently announced it will become a partner integrator with Seegrid.

When American Packaging finished their 100,000 square foot operating and storage space expansion, it led them to investigate ergonomic alternatives to transportation with manned forklifts. With a growing footprint, the need to move printed materials further distances with speed and safety was essential. American Packaging had to add labor or automate—APC chose to automate their plant with Robotic Industrial Trucks.

Suppliers, end-users and researchers have identified warehousing, distribution and manufacturing as the most promising growth areas for robotic applications.

Facing a decision to add operators or automate, American Packaging Corp. turned to robotic industrial pallet trucks to increase consistency and savings.

Anthony Horbal, who most recently served as president and is a significant investor in Seegrid, will take over as chief executive officer of the company.

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.

To give Modex 2012 exhibitors another means to entice attendees to their displays, the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA) sponsored the “One Minute to Connect” contest.

The leading provider of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and enterprise software for material handling.

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

If you think AGVs, or automatic guided vehicles, are a mature technology, think again. Since 2005, the industry has seen an unparalleled level of innovation.

New vehicle will fill the gap between complete automation and a traditional lift truck

Robotic materials handling is coming to the warehouse and distribution center.

From conveyors to pallets, industry leaders make the case for how their products can make a difference to companies focused on the green supply chain
