Seegrid, the leading manufacturer of flexible AGVs, also known as robotic industrial trucks, will be officially launching its newest product at MODEX 2014 at booth #7317 in Atlanta, GA. The GWS35 is equipped with Seegrid’s patented vision-guided autonomous navigation system and automatically transports palletized loads through manufacturing and distribution environments.
The pre-launch allows prospective customers to learn more about this newest product in Seegrid’s suite of automation solutions; it is part of the company’s commitment to make affordable automation available to everyone.
The revolutionary flexible GWS35 walkie stacker automatically picks, drops, stacks, and puts away loads up to 72 inches at a maximum load capacity of 3,500 pounds. The automated walkie stacker is used for automatic lane building or deep lane storage at dock and staging locations. The GWS35 is state-of-the-art yet simple to use. It does not require any additional infrastructure, costly expansion or redesign of a facility, or a specialized team of engineers to install, support, or operate the flexible vision-guided GWS35.
The vehicle offers fast and effective deployment within hours instead of weeks, has the ability to change routes quickly and easily, operates safely with workers and equipment, and provides the most operational flexibility for the automation of internal material flow in distribution and manufacturing facilities. The GWS35 rapidly reduces labor and operating costs while creating a lean, productive, and efficient operation.
John Hayes, Seegrid VP of Sales and Marketing, North America, states, “With the flexible GWS35 walkie stacker, we have expanded our traditional horizontal transportation line by adding a vehicle that allows for nearly all traditional AGV applications to be both simple and affordable. The flexible GWS35 addresses the market needs of an automated guided vehicle solution at a fraction of the cost.”
Seegrid is proud to introduce the GWS35 at MODEX 2014. The flexible vision-guided GWS35 provides cost-effective initial investment and low total cost of ownership, while delivering affordable transport with a rapid payback.
