Manufacturer of Vision-Guided Automated Vehicles, Seegrid Receives Award by Pittsburgh Business Times

Seegrid, manufacturer of vision-guided automated vehicles for the material handling industry, was just given the 2013 Manufacturer of the Year Award from the Pittsburgh Business Times.

Justine Coyne, writer for the Pittsburgh Business Times reported, “Seegrid, which manufactures automated vision-guided pallet trucks, tow tractors and walkie stackers (pedestrian walk-behind stackers), has 68 employees, but is rapidly expanding both its head count and its physical plant location. In 2013, the company’s workforce increased by more than 10 percent, and it expects hiring to continue strong through 2020.”

Anthony Horbal, CEO of Seegrid accepted the award and thanked his dedicated team members for their hard work, vision, and passion (http://www.bizjournals.com/pittsburgh/video/BiMnk3aTofn7Fzx-5uJLnmId0eDsYLz-?autoplay=1). Horbal also commented, “What sets Seegrid apart is the flexibility of its technology, which allows systems to operate without the need for wire, laser tape, or magnets. Its systems can be delivered in the morning and up and running in a facility by the afternoon. Seegrid recently instituted a ‘try before you buy’ program that allows potential customers to see the technology in action in their own facility.”

Seegrid has experienced a 350% year-over-year sales increase of its robotic industrial trucks. Even stronger growth is anticipated in 2014 as the company embarks on international sales in Europe and the Middle East.Seegrid provides the European market with innovative and flexible automation in vision-guided AGVs. Seegrid flexible AGVs, often called robotic industrial trucks, optimize workflow processes by increasing productivity, reducing costs, and creating economic operational advantages. These benefits are possible while delivering a rapid return on investment (ROI), improving facility safety, and reducing equipment and product damage.
