Are you considering offering your customers an automated vehicle system? If you currently manufacture industrial vehicles, such as forklifts or tow tractors, vehicle automation could open a new revenue stream. But it’s a big project, and getting it wrong could prove to be an expensive exercise. With this in mind, below are five things to consider before adding an automated vehicle to your portfolio.

Every day, the team at Viessmann Group’s sheet metal production site in Germany moves 1,000 pallets of semi-finished products through the 20,000 square meter facility. This job is now made easier by a new SEP Logistik/BlueBotics forklift tracking system. This guides drivers to exactly the right pallet, at exactly the right time, and has reduced the number of forklifts needed per shift by 20%.

Vehicle automation projects succeed or fail on the strength of their navigation technology. That’s why robust and flexible natural navigation technologies are a popular choice for companies automating industrial vehicles.

To celebrate National Forklift Safety Day 2021, we’re focusing on automated forklift systems as a way to reduce lift truck related injuries and fatalities. In this article we’ll cover why driverless forklifts are safer than manual forklifts, and break down predictions for their adoption.

As a manufacturer of automated vehicles, your customers place a lot of trust in you. Not only to make a reliable, robust vehicle, but also keep their staff and stock safe. So how can you ensure your AGV’s safety before it arrives on-site?

Supply Chain Day showcases logistics by showing the public what goes on behind the scenes of the global supply chain.

In part one of this guide, we discussed AGV navigation methods that follow physical lines or tags. Here in part 2 we explore guidance technologies that follow virtual paths instead.
