LGV benefits
January 1st 2011 Elettric 80 says it is challenging the
notion that only production
companies benefit from automation.
It says distribution centres can be
automated by laser guided vehicles,
to increase both efficiency and safety
while reducing costs.
Such systems can be implemented
in existing warehouse environments
with little or no site modification
required. Different types of LGVs are
available, capable of transporting one
or more pallets at a time. The
company's Giraffe, for example, is a
single pallet reach truck that can
handle goods at 11m high. The
reprogrammable systems adapt to
most methods, for instance blockstacking,
drive-in racks and narrow
aisle racking. The company says that
personal safety is increased due to
centimetre-precision handling and
advanced safety technology. More articles from Elettric 80 AB: |
