OCME will be showing one of its
Auriga Laser Guided Vehicles (LGV)
at IMHX. Automatic LGVs can
perform routine tasks normally
carried out by forklift and clamp
trucks, without need for a driver. The
cost saving associated with labour is
usually significant, however LGVs can
also help to reduce operating costs in
other ways; for example, no
unexpected bills for repairing forklift
damage to the building, machinery
and product. Maintenance costs are
also said to be lower.

Another benefit in using LGVs is
the improvement in safety. The
vehicles travel at a maximum of
1.5m/sec and follow
predefined paths to an
accuracy of
+/-5mm. Safety scanners on
the front, back and both
sides of the vehicle
constantly check for the
presence of obstacles
and personnel.
