Egemin Automation Adds New Jobs in Holland Michigan as AGV Demand Increases

Feb. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Egemin Automation, Inc. is a 35-year-old company specializing in Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) design and manufacturing. With a significant increase in demand for robotic technology, from the food and beverage industry, the company plans to add at least ten new workers to the operations in Holland.

Company executives say positions for site supervisors, technicians, electrical engineers, and software engineers are the beginning of significant growth due to the Hybrid AGV being introduced at ProMat 2011.

The man-a-board forklift and the Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) have finally become one.  Morphing manual and automatic operations onto a standard off-the-shelf forklift provides manufacturing and distribution centers the ultimate in material handling flexibility.  The ProMat 2011 Trade Show in Chicago, Illinois, March 21-24th, will be the launch pad for Egemin’s new Hybrid Automated Guided Vehicle.  Attendees visiting the Egemin ProMat Booth, #2347,                                     will see how easily an operator can interrupt automatic AGV operations, move product manually,                and then place the forklift back into fully automatic laser guidance mode.   A movie trailer on the ProMat 2011 website gives a sneak preview of the Egemin booth.                                                                                 Watch at http://www.promatshow.com/attendees/youroneminute.aspx; select “Egemin Hybrid AGV Product Launch – See it Live at ProMat 2011.”


Companies in the food, beverage, plastics, consumer goods and big box retail distribution markets purchase Egemin Hybrid Automated Guided Vehicles for flexibility, familiarity, reliability, and affordability.  Combined with Egemin’s Warehouse Management System (E’wms), organizations realize better than expected returns on investment.
