By: TR Cutler The three important considerations when purchasing an AGV include return on investment (ROI), the safety of employees, products & facilities, and simplicity. Traditional AGVs often require facility modifications and outside sources to maintain the vehicles or re-create new, dynamic, and frequently changing routes. There is no need for facility modifications with flexible AGVs because they operate off of a vision-guided system. Flexible AGVs are maintained in-house by the operators, and routes can be changed for each shift or as often as needed to accommodate the fluidity of merchandise movement. Each plant, warehouse, distribution center management team has unique requirements and demands for buying automated guided vehicles. While there are many other considerations to be reviewed and addressed before a purchase order can be issued, the three mentioned considerations, ROI, Safety, and Simplicity, represent a significant portion of the purchase decision. These considerations are precisely why flexible AGVs are predicted to capture a greater share of the market in 2014, than at any other time in material handling history.
