Seegrid Supervisor AGV Software Profiled in Material Handling and Logistics Magazine

Aug. 14, 2014 - PRLog -- Seegrid, makers of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), was profiled in  Material Handling & Logistics magazine. Seegrid’s Supervisor is an AGV software system that communicates with a network appliance via wireless network. It is configured through a local web browser to connect, monitor, and control vision-guided AGVs within a facility. Supervisor provides visibility to improve efficiency and optimize material flow using three components: Fleet Status, Intersection Manager and Switchboard. The architecture allows for integration with external control devices like PLCs (programmable logic controllers) or existing software systems such as Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). The software system is a dynamic tool for vehicle notifications, creating rules and command configurations, and tracking and dispatching AGVs for material transport.
