No Risk Automation Newsletter Issue Number 4 Examines How AGVs Reducing Damage Inventory

Aug. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- The fourth issue of “No Risk Automation” (a weekly e-newsletter) will be issued on August 25^th and address how AGVs have been found to reduce the damage to inventory, make production scheduling more flexible, and reduce staffing needs.  AGVs are a major capital decision and implementation requires a level of fiscal caution combined with industry knowledge and experience.

The upcoming issue also discusses the criteria when considering automation, particularly AGV (automated guided vehicle) selection.  One criterion is load types, which might include pallets, rolls, cases, containers, bales, or something else.  This should be one of the first considerations asked in the selection process.

The third issue of No Risk Automation, distributed on August 18^th, explored how engineering services often detracts the overall project and layout analysis and development of customized tooling options.  The first step is the same in all automation processes: namely analyze automation needs and begin developing an implementation plan.
