By: TR Cutler According to Bryan Donohue, Section Manager, “Two GT10 tow tractors are used to transport product between manufacturing processes. Three GT10s are used to transport inbound freight from our Aisin Support Facility and deliver within the manufacturing area. Four GP8 double length pallet trucks are being utilized to transport product from manufacturing and shipping areas to the shipping staging lanes. We have also deployed a GP8 with tugger attachment that transports empty racks on carts to the manufacturing line and brings finished product back to the finished goods store.” Mark Hamilton, Transportation/ According to the Aisin management team, Seegrid robots are safe, simple, and flexible. “They make it so easy for the operator out on the shop floor to make changes, and in an environment like ours, that is very important. The robots are user friendly in all aspects, from training, to normal day to day operation of the vehicles,” remarked Hamilton. Donohue explained that since deploying Seegrid robotic industrial trucks, there has been a consistent flow of internal component movement as well as inventory reduction due to more frequent deliveries to the manufacturing lines.
