Seegrid Video Demonstrates Unmanned GP8 Pallet Truck
Seegrid Video Demonstrates Unmanned GP8 Pallet Truck in action
By: TR Cutler
June 20, 2013 - PRLog -- Seegrid recently produced the video demonstration of the GP8 pallet truck. The unmanned GP8 pallet truck transports products with vision-guided technology. Position the GP8’s forks under the pallets to move, input the route on the keypad, and the Robotic Industrial Truck travels without wires, tapes or lasers. From putaway, transfers and selection to long hauls and cross-docking, the GP8 reduces the cost per move. Extend workforce productivity, improve safety, and lower operating costs, are some of the benefits, while giving operations personnel truck and route control.
With the new GP8 Towing Attachment, customers have the power and flexibility of two machines in one. Firms are delivering pallets across the facility. The solution is to utilize the unmanned GP8 in standard operation mode for vision-guided technology transport. Workflow requires cards to deliver products and components. Clients attach cars to the unmanned GP8 Towing Attachment, and have parts delivered across the facility. Once deliveries are completed, the Robotic Industrial Truck returns for more work.
