Pittsburgh, PA -- (SBWire) -- 11/07/2011 --With more than thirty years of innovation and research by the leading robotic scientists, engineers, programmers and logistics practitioners worldwide, Seegrid’s exclusive Robotic Industrial Trucks are revolutionizing the movement of materials in manufacturing and distribution environments. Seegrid’s technology transforms industrial vehicles into un-manned, automated pallet trucks and tow tractors that operate without the need for wire, tape, laser or other costly automated guided vehicle (AGV) guidance systems. Seegrid offers solutions that optimize workflow processes by increasing productivity and reducing costs, creating economic and operational advantages.
“It’s exciting to become part of an organization that has such a potential for growth and expansion. I am confident I will bring immediate value through my previous experience in engineering, operations and project management,” said Sheaffer.
Sheaffer brings direct management experience covering procurement, customer service, production operations, production planning/scheduling, distribution/fulfillment to the table. Sheaffer’s project management experience includes management of client programs for national accounts as well as direction of project coordination; he is also an expert in product development engineering.
“Seegrid will certainly benefit from Sheaffer’s expertise, success and leadership, as we continue to develop innovative solutions for warehouse management,” stated John Mazock, VP of Manufacturing.
The Seegrid hiring expansion was the natural and necessary progression, especially with respect to the recent partnerships with Raymond Corp. and Linde Material Handling. These two leading industrial truck manufacturers worldwide have captured the top two market share positions in the industry. Seegrid has entered into a rapid growth period to meet the demands of its OEM partners and its ever-growing, material handling client base.
