Seegrid Robotic Industrial Trucks Will be Featured on DC Velocity Move It Show
Pittsburgh, PA -- (SBWire) -- 12/05/2012 --Seegrid Corporation (http://www.Seegrid.com), the leading manufacturer of robotic industrial trucks, will be featured in the Move It Show toward the end of December 2012. The video will also be featured at ProMat 2013 at the DC Velocity’s ProMat theatre. Seegrid will be exhibiting at booth 1531 during ProMat2013 January 21st -24th.
The fifth segment of the show will highlight Seegrid’s robotic industrial trucks and their role in manufacturing distribution. The video link that will be featured can be viewed in advance at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1r4sFi3PV0.
The video shows Seegrid’s Robotic Industrial Trucks were used by Seegrid customer, YUSA, and why the company took to the Robotic Industrial Truck right away when they saw how it helped with their workload. On the manufacturing side, an unexpected secondary benefit is that they removed clutter and unsightly pallets from the work areas so the trucks can maneuver, providing a cleaner, safer work environment.
The solution was clear when the YUSA Corporation was able to deploy the Seegrid Robotic Industrial Trucks with the following benefits:
- Ease-of-use, avoidance of training and costly maintenance practices
- Flexibility of route selection, familiarity with existing equipment types (forklifts and pallet jacks)
- Workforce acceptance, labor savings and general comfort working along manned equipment
-
Seegrid’s Robotic Industrial Trucks proved to be a perfect fit for YUSA and yielded substantial and immediate benefits, including:
- Reduced Labor Cost: Full-time employees were reassigned to value- added work activities
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Employees can perform routine maintenance and trouble shooting
- No Facility Adaptation: The Robotic Industrial Trucks required no facility change and were set up in less than one hour
- Health & Safety: Less manual labor, controlled travel speeds and a system driven workflow that promotes consistent safe behavior
