The commercial printing industry uses AGVs to move a viariety of different products from large rolls used in production to finished products directly to the dock for distribution. The skidded products may be boxed, banded, wrapped or simply stacked on a pallet which requires the AGV to handle the product securely during transportation. These AGVs help to increase efficiency, capabilities, and safety while eliminated product damage. View Case studies:

| Tailor-Made Solution Provides Commercial Printing Company with Increased Stability | ||

| Factory Automation improves process flow | ||
|
A premier full-service provider of
commercial print and related services wanted to bring their already
somewhat automated material handling system to a new level. They
decided to implement a new Tailor-Made automatic transportation system
that integrated a 4-vehicle automated laser-guided vehicle system. The goal was to automate the safe transportation of various load types to a range of processes within the plant. The company felt a Tailor-Made automation solution was needed to carry the load securely and to remain ahead of the competition and to reduce costs. |
||
| Laser-guided vehicles provide accuracy and increased reliability | ||
| New laser-guided vehicles (LGVs) were installed to replace hand and motorized pallet trucks to move loads from station to station accurately and reliably. The LGVs receive requests from operator call buttons. The LGV is a Fork-Style Load Clamp vehicle that picks up the loads from conveyors with different orientations, time after time. | ||
|
|
||
|
A key factor is the transportation of
unbound, irregular loads using a Load Clamp LGV to increase efficiency and reliability. |
||
|
|
||
| Load clamp offers flexibility | ||
|
Products are not bound throughout the
system, so the vehicle includes a clamp to keep materials stabilized.
The LGV stops prior to approaching the conveyor, orients itself to the
conveyor, and then picks up the unbound materials. In addition, items
moved by the LGV system include real time monitoring and tracking of
loads to ensure accuracy. The result was a comprehensive solution for a 24-hour, 7-days a week operation that is in a highly competitive market. This is just one more example of how Transbotics Tailor- Made Solutions are Moving Your Business. |
