Increasing Productivity and Reducing Costs

A leading plastics and primary metal manufacturer with a plant location in Hartford, Wisconsin, wanted to find a way to increase their productivity while reducing the costs of moving their materials in their factory. They determined Laser Guided Vehicles (LGVs) would be the best way to accomplish this.

Transbotics standard fork-style vehicle was designed to carry loads up to 4,000 lbs. that were 56” wide and 44” long. The customers’ material handling specs identified loads that would vary in size from 36” to 48” in width and would be 48” in length, weighing about 3,000 lbs.

Transbotics’ in-house design team worked with the customer to modify our existing design and create a custom material handling system that met with their application requirements. In addition, the vehicle utilized non-contact laser safety bumpers to increase the safety of this operation.

"This customer benefited from a tailor-made
Laser Guided Vehicle that was designed for their specific application
without incurring additional cost for design modifications."
LGV System Utilizes the Latest Software for Total Solution

This manufacturer benefited from the use of Transbotics’ software, which is easily adaptable, providing maximum flexibility in controlling the AGVs and making changes in the system as needed.

The implementation of this new system resulted in custom material handling equipment for this specific customer which took into account cost, safety and flexibility. This is just one more example of how Transbotics is Moving Your Business.
