A major food manufacturer with a plant
location in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, wanted to provide Just In Time (JIT)
delivery to its docks. They determined after evaluating several
alternatives that a Laser Guided Vehicle (LGV) system could provide
the necessary solution. The system needed to take into account safety as well as cost-efficiencies. The vehicles would use the latest laser technology to determine objects in the vehicle’s path and stop automatically until the path became unobstructed. Load present sensors were utilized to initiate a material pickup call. The system controller manages vehicle traffic and directs the closest fork style LGV to move and pickup the load. Once the load is picked up the vehicle uses the on-board traffic manager to deliver the finished goods to a drop-off stand in the warehouse. |
