Heavy Equipment Manufacturer Upgrades AGV System to Maximize Benefits from Factory Automation

Features/Benefits You Receive from an Automated Material Handling System:

Increased System Speed Using Quad Vehicle

Significant Cost Savings

Increased Production

Efficient Integration with Stationary Robots

AGV Integrates with Robot to Create a Total Material Handling Solution

The AGV was integrated with a robot to do the welding. This removed the operators from the hazards of welding. The AGV system was chosen over a mechanical conveyors system because of its flexibility including the ability to easily modify the system as

Factory Automation provides significant cost savings, increases production and increases safety

A manufacturer of heavy equipment with two plant locations in North Dakota wanted to upgrade their current AGV system. The old system was used today to carry heavy parts and partially assembled product down an assembly line.

The new system would need to integrate with the old system that was still operating efficiently. Transbotics worked with the customer to determine the best material handling solution. The AGVs would be used throughout the supply chain process (preproduction, production and finished goods).

While all AGV installations are custom, standard Transbotics’ software is easily adaptable to give maximum flexibility in controlling the AGVs and making changes in the system as needed.

Transbotics determined that the customer could greatly benefit from the use quad steer technology, which allowed the vehicles to move forwards, backwards and 90 degrees to either side. Through the use of quad movement the vehicle could operate in a much smaller space than with single-steer drive.

The result was a comprehensive solution that integrated 66 vehicles to automate a manufacturer and increase both production and safety. This is just one more example of how Transbotics is Moving Your Business
