Recycling Plants Utilize Smart Carts

With the boom in recycling and environmental efforts over the years, automation engineers introduced asrs systems into recycling and renewable energy plants.

Laser guided vehicles are navigational equipment that use motion sensors and computers to track the position and velocity of a moving object. These Smart Carts interface with robotics to help streamline the recycling process.

Instead of relying on manual labor, laser guided vehicles move tons of plastics, aluminum cans and glass quickly and efficiently. Because of the large amounts of recycling materials collected each day, it makes sense for recycling plants to utilize automated technology. By implementing Smart Carts, recycling plants also save millions in operating costs each year and reduce their labor force in half.

Smart Carts and Driverless Vehicles Take on Fork Truck Work Loads

Driverless, laser-guided robots perform complicated and sometimes boring tasks. AGC systems also decrease dangerous hazards and risks inside recycling plants. Instead of a human worker lifting heavy pallets, asrs systems lifts heavy, bulky loads for employees. Heavy pallets, fork lifts and conveyors produce fast, efficient results. LGV systems and inertial sensor allows robotics equipments to work effortlessly throughout the night and operate 7 days a week.

By using laser guided vehicles in mobile robots, recycling plants benefit in the following ways:

• Increases productivity
• Safer working environment (less hazards and accidents)
• Improves reliability
• Lifts and transports heavy, cumbersome loads
• Utilizes less human laborers (reduces costs)
• Decreases energy costs
  
  

Automated Equipment Achieves Dynamic Results for Recycling

With the advanced technology of automated systems, recycling plants help save the planet in more fast and efficient ways. Robotics and laser guided vehicles work simultaneously together to produce dynamic results for recycling plants. These navigation systems offer a wide variety of automated equipment to make the recycling process run smoothly. These robotic systems include:

Kuka robotics

Palletizing and depalletizing robots

Automated equipment – conveyors and fork lifts

Drive and steer options – quad wheel, 2-steer drive, and steer drive 3-wheel
