Consumer Goods Industry AGV Systems

Humans are mass consumers of made-for-consumption non-durable goods. Everything from toothpaste to air-fresheners to cleaning supplies, all of these products are transported from one location to another until it shows up on the shelves of your local supermarket.

Points of transport for AGVs

• Automatic trailer unloading of raw materials
• WIP transportation of partially manufactured sub-assemblies between production operations
• End-of-line transportation of finished goods to warehousing
• Automatic trailer loading of goods from warehousing onto common over-the-road trailers

At each point in the process, transporting product adds zero value. Automated guided vehicles provide efficient transportation of consumer goods while eliminating the costs of non-value added material handling wages and benefits.
