Bottlenecks in optimal efficiency: How to avoid them with the help of AGVs?

Even with the best warehouse management systems in place, manually operated forklift transportation is still a bottleneck to optimum efficiency:

• Rolls and pallets are lost or misplaced
• Incorrect rolls delivered to converting machines
• Careless forklift operations causing damage to both product and equipment
• Falling rolls and pallets due to improper or faulty stacking
• Inability to provide cost effective 24/7 internal transport expertise

Implementation of an AGV fleet can have immediate bottom line advantages:

• No more lost or misplaced products
• Increased converting machine up-time with accurate and timely delivery of rolls
• No machine or product damage from manual truck impacts
• AGVs handle products gently and predictably reducing waste
• Efficiency of operations through reliable on-time delivery
• Improved housekeeping functions and lower inventory costs
• Increased safety with collision avoidance capabilities
• AGVs eliminate access issues created by conveyors or cranes
• AGV solutions are flexible to changing production and product handling requirements
• AGV system total costs of ownership are very predictable
• AGV system can be implemented without production stops
