Most warehouse managers rely on manual movements of goods and parcels with lift trucks. Turning manual lift trucks into automated lift trucks frees up resources and improves safety.
The electronics engineer A. M. Barrett Jr. invented the first automated guided vehicle in the 1950s. Today, automated guided vehicles bring value to the most shifting applications.
Usually, in discussion about these terms, we tie in the word actuator – so more precisely, what is the difference between a linear actuator vs a rotary actuator?
Linear actuators, in essence, move something along a straight line, usually back and…
Rapid development in the industry makes this a hard question to answer. Join us for a ride in a world full of acronyms and expressions.
Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are designed to move materials in factories and goods in warehouses. They are more friendly than manually operated vehicles and more flexible than fixed automation solutions such as conveyor belts.
