Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) such as mobile robots, carts, tuggers and self-driving forklifts can improve your manufacturing and warehouse efficiency without heavy investments. The payback period for vehicle automation is often as low as 1–2 years and then you can look forward to many years of profits.
