Seegrid Corporation, the leading manufacturer of robotic industrial trucks, announced a ProMat show special lease opportunity. According to David Noble, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Seegrid, “The ProMat special leasing opportunity allows facilities to deploy the driverless GP8 single or double pallet truck for as little as $888 a month. According to Salary.com, a material handling employee, fully-burdened, costs a company $47,639 a year. This equates to a monthly cost of $3,680 or an hourly cost of $23.00. Instead of moving product with manned industrial equipment, companies will lease the GP8 pallet truck at a record low cost.”

Seegrid’s products include the driverless single and double pallet trucks and tow tractors. Robotic industrial trucks are available for purchase by manufacturing and warehousing facilities in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and the Sultanate of Oman.

Most robots are designed to be a helping hand or a high-tech tool. They help people with tasks that would be difficult, unsafe, boring, or repetitive for a human to perform. The first industrial robots performed tasks that were, “Hot, Heavy, or Hazardous,” the three-H’s, performing tasks that were too difficult or too dangerous for people. Robots exhibit varying degrees of autonomous behavior; many robots are programmed to faithfully carry out specific repetitive actions without variation and with an extremely high degree of accuracy. These actions are determined by programmed routines that specify the direction, acceleration, velocity, deceleration, and distance of a series of coordinated motions. Sometimes they mimic the motions of humans exactly, and other times they improve upon it, moving faster, more precisely, or more smoothly than humans.

American Packaging Corp. (APC), recently expanded its facility in Columbus, WI. With this expansion, company executives recognized they either needed to add labor or automate. There was a need to safely transport printed materials across the 100,000 square foot expansion and adding labor was just not an option. Instead, APC added Seegrid’s Robotic Industrial Trucks and reassigned the labor needed to transport the product to more value-added functions.

Last month at PACK EXPO in Chicago, Seegrid Corp. held a press conference lead by Michael M. Hasco, Chief Growth Officer. Hasco explained, “Each company in the printing and packaging industry faces its own unique challenges, but the industry overall faces similar challenges. These challenges include the need to exceed customer demands, cut costs, improve safety and reduce waste.”

Following sizable facility expansions, American Packaging Corp. (APC) determined the length of simple A to B routes was not ergonomically ideal for human pallet truck operators. Facing a decision to add operators or automate, the company turned to robotic industrial pallet trucks to increase consistency and savings.

While many look towards the recent US election for economic relief, some are utilizing the Internet and specialty websites to share information to ease their financial situations immediately. This growing trend is explored and one such website is profiled here.

DS Waters needed a new kind of bottled water truck, so they turned to Magline. The challenge was their route sales representatives were picking up one or two bottles by hand to carry to their customers.

In a recent issue of Modern Materials Handling, Associate editor Josh Bond wrote about how automation bridges transportation gaps He shared how facing a decision to add operators or automate, American Packaging Corp., turned to robotic industrial pallet trucks by Seegrid to increase consistency and savings.

David Heilman, Chief Administrative Officer at Seegrid, said “Our customers are growing and innovating by using robots to increase facility productivity and efficiency to become more profitable, thus expanding their operations and adding more jobs. Robots are the high-tech tool companies are using to increase profits and grow their business.”

Seegrid Corp., the leader in Robotic Industrial Trucks, announced industrial robots are creating more jobs in warehousing and manufacturing facilities.

The leading robotic material handling company, Seegrid Corp., announced the issuance of US Patent No. 8,169,596 B2, relating to an obstacle detection system; formally known as “System and Method Using a Multi-Plane Curtain.”

The new generation of workforce expects high-technology in their life and workplace. This new generation thrives from challenge and wants to be working with robots and computers. Seegrid has seen robotic education grow already through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) celebrates the achievement in STEM education through robotics tournaments. Seegrid recently had the opportunity to support STEM education by awarding a Pittsburgh high school student a robotics education scholarship at a FIRST competition. Seegrid is committed to investing in young people and as the leader in robotics continues to innovate and provide products that create jobs.
