In the quest for cost savings and efficiency, companies are looking more and more to AGV systems for their facilities. But AGV systems, while marketed as a way to save money, are often more costly and troublesome than anticipated due to unforeseen or hidden costs. Rather than opting for high-end, over-engineered systems, which are costly both to procure and implement, companies can achieve their automation goals with much more basic, cost-effective systems. Through case studies and some practical advice from experience, attendees to this seminar will learn how they can create and manage their own simple, cost-effective, and reliable AGV system.
