Automation is no longer just a buzz word. If your thinking about implementing automation in your material handling process here are some things to think about: 1: Your Facility - Although AGVs are adaptable, there are still physical requirements that go along with automated vehicles. If your building a new facility, engage an AGV company in your planing process to avoid punch points and traffic issues. 2: Your Pallets - AGVs love consistency. Are your pallets all the same? Are they in great condition? If not don’t fret, you may just need to introduce a partner pallet to your system. 3: Your Racking - AGVs are precise and your racking needs to be as well. Choosing the right racking installer is critical to avoid protencial problems. 4: Your Floor - I know your floors look flat, but how flat are they? If your building a new facility make sure to explore what F-min requirements will need to be met. In an existing facility, your floor may need to adjusted.
