Seegrid Corporation Launches Solutions in Material Handling

Logistics Insight Asia - New Products, 20/3/2008

Seegrid introduces the only camera-guided, mobile vehicles in the robotics industry with its initial focus on material handling in warehousing, manufacturing and distribution.

Seegrid Corporation has launched solutions in the material handling industry aimed at delivering what’s said to be unparalleled ROI for manufacturers and distributors. The emergence of Seegrid in the industry provides the only industrial mobile robots with the ability to navigate their environment without magnetic tapes, guide wires or lasers.

Seegrid’s Industrial Mobile Robotics (IMR) technology provides early-stage capabilities of autonomous robot behavior with Sense, Move, Analyze, Interact and Repeat capabilities, providing a real difference from today’s AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles). The result--AGV-like competence with greater flexibility at a considerably lower cost. IMR-enabled robots provide WalkThroughThenWork capabilities, providing an operator with the ability to simply and easily instruct the robot along a desired path, adding behaviors such as horns and stop stations, usually in minutes. Seegrid robots literally come straight off the truck; an operator quickly inputs the path and the robot is immediately productive.
