Seegrid Unveils GT3, the First Vision-Guided Industrial Mobile Robot Designed Specifically for Material Handling in Manufacturing, Warehousing and Distribution

Logistics Insight Asia - Technology & Market Trends, 7/4/2008

Seegrid Corporation has introduced its autonomous tugger, the GT3. The vehicle employs Seegrid’s Industrial Mobile Robotics (IMR) technology, which enables it to move through manufacturing, warehousing and distribution operations utilizing stereo cameras to build a reliable 3D map of the environment. The GT3 then uses the map and its own reasoning ability to navigate a predetermined path to complete its assigned transport task.

The GT3 transports materials and finished goods without wire guides, magnets or lasers. It is designed to free up skilled employees by taking care of such tasks as pulling carts, delivering palletized materials and positioning supplies in tight areas. The vehicle is highly flexible and can be implemented quickly and easily with no workflow disruption. The GT3 frees up workers to focus on higher-valued tasks, increases productivity by constantly enforcing the work pace, fosters safety discipline and reduces labor, accidents and injury costs. It has the lowest total cost of ownership and the highest Return on Investment (ROI) in the material handling industry.
