Pallet Trucks Offer Productivity and Efficiency Gains
Honeywell, Pleasant Prairie, Wis., installed one of Seegrid’s automated guided vehicles (AGVs)—GP8 pallet trucks. Honeywell uses the Seegrid AGVs to transport raw materials such as copper coils, cables and wire spools to manufacturing and deliver the finished goods to the warehouse.
“We are using the Seegrid GP8s to enhance the capabilities of my professional material handling staff by providing them another set of forks to complete the cross-plant moves,” says Michael Crichlow, cable and custom electronics logistics manager. “The AGVs will allow me to use my material handlers for the more precise placements and technical moves throughout the manufacturing floor and distribution center. This is accomplished by eliminating empty fork time, as the material handlers move from one task to the next.”
