Forklift with auto positioning, operator-assist technology
Crown Equipment Corp., New Bremen, Ohio, announced two new components within its automation solutions portfolio designed to help customers increase throughput capacities, optimize existing facilities to meet changing market conditions and mitigate business disruptions.
Crown’s new Auto Positioning System enables a forklift to take the most effective route to the next rack location. When a pick location is entered manually or shared through a linked warehouse management system, the Auto Positioning System controls the truck’s blend of lift and travel to optimize the time required to reach and automatically stop at the rack location.
