2014 Edison Award Winner Seegrid Profiled in Robotics Tomorrow

Pittsburgh, PA, May 11, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Seegrid, maker of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), was profiled in Robotics Tomorrow. According to the article, Seegrid was awarded a prestigious 2014 Edison Award for the Seegrid automated GT10 tow tractor in the Applied Technology, Industrial Productivity category. The GT10 tow tractor automates the movement of flatbed cars, trains, or carts using Seegrid’s patented vision-guided technology. Attach the load to the GT10, type in the route on the keypad, and the flexible AGV travels without wire, laser, tape, or magnet. No facility or environment changes are required for Seegrid robots to navigate. The vision-guided technology allows the GT10 tow tractor to use the existing infrastructure to map its guidance.

Seegrid’s Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Herbal, was very pleased and commented, “Seegrid is honored to receive the prestigious award. It is our mission to provide superior game-changing products that deliver customers with a competitive advantage to rapidly increase profitability and improve the overall efficiency, safety, and productivity in their operation.
