Edison Award Winning Seegrid Reports Strong Booth Traffic at CeMAT

Pittsburgh, PA, May 23, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Seegrid, maker of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), noted lead generation and booth visits at CeMat 2014 are higher than expected. Seegrid is expanding their presence in Europe to meet global demand of AGVs. CeMAT 2014 runs this week in Hannover, Germany.

Michael Hasco, Seegrid’s Chief Growth Officer explained, “We are excited about the lead generation and visits to the Seegrid booth thus far during the show. Seegrid AGVs have an obvious labor savings which makes the trucks attractive to the European market. Additionally, Seegrid customers realize an increased safety benefit by operating unmanned vision-guided AGVs. Despite having training and compliance programs, unpredictable driver behaviors / unsafe working practices and untrained operatives are the two largest contributing factors to truck accidents, so sufficient training is a challenge. Additionally, when part-time and seasonal staffing are brought in to meet the pressure of peak demands, training and experience are compromised. Therefore, companies performing risk assessments in their facility can see the value added in their safety initiatives by deploying Seegrid vision-guided AGVs.”

European manufacturers and distributors will find an affordable automation solution to streamline processes while remaining efficient and productive with Seegrid.

With Seegrid vision-guided automated guided vehicles, consumers have a simple, affordable, and flexible automation solution for towing applications. Because Seegrid’s technology provides capability for the vehicle to operate autonomously without installing lasers, tapes, wire guides or magnets in a facility, the deployment of vehicles can take place the same day of delivery.
