Automated Guided Vehicle in Application for Truck Outfitters

Our new AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle) is being put to work in the facility it was designed for. Engineered specifically for Truck Outfitting, these autonomous guided carts move through the assembly line along a tape featuring printed QR codes which the laser guidance mechanism reads: telling the machine how fast or how slow to move so the work can be done at the proven speed. The affordable option to alter the tape in order to change the facility's assembly path is a great option available to Handling Specialty's AGV systems, rather then placing the guided carts on a fixed track.
