The Mid-America Trucking Show began in the early 1970's, when a private management group was formed by Paul K. Young, to create the largest and most diversified trucking show in the United States of America. MATS was held in 1972 with 83 Exhibitors and 4000 visitors in attendance. This year’s show at the Louisville Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center is on March 22-24 and will host over 1,300 Exhibitors and 90,000 trucking professionals participating in the largest heavy-duty trucking event in the world. http://www.truckingshow.com/photo-gallery

Seegrid’s director of sales and marketing David Noble said, “The View solution answers the age-old question: How can we do better? “Our technology, which is built into the brand of lift trucks that end users rely on most, captures important information that can be used to optimize efficiencies. View puts vital data in the hands of management, and that data is power to improve the operation’s processes.”

Many companies can neither afford nor require all the bells and whistles of an enterprise-wide AGV (automated guided vehicle.) The robotic forklift solution is far more affordable and produces a rapid return-on-investment. The reduced labor costs means that full-time employees are reassigned to value-added work activities and reduced maintenance costs allow employees to perform routine maintenance and trouble shooting.

Robotic trucks are set up in hours rather than weeks or months, unlike AGVs (which require months of planning for implementation and installation.) The additional extensive IT Integration needed for AGVs often compromises the quality and compliance among the workforce. With no IT integration required and not facility modification required, robotic industrial trucks are often the better choice.

The feature is titled: Automated Guided Vehicles Compromise Quality: Robotic Industrial Trucks Better Solution.In the current issue of Brazil Quality magazine, supply chain best practices include a discussion that vision-guided robotic trucks are a better solution than expensive automated guided vehicle systems (AGVs), according to manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, especially when you do not need all the bells and whistles.

Rick LeBlanc is the editor of PackagingRevolution.net, which focuses on pallets and reusable packaging, including selection, management and industry news. The Reusable Packaging News covers reusable containers, pallet pooling news, returnable packaging product announcements and more. LaBlanc urged creating greater visibility for these products and related management services in the marketplace.

Lorie King Rogers, Associate Editor for Modern Materials Handling, recently profiled the new Seegrid solution: The View, an automated data collection tool.

According to DC Velocity staff reporters, The Raymond Corp. recently showed a prototype automated lift truck that uses Seegrid's vision-guided technology to move through a warehouse. The vehicle can operate either man-aboard or without a driver, changing from one mode to another in less than a second by the flip of a switch. The automated truck is designed to reduce labor costs by eliminating the need for people to make repetitive "milk-run" type deliveries within a facility, leaving them free to concentrate on more complex tasks.
