Pittsburgh, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/22/2013 -- Cisco-Eagle Material handling, automation, and storage systems experts provide solutions for the movement, storage, retrieval, control, and protection of materials. The material handling company enables clients to transport the correct amount of material to the right place at the right time and in the right sequence safely. Cisco-Eagle recently released a video of a Seegrid automated industrial truck, at the recent Open House and Automation Exhibit.

During the open house the Seegrid truck navigated a large warehouse, interacting frequently with attendees to demonstrate its route learning and safety features. Travel time is wasted time; the robotic truck is able to reclaim time without human guidance.
Unmanned robotic trucks free an employee from 45 minutes a day of travel time. The truck has a robust visual guidance system enhanced with safety sensors for consistently safe operation. The Seegrid truck learns multiple routes - up to 25 miles of information. By inputting pre-planned drop stops, selection stations, and return points, Seegrid trucks complete routes entirely without human guidance.
