Seegrid and Bastian Solutions Partnership Drives Affordable and Flexible Robitic Industrial Truck Solutions

Pittsburgh, PA -- (SBWire) -- 05/07/2013 --Bastian Solutions, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, is an independent material handling systems integrator dedicated to helping customers improve manufacturing and logistics operations. Founded in 1952, Bastian Solutions became an innovator in the field of material handling automation, supply chain software, industrial controls, and robotics.

Bastian Solutions recently announced it will work with Seegrid due to the extremely flexible form of automatic transportation required by Bastian Solutions’ clients as well as an extremely quick ROI, with little disruption to an existing facility.

Aaron Jones, Vice President of Bastian, shared, “Seegrid’s robotic industrial trucks provide flexible and affordable solutions to complement existing or new facilities that desire partial or full automation of non-valued added activities, without the limitations presented by similar technologies. The Seegrid robotic trucks can be productive on the first day of implementation and brought up to full capacity very quickly. This feature offers an outstanding ROI for the business owners who need to be flexible in their operations management.”

John Hayes, National Account Manager for Seegrid, was pleased about the new partnership and noted, “Seegrid is very happy to partner with Bastian Solutions. The innovation and dedication they bring to their customers is second to none; not just material handling but to all manner of business solutions. Their list of satisfied customers reads like a 'who's who' of industry. Bastian can bring to bear years of experience to companies both large and small and we are proud to have them as a partner.”

Seegrid fills a unique demand for clients who desire partial automation and improvement in lean processes. The flexibility of the Seegrid technology is paramount for the ever-changing demands in the current distribution and manufacturing environments. With more challenging delivery requirements, shorter contract durations, increasing client demands, and increased product variation, Seegrid robotic industrial trucks prove to be the right answer for more companies.

Jones added, “Bastian Solutions’ clients will appreciate the flexibility Seegrid offers and the immediate benefit to their operations. Bastian looks forward to implementing this technology to help our customers achieve their business objectives. Having access to the Seegrid technology allows Bastian Solutions an additional opportunity to bring flexible and competitive solutions to our customers for various applications.
