No Risk Automation Magazine Suggests Experience in Material Handling Solutions Required for AGV Selection

Monroe, NC -- (SBWire) -- 08/27/2014 --The August 25th issue of No Risk Automation, a weekly e-news publication, suggested that the engineering team is not required to select AGV automation; years of AGV industry experience and understanding custom material handling solutions for customers is essential. Too often the emphasis of engineering services detracts the overall project and layout analysis and development of customized tooling options.

This week’s No Risk Automation newsletter also discussed a simple investment formula to compare the costs of AGV systems. The formula calculates the cash value of savings from the AGV, divided by the cash value of extra costs (compared to the old system) plus the difference in initial outlay (which sets the cash value difference of the extra costs and the cash value difference of the initial outlay against the savings).
