Pittsburgh, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/29/2012 -- Seegrid technology can transform industrial vehicles into unmanned, automated pallet trucks and tow tractors that operate without a need for wire, tape, laser or other automated guided vehicle guidance systems.

Seegrid joined the American National Standards Institute, a federation that represents more than 125,000 companies and well over 3.5 million professionals. Under the Institute's umbrella, this diverse constituency works together to strengthen the competitiveness of businesses operating in the global marketplace and to improve the quality of life for all citizens by developing, implementing, and promulgating voluntary consensus standards and related conformance assessment systems.

"Active participation in ANSI and its programs can serve as both a strategic and tangible asset for an organization," said Brian Meincke, the Institute's senior director of membership development, membership marketing, and industry outreach. "Not only will they gain access to information and business intelligence that is not available elsewhere, but they will also receive discounts on many products and services. Equally important, they can build relationships that empower them with a voice and influence over the standardization and conformity assessment decisions that directly affect their business."

Seegrid offers a robotic forklift solution which 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.
