Start of distribution of materials explaining AGV transportation methods.
We distribute various content related to Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and are offering a free document summarizing essential knowledge that you may be hesitant to ask about. We often hear from customers considering automation with AGVs that they are unsure about which one to choose. In the foundational knowledge document we are distributing this time, we provide four examples of purposes for implementing AGVs and recommend suitable transportation methods for each purpose. By clarifying the objectives of automation, it becomes easier to select the AGV that fits your company. Additionally, we include "six points" to check in advance when introducing AGVs. By understanding these elements, you can proceed smoothly with your consideration of AGV implementation. Feel free to download it.
