Automated Guided Forklifts (AGFs) - Mobile Automation
An automated guided forklift (AGF) is a type of automated guided vehicle (AGV) specifically designed for use in warehouse and material handling environments. AGF’s are equipped with a forklift mechanism that can be used to lift and move materials, such as pallets or containers, around the warehouse. They are designed to follow a predetermined path, using sensors and other technologies to navigate and avoid obstacles. AGF’s can be programmed to move materials between different areas of the warehouse, such as between storage and production areas, and can be integrated with other warehouse management systems.
The AGF’s are typically used in large warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. They can help improve efficiency, increase productivity, and reduce labor costs by automating the transportation of goods within a facility.
The Case for Automation
Automation can help increase the productivity of an existing workforce by as much as 46%.
