Do New Technology Developments Presage a Renewed Opportunity for use of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)?

To this point, the market war between traditional material handling equipment, such as fork trucks and pallets jacks, and automated guided vehicles has been a route. AGVs are hardly a blip in the total materials handling market, and even less so outside of manufacturing environments.

Watch Dan Gilmore, editor of Supply Chain Digest, and Scott Friedman of Seegrid Corp. in a fast-paced discussion on why AGVs have not worked well to date in distribution, what changes are needed to alter the status quo, and how new technology combined with growing labor costs just might lead to a turn in the battle long lost by AGVs.

Is it time for "robotic industrial trucks?"

We explore these and other issues in this fast paced interview.
