…LaFevers, Hyster. Source: LinkedIn For example, a robotic tow tractor can be used in a variety of time-intensive cart and product hauling duties, such as sequencing of parts, moving parts where they need to be when they need to be there to keep finely-tuned production lines moving. They can also be deployed for trash runs, collecting waste throughout the shop floor. Likewise, a robotic counterbalanced stacker can be used to automate common pickup and drop-off horizontal transport jobs, like picking up loads from elevated pallet conveyors on stretch wrapper and palletizing lines and then transporting them to outbound staging. Yale…
