He agreed that many customers will phase them in by using them for select workflows, while using more conventional lift trucks for other tasks. Another steppingstone to use of fully automated trucks is to use semi-automated products such as semi-automated order pickers or turret trucks. A semi-automated vehicle still has an operator on board, but it also has warehouse navigation and sensing technology to obtain task and location instructions from a warehouse management system, Ardito said. It can automatically take…
