…out exactly what skills are needed to create an AGV, while honestly evaluating what your team is capable of. Does your team have the skills required to automate a vehicle? Even if you have all the required knowledge in-house you might still want to build out a larger team, because if you have only a single point of knowledge for your AGV project, it could grind to a halt if that team member leaves. And while your team may have all the skills to handle the complex mechatronics work involved, that does not mean they have the time to do…
