Handling Specialty's AGV can lift up to 200,000 pounds

摘要

Handling Specialty, an equipment manufacturer, had a gas compression industry-based client that needed a non-intrusive way to move massive gas engines around its manufacturing facility. Company engineers designed an easy-to-install solution: a rugged automatic guided vehicle (AGV) system that provides reliable tracking and guidance, flexible steering and synchronized lifting behavior. To simplify integration and data collection, Handling Specialty chose to outfit the operator-controlled system with sensing components from an industrial automation products manufacturer, particularly for factory automation and process automation applications.
