摘要

In this first-ever inside look at the MACH3 razor factory, Gillette explains how a fleet of AGVs and a 3-aisle AS/RS have shaved materials handling steps. They have names such as Bladerunner and R2-Trac Ⅱ. No, they are not robotic creatures from Star Wars Episode One, but are instead the names of automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) that are the heart of the new just-in-time system at Gillette's South Boston manufacturing facility.
