The modern warehouses and industries demand next-gen material handling equipment and solutions that not only help in reducing labor cost but also help in achieving environmental efficiency. This is why the automated guided vehicle is becoming an ideal choice for industrial sectors. A conventional automated guided vehicle is being redesigned to address the transforming requirements, backed by technological advancements. A modern automated guided vehicle is, therefore, expected to offer improved scalability, reliability, and high performance. Utilizing Green Energy to Power Next-gen Automated Guided Vehicle Leading industries and production facilities are opting for green technology to foster their goal of achieving environmental efficiency by reducing environmental footprint. The choice of industrial equipment and machinery for modern plants and sites is heavily relying on the green energy factor. Konecranes Gottwald, a recognized provider of mobile harbor cranes and automated guided vehicle recently supplied 25 units of a lithium-ion battery powered automated guided vehicle to Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA), replacing CTA’s existing first-generation automated guided vehicle which was powered by diesel. These automated guided vehicles are unmanned and controlled through software, providing efficiency between the stack yard and harbor quay in large container terminals. The lithium-ion technology enables faster charging and the use of green energy helps in transporting containers between a yard and the ships without the emission of harmful gases, thereby boosting sustainability at the workplace. Aluminum Production Industry to Benefit from the New Product Mobile and stationary equipment manufacturer, Mecfor introduced one of its most innovative products, an automated guided vehicle designed wholly designed to cater to the aluminum production industry across the world. Designed to facilitate in complex environments, this new automated guided vehicle overrides challenges such as temperature variation, dust, magnetic fields, and continual worker interactions.
