Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Seegrid Corp. seegrid.com brings robotic vision-guided technology to the material handling industry. The Seegrid hiring expansion recently continued with a new Director of Quality. The hiring was the natural and necessary progression, especially with respect to the recent partnerships with Raymond Corp. and Linde Material Handling. These two leading industrial truck manufacturers worldwide have captured the top two market share positions in the industry. Seegrid has entered into a rapid growth period to meet the demands of its OEM partners and its ever-growing, material handling client base.

Many companies can neither afford nor require all the bells and whistles of an enterprise-wide AGV (automated guided vehicle.) The robotic forklift solution is far more affordable and produces a rapid return-on-investment. The reduced labor costs means that full-time employees are reassigned to value-added work activities and reduced maintenance costs allow employees to perform routine maintenance and trouble shooting.

Seegrid is proud to participate in one the largest expositions for manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the Americas in 2012; Seegrid will be a significant part of MODEX 2012 in Atlanta, GA February 6 – 9th, exhibiting at booth 3100. To view a one-minute video about Seegrid, go to www.modexshow.com/attendees/youroneminute.aspx video link. Registration is required to vote for the video. MODEX is designed to offer supply chain efficiency solutions, learning opportunities and information by showcasing the products and services of exceptional companies, like Seegrid.

Unlike the costly AGV solutions, the robotic industrial trucks require no facility change; they were set up in less than one hour at YUSA. There is also less manual labor, controlled travel speeds and a system driven workflow that promotes consistent safe behavior.

In 2011, Seegrid announced partnerships with Raymond Corp and Linde Material Handling to bring Guided by Seegrid driverless robotic vehicles to the material handling industry. Guided by Seegrid robotic vehicles will be sold, serviced and supported by their respective Original Equipment Manufacturer.
