Automated Material Handling Systems & Equipment for Material Movement: AGV Applications |
The FMC Technologies Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Product Line fully addresses the material handling and material movement needs of all of the primary application industries that use AGVs including Automotive, Commercial Print, Chemical, Hospital, Food/Beverage, Newspaper, Pharmaceutical, Paper, Manufacturing, Warehouse/Distribution Center and many other industries. Our automated material handling equipment reduces manual intervention and labor, thus proving efficient in some of the tedious task of material handling and movement.
Common applications for our AGV systems and automated material handling equipment include the following material movements:
1. raw materials from receiving to the warehouse
2. parts from the warehouse to the assembly line
3. work in process through manufacturing cells
4. packaged goods from palletizer to stretch wrapper
5. palletized goods from the stretch wrapper to storage/shipping
6. finished goods from the warehouse to shipping
7. finished goods into trailers (trailer loading AGV) for shipping

Although the successful FMC Technologies AGV applications are very diverse, all of these AGV applications have a few things in common.
First, meeting the project return on investment goals is an absolute requirement. This is consistently done by FMC Technologies because we are committed to bringing the AGV project in on time and within budget. Second, every item delivered or material handling done precisely by our AGV system needs to arrive at the right place, at the right time, just in time, every time. That’s why FMC Technologies is so serious about their AGV material handling systems' reliability, maximizing vehicle uptime, and providing unmatched AGV support.
Even though you may not see your exact material handling application specified on these web pages, you can be sure that FMC Technologies has experience that will help us understand your goals and knowledge that will help us allow you to consistently achieve those goals.
