Common AGV Applications
Automated Guided Vehicles can be used in a wide variety of applications to transport many different types of material including pallets, rolls, racks, carts, and containers. AGVs excel in applications with the following characteristics:
- Repetitive movement of materials over a distance
- Regular delivery of stable loads
- Medium throughput/volume
- When on-time delivery is critical and late deliveries are causing inefficiency
- Operations with at least two shifts
- Processes where tracking material is important

Famous quotes containing the word common:
“A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
