AUtomated Forklifts
Taking the operator out of the equation
You have more to move and fewer workers to make it happen. With robotic lift trucks, you can focus your employees where you need them most, control costs and help improve safety.
Today’s automated lift trucks operate without any added infrastructure and are unrestricted by fixed routes. This offers great flexibility, ease of use, and increased productivity. Automated lift trucks build a map of the facility and self-locate in real-time, navigating infrastructure-free and easily responding to unexpected obstructions.
Now’s the time to experience the innovative engineering of automated forklifts will improve productivity, minimize damage to products, and reduce operations costs up to 70%.
Taking On The Labor Shortage
When automating processes and calculating the associated payback, direct labor savings are obvious wins, with expenses like hourly wages, overtime and holiday pay rising to the top. But automation drives savings in other indirect ways to drastically reduce costs associated with:
- Retraining and re-education
- Insurance
- Workers compensation
- Lost time due to illness or injury
- Long-term wage increases
Protect Your People & Minimize Risk
Did you know that 70% of lift truck incidents can be attributed to operator error? And with operator turnover at 43% - great inexperience and incidents can be difficult to avoid.
Limit touches, human error and reduce potential product damage and costly incidents.
It's time to automate.
Automated trucks help address labor issues, control costs and drive greater efficiency
INNOVATION BEHIND ROBOTICS
What exactly makes automated lift trucks so revolutionary? It’s the innovative features that allow these automated forklifts to self-navigate through even the most convoluted warehouses with agility, adjusting to other equipment and workers.
While your staff performs high-level logistics tasks, the repetitive, simple tasks can be completed using automation. Quickly reduce operating costs up to 70% by leveraging automation technology.
Scalable Warehouse Solutions
Simply put, automated forklifts make it easy to maximize your warehouse efficiency. The architecture is flexible and scalable enough to meet your ever-changing operational demands.
Robotic technology is the smart choice for those who want to prepare their warehouse solutions for the future, while maximizing resources in the present.
AUTOMATE REPETITIVE TASKS
When Hyster or Yale lift trucks are equipped with robotic technology, your forklift is transformed into an automated solution, positioning you to:
- Reduce operator costs
- Increase operational efficiency
- Minimize damaged goods and accidents
- Infrastructure-free automation
- ROI in less than two years for two-shift operations
According to Material Handling and Logistics, automation will likely continue to become less costly, while wages and benefits for human workers will increase over time. Can you afford to miss out?
