Autonomous Forklifts Take Off in Q3 2020 Due to the Pandemic According to Industrial Journalist TR Cutler

Autonomous forklifts are an ideal solution during the COVID-19 pandemic according to industrial journalist, TR Cutler. The recent issue feature in Automation.com can be read here. According to Cutler, driverless industrial vehicles are getting much attention now as a way to automate the processes of transporting, lifting, lowering, putting away, or retrieving loads without a human operator. 

Fewer than 2% of forklifts sold in North America are automated, yet there has never been a greater need for this technology. Many manufacturers are looking to automate material handling processes because it reduces the potential for COVID-19 exposure by reducing human contact. COVID-19 has made autonomous forklifts an immediate reality for small footprint manufacturing facilities. 

According to Nic Temple, VP of U.S. Sales at Global AGV, “Some of the key advantages of autonomous forklifts are critical during the pandemics. A single unit offers a dynamic flexibility, scalability, and reliability that may allow compliance with safety requirements avoiding contamination.  Automation reduces product damage and alleviates the ergonomic impact of repetitive, physically demanding tasks in today’s highly-complex manufacturing operations.
