uTrack is the AGV system for automated material transport of loads from 5 to 200 tons. Thanks to the uTrack guided track system, even extremely long and wide loads can be moved precisely and safely. Its optimal field of application is pre- and final assembly, for example in the production of commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery, or energy storage systems. For many production planners, however, the key question remains: At what point does the use of an AGV system in assembly lines become economically viable? Maximilian Michels, Sales Director at SIEMPELKAMP Transport Systems, provides an overview of the key decision-making criteria.Interview with Maximilian Michels, Sales Director, SIEMPELKAMP Transport SystemsDepending on the production process, different conveying techniques make sense. Too much or too little flexibility reduces production efficiency and, conversely, increases costs. Rigid systems can no longer keep up with current trends toward increased product variance or...
