Low-cost AGV system replaces up to four forklifts
JBT developed the JayBoT AGV for operations that currently use up to four manual fork-lift trucks, and are just starting to automate material movement.
The main difference between the JayBoT and traditional AGV systems is that direct two-way communication and decision-making capability are incorporated into the vehicle, allowing JayBoT AGVs to communicate with each other, and other equipment, without the need for a system manager. This reduces the complexity of the installation, making this approach cheaper and easier to install.
JBT has also developed advanced natural environment navigation that typically requires no landmarks, such as reflectors, magnets or wires, to be installed in order for AGVs to operate.
