Seegrid Predicts Growth in Use of Automated Guided Vehicles

For Seegrid Corp. — the Pittsburgh-based manufacturer of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for warehouses, factories and other industrial applications — 2013 was a record-breaking year. But that is just the latest in a series of sales growths that the company has experienced, according to Amanda Merrell, Seegrid’s marketing director.

“AGVs are becoming the solution of choice for companies seeking to boost productivity, reduce cost and improve the overall safety on the floor,” Merrell said in a news release. “With AGV technology advancements providing increased flexibility and simplicity, I am confident the AGVS industry will continue to expand.”

Last year, Seegrid’s sales hit $140 million, an increase of more than 39% over 2012. The company installed 1,047 vehicles in 182 systems.
