Bad Times Need Good News
Under the banner “Bad Times Need Good News”, E&K Automation GmbH, the European leader in Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) systems, has pioneered a new concept designed to slash the planning and commissioning costs of driverless AGVs by as much as 50 %. Called the E&K System 300, the new idea unites sales, planning and commissioning with a rigorous modular design approach to achieve the savings. Real world results confirm that combining System 300 with a variety of different E&K vehicles leads to extremely cost- effective solutions for applications where automated material transport systems have not yet been used successfully.
