【Highly Acclaimed Automated Guided Vehicle】In 2023, Industry Alpha Inc.’s Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) ranked No.1 in the Metoree Attention Rankings for four consecutive months.
Background for the Rising Attention on AGVs
The manufacturing and logistics industries are facing a serious labor shortage. Especially in Japan, where aging and workforce outflow are progressing, it has become difficult to maintain productivity with traditional manual labor, leading to challenges such as decreased productivity and increased costs.
On the other hand, advances in technologies such as sensors, cameras, and control systems have enabled the practical use of high-performance automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
As a result, replacing manual transportation tasks with AGVs and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) has made it possible to reduce labor costs and improve factory productivity.
