Vision-Guided Technology Offered on Yale Tow Tractor Guided by Seegrid

3/18/2014

ATLANTA (March 17, 2014) - Yale Materials Handling Corporation announced the Yale® MO50T tow tractor Guided by Seegrid® today at MODEX 2014. The new product showcased in the Yale booth (#6123) this week at the Georgia World Congress Center is a result of the relationship announced last week with leading vision-guided automated guided vehicle (AGV) manufacturer Seegrid®.

"Adding Seegrid's vision-guided technology to our already cost-effective MO50T provides another customizable materials handling solution that will boost performance and efficiency for our customers," said David McNeill, warehouse products manager for Yale. "The technology is easy to implement in existing warehouse applications and provides the versatility for the MO50T tow tractor to function as an AGV or in manual operator mode."

"Our teams worked together closely to create a superior product, and the integration of the Guided by Seegrid navigation system and the Yale® tow tractor is seamless," said Jeff Christensen, director of product development for Seegrid. "Our vision guidance technology provides a simple and affordable automation solution that Yale customers are going to love."

The Yale MO50T tow tractor Guided by Seegrid is simple to train and operate, and requires no additional infrastructure for navigation such as wires, laser targets or magnetic tape. An operator trains the vehicle by driving a desired route while programming selected behaviors. During training the vision system captures images of the environment and compiles the images into a three-dimensional map for route navigation. The vehicle can learn and store up to 25 miles of routes.

Customers can use the Yale MO50T tow tractor Guided by Seegrid to easily tow flatbed cars, trains or carts with payloads up to 10,000 lbs.
