ADM to show the iCart for the first time!

Friday, September 18, 2009

iCart is a revolutionary new concept in automated materials handling. Among the first truly intelligent automated guided vehicle systems, it eliminates the need for forklifts and pallet trucks, providing a way of directly moving materials and goods free of operator involvement. Versatility and simplicity are key features of the iCart. It can pick and drop trolleys around stations totally automatically. A range of smart trolleys is also available, including some that incorporate powered roller conveyors to transport industry standard plastic bins directly to and from workstations.

The iCart has been designed to work in most environments involving multi-point delivery and pick up applications. Although capable of pulling half a tonne, it is only 1 metre long and the same width as a PC keyboard, allowing it to travel down narrow gangways in existing facilities.

It operates without user programming by incorporating adaptive software that utilises multiple wireless technologies. It is simple to implement and install and is the first product designed to run on TAG® Smart-Track, a system incorporating guidance and route information for AGV’s within interlocking floor tiles.

ADM Automation Ltd will be showcasing the iCart at the Logistics Link North exhibition, demonstrating the iCart in action on a 12m x 5m area adjacent to their stand.
