O U S I NG Imasen Bucyrus Technology, Inc. Bucyrus, Ohio Five SmartCart AGCs vehicle system transport racks of parts to assembly lines. Racks of painted parts are exchanged for empty racks at the paint line, while subassemblies are also transported to other work cells. Optical communications are employed by the work stations to tell AGCs what needs to be done, while the CMS system performs all trafc management responsibilities. This system was a cost effective replacement for an AGV system. Model: No. of AGCs: Operational: System Type: Guide Path: System Active: Load: Communication: Battery...
