It is situation/need specific. But, most AGV systems that are out there are very expensive – and conveyers can be more inflexible at times. One must look at the specific situation and determine the best solution/counter measure to ensure flow at the best cost. There are simple AGV available, and, in a past life, I (we) actually built one ourselves. We decided to do this based on a simple/inexpensive one we saw being used in Japan and after asking the price of it decided we could build one for even less cost. We were not able to have the opportunity to use fully develop the prototype into production, but we were successful and did build it for significantly less than the “inexpensive” one we saw used in production in Japan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
