Looking for the Simple Systems: We've all seen plants that have
a lot of floor traffic. Many plants don't even consider automating
just one repetitive move per day. An example of this could even be
trash pick-up. For these systems, a single AGC System can be
implemented for around $48,000.
So if a fork truck driver including benefits equals $40,000 per
year per shift and they are running two shifts (an AGC can easily
run for two 8-hour shifts). The payback could be around 7
months. Not to mention, this comparison does not take into
account fork truck maintenance which should make the calculation
even more attractive.
