Discussion:
Autonomous and fully automated forklifts and other material handling vehicles

Hello, I would like to get some feedback on how the high level of automation can influence the material handling workflow. We have all the means to automate machines, like forklifts, etc.... , but there are very little discussions on what it means for manufacturing facilities with such AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and how to redefine their material flows and to account for the human factor. Please share your ideas.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
