New Jervis B. Webb training
Farmington Hills, MI, United States
Jervis B. Webb Company has announced a new training program to teach customers how to maintain and modify their SmartCart Automatic Guided Cart (AGC) systems without outside assistance. Currently, three courses are being offered as part of the Smart Handling University (SHU) program, with several more planned for the near future.
"One of the main benefits of our SmartCart AGCs is how easy they are to program and operate. Our SHU training program will teach customers how to care for and control their systems on their own," says Rob Schmit, president of Jervis B. Webb Company. "Taking these training courses will help reduce maintenance costs for our customers who are always looking to improve their knowledge about their SmartCart systems."
Courses run two to three days and include hands-on training. They are designed for technicians, maintenance workers and engineers and are held at Daifuku North America's demonstration facility in Wixom, Michigan.
