Seegrid Corporation has updated its automated tow tractor range with the launch of the Seegrid Palion Tow Tractor Series 8.

This upgraded tow tractor features enhanced Smart Path technology, increasing the robotic fleet's ability to comprehend and make decisions while safely and reliably moving material in dynamic, high-traffic facilities.

Advances in Seegrid's artificial intelligence allow Palion AMRs to see, understand and learn using the company's proprietary vision system.

The release of the new Palion Tow Tractor builds on Seegrid's track record of delivering proven mobile automation technology that boosts both productivity and safety, and is the latest in Seegrid's expanding product portfolio and capabilities. This year, Seegrid upgraded its Palion Pallet Truck, and premiered its first autonomous lift truck, Palion Lift AMR. This follows the recent formation of the company's research and development group, Blue Labs, an in-house innovation acceleration team fully dedicated to identifying new technologies to further Seegrid's strong technical advantage.

"We are proud to continue delivering on Seegrid's decades-long commitment to innovation and safety as the market leader in robust mobile automation," says Seegrid CEO Jim Rock. "Seegrid has an unstoppable focus on providing the most advanced, reliable, and holistic AMR solutions to help our customers safely increase productivity and remain competitive."
