 Completely Integrated Pallet Handling Solutions

At JBT Corporation we provide more than products – we provide solutions. We will gladly accept the
role of integrating our AGV system with other equipment and software to deliver a complete pallet
handling solution.

Simulations
To ensure all pallet movements are seamlessly coordinated,
JBT Corporation can create a computer model of the material
flow to simulate actual operation and accurately predict what
can be expected from the AGV system.

Software
Our SGV Manager software which controls and monitors the
AGV system, can communicate with production, ERP and
warehouse management (WMS) software to determine the
pallet movement requirements and track materials.

Plant Equipment
JBT Corporation AGV systems can interface with many
different types of plant equipment including palletizers, stretch
wrappers, ASRS systems, conveyors & racking. Sensors
onboard the vehicles allow for communication with plant
equipment, and ensure smooth transfer of pallets between the
AGV and fixed equipment.
