Transport and sorting work is performed by hand-pushed trolleys in factories and warehouses. In addition to costing labor and time, it is difficult to tell the time when the work will be completed. There are probably many businesses that have problems with it.
AGV (unmanned transport vehicles)
are attracting attention as it automates the transport work of pallet, racks, trolleys, and others, and greatly increases work efficiency.
In this article, we will introduce the AGV "Key Cart", whose positive track record is growing for Toyota Material Handling (Thailand) Co., Ltd. under the slogan "Easy kaizen at the transportation site!"
In logistics, medical care, manufacturing sites, etc., the transport of racks and goods was usually done manually by using wheeled carts like trolleys. Then the AGV (unmanned vehicles) came along. The popular type is the one that automatically travels on a pre-set course (magnetic tape) to transport goods. It automates tasks that used to rely on human hands to transport and sort, which greatly contributes to improving work efficiency and labor efficiency.

Among many AGV products, why Toyota's AGV "Key Cart" is chosen? It is probably because this AGV is full of "focus on convenience" that dispels the image of "expensive" and "difficult to set route/redirection".
