Automated Guided Vehicles Improve Reliability, Efficiency and Safety for Arnott's Biscuits

Australia’s largest and most quintessential biscuit brand, Arnott’s, has introduced six Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) from Dematic to increase manufacturing productivity and reliability at its head manufacturing plant in Virginia, Brisbane, Queensland.
The AGVs work systematically to carry large pallets of product from end-of-palletising stations to drive-in storage racking areas. From there the AGVs take the pallets to handover stations where forklifts transport them to manufacturing lines. The overall process of using the AGVs increases reliability, with the AGVs capable of working non-stop 24/7 every day of the year. This is in addition to improving efficiency and accuracy of operations, thereby minimising mistakes and workplace accidents which provides significant improvements in occupational health and safety standards.
