Custom Solutions

Our team is here to create products that solve your unique needs. Whether it builds upon an AGV or is a completely customized solution, our goal is to support your facility in all its efficiency and safety demands.

Automated Guided Carts

The Automated Guided Cart (AGC) is a wireless, self-driving cart that tows bins holding up to 1 ton of parts from station to station without direct human interaction. Developed with Ignition Industrial Software, our traffic control system communicates wirelessly to our AGC as it travels along magnetic tape throughout your facility. Designed and manufactured in the United States, this versatile tow-cart streamlines material handoffs in the lean factory.

  • Increases Material Handling Efficiency and Safety

    Our AGCs not only decrease labor costs but also eliminate the need for forklifts on your production floor, preventing collisions and fatalities.

  • Off-the-Shelf Industrial Components

    With a reliable engineering design our AGCs have high-load capacities, independent suspension, and heavy-duty steel frame. Using off-the-shelf components, the maintenance team never has to wait for proprietary replacement parts.

  • Managed By On-Board Traffic Control System

    Our AGCs are guided by magnetic tape adhered to the floor and RFID technologies that set the cart’s path. Running off a wireless machine network with an onboard PLC, the AGC communicates with the traffic control system.

  • Customizable Options

    AGC technology has been used to create custom solutions for customers on an individual level. Complete Automation Resource works with each company to find solutions that perfectly fit their unique needs.

Stackers and Palletizers

Crates are automatically scanned, identified, rotated and sorted as they are conveyed to the stacker modules. The Stacker Module will then stack crates vertically and transfer them onto a pallet as complete stacks. Empty Pallets arrive at the system via an Automatic Guided Vehicle, which will be dispensed by the pallet dispenser module one at a time. As full pallets of specific product types arrive at the Palletizing station, the Stacks are then Pushed directly onto pallets.

  • Integrates Seamlessly

    The option to use the conveyor belts already in a customer's space allows for seamless transition into an existing footprint

  • Stacking and Sorting

    Sorts and scans different product types, with vertical buffer accumulation, and palletizes returnable crates.

  • Customizable

    Crate sizes and contents are fully variable and will be adjusted to customer specifications.
