Giant Eagle SEES lower cost with Seegrid Robotic Industrial Trucks

For Giant Eagle, a full line grocery chain and warehouse storage company, lowering costs and increasing productivity is front and center all day, every day. Giant Eagle’s decision to partner with Seegrid to increase warehouse productivity and reduce selection and putaway times is a strategic advantage as they drive towards a “total flow through facility and zero-day distribution model.” Giant Eagle chose Seegrid, the industry leader in the new category of Robotic Industrial Trucks, vision guided industrial trucks that operate without a worker, to reduce costs per move, extend workforce productivity and build the company for the future. The results were nothing short of amazing: Giant Eagle reduced human travel from 750 miles per day to 250 miles per day, reduced manned-travel for putaway by 33% and increased hi-lift pallets per hour by 20%.

Seegrid is the leader in Robotic Industrial Trucks, a new category of vision guided industrial trucks that operate without a worker. Seegrid solutions optimize operations for the material handling industry.
