ATS AB and Soft Design AB Strike A Partnership On The Development Of A Revolutionary 3D Laser Navigation System For Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV)
October 29, 2004 (Press Release) --
ATS AB and Soft Design AB have entered into a strategic partnership to develop a patent pending 3D laser navigational system for AGVs without the use of wall-mounted reflectors.
The agreement combines ATS’s unique 3D laser measuring technology and Soft Design AB’s AGV software development, marketing and sales capabilities. The new 3D laser technology will offer unrivalled precision and accuracy, and lower installation costs far beyond the limitations of the older triangulation laser navigation method released some 10 years ago.
"We are fortunate through our cooperation with Soft Design to have the opportunity to introduce this exciting new product into the world of AGV Systems and AGV Solutions," said ATS’s Managing Director Göran Bergqvist.
"The 3D Laser navigation system is truly a major advancement in material handling system technology, Soft Design have been appointed as the sole distributor within the AGV Industry and we are looking forward to working closely with ATS on this new joint venture,” said Soft Design’s Managing Director Erling Wessberg.
About ATS AB; www.ats.se founded 1988, are specialists in high technological based measurement instruments “Laser Scanners” with an office located in Gothenburg Sweden. For the past 15 years ATS has been well known and highly respected in Scandinavia for Laser Measurement Techniques. ATS is focused on laser based distance measurements in robotics and automation applications. In 1998 ATS gained their first experiences in 3D Laser Scanning. ATS’s new “3D Laser technology,” provides a major technical breakthrough in high precision measurement technology.
About Soft Design AB; www.softdesign.se founded in 1987, are specialists in “Automated Materials Handling” (AMH) and are located in Gothenburg Sweden. Soft Design, develops, markets and integrates AMH real time systems, in particular AGV and Warehouse control.
Soft Design can supply complete turnkey AGV solutions using our own in house designed controls software and standard PC104 AGV electronics. The systems are sold to small, medium and large-sized companies for a range of applications. Soft Design's products are highly efficient, scaleable and offer a matrix of possibilities; our combined wire/laser guidance solution is ideal for retrofits. Sales are made directly to end-users and through major partnership agreements.
The first 3D laser navigation demonstration will be available to view early 2005, if you are interested in a new AGV system, retrofitting your existing installation or forming a partnership please contact us Soft Design.
