Hy-Tek Material Handling<\/a> and Advanced Handling Systems (AHS), a Hy-Tek<\/a> company, recently opened an updated 20,000 square-foot innovation lab.<\/p>\n

Among the audience were Mayor Jessica Fette, customers, prospects, and other local government officials. Located in Erlanger, KY, the event was held in tandem with the Package Fulfillment, Logistics and Delivery Expo being hosted yesterday and today in Cincinnati, Ohio.<\/p>\n

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear congratulated Hy-Tek<\/a> | AHS and thanked the company leaders for their commitment to the commonwealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we work toward building an economy that works for all Kentuckians, high-tech job opportunities will play an increased role in those efforts,\u201d Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment by AHS and Hy-Tek<\/a> is creating quality jobs in Northern Kentucky and supporting distribution and logistics growth, which is one of our state\u2019s thriving key industries. Thank you to the company leaders for their commitment to the commonwealth. I look forward to seeing what\u2019s next for AHS and Hy-Tek<\/a> in Kentucky.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Hy-Tek<\/a>\u2019s unveiling of the Innovation Lab comes a new evolution in how we serve our customers,\u201d said Dave Tavel, Sr. Vice President of Sales at AHS.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future of our industry will rely on the emerging technologies that we integrate, test, and evaluate within our lab. We are continuously reviewing new and better ways to solve our customers\u2019 challenges. It is an exciting time for our industry as the demands for quality and speed increase; the need to utilize robotics will be commonplace. Our focus will be on supplementing the existing labor force, reducing the physical demands of the jobs, and driving quality for the industry. The next 50 years begin today!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hosting over 25 customers and prospects throughout the last six months, the lab features warehouse robotics systems that solve many pain-points companies are facing today. These technologies include autonomous mobile robots, collaborative robotic arms, robotic sortation solutions, full-scale Goods-to-Person systems, and more to come in the future as the companies\u2019 partnerships and innovations continue to expand.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur strategic journey to focus on innovative technology started over four years ago,\u201d said Zac Boehm, Vice President of Innovation and Technology at AHS.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout those years, we have researched many different robotics manufacturers and aligned ourselves with technologies that make a difference to our current and future customers. By building a focus around Exotec, Caja, and Tompkins Robotics, we can work through proving and pairing solutions together in our innovation lab to show the value to the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
