Material handling equipment company Crown Equipment Corporation<\/a> and JBT Corporation, a global solutions provider of technological systems and products, have formed a strategic collaboration in order to support customers seeking to maximize the benefits of material handling automation to achieve tangible, predictable return on investment (ROI).<\/p>\n

The association of these two proven technology leaders provides increased access to an expanding portfolio of automation capabilities to meet material handling needs today and in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the market has been buzzing about the potential of material handling automation, we have been working diligently to develop a practical approach for our customers to leverage automation-related technologies to solve operational challenges,\u201d said Jim Mozer, senior vice president, Crown Equipment<\/a>. \u201cPart of our approach is collaborating with the experts at JBT to accelerate the development of Crown\u2019s DualMode scalable and flexible automated solutions that are capable of multiple methods of operation, providing the support customers need as they transition through their entire automation journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

The automation expertise and insight JBT brings to the relationship will amplify and complement Crown<\/a>\u2019s ongoing research and development related to automation technologies. For example, the Crown<\/a> DualMode T tow tractor, which can switch between manual and automated operation, is an early result of this collaboration that is currently being piloted through Crown<\/a>\u2019s early adopter release initiative. It joins Crown<\/a>\u2019s growing automation solutions portfolio that includes the QuickPick Remote order picking system and the Crown<\/a> TSP Series turret trucks with Auto Positioning System.<\/p>\n

Also, they know that Crown<\/a> trusts JBT, which reinforces the trust they place in us. Ultimately, our work with Crown<\/a> will push the industry forward in a genuine way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
