Appendix 2Transbotics
Company Overview
Transboticsis one of approx. 10 key players in the US Automatic
Guided Vehicle (AGV)
market. Their designs can handle a very wide range of lift requ
irements –from light load
to heavy lift, fork‐style, tugger/tow, unit load/conveyor, heav
y load, assembly line and
engineered‐to‐order (custom) vehicle types
Location:
Single corporate head office and manufacturing facility in Charlotte, North Carolina (USA)
Staff:
Approx. 30
History:
Founded in 1982 as the North American affiliate of Kollmorgen(previously NDC)
Revenue
: Historical revenue has ranged from US$4.5m
to US$11.0m over the past five years
Applications:
Assembly line, custom, delivery of supply's, finished product, pallet handling, raw material handling, roll & coil handling, WIP movement
Industries:
Aerospace, automotive, food/beverage, manufacturing, print/paper, pharma/chemicals, plastics/PET, primary metals, tire & rubber
Strategic Fit
Back End Automation (i.e. packaging, internal logistics and dis
tribution) targeted as a
logical extension to Scott’s offering. >>
End‐to‐end offering
for the overall production process from raw materialreceipt to
final distribution –i.e. automation systems to package, store,
palletise and load trucks and
containers. >>
Alvey was the first step toward this goal
. An AGV business was also needed to sit
across these back end logistic activities. >> The
software
to seamlessly and effectively run this AGV hardware and to inte
grate
the AGVs within a wider factory/warehousing setting is also cri
tical.
While Transbotics has deep knowledge and involvement with the s
oftware to run the
AGV hardware, through the acquisition we expect Alvey will be a
ble to greatly
strengthen its capability to integrate the AGVs into a warehous
e management system
Strategic Rationale –Business Appeal
AGVs becoming
increasingly integral to
our product offering
