Wisconsin Lift Truck has won an order from Ariens Company in Brillion, Wisconsin, to provide Jervis B. Webb
Company’s SmartCart automatic guided cart (AGC) system.
The SmartCarts, joined with Ariens special assembly
fixtures, has increased production of the IKON riding
mowers by more than 60%.
With this upgrade, Ariens’ eight assembly stations provide
a stable and accurate production flow, coupled with real-time
productivity tracking. The SmartCarts allow Ariens to
improve employee ergonomics with adjustable height
controls while maximizing operator efficiency. By having the
SmartCart AGC automatically deliver the riding mower
to each station, the operator is no longer required to
manually push the assembly from station to station.
“One of the benefits Jervis B. Webb’s SmartCart AGCs offer is ultimate flexibility. Being able to customize and
quickly modify the guide path with minimal downtime adds value to the system,” says Ariens director of
manufacturing Jon Hanson. “Both
Wisconsin Lift Truck’s strong customer
support and Webb’s automated materials
handling expertise played a key role in our
decision to go with SmartCarts.”
