This question is more nuanced and complex than it might first appear. In this episode, we break this big question down into smaller ones, including: can the material handling system traverse the path the load needs to travel? Is the path fixed or variable? Do you need flexibility to travel between a wide variety of points or in-and-out of a manufacturing line? What is the impact if one station is offline? Do you need to maximize space utilization or maneuver into corners, along edges, around obstacles or fit into hard-to-reach spots? Are there obstructions or height restrictions to overcome? Let's ask all the questions now so we can make sure the system can handle your needs today and in the future.
