Fred Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are built for manufacturing, distribution, and warehouse facilities to improve worker productivity and safety around materials movement, especially Point A to Point B workflows. Barcoding, Inc. designs, manufacturers, and supports the production of our robotics solutions in our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania office.

For manufacturing, our primary automation workflows improve efficiency and safety around materials movement in: dock to production; end-of-line to shipping; and, assembly to in-line conveyance.

For warehouses; our primary automation workflows improve efficiency and safety around materials movement in: docks to racks; and, racks to shipping.

Fred is guided by magnetic tape and can carry a 2,500 lbs. load with up to 5,000 lbs. towing and has safety-rated scanners to avoid collisions. Built for those who “just want to get the job down”, Fred is easy to install and maintain.

“FRED allows our people to use their skills and training instead of just moving product back and forth. It’s amazing that this one robot can make our team so much more efficient and productive,” said the Director of Operations at Monarch Brands.
