In manual mode, it functions as a standard electric pallet truck. Semi-autonomous mode lets an operator engage the pallet, step away and let the unit handle transport and drop-off autonomously. Fully-autonomous mode requires no operator involvement, executing a variety of horizontal transport missions independently. Teams can run all three modes within the same operation, scaling autonomy task-by-task rather than committing to a single workflow. The ASC40 The ASC40 is an autonomous counterbalanced stacker that introduces hands-free vertical material movement for pallet staging, racking and line-side replenishment. A true robot with a 4,000 lbs. capacity, the ASC40 is optimized for autonomous operation only, with a compact footprint and the
