Seegrid Hires Sales Expert Gary Ensey to Grow US Western Region
Ensey will oversee Seegrid's Western region of the US.
PITTSBURGH, PA-Seegrid is growing. To accommodate this growth, the company hired Gary Ensey as regional sales manager and reports to Derek Roberts, Director of Sales. Ensey will oversee Seegrid's Western region of the US.
Ensey expressed his enthusiasm about joining the Seegrid team commenting, "The most exciting thing about joining the Seegrid sales team is the opportunity to sell a high-tech product into a mostly untapped market. The Seegrid technology lends itself to almost all markets and gives me the opportunity to sell our product into the various industries in need of automation. Seegrid's flexible AGVs give the customer a low cost, easy to install, and flexible alternative to other solutions. By freeing up the employee, it also gives the company better utilization of their workforce and reduces labor costs."
John Hayes, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, North America, explained why the dramatic staff increase is necessary noting, "We have seen a 350% increase in Seegrid robotic industrial truck orders year to date when compared to 2012. Also known as flexible AGVs, this extraordinary growth is proof the manufacturing sector has recovered. Material handling and distribution centers are expanding quickly because the demand for our products has never been stronger. We are adding talented and experienced staff to ensure the quality and customer care continues to be a hallmark of our company, our brand, and our reputation."
One of the elements for the Seegrid growth model is the "Try before you buy program." It allows potential customers to see how the Seegrid technology operates in their plants and distribution centers or warehouses, assuring that it is the right product every time. Seegrid has eliminated the guess work in selecting an AGV.

Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task
In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
