Seegrid Celebrates 2 Million Autonomous Miles Driven Without a Single Personnel Safety Incident

Seegrid , the leader in self-driving industrial vehicles for materials handling, today announced that its vision guided vehicles (VGVs) reached two million production miles at customer sites without a single personnel safety incident.

PITTSBURGH, PA - August 28, 2019 - Seegrid , the leader in self-driving industrial

vehicles for materials handling, today announced that its vision guided vehicles (VGVs)
reached two million production miles at customer sites without a single personnel safety
incident. Having reached one million miles just over one year earlier, in April 2018 , the
two million milestone is also a marker for the company's rapid growth.

"We are incredibly proud that our VGVs autonomously drove an additional one million
miles in just 506 days," said Seegrid CEO Jim Rock. "Our safety record speaks to our
commitment to moving material as safely, effectively, and efficiently as possible with
unmatched technology, expertise, and passion."

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reported nearly 40,000
serious accidents and one fatality per week related to manually-driven forklifts in 2018.
With a committed focus to improving workplace safety, organizations are turning to
automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) like Seegrid
VGVs, which excel at routine and repetitive tasks, work seamlessly alongside human
coworkers, and mitigate safety risks associated with human forklift drivers.

Seegrid Vision, the company's proprietary, proven, and unique navigation technology,
combined with redundant safety systems, is fundamental to Seegrid's ability to deliver
on safety requirements and provide reliable and flexible material movement. Using
stereo cameras, sophisticated algorithms, and machine learning, the patented
technology enables VGVs to see and process more information about the environment
than laser-based navigation systems. By collecting more comprehensive information,
and then prioritizing and filtering data, Seegrid VGVs uniquely and dependably deliver
autonomous material flow in dynamic, real-world operations.

Seegrid vision guided vehicles increase operational efficiency alongside human workers
in complex environments for Amazon, General Motors, Whirlpool, Jaguar Land Rover,
and other global leaders in manufacturing, distribution, and e-commerce fulfillment.
