Bastian Solutions Joins Daifuku Automatic Guided Cart Resellers

Jervis B. Webb Company, a subsidiary of Daifuku North America Holding Company and a provider of material handling solutions, has confirmed that Bastian Solutions will join its growing network of SmartCart Automatic Guided Cart (AGC) Value Added Resellers (VARs). Bastian Solutions is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Bastian Solutions is well known as an independent system integrator helping customers increase productivity through automation, information systems and sound operating procedures. Bastian Solutions was recently named number 19 on Modern Materials Handling Top 20 Systems Supplier list for 2015.

Bastian Solutions president Aaron Jones said: “Daifuku North America’s SmartCart AGC is a durable, cost-effective solution for transporting a range of products in both manufacturing and distribution facilities. The AGCs can also be quickly installed and easily modified as operations expand or change. With these benefits, it was an easy decision to join the Jervis Webb VAR program. We are excited to offer such a robust solution to our clients and look forward to working with the entire Daifuku North America team in implementing world class automation systems.”

SmartCart Automatic Guided Cart sales have steadily risen over the past decade due to its affordability and flexibility. It is guided by magnetic tape, which allows users to quickly install or modify the guide-path.

SmartCart AGCs are ideal for moving products on an assembly line or transporting goods throughout a plant or warehouse. As they’re automatic and durable, SmartCarts provide reliable and consistent point-to-point movement of everything from small parts to heavy pallets.

“We are excited to welcome Bastian Solutions as the latest addition to our VAR community. Its strong customer support and material handling industry expertise will be a tremendous asset,” said Rob Schmit, president, Jervis B. Webb Company.
