Dear Sirs,

We are researching at the University of Oulu the use of Automated 
Material Handling Equipment in electronic industry. We are mainly 
interested in automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS).

There is no AGVS in use in electronic industry in Finland. To do our 
research work, we would like to get infomation about AGVS already in 
use in electronic industry.

Which companies produce AGVS suited to electronic industry?

Which companies produce components of AGVS suited to electronic 
industry (carries, guidence system)?

Where AGVS put into operation are in operation now (factories)? In 
what kind of production are AGVS in operation usually (manufacturing 
volume per shift, dimensions of manufactured product)?

It would also be very important to know which is the delivery price and 
operation costs of the basic AGV -system in electronic industry 
(estimations !!!).

We would be very grateful to you for all kinds of information about  
AGV -systems in electronic industry.

Thank you for your answer!

With best regards
