In response to changes in business and customer demands, and to provide more work-life balance for employees, DSC Logistics is exploring new options for shift schedules in logistics center operations.

In partnership with a Fortune 500 customer, DSC Logistics will pilot the use of AGVs, automated vehicles that travel between destinations without a human operator. At a large plant buffer location that receives product from a manufacturing site via a conveyor belt, the AGVs will travel the length of the facility, pulling product on tugger carts from the conveyor to the storage location.
