Mike Kotzian of Kivnon USA Talks Critical Need for AGV Product Delivery by Q3 2022

Mike Kotzian, Managing Director of Kivnon USA, the leader in developing, designing, producing, and distributing automated guided vehicles (AGVs), recently discussed how ROI is dependent on calculating the date of delivery and installation. The recent article can be read in The Manufacturing Report magazine here

Kotzian noted, “So much emphasis has been placed on features, advantages, and benefits; too little attention has been paid to delivery dates. The best automation solution on paper means nothing if it cannot be delivered in 2022.  Selling the sexy sizzle of new, clever, even remarkable AGVs means nothing if manufacturers and distribution centers cannot take delivery of the product until 2023. Throughout industrial manufacturing and distribution the lead time from many AGV manufacturers is more than a year.  That means product ordered in Q1 2022 will not be delivered until the following year. That is an absurd lead time and reflects poor planning and unnecessary supply chain constraints.”  

According to Kotzian, solving the immediate challenges in production by delivering product in Q3 2022 and mitigating the hiring constraints plaguing industrial HR managers are top priorities.

Kivnon will be exhibiting at MODEX 2022 in Atlanta from March 28 – 31 at Booth #C5488.
