Case Study: Guardian Industries achieves increased safety and productivity with Seegrid Palion AMRs

Guardian Industries - Customer Case Study

Guardian Industries, a global automotive components manufacturer with a 400,000 sq. ft. Evansville facility, faced high risk from pedestrian–forklift interactions, lean waste, and the need for repeatable, flexible processes to support changing production requirements. To address safety, labor reallocation, and operational flexibility, Guardian Industries turned to Seegrid for autonomous material handling solutions.

Seegrid deployed Palion Tow Tractor AMRs along with Supervisor fleet management and Fleet Geek analytics (powered by Seegrid IQ autonomy), providing 24/5 automated material delivery, hands-on deployment support, and operator training. The Seegrid solution increased safety and reliability, reduced operational costs and non-value-added work, improved 5S cleanliness, and enabled labor upskilling—delivering a return on investment in under 24 months and positioning Guardian Industries to scale AMRs across additional facilities.
