Means to hold position of lift carts prior to robot docking.

Add magnets to the legs of the pallet dollies to hold them in place when they are parked at endcaps

The pallet dollies are the same width as the pallet racking and the legs of the carts match up with the legs of the racking. In some cases if the aluminum carts had magnets mounted to the legs, then the carts would stick to the racking just enough to hold the cart in place. For example when we are doing dunnage removal, the cart would stay put when people throw boxes into the gaylords.

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved

The pallet dollies have nice casters that roll very easily. The dollies consequently roll away if there's any slope to the floor at all. It makes it hard to keep the carts parked where they need to be parked so that Vector can pick them up.

Quantify the problem/opportunity

It's great for all customers who have recylcing, trash, or pallets.

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity

Great casters
