ResinDek TRIGARD ESD ULTRA FOR HIGH-TRAFFIC ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS

ResinDek TRIGARD ESD ULTRA FOR HIGH-TRAFFIC ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS

To maximize the productivity of an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) or automatic guided vehicle (AGV) deployment, it's critical to create the optimal environment that allows the vehicles to perform at their peak. For that reason, Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products, LLC (www.resindek.com) created the TriGard ESD Ultra finish for its ResinDek engineered flooring panels. The TriGard ESD Ultra finish is ideal for high-traffic robotic applications characterized by highly repetitive movement patterns and defined travel paths.
