Oh
hello students welcome to the lecture on
material handling and storage systems
and after this lecture we will be able
to learn the following objectives
understand the role of materials
handling in logistics define material
handling guidelines explain the
equipment and storage systems understand
the new-generation material handling
system explain the materials handling
efficiency explain the concept of unit
load understand the storage and
retrieval systems define the storage
principles
let us first talk about the material
handling the material handling is
important activity in the logistics
system the speed of the material flow
across the supply chain depends on the
type of the material handling equipment
and the sophistication in the system in
the logistics operation the material
handling system is designed in and
around the warehouse generally the
material handling operations are
performed in the warehouse unloading the
incoming material from transport
equipment moving the unloaded material
to the assigned storage place lift the
material from its storage place during
order picking move the material for
inspection and packing and load the
packages onto the transport vehicle
hello and welcome to premiere handling
solutions video series on material
handling today we answer the most
important question yet just what is
material handling the material handling
industry is essential and exciting
you have probably wondered how all the
products you have ever purchased got to
you in your first place the material
handling industry is responsible for how
these products are stored protected and
moved from one point in the supply chain
to the next all the way to your local
store or doorstep as products are
shipped across the globe one industry is
responsible for the safe delivery of
nearly every type of material product
and consumable the material handling
industry is one of America's largest
industries and it is growing fastest
companies are learning how to produce
their product quicker and in greater
quantities the material handling
industry is powered by a large variety
of equipment to power the supply process
storage equipment lifting equipment
conveyor belts and information
technology are all utilized to keep the
material handling industry functioning
and constantly evolving material
handling equipment
be divided into four different
categories handling and storage
equipment engineering systems industrial
transportation and bulk material
handling it is important to almost every
other industry and the entire global
economy that the material handling
process works properly if the material
handling industry just stopped working
it would cause a crisis worldwide
thankfully the material handling
industry is always becoming more and
more efficient at getting products to
their destination as quickly as possible
new technologies are presenting
possibilities that were never available
before making the material handling
industry a profitable opportunity for
employment as the industry prepares for
the challenges of today in the future
the material handling industry has
opportunities for those with expertise
in engineering production and operations
manufacturing administration logistics
inventory control supply chain
management systems integration marketing
and sales information technology
customer services and facility design
the material handling operations are
performed using manual mechanised or
computerized controlled material
handling equipment the mechanized system
shifts the fatigue to machine and brings
effectiveness to human efforts the
selection of the appropriate system
depends on the factors such as volumes
to be handled speed and handling product
characteristics weight size shape and
nature of the product hazardous
perishable crushable the investment in
the material handling system will be
sheer waste if it is not compatible to
the warehouse layout plan the layout
will create the obstacles for the free
movement of equipment and the goods the
mechanized equipment requires the space
for the free movement across the
warehouse they should have the
accessibility to storage area for
material loading and
unloading during storage and retrieval
the more sophisticated systems such as
robotics automatic storage and retrieval
and automatic guided vehicle systems are
used in semi or fully automatic
warehouses for speedy material movement
the important point in favor of
materials handling is that it helps
production depending on the weight
volume and throughput of materials
mechanical handling of materials may
become unavoidable in many cases
mechanical handling reduces the cost of
manual handling of materials where such
materials handling are highly desirable
definition of materials handling art
materials handling is the art and
science involving the Moving packaging
and storing of substances in any form
materials handling is the movement and
storage of materials at the lowest
possible cost through the use of proper
methods and equipment materials handling
is the moving of materials or product by
any means including storage and all
movements except processing operations
and inspection materials handling is the
art and science of conveying elevating
positioning transporting packaging and
storing of materials in one of the
definitions all the functions of
materials handling have been referred to
which are conveying elevating
positioning transporting packaging and
storing storage or warehousing is very
much a part of materials handling
materials handling uses different
equipment and mechanisms called
materials handling equipment these
long-distance movements of materials are
generally termed as transportation of
materials through various modes of
transport like road rail ship or air
transportation is generally excluded
from the scope of materials handling
however materials handling at the
workplace are an area which is drawing
greater attention after introduction of
concepts of machining cells fitted with
robotic handling devices the essential
requirements of a good materials
handling system may be summarized as
efficient and safe movement of materials
to the desired place timely movement of
the materials when needed supply of
materials at the desired rate storing of
materials utilizing minimum space lowest
cost solution to the materials handling
activities the functional scope of
materials handling within an industry
covers bulk materials as well as unit
materials handling bulk handling is
particularly relevant in the processing
mining and construction industries unit
materials handling covers handling of
formed materials in the initial
intermediate and final stages of
manufacture industrial packaging of in
process materials semi finished of
finished goods primarily from the point
of view of ease and safety of handling
storage and transportation
however consumer packaging is not
directly related to materials handling
handling of materials for storage or
warehousing from raw materials to finish
product stage let's discuss about role
of materials handling in logistics the
material handling has become a new
complex and rapidly evolving science for
moving material in and out of warehouse
many types of equipment and system are
in use depending on the type of products
and volume to be handled the equipment
is used in loading and unloading
operations for movement of goods over
short distances
the handling of material in warehouse is
restricted to unitized forms which
require smaller sized equipment however
for bulk handling of material at
logistics nodes such as shipyards ports
and airports different types of
equipment are used in warehouses
material handling operation is performed
at the following stages unloading the
incoming material from transport vehicle
moving the unloaded material to assign
storage place in warehouses lifting the
material from its storage place during
order picking moving the material for
inspection and packing loading packages
boxes cartons onto transport vehicles
the efficiency of material handling
equipment adds to the performance level
of the warehouse the internal movement
of goods has a direct bearing on the
order picking and fulfillment cycle
there is a scope for reducing labor and
enhancing productivity by emerging
technology in material handling a good
material handling system will enhance
the speed and throughput of material
movement through the logistics material
handling cannot be avoided in logistics
but can certainly be reduced to minimum
levels the productivity potential of
logistics can be exploited by selecting
the right type of handling equipment the
selection of material handling equipment
cannot be done in isolation without
considering the storage system
investment in the material handling
system will be sheer waste if it is not
compatible to the warehouse layout plan
the layout will create obstacles for
free movement of equipment and goods
resulting in poor equipment productivity
recent trends indicate preference for
automated system with higher logistics
productivity to enhance the
effectiveness of human energy in
material movement similarly good
material handling systems give you
control on productivity improving your
material handling system fuels a
stunning return on investment it makes
more sense than almost anything else you
can do by gaining control of your
warehouse you gain control of your
profitability effective material
handling systems creates savings that
helps directly to improve your bottom
line if your business relies heavily on
manufacturing warehousing storage or
distribution the potential savings are
perhaps your greatest opportunity let's
talk about equipment and storage systems
materials handling systems provide
transportation and storage of materials
components and assemblies material
handling activities start with unloading
of goods from delivery transportation
the goods then pass into storage onto
machining assembly testing storage
packaging storage and finally loading
onto transport design or selection of
the right material handling system is
one of the most important decisions that
a manager can make because of the
effects on the rest of the manufacturing
plant it affects the material flow and
the factory layout apart from the
initial capital cost for a new system
the consequences of any misjudgment in
material handling will have considerable
and long-term effects on operations in
recent years computer-based simulations
tools have been developed to simulate
material handling systems and their
effect on the manufacturing process
loading equipment is aimed at providing
the capability to load and unload
vehicles it is also referred to as
loading bay
meant the category can be divided into
products that provide access from the
loading bay to the vehicle and equipment
that moves the product from the loading
bay to the vehicle and vice versa
equipment that falls into the access
category are scissor lifts Goods lifts
dock levelers loading ramps doors dock
seals and vehicle restraints and
equipment that falls into the movement
category our pallet trucks conveyors and
forklifts trucks lifting and transport
equipment lifting and transport
equipment is used to move product around
the production facility from loading bay
to storage from storage to production
around production from production to
storage and from storage to loading bay
equipment that falls into this category
our forklift trucks order picking trucks
overhead cranes tower cranes and belt
chain and overhead conveyors material
handling designed for safe
transportation due to globalization of
the economies of many countries
companies all over the world are making
efforts to further expand their business
areas so the need for container
transportation is being increased and
container terminals should satisfy such
needs material handling function the
material handling function reflects on
the efficiency and speed of warehouse
operation which ultimately result in
elongated or compressed order completion
cycles material handling equipment
rational use storage equipment storage
equipment as the name suggests is used
to store materials components and
assemblies hello and welcome to premiere

thanks for watching and be sure to stop
back often to premiere handling
solutions blog as we run over more ways
to keep your warehouse running safely
and efficiently let's discuss about new
generation material handling system the
new generation material handling system
is highly automated system based on
latest technologies provided with
flexibility capable of changing its own
structure or function in response to
changes from manufacturing systems and
autonomous functions to enhance system
reliability such system is defined as mm
HS metamorphic material handling system
mm HS project was the 5th international
R&D project in IMS program and its was
to contribute to industries optimized
lifecycle of equipment produce a system
most suited to the global environment
and respect humanity through research
and development activities
mm edges project performed research and
development activities focusing on the
following four points first point is
lifecycle optimization second point is
environmentally conscious manufacturing
third point is user friendliness fourth
pointers contribution to global industry
productivity subjects and objectives of
mm HS project conceived from this
viewpoint are responsive responsive to
changes that may take place in
manufacturing technology and environment
type of product or material to be
handled work schedule and load flexible
capable of transforming itself and
altering its function
to meet any change in handling
requirements autonomous able to make
decisions on its own to enhance system
availability highly automatic
incorporated with next-generation
automation technology multifunctional
having such functions as assembling
packaging and disassembling besides
transporting let's talk about materials
handling efficiency finding the right
industrial supply company is vital to a
material handling company of any
description warehouses factories
manufacturers and other industries all
require regular stocks of supplies and
equipment if they have to get smaller
supplies like packaging materials from
one company spare parts from another and
heavy equipment from yet another it not
only takes the office staff away from
other duties it can slow down production
if one warehouse supply company carries
everything then your whole business
operates more smoothly the material
handling company uses new packaging tape
and boxes to pack up goods for shipping
essential warehouse furnishings include
shelving units pallet racks
and other storage units essential
equipment includes forklifts pallet
jacks and other moving equipment then
there are storage containers forklift
accessories ladders personnel lifts and
a host of other items all of them are
necessary for the smooth running of the
operation if you are less than happy
with the way your industrial or
warehouse supplies are being handled
find an online material handling supply
company that matches your material
handling
any means characteristics of materials
handling our package design product
packaging in standard configurations and
order quantities facilitates logistical
efficiency total weight can sometimes be
reduced by product or package changes
even when package design is not changed
products that weight out before cubing
out may offer special opportunities as
lightweight product can be top loaded to
take advantage of the empty cube without
substantially changing total weight or
transportation cost unitization
containerization unitization is the
process of grouping master cartons into
one physical unit for materials handling
or transport the concept of container is
ation includes all forms of unitization
from taping to master cartons together
to the use of specialized transportation
equipment communication the third
important logistical packaging function
is communication or information transfer
this function is becoming increasingly
critical to provide content
identification tracking and handling
instructions issues of application all
logistical operations are affected by
packaging utility from truck loading and
warehouse picking productivity to
transportation and storage cube
utilization materials handling the first
point is main contents basic handling
considerations logistical materials
handling is concentrated in and around
the warehouse a basic difference exists
in the handling of bulk materials and
master cartons there are several basic
principles to guide the selection of
materials handling processes
technology's merchandised systems
mechanized systems employ a wide range
of handling equipment the types of
equipment most commonly used are lift
trucks warlike Rider pallet trucks tow
lines tractor rail devices conveyors and
carousal x' semi automated systems
mechanized handling is often
supplemented by semi-automatic equipment
typical equipment utilized in semi
automated handling includes automated
guided vehicle systems computerized
sortation robotics and various forms of
lie Bragg's information directed systems
the concept of information directed
handling is relatively new and the
subject of a great deal of research and
development the concept is appealing
because it combines the control typical
of automated handling with the
flexibility of mechanized systems
information directed systems use
mechanized handling controlled by
information technology two common
examples of information directed
materials handling systems are RF
controlled equipment and light directed
operations special handling
considerations the primary mission of
materials handling is to facilitate
merchandise flow in an orderly and
efficient manner from manufacturer to
point of sale this section identifies
and discusses special ii pointers key
concepts and points materials handling
mechanized handling systems semi

tractor trailers third pointers issues
of application
investments in materials handling
technology and equipment offer the
potential for substantially improved
logistics productivity materials
handling processes and technologies
impact productivity by influencing
personnel space and capital equipment
requirements students shall understand
that materials handling is a key
logistics activity that can't be
overlooked let's talk about concept of
unit load a unit load is very often used
in the material handling of discrete
load materials a unit load is a
collection of materials so arranged and
restrained that it can be handled stored
and controlled as a single entity the
advantages of using a unit load are
amongst others the uniform handling and
uniform storage operations the reduced
burden on information and control
systems in addition unit loads allow
efficient macro external space
utilization since each load is the same
size and storage locations can be sized
to accommodate this unit load and the
loads can be packed tightly together
without gaps the disadvantages of using
a unit load are the cost of assembling
and disassembling the unit load and the
cost of the empty returnable container
handling or the disposal cost of
single-use containers in addition unit
loads can have inefficient micro
internal space utilization if the unit
loads can be completely filled up let's
talk about storage and retrieval systems
storage and retrieval systems provide
the combined function of handling and
storage the material examples are unit
load automated storage and retrieval
systems ASRs with store and retrieve
whole pallets mini load systems with
storage drawers micro load systems with
storage totes sometimes also called tote
stackers and carousal x' with extractors
and a-frame is an automated order
picking system used for high speed high
throughput order picking of small and
well packaged items there are some terms
that are used in storage principle these
terms are as temperature temperature is
very important when it comes to food
storage and you will often find lots of
thermometers around the storerooms the
ideal store room temperature is between
10 and 20 degree Celsius humidity
humidity is another thing that needs to
be considered in the storeroom the
humidity in the dry store areas should
be between 50% and 60% if the humidity
gets too high when the air cools it will
release this excess moisture in the form
of water droplets which end up covering
the walls and floor of dry storerooms
position position is also important when
storing stock particularly when storing
stock on shelves rotation stock rotation
is another important storage principle
stock rotation is where you put all new
stock to the rare or underneath already
stored stock so that existing stock is
used first now in the end let us
summarize what we have learnt in this
lecture all logistical operations are
affected by packaging utility from truck
loading and warehouse picking
productivity to transportation and
storage cube utilization a unit load is
a collection of materials so arranged
and restrained that it can be
stored and controlled as a single entity
