Manutention
Déplacer, stocker et contrôler les matériaux à travers le site.
Material handling is the discipline of moving the right item to the right place at the right time with the least effort. It spans manual carts, forklifts, conveyors, AGVs, hoists and overhead systems — and the safety, ergonomics and software that bind them together.
Articles here help operations and engineering teams choose the right equipment for each flow, design safe pedestrian/vehicle interfaces, and balance capex against operating cost over a 10-year horizon.

À propos de manutention
What is material handling equipment?+
Any equipment that moves, stores, controls or protects materials — forklifts, pallet trucks, conveyors, AGVs, AS/RS, hoists, racking and packaging stations all qualify.
How do I improve material handling safety?+
Separate pedestrian and vehicle traffic with marked lanes and gates, use proximity sensors on AGVs, train all operators yearly, and track near-miss incidents — they predict serious accidents months in advance.
When should I move from forklifts to AGVs?+
When the same routes are driven repeatedly, when labour cost per shift exceeds AGV TCO over 5 years, or when accident rates push insurance premiums up. Typical break-even: 2-shift operations with 3+ fixed routes.
