Material handling

Het verplaatsen, opslaan en sturen van materialen door de 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.
