Material Handling And Storage Systems Llc

When designing a material handling system, it is important to refer to best practices to ensure that all the equipment and processes—including manual, semi-automated and automated—in a facility work together as a unified, system. By analyzing the goals of the material handling process and aligning them to guidelines, such as the 10 Principles of Material Handling, a properly designed system will improve customer service, reduce inventory, shorten delivery time, and lower overall handling costs in manufacturing, distribution and transportation. These principles include:

5. Unit load: To reduce the amount of walking and effort required to get from one warehouse to another, use units like containers and pellets.

Engineered systems are a collection of units that work together to allow storage and transport. They can be automated. An example is the Automated Storage and Retrieval System. It's a large, automated organization that has racks and shelves. The shuttle system is either a fully-automatic or manual cherry picker that can quickly find a storage item and retrieve it for you.
