What Is Material Handling And Storage

Loose material materials can be liquid, food or mineral, such stones and rocks. Also, metal items like bolts and nails may be included.

Non-automated storage equipment is typically limited to those that are not automated. These items can be grouped with engineered systems. The storage equipment is used to store or buffer materials during periods of "downtimes", or when they are not being moved. These periods can be temporary pauses in long-term transport or long-term storage that allows stock to build up. Most storage equipment is made up of pallets, shelves, or racks on which materials can be stored in an orderly fashion to allow for transportation or consumption. Many companies have developed proprietary packaging to help products or materials of a particular type conserve space in their inventory. This has allowed them to increase efficiency in storage equipment.

Material handling refers to the movement, storage and control of materials, goods, and products during the manufacturing, distribution, consumption, disposal, and recycling processes. Material handling is responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of equipment and services necessary to create material handling system. These systems include pallet racks, shelving, conveyors, and automated systems.
