Material Handling And Storage Systems Jennings

Storage and handling equipment secures your goods while they aren’t being used or waiting for the next stage in the supply chain process.

Storage equipment is usually limited to non-automated examples, which are grouped in with engineered systems. Storage equipment is used to hold or buffer materials during “downtimes,” or times when they are not being transported. These periods could refer to temporary pauses during long-term transportation or long-term storage designed to allow the buildup of stock. The majority of storage equipment refers to pallets, shelves or racks onto which materials may be stacked in an orderly manner to await transportation or consumption. Many companies have investigated increased efficiency possibilities in storage equipment by designing proprietary packaging that allows materials or products of a certain type to conserve space while in inventory.

According to your warehouse's needs, storage and handling equipment may keep materials in place for short or long times.

Engineered systems or automated solutions are those that use technology to store and transport goods.

1. Planning: Develop a clear plan that will guide your material handling process. It should be clear what materials will go where, what equipment will use and how they will be transported.
