It is important that you refer to best practices when designing a material-handling system. This ensures that all equipment and processes, manual, semi-automated, and automated, in a facility are working together as a single system. The 10 Principles of Material Handling will help you to design a system that meets your customer's expectations. These principles include:
9. Automation: Use automation to automate warehouse processes, such as picking or retrieval, in order reduce costs and improve employee productivity.
Our projects include: automatic systems, ASRS (automated stock and retrieval), archive shelf, boltless storage, boltless shelving. Cantilever rack. Conveyor systems, dock leveler. High density storage. Loading dock equipment. Locks. Mezzanines. Mobil office.
Material handling is essential for your warehouse operation. It ensures that you have a standardized process for handling products and moving them from manufacturing to distribution.
2. Standardization: Standardize equipment and processes to produce predictable results. So, if you have boxes of the exact same size, your team must anticipate future changes to box sizes. This will allow you to choose equipment that can more efficiently transport smaller boxes.
At GSS Machinery, our automated solutions are designed to integrate into each stage of the supply chain and help you follow the key principles of material handling to ensure a seamless operation.
2. Standardization: You can standardize your equipment and process to ensure predictable results, but still allow for flexibility. If you have boxes that are the same size as your equipment, you should plan for future changes in box sizes so you can select equipment that can transport smaller or bigger boxes.
A company’s material handling system and processes are put in place to improve customer service, reduce inventory, shorten delivery time, and lower overall handling costs in manufacturing, distribution and transportation.
Bulk material handling means the storage, transportation, control and management of materials in loose bulk. This can be food, liquid, or mineral materials. These pieces of equipment usually deal with loose material such as conveyor belts or elevators.
“We have used GSS Machinery Storage Systems for a number of years and will continue to do so in the years to come. Their entire staff are wonderful to work with and provide a seamless installation from beginning to end. Their focus to detail and quality installation has been a valuable resource to our company.”
You can save money by investing in quality products and educating your employees on proper equipment maintenance.
Material handling equipment can be divided into four categories: bulk material storage and handling, bulk material storage and handling, industrial trucks, and engineered systems. Let's have a look at each.
Storage equipment is any piece of equipment that is used to hold or buffer materials over time (and may include transport); typically, it helps preserve valuable work floor space. Having enough working space is critical for product protection, worker safety, and lean manufacturing.
Material Handling Objectives
Cost Savings: Cost-cutting programs have two broad goals: to lower the cost of Material Handling or to lower total production costs through improved handling procedures.
Increased Capacity.... Improved Working Conditions.... Product Value Addition.
Heavy loads should be placed on the lower or middle shelves. Long, tall, or top-heavy items should be stored on their sides or secured to prevent tipping. To access materials in higher locations, place ladders on stable, level surfaces and use stair platforms. Properly lift materials.
