8. Environment: Use equipment that will reduce energy consumption and prevent greenhouse gas emissions. For example, using an electric forklift is more sustainable than using a liquid-propane powered truck.
It is important to use best practices when designing a material handling system. This will ensure that all equipment and processes in a facility, including semi-automated, automated, and manual, work together as one system. A properly designed system will enhance customer service, reduce inventory and deliver faster than expected. These principles include:
Non-automated storage equipment tends to be the most common. They are often grouped together with engineered systems. When materials are not being transported, storage equipment is used for holding or buffering them. These periods could be temporary pauses during long term transportation or long term storage to allow stock buildup. Most storage equipment refers primarily to racks, shelves and pallets that allow materials to be stored in an organized manner for transport or consumption. Many companies have explored ways to improve the efficiency of storage equipment. They have created proprietary packaging that allows products or materials of certain types to be conserved space while still in inventory.
A material handling system that works effectively will allow your company to keep the stock you need in smaller spaces, reduce the time it takes to do internal operations such as picking and transport, control inventory in real-time and reduce operating costs, and optimize the flow of goods within your facility.
6. Space Utilization: You can optimize your warehouse space by organizing it. You can make sure your warehouse is clean and tidy by organizing the aisles, stacking inventory at vertical height and grouping similar products.
10. Life Cycle Cost: To ensure sustainability and durability, conduct a thorough analysis of the life cycle costs of material handling equipment. Different criteria should be considered, such as programming, installation, setup and operation, maintenance, reuse value, and disposal.
10. Life Cycle Costs: A comprehensive analysis of life-cycle costs for material handling equipment is necessary to ensure sustainability and durability. Take into account different criteria such as programming and installation, set-up, operation, repair and management, reuse value, disposal, and maintenance.
Warehouse operators can improve productivity and efficiency by using specialized equipment and a well-organized material handling system. This will allow them to keep employees safe from possible accidents and streamline the movement of goods between stages.
