Material handling equipment can help your employees transport, locate, and pick inventory, allowing them to be more competent and productive with other tasks.
Engineered or Automated Systems are systems that combine technology with robots and computers to store and transport products.
3. Work: Make it easier to do repetitive tasks by using equipment.

The best material handling systems allow you to store the inventory in the most efficient spaces possible, minimize time spent on operations such as picking, control inventory in real time, reduce operational costs, optimize your overall flow of goods, and reduce your operating costs.
According to a report from 2019, the world's warehousing expenditures are estimated at EUR300 Billion each year.
An automated system is generally made out of several units, controlled by a management software application.

Efficiency is the name of the game when structuring your material handling system. Efficient logistics are a necessity when reacting to and planning for customer and warehouse requirements. Because inbound inventory’s material handling processes are just important as outbound’s processes.
Material handling equipment can be divided into 4 main categories: storage, handling, bulk, industrial trucks, engineered systems, and storage and handling. Let's take a closer look at each.
Material handling is essential for safe transportation of your goods and materials from manufacturing to distribution.
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.
A material storage system's function is to store materials for a period of time and to provide access to those materials when needed. Material types Table 11.1 shows the product (raw material, purchased parts, and work-in-process). Finished product (including rework and scrap) Process (Refuse, Toding, Spare parts)
Planning Principles Include:
Principle of Planning: All material handling activities should be planned.
The systems principle states that handling activities should be integrated and coordinated.
The Simplification Principle... The Material Flow Principle... The Gravity Principle... The Unit Size Principle...
Principle of Space Utilization:... Principle of Safety:
