Material HandlingMaterial Handling
2
IntroductionIntroduction Definition – the movement, storage, protection and
control of material (MHIA). The purpose is to handle safely, efficiently, at low
cost, on time, accurately, and without damage to the material.
Advantages – safer operating condition, lower cost, better utilization and better performance of material handling systems.
3
ExamplesExamples
Movement – industrial trucks and robots. Storage – rack, drawer, bins. Protection – wooden pallet, pallet box, tote box. Control – bar codes, magnetic stripes, radio
frequency tags.

Automation and control technologies in the production system

Equipments of MHEquipments of MHCategories of the equipment includes:
1. Transport.
2. Storage.
3. Unitizing.
4. Identification.
6
TransportTransportUsed to move material inside a factory.1. Industrial trucks – non-powered and powered.2. Automated guided vehicles – battery-powered and
automatically steered.3. Rail guided vehicle – self-propelled and
independently operating.4. Conveyors – move material over fixed paths in
large quantities.5. Cranes and hoists – horizontal travel and vertical
lifting for heavy loads. Manually or powered operating.
7
Industrial TrucksIndustrial Trucks The non-powered types are often referred as
hand trucks because they are pushed or pulled by human workers
Quantities of material moved and distances are relatively low
Classified as either two-wheel or multiple-wheel
Examples of non-powered industrial are shown in Figure 1

Powered truck are self-propelled to relieve the worker of manually having to move the truck
Three common types are used in factories and warehouse are walkie trucks, fork lift truck and towing tractor

Automated Guided Vehicle Automated Guided Vehicle SystemsSystems An automated guided vehicle system (AGVS)
is a material handling system that uses independently operated, self-propelled vehicles guided along defined pathways
The pathways for AGVS is unobtrusive An AGVS is appropriate where different
materials are moved from various load points to various unload points
Suitable for automating material handling in batch production and mixed production
12
Three types of AGV : (a) driveless automated guided train, (b) AGV pallet truck, (c) Unit load carrier
13
Monorails and other rail Monorails and other rail guided vehiclesguided vehicles
Monorail is the motorized vehicles that are guided by a fixed rail system
Are typically suspended overhead from the ceiling
Rail guided vehicles pick up electrical power from an electrified rail
Electrified overhead monorails are used to move large components and subassemblies in its manufacturing operations
14
Conveyor SystemConveyor System Conveyors are used material must be moved
in relatively large quantities between specific locations over a fixed path
The fixed path is implemented by a track system, which may be in-the-floor, above-the-floor or overhead
Divide into two categories : (1) powered(2) non-powered
Examples of powered conveyors are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4

Cranes and HoistCranes and Hoist Cranes are used for horizontal movement of
materials in a facility, and hoists are used for vertical lifting.
A hoist is a mechanical device that can be used to raise and lower loads
Cranes include a variety of material handling equipment designed for lifting and moving heavy loads using one or more overhead beams for support
Types of cranes : bridge cranes, gantry cranes and jib cranes

19
StorageStorage To store materials for a period of time. To permit access when required. Storage performance is measured according to the
capacity, density, accessibility and throughput. There are bulk storage, rack systems, bins, drawer
storage and automated storage systems.
20
High density bulk storage provides low accessibility and bulk storage with loads arranged to form rows and blocks for improved accessibility

25
UnitizingUnitizing Containers used to hold individual items for
protection. Equipment used to load and package the containers. Examples: wooden pallet, pallet box and tote box.
26
IdentificationIdentification To collect the data in material handling
automatically. There are three basic components: encoder data,
machine reader and decoder. Examples of technologies: bar codes, magnetic
stripes, radio frequency tags and machine vision.

Material Handling SystemMaterial Handling SystemThere are some considerations before design the system as follows:
1. Material characteristics.
2. Flow rate, routing, and scheduling.
3. Plan layout.

AUTOMATIC DATA AUTOMATIC DATA CAPTURECAPTURE
Automatic data capture (ADC) also known as automatic identification and data capture (AIDC).
Refers to the technologies that provide direct entry of data into a computer or other microprocessor controlled system without using a keyboard.
Used to collect data in material handling and manufacturing applications
31
Material handling : shipping and receiving, storage, sortation
and order picking Manufacturing :
Monitoring the status of order processing, work-in-process and worker attendance.
32
Component of ADCConsists of three component :Encoded data A code is a set of symbols or signals
representing alphanumeric characters When data are encoded, the characters
are translated into a machine-readable code
A label or tag containing the encoded data is attached to the item that is to be later identified
33
Machine reader or scanner This device reads the encoded data,
converting them to alternative form, usually an electrical analog signal
Decoder This component transforms the electrical
signal into digital data and finally back into original alphanumeric characters
34
Categories of ADC Can be divided into six :Optical Use high-contrast graphical symbols that
can be interpreted by an optical scanner Include bar codes, optical character
recognition and machine visionMagnetic Encode data magnetically, similar to
recording tape Include magnetic stripe and magnetic ink
character recognition
35
Electromagnetic : Radio frequencySmart card Refers to small plastic cards (the size of credit
card) imbedded with microchips capable of containing large amounts of information
Touch techniques : Touch screen and button memoryBiometric To identify humans or interpret vocal commands
of human Include voice recognition, fingerprint analysis
and retinal eye scans
