In the industrial domain, varied equipments are
required for storage, control, movement and
protection of materials, products and goods. This
is where automated material handling equipment
is used. These tools are very handy throughout
the process of manufacturing, distribution,
consumption and finally disposal.

These mechanical devices can be classified into
four main varieties namely storage and handling
equipment, industrial trucks, engineered systems,
and bulk material handling. Storage and
Handling Equipments Usually these equipments
are non-automated. These include tools like
shelving, pallet racking, and carting. For
storage and handling, the shape and size of the
tools are according to the product. Materials
used for these equipments are of high quality
ensuring safety of product during storage.
Engineered Systems These include automated
engineered material handling structures like
conveyors, AS/RS, AGV, handling robots, and
others. Sometimes many products are combined
together to form one system under this category.

Industrial Trucks These are equipments that
are driven by motors as warehouse vehicle. They
can be manually handled, powered by gasoline,
electricity or propane. These forklift trucks are
an essential item and have multi-purpose for
material handling owing to their easy
accessibility. Tow tractors, stock chasers etc.
are some common examples of industrial trucks.
Bulk Material Handling Equipment These are
used for moving and storing bulk materials such
as liquids, ore, and cereals. These tools are
widely used in mines, refineries, farms etc.

To explain further varieties of automated
material handling, mentioning about tools like
cranes and hoists is significant as they move
heavy loads. There are many types of automated
cranes used these days like single girder, gantry
cranes, JCB cranes and so on. These are
manufactured keeping in mind the load capacity,
gear boxes, electrical panes, and motors. Wire
rope electric hoists are also useful in factories
or warehouses.

The undeniable benefits of such equipments are
stated below These tools make the entire
process of production to shipping possible.
Labour cost reduces, thus increasing the levels
of profit. Production quality and quantity
improves significantly as there is no manual
handling and everything is done on automated
machines. Time is saved as the work is being
executed with fully computerized operation, and
comprehensive data processing facilities.

Safety and efficiency is assured in a compact
and methodical system configuration and
physically effortless operation. Saves
considerable space and keeps the working space
clean and orderly. Material Handling Equipment
varieties simplify the process and are truly
indispensable tools in the modern day industrial
purview.
