Computer Aided Selection of Material Handling Equipment
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2013, Vol 14, Issue 40
Abstract
Implementing automated material handling system improve the productivity and profitability of a company. Despite these advantages, implementing such a system implies investments thus the increase of the product’s cost. Thus, it is imperative to understand the many aspects related to such a system before purchase one. In the literature there are some principles that should be followed before choosing a material handling system but there are few software designed for this. Present paper present such a software design for choosing the appropriate conveyor system based on the plant facility design and manufacturing system characteristics.
