    FAQs

    What is automation in materials handling?

    Materials handling refers to the work in industrial factories, warehouses, and distribution centres where goods such as products and materials are transported, stored, and controlled. This process can include manual, automated, and semi-automated processes. Automation within materials handling is the use of computer-based systems to make processes automatic.

    What are the benefits of automated material handling equipment?

    Incorporating automated processes into materials handling can present several benefits, including:

     

    • Makes processes more efficient and repeatable, reducing turnaround times and the risk of damage or contamination 
    • Reduces chance of risk to human employees, especially when handling heavy goods
    • Ability to track and record stock easier for greater accuracy  
    • Can save on labour costs and redistribute labour to other areas as necessary
