WHAT IS MATERIAL HANDLING Material handling is the art and science of
moving, storing, protecting, and controlling material–Moving: Required to create time and place utility. The value of having the material at the right time and the right place.–Storing: Provides a buffer between operations, facilitates the efficient use of people and machines.–Protecting: Includes the packaging, packing against damage and theft.–Controlling: Physical Orientation, sequence and space between material.

CATEGORIES OF MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT1. Material transport equipment - to move
materials inside a factory, warehouse, or other facility
2. Storage - to store materials and provide access to those materials when required
3. Unitizing equipment - refers to (1) containers to hold materials, and (2) equipment used to load and package the containers
4. Identification and tracking systems - to identify and keep track of the materials being moved and stored

1. AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE What is AGV ?Material handling system that uses independently operated, Self-propelled vehicles, Guided along defined pathways. Increase efficiency and reduce costs by
helping to automate a manufacturing facility or warehouse.
AGVs are employed in nearly every industry, including, paper, metals, newspaper and general manufacturing.
They follow guidance circuits connecting various workstations in the warehouse

DRIVER LESS TRAINS Consists of towing vehicle, which is the AGV that pulls. One or more trailers forming a train. Heavy payloads. Large distances like in a warehouse. With or without intermediate pick-up and drop-off points
along its path.

VEHICLE GUIDANCE TECHNOLOGY Imbedded guide wires Paint strips (Optical navigation system) Self guided vehicles (Laser triangulation
navigation system)

1. IMBEDDED GUIDE WIRES
•Faster and safer•More accurate•Less costly•Simpler and less programming required
![Page 21: Automated Material Handling System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5882447b1a28ab37158b4817/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2. PAINT STRIPS (OPTICAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM)
Chemical or tape strip is fixed or painted to the floor which contain fluorescent particles that reflect UV light source from vehicle
Vehicle has an onboard sensor which allows it to detect the path.
Not typically used in plants or warehouses because floor line needs to be cleaned or reapplied as it deteriorates with time.
Useful in environment where guide wires in the floor surface is not practical.
![Page 22: Automated Material Handling System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5882447b1a28ab37158b4817/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3. SELF GUIDED (LASER TRIANGULATION NAVIGATION SYSTEM) Most popular method of AGV navigation. Operate without continuously defined
pathways. Use combination of dead reckoning
(capability of a vehicle to follow a given route in the absence of a defined pathway) and beacons located throughout the plant, which can be identified by on board sensors.
Continuously verify position by comparing the calculated position with one or more known position

CONVEYORS
![Page 24: Automated Material Handling System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5882447b1a28ab37158b4817/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
CONVEYOR SYSTEMSLarge family of material transport equipment
designed to move materials over fixed paths, usually in large quantities or volumes
1. Non ‑ powered Materials moved by human workers or by
gravity2. Powered
Power mechanism for transporting materials is contained in the fixed path, using chains, belts, rollers or other mechanical devices
![Page 25: Automated Material Handling System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5882447b1a28ab37158b4817/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
CONVEYOR TYPES1. Roller2. Skate ‑ wheel 3. Belt4. In‑ floor towline
![Page 26: Automated Material Handling System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5882447b1a28ab37158b4817/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
1. ROLLER CONVEYOR Pathway consists of
a series of rollers that are perpendicular to direction of travel
Loads must possess a flat bottom to span several rollers
Powered rollers rotate to drive the loads forward
![Page 27: Automated Material Handling System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5882447b1a28ab37158b4817/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
2. SKATE-WHEEL CONVEYOR Similar in operation to
roller conveyor but use skate wheels instead of rollers
Lighter weight and unpowered
Sometimes built as portable units that can be used for loading and unloading truck trailers in shipping and receiving
![Page 28: Automated Material Handling System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5882447b1a28ab37158b4817/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
3. BELT CONVEYOR Continuous loop
with forward path to move loads
Belt is made of reinforced elastomer
Support slider or rollers used to support forward loop
Two common forms: Flat belt (shown) V-shaped for bulk
materials
![Page 29: Automated Material Handling System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5882447b1a28ab37158b4817/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
4. IN-FLOOR TOW-LINE CONVEYOR Four-wheel carts
powered by moving chains or cables in trenches in the floor
Carts use steel pins (or grippers) to project below floor level and engage the chain (or pulley) for towing
This allows the carts to be disengaged from towline for loading and unloading

AGV MATERIAL HANDLING ANALYSIS
Equations:
del cycle time Tc = TL + TU + Ld / vc + Le / ve (min)
available time AT = 60 A Tf E (min/hr/veh)
rate of del per vehicle Rdv = AT / Tc (num del/hr/veh)
work by handling system per hr WL = Rf Tc (min/hr)
num of vehicles for workload nc = WL/AT = Rf / Rdv (num of veh for work load)
![Page 31: Automated Material Handling System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5882447b1a28ab37158b4817/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
AGV EXAMPLEGiven the AGV layout in the figure and the info listed, determine the number of vehicles required for a delivery (flow) rate of 40 del/hr.
Info:Loading time = 0.75 min Unloading time = 0.5 minVehicle speed = 50 m/min Availability = 0.95Traffic factor = 0.9 (from fig) =>Ld = 110 m ; Le = 80 mE = 1
Solution:
Ideal cycle time/del/veh = Tc = 0.75 + 0.5 + 110/50 + 80/50 = 5.05 min
Compute workload = WL = (40) (5.05) = 202 min/hr
Available time = AT = (60) (0.95) (0.90) (1.0) = 51.3 min/hr/veh
Num of vehicles = nc = 202/51.3 = 3.94 veh => 4 vehicles!
