Automation features of material handling machines

Abstract

Industrial, service and other processes applying more and more automated devices, there are many smart solutions in the homes and robots are standing at the gates. However, the situation of handling processes is a little bit special, because of the operation specifications of the handling machines. Most of the automation tasks and problems related to discontinuous handling machines, their application requires much more planning and operation tasks. This paper gives an overview about the application and specifications of automated material handling machines, especially focusing to those features, which can influence the handling processes and many parameters of the material handling machines. The objective of this research is to uncover the specifications of material handling machines. The results can help to build more effective handling systems and automated handling equipment.
