Abstract In these days, the maintenance process, as a part of the operation of manufacturing systems, is also developing while following the changes in the production area. Maintenance, in many of the cases, is operating as an individual service task, which requires many changes from the related handling processes. To follow the changes and the development in the field of the maintenance, we need many new concepts, methods and ideas. Main objective of our research was to uncover the relations between the effectivity of the maintenance processes and the material handling parameters. In this paper, we summarise the development of the maintenance processes and give an overview about the topical handling tasks, which must be solved.

<p class="Textoindependiente21">The designing of an efficient warehouse management system is a key factor to improve productivity and reduce costs. The use of Automated Guided Vehicles (AVGs) in Material Handling Systems (MHS) and Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) can help to that purpose. This paper is intended to provide insight regarding the technical and financial suitability of the implementation of a fleet of AGVs. This is carried out by means of a fuzzy set/qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) by measuring the level of satisfaction of managerial decision makers.</p>

Material handling activities within a company have a very important role, especially in warehousing activities ranging from the process of receiving goods, storing goods to product distribution. To reduce the waste that occurs in material handling, a lean manufacturing approach is used with the Value Stream Mapping (VSM) method for mapping the flow of material handling activities and the flow of information on material handling activities. Waste that occurs in the material handling work process in the printing sheets area includes waiting, excess processing, and transportation. With Root Cause Analysis and Risk Matrix, it is known that the most influential root causes of waste are inadequate human resources, material handling tools in preparing goods and process break quantity from standard pallets, and distribution of areas far from the printing sheets warehouse area. Recommendations for improvement proposals offered are, providing additional material handlers, material handling tools for activities within one department by considering distance and time, reducing break quantity requests and temporary locations for receiving printing sheets in the production area, as well as collaborating with suppliers to arrange the arrival schedule of printing sheets material by communicating and updating regularly with the forwarder if the frequency of delays is too frequent. So that if it is repaired and applied it will improve the performance of the material handling.

The rapid adoption of Industry 4.0 principles in the manufacturing sector during the last couple of years has created numerous possibilities for development. One key area related to manufacturing in which Industry 4.0 solutions can have a significant impact is the field of materials handling. However, today the majority of manufacturing companies still overly rely on the utilization of standard forklift material handling systems for supporting their operations. In this paper, our goal is to present a novel process improvement method utilizing Industry 4.0 principles which could significantly aid in the design of efficient forklift material handling systems. We believe that by utilizing the opportunities inherent in Industry 4.0 (in this case mainly sensor systems, big data analysis, digitalization and real-time data transfer), forklift based material handling can be elevated to an entirely new level in terms of efficiency, which could greatly improve the overall performance of the vast majority of manufacturing systems.

Material Handling Systems

Advanced manufacturing systems allow rapid changes of production processes by means of reconfigurability providing mass customisation of products with high productivity, quality and low costs. Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS) employ conventional as well as special purpose CNC machines, robots and material handling systems. In customised automated assembly, a number of different workpieces need to be processed simultaneously at various workstations according to their process plans. Therefore, a material handling system is an important part of RMS, whose main task is to provide reliable, accurate and efficient transfer of materials according to the process scheduling, without bottlenecks and stoppages. In this research, a reconfigurable pallet system was developed to facilitate automated robotic assembly for a highly customised production environment. The aim is to design a material handling system for conveying, sorting and processing of parts, which are supplied by robots and part feeders in different configurations. The developed pallet system provides a low-cost solution and it includes four flexible conveyors and part handling devices. All the elements of the system were successfully integrated with an intelligent controller. A user-friendly human machine interface provides easy reconfigurability of the pallet system and interfacing with robots, processing stations and part feeding sub-systems. The main advantages of the developed material handling system are the ease of operation, its reconfigurability and low-cost. The system demonstrates the advantages of reconfigurable material handling systems and it can be employed for training purposes.
