1. Planning: Establish a clear plan for your material handling system. Your plan should identify which materials will be transported, which equipment will be used and where your materials will be stored.
Non-automated storage equipment is typically limited to those that are not automated. These items can be grouped with engineered systems. The storage equipment is used to store or buffer materials during periods of "downtimes", or when they are not being moved. These periods can be temporary pauses in long-term transport or long-term storage that allows stock to build up. Most storage equipment is made up of pallets, shelves, or racks on which materials can be stored in an orderly fashion to allow for transportation or consumption. Many companies have developed proprietary packaging to help products or materials of a particular type conserve space in their inventory. This has allowed them to increase efficiency in storage equipment.
According to a 2019 report, the worldwide expenditure of warehousing companies is tallied at a whopping €300 billion each year.

Material handling is crucial for ensuring your goods and materials are safe transported from one point in the supply chain to another.
Storage and handling equipment can keep materials for short or long periods of time, depending on your warehouse’s needs.
The industrial material handling equipment includes a variety of tools, vehicles and storage units as well as accessories that are used in the transport, control, monitoring, enumerating, and protecting of products at every stage of their manufacturing, distribution, consumption, or disposal.
When designing a material handling system, it is important to refer to best practices to ensure that all the equipment and processes—including manual, semi-automated and automated—in a facility work together as a unified, system. By analyzing the goals of the material handling process and aligning them to guidelines, such as the 10 Principles of Material Handling, a properly designed system will improve customer service, reduce inventory, shorten delivery time, and lower overall handling costs in manufacturing, distribution and transportation. These principles include:
A 2019 report shows that the global warehousing industry spend is estimated at EUR300 billion per year.

Overview. A conveyor system is a standard piece of mechanical handling equipment used in many industries to move goods, products, raw materials, and other materials from one location to another, usually within the same area or building.
Many industries use conveyor systems, including mining, automotive, agricultural, computer, electronic, food processing, aerospace, pharmaceutical, chemical, bottling and canning, print finishing, and packaging.
