Bulk handling materials equipment stores, controls and moves loose material in large quantities.
When goods are not in use, storage and handling equipment protects them.

Storage equipment is usually limited to non-automated examples, which are grouped in with engineered systems. Storage equipment is used to hold or buffer materials during “downtimes,” or times when they are not being transported. These periods could refer to temporary pauses during long-term transportation or long-term storage designed to allow the buildup of stock. The majority of storage equipment refers to pallets, shelves or racks onto which materials may be stacked in an orderly manner to await transportation or consumption. Many companies have investigated increased efficiency possibilities in storage equipment by designing proprietary packaging that allows materials or products of a certain type to conserve space while in inventory.

Material handling is the movement of materials and goods from one location to another. It includes protecting, storing, and controlling the materials, from manufacturing to distribution.
To ensure that every equipment and process in a facility works together, it is important for designers to reference best practices. If you analyze the goals of your material handling process and align them with the 10 Principles of Material Handling, you can create a system that improves customer service, reduces inventory, speeds up delivery times, and lowers overall handling costs for manufacturing, distribution, or transportation. These principles include:
Warehouses are known for being chaotic environments where there is constant movement. However, the systems that are in place can make them less labor-intensive and chaotic.
Engineered and automated systems include solutions that are supported by robots and computers. They store and transport goods.
9. Automation: Use automation to automate warehouse processes, such as picking or retrieval, in order reduce costs and improve employee productivity.
Warehouse management solutions can provide greater control over materials handling, inventory tracking, process analysis, and preventive maintenance.
Material handling is more than just the movement and transport of products. It provides a standardized process for handling and transportation from manufacturing through distribution.
Material handling can be used in all industries. However, it is most often used in warehousing. Here goods are securely stored, retrieved, then shipped.
Material Handling Objectives
Cost Savings: Cost-cutting programs have two broad goals: to lower the cost of Material Handling or to lower total production costs through improved handling procedures.
Increased Capacity.... Improved Working Conditions.... Product Value Addition.
A material storage system's function is to store materials for a period of time and to provide access to those materials when needed. Material types Table 11.1 shows the product (raw material, purchased parts, and work-in-process). Finished product (including rework and scrap) Process (Refuse, Toding, Spare parts)
Material handling refers to how materials are stored, organized, treated, moved, and otherwise processed on a smaller scale, within a building or from a transport vehicle to a building and vice versa.
