Material handling is the movement, protection, storage and control of materials and products throughout manufacture, storage, distribution, consumption and disposal. As a process, material handling incorporates a wide range of manual, semi-automated and automated equipment that support logistics and make the supply chain work. Your application helps with:

A company's material handling system and processes are implemented to improve customer service, reduce inventory, shorten delivery time, and reduce overall manufacturing, distribution and transportation costs. Material handling involves short-range movements within the confines of a building or between a building and a transportation vehicle. It uses a wide range of manual, semi-automated and automated equipment and includes consideration of the protection, storage and control of materials throughout their manufacture, storage, distribution, consumption and disposal. Material handling can be used to create local time and utility through the manipulation, storage and control of the material, as opposed to manufacturing, which creates usefulness by changing the shape, shape and makeup of the material.
