News - Information for Material Handling and Transport Operation Industrial Engineering Analysis

Process Improvement using engineering knowledge to reduce cost through increasing productivity of machines and men by reducing machine time and man time is the main activity of industrial engineering.

Many other disciplines help industrial engineers to achieve their objectives. But the main discipline that is the foundation for IE is engineering of products and processes.




Lesson 140 of  Industrial Engineering ONLINE Course.

Sub-Module in Process Improvement - Transport - Material Handling Operations

Lessons  136  -  137  - 138 - 139 - 140 -  141


There is a three way break up of time in a process.

Value added activity time + Non-value added activity time + No value added time.

Cost is incurred all the time. Time reduction is cost reduction if resources are same. (Narayana Rao, 19 July 2021)

IRB 5710 and IRB 5720 - large ABB robots increase speed and flexibility for material handling
ABB Robotics, 9 Mar 2022

Making industries more competitive with ABB’s large new robots. Introducing IRB 5710 and IRB 5720 powered by ABB’s new OmniCoreTM controller V250XT featuring ABB’s TrueMove and QuickMove motion control technology. The OmniCore V250XT controller enables the robots to offer class-leading speed, improving production capacity with lower manufacturing times. 

Unlock new industries with ABB’s IRB 5710 and IRB 5720 large robots for material handling on EV battery production. EV designs can often be highly complex, and components such as batteries and semiconductor modules can be very heavy or extremely fragile. These demands call for solutions that can offer maximum precision and repeatability to avoid errors in production whilst also improving worker health and safety. ABB’s new large robots will increase the speed and flexibility for material handling on the EV battery production.

A to Z Material Handling Principles

Interesting report of 1953


DTIC AD0020834: AN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS OF CARGO HANDLING: To reduce cargo handling time in ships.

The only significant Improvement In cargo handling has been made In the loading of bulk cargo such as ore and oil. Conveyors and other automatic equipment can load specially designed ships with these commodities at rates as high as 2000 to 3000 tons per hour. Contrast this with the rate of loading general cargo, which Is approximately 10 to 20 tons per hour per hatch or a maximum of 50 to 100 tons per hour If five hatches are loaded simultaneously. Opportunities for the use of mechanical loading methods on the ordinary cargo ship, however, are limited by the fact that the ships are designed for flexibility; i,e. 
to accommodate a wide variety of commodities.
