Material handling simulation is a crucial part of preparing for the efficient transfer of materials, whether the venue is a factory or an airport. Many kinds of places need cargo transported around the premises in a speedy, reliable manner. Determining delivery routes in a busy setting can be quite a logistical puzzle. Insufficient planning will lead to delays that many businesses just can't afford.

According to SJF's Vice President of Marketing Stafford Sterner, the materials handling options available today can be very confusing. "You can buy new, used or reconditioned. You can buy over the Web. You can buy the whole package or work with a number of individual dealers -- some of whom may not have your best interests at heart. It's easy to get lost without a road map, and that's what this report is intended to be."

One of the first things you need to know is the nature of the material being handled. Stamping presses form many materials, such as aluminum, stainless steel, steel, and other alloys. While you can use either a steel-belt or cloth-belt conveyors for the job, find out if the material being moved has any sharp edges. If yes, then a cloth-belt conveyer may not be a good idea since it can be cut.

In addition, the new manufacturing set-up has improved material handling and process flow. Packing has now been moved to the end of each line when it was previously carried out in a central packaging area, which occasionally resulted in finished assemblies being packed in the wrong boxes.

There is another problem that you must address when handling stamped material – lubrication. Most stamped parts have some type of lubricant on the material – which can be quite troublesome for the conveyer. For instance, lubricant can cause the material to stick to the belt of a belt conveyer. This material can then easily enter the conveyer housing, triggering a jam.
