Why choose automated vs manual material handling systems?

Manual material handling refers to using physical force to lift, move and store inventory. Manual material handling systems generally utilize human or animal labor to push, pull, lift, lower, carry, hold and restrain various items.

On the other hand, automated material handling employs robots and other devices to perform all these tasks. This can be done by a single piece of automated equipment or with multiple pieces of equipment, such as sortation systems, stackers, conveyers, totes, bins, automated guided vehicles, vertical lifts, trolleys and more.

An automated material handling system will offer your organization multiple advantages, such as:

  • Higer accuracy, agility, and scalability
  • Multitasking capabilities
  • Higher productivity from computerized automation
  • Optimized warehouse storage space with the use of vertical ceiling clearances
  • Reduction of on-the-job injuries to warehouse workers

Due to these benefits and more, many organizations are implementing automated material handling systems vs. manual material handling systems.
