What is Material Handling?

Material handling is the movement, protection, storage, and detection of materials throughout manufacturing, distribution, consumption, and disposal processes. Managing the movement of packages, containers, or products at specified speeds with a variety of controls and displays becoming increasingly important to conserve both space and power, while safety and sensor intelligence capabilities fulfill industry requirements for protection and information. Material handling encompasses a collection of movement and processing equipment with the purpose of gathering, analyzing, and communicating information supporting a number of key business activities:

Forecasting
Production planning
Flow and process management
Customer delivery
Resource allocation
Inventory management
After-sales support and service

The material handling industry is segmented into either complete turn-key systems or integrated systems, where a combination of devices are designed and packaged into one system. Integrated systems are typically designed by either in-house engineers or system integrators. TE offers a wide array of multi-medium interconnect and cable assemblies to solve material handling needs for material handling subsystems.
