Global automated material handling market is expected to reach USD 60.4 Billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2018 to 2025. The key contributing factor for the market growth are necessity for quality inspection and automation, improvement of vision-guided robotic systems, rising use adoption of 3D automated material handling systems and growing demand for application-specific Automated Material Handling systems.
Market Overview:
Automated materials handling (AMH) refers to automation that controls the movement, storage and protection of materials throughout production and distribution thereby reducing or eliminating the need for humans to supervise things.
The mechanical tools used in AMH systems includes check-in machines, sorters, conveyors, singulators, stackers and unstackers, totes, bins, trolleys, and tote carriers. Also, a scanner is used to check the bar code or a reader to read the RFID tag (or both.) Different belts, pulleys, chutes, slides, and laser beams are used so that bins don't overspill and each item should be oriented correctly. The purpose of AMH is to facilitate overall manufacturing operations by carrying out all the processes involved in it efficiently, safely and with low cost without any disruption in work.
