Abstract

Material Handling is not a Production Process but a necessary link between Raw Material and actual Process of Product manufacturing, Materials handling includes all the activities with regards to acquisition, handling, control, and movement of material used in manufacturing like Loading, Unloading and transportation of Materials is carried out. . The main objective of this project is to fabricate a robotic trolley for material handling in industries. In this project a robotic vehicle is fabricated which runs like a car by carrying tools from place to another.The overall aim of the project was to identify the risks associated with pushing and pulling of heavy trolley in tire manufacturing industry and also to improve the material handling in heavy trolley without suffering any deformation or local fractures if it would go into real world production at an ideal scale. And to improve over all material handling with lean approach. Material handling is an essential and significant component of any productive activity; it is something that goes on in every plant all the time. When large amounts of material are being moved, this is because accidents can happen when large material is being moved. This results into organisations paying compensation lawsuits.
