Summary
The course aims primarily to familiarize students with issues of transport and handling of materials during the processes in industrial enterprises. Students will learn a wide range of conveyors and handling equipment to optimize function, performance and design. Individual transportation facilities will be placed in the context of an industrial enterprise, and will be explained in detail their use in transport and technological processes. This is mainly conveyors, handling equipment, cranes and hoists in connection with the use of a wide range of industries (energy, automotive, mining and processing of raw materials, food, light and heavy industries). Following the technological application of these funds will be clarified in the next issue of the logistics industry.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with basic transport principles within the industry. Primarily, these are conveying equipment (conveyors, cranes, lifts) and means of transport (vehicles, rails and airplanes) with the integration into the logistics framework of industrial enterprises. The student is able to distinguish between different types of transport systems, they are well versed in them and can choose the optimal variant for a given industrial enterprise.
