Abstract

Automotive industry is one of the biggest sectors of economy, so any task related to it has also large significance. It is especially valid for the handling solutions used in production procedures of the automotive area. However there are many different handling processes applied suited for the individual production elements. In this paper authors give an overview about the materials handling solutions used in automotive production processes.

As the application of different handling methods and equipment is principally based on the characteristics of the production processes, so authors also present the relations among the process and device parameters. Types and relations of the different parameters mean the base of the selection process of equipment for all of the handling procedures of the automotive industry and give ideas to develop new devices to fulfil the special requirement.
