This report gives an inventarisation of the equipment which is used in
warehousing.
The functions, which the equipment can fulfill, are investigated. An enumeration
of these functions is reproduced. The same types of equipment are distinguished
by their specifications. Examples of these specifications are: speed,
powersource, price and lifting capacity. These functions and specifications are
adjudged to the different groups of equipment.
The equipment is divided by different kinds of groupings. Each kind is
illustrated by several examples. The problems which occur by making a grouping
based on the functions of the equipment are investigated. The first problem is
making exact functions discriptions and the second is that the equipment can
fulfill several different kinds of functions.
There are several standard procedures developed which select a piece of
equipment from the collection. One method is described. The functions and the
specifications can be used as a selection step in a selection procedure.
The common grouping of the equipment is very useful for an inventarisation of
the equipment. This gives an insight in the enormous variety of existing
equipment. It is not possible to make a useful grouping which is based on the
functions of the equipment. The functions and specifications together can be
used as a step in a selection procedure.
