Course detail

Technological Projects and Materials Handling

FSI-ETMAcad. year: 2024/2025

The content of Technological projects and materials handling aims at introducing students to the basics of technological design and enables them to gain insight into independent processing of pre-project analysis and precise technological layout of workshop as well as basic manufacturing operations, including material handling. The course mainly deals with the following topics: capacity calculations, fundamental design of manufacturing plant, detailed layout of workshops and workplaces, assembly lines and IPS and utilizes ergonomy in its technological design. The main objectives of the field relating to material handling is on the pre-project preparation, material handling devices, storage design and economic evaluation of project. Substantial part of the subject is also given to the use of computers and modern software for the purpose of company design, storages and their material handling processes. Students will also become familiar with basic principles of project management (application conditions, methods, criteria for success of the project etc.).

Guarantor

Ing. Marek Štroner, Ph.D.

Department

Institute of Manufacturing Technology (ÚST)

Entry knowledge

Basic knowledge of manufacturing technology (forming and machining technology), as well as basic knowledge of machines and technological equipment used.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The conditions of the credit: students solve the example designing of workshops and production line, storage. The participation and the right solution are required.
The exam has the written and spoken parts: area of technological projects and materials handling and representative models of producing efficiency. During the spoken part are solved 1-2 theoretical questions from different parts of the subject.
For the evaluation the ECTS is used.

Attendance at lectures is checked. The lecture is different each week, that is why an absence may be compensated for in the same week only. Only one lecture may be missed without penalty. In the case of more missed exercises and the impossibility of replacing the exercise, the substitute protocols and computational work will be assigned.

Aims

The main goal of the subject is to provide students with all basic information about designing of industrial plants. The course is divided into different parts: one focusing on designing of workshops and production line, storage and other part concentrating on material handling. Both parts are connected with different technology of mechanical engineering.


Students will acquire necessary knowledge from the areas of mechanical engineering workshops designing, storage and material handling. The subject is focused mainly on different technologies of mechanical engineering such as metal forming, welding and cutting, machining and casting.
