STUDY AND INVESTIGATION OF GRAPHIC MATERIALS HANDLING
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify various state-of-the-art techniques and approaches which could be integrated to provide a system suitable for the storage, retrieval, and handling of a wide variety of graphic materials proposed as a data base for a Reconnaissance Technical Squadron. The study was performed by detailing the definition of the problem; reviewing current practices in organizations concerned with graphic materials; surveying available equipments having potential application; reviewing techniques and approaches as revealed in current literature; testing representative types of storage equipment; analyzing factors related to indexing and organization as they affect material storage; and synthesizing a representative solution for the types and volumes of graphic materials assumed - all with simplicity of design and manual handling as study objectives. The results obtained included rating information on different techniques of storage; selection of representative equipment types; layout of a storage area to accommodate the estimated volume; and selection of a material storage addressing method.
