In industrial processing plants articles (materials) must be transported between different locations. Raw materials are transferred into the production process, typically then they pass several processing stations and finally, the processed article is removed from the processing chain. The processing of the articles requires typically high precision as well as a high throughput through the manufacturing plant, i.e. high transportation speeds and high processing speed.

Today's material handling systems are designed to transport the articles between the individual processing stations only. Within a processing station, the article is adjusted and fastened with high precision on a mobile mechanism belonging to the processing station. In this setting, the article is processed. Subsequently, the setting is released and the article is transported by the material handling system into the next processing station, where similar procedures are repeated.

In this project, a process-integrated approach of material handling is suggested. One of the key features is that materials are attached and fastened with high precision to the transportation unit (vehicle, work piece carrier) only once. Then, the materials are processed and transported in the plant without releasing frequently the high precision clamping of the work piece. Such a concept probably can be useful e.g. in metal processing-, paper processing or packaging industry.
