Material handling system plays very important role in industry like Aviation, mining, food & beverages and shipping for transporting raw material and finished goods. In recent year the major problems associated with material handling system are delivering goods, picking up materials with an increase in the number of supermarkets and hypermarkets in cities. Due to the large amount of manual material handling, the order picking zone represents one of the most critical areas of a warehouse both with respect to time, quality, and health risks. And while doing proper planning of material handling we can reduce delivery time and overall production cost. All research is focused on developing better systems for material handling. We are proposing concepts of material handing which can eliminate the non value added activities in overall handling activities and reduce material handing hazards by using material handling principles. In recent years, the strong growth of Indian economy has increased the need for automation in material handling in manufacturing and logistics sectors. The main objective of this study is conducted to find future trends and investment in material handing system in different industry. Material handling system is needed many safety rules and standards.
