Loading/Unloading
The handling times for loading and unloading the load unit types are displayed in the Work steps > Loading/Unloading menu. The unit load type, material number, and location (building, hall, station, storage location) are used as criteria for the time specification. Handling times can be created, edited, and deleted.
Description of the Interaction Elements: Loading/Unloading
The following table describes the columns that are available for handling times for loading and unloading unit load types.
Column | Description |
---|---|
Load unit types |
Name of the unit load type for which the handling time is valid. |
Material number |
Material number for which the handling time is valid. |
Building |
Name of the building for which the handling time is valid. |
Hall |
Name of the hall for which the handling time is valid. |
Station |
Name of the station for which the handling time is valid. |
Storage location |
Name of the storage location for which the handling time is valid. |
Loading time (sec) |
Sum of other time taken while loading (e.g. opening the door, transporting parts). |
Loading time per unit load type (sec) |
Time (seconds) taken to load a unit load type. |
Unloading time (sec) |
Sum of other time taken while unloading (e.g. opening the door, transporting parts). |
Unloading time per unit load type (sec) |
Time (seconds) taken to unload a unit load type. |
Creating a New Handling Time for Loading/Unloading
New handling times for loading and unloading unit load types can be created and shown in the overview of handling times for loading and unloading.
If the handling times for loading and unloading are not dependent on the location where the handling takes place, no location must be specified when defining the handling time. If the handling times in a hall (for example Hall 101) deviate from the general handling times due to local circumstances, only Hall 101 must be specified when defining the handling time. New handling times can be defined without selecting a trailer type and location. These handling times are generally valid and are always used if there are no specific handling times for the trailer type or location of the transport order. |
