Acquiring basic professional knowledge related to reload processes, material flow, transport machines and devices.

Acquired knowledge can be used in practice for solving reload processes, optimal choice and exploitation of transport systems and devices

Models for material and information flows, simulations. Basic equipment parameters, analysis on working operations of intermittent running engines and the selection of machines and devices. Devices for cargo gripping and carrying, cables, chains, pulleys, tackles, and lifting and motion engines. Reload technology in pallet storage, machines and equipment. Terminals for containers and bulk cargo (machines and equipment for intermittent transportation). Working automation of intermittent running machines. Reload continuous action equipment. Properties of materials and transport units. Band conveyors. Description, properties and calculations for a conveyor with the chain-driving element. Elevators. Description, properties and calculations for a conveyor without the driving element. Specific machines and equipment (automatically controlled vehicles, robots and manipulators, palletizers, pneumatic transport…). Working automation of continuous action machines.

Lectures, auditory and laboratory practice. During the teaching process, students have the possibility to take and pass three partial examinations and hence be excluded from taking the written part of the examination. Final examination comprises theoretical questions.
