This diploma thesis presents the concept of automated sorting and handling of colored tiles in the storage by using the pick and place robot operation. The first part of the thesis presents the theory of industrial robots, the division of industrial robots and the history and development of industrial robots over time. An OpenCV software library and RFID product tracking technology are also presented. In the second part, we presented the methodology of workplace design including robot arm and several storage places. Based on the initial requirements, we produced different workplace concepts with different recognition methods used for tracking colored tiles. The concepts are analysed and evaluated and the most appropriate concept in terms of technical and economical aspect is chosen. We described the individual components in the workplace and their function in detail. Thus, we designed a small, compact and portable automated system that can operate independently and can be placed anywhere in demo center of smart factory LASIM.
