This diploma paper discusses the conception and design of a modern rack warehouse for the Smart Factory demo centre. The introduction presents the background of the problem and the goals we set for the warehouse. In the first, theoretical part of the thesis, we first learnt about the types and the operations of modern rack warehouses and in what ways we can perceive and track products and components in the warehouse. We further discussed the possibilities of serving and sorting pieces in the rack warehouse, and automated guided vehicles for the delivery and removal of products. We also roughly discuss the digitization of storage processes based on digital twins. In this segment, we wrote down possible concepts for the digitization of our warehouse. In the next step, we discussed the methodology that is the basis for designing advanced warehousing and service technologies, and product perception and tracking. With the help of morphological matrices, we developed two concepts of rack storage and three concepts of service subsystems. We empirically evaluated the concepts and, based on the results, selected the most suitable ones for our case of material handling and storage. Selected warehouse and server subsystem concepts were designed and described in more detail. In our modern rack warehouse, we have also included RFID tracking and a place for an automated guided vehicle.
