In modern manufacturing processes, automation, adaptability, and efficiency are becoming key factors for optimizing workflows. Modular production design enables greater flexibility, which helps better accommodate changing production needs. This thesis focuses on the design of a modular warehouse system and its programming to perform handling and logistics processes using a robotic arm on a sliding rail. One of the main objectives of the project was to change the control method for the robotic arm on the sliding rail. Previously, the control was carried out using the Dobot Studio software environment. As part of this thesis, the control was implemented using a Raspberry Pi controller. The program was developed in the Python programming language using the "Dobot Python" library. A program was created for positioning the pallet at the receiving point, handling material in the warehouse or on the pallet, and for pushing or retrieving the pallet onto or from the automated guided vehicle. We designed a tool that allows the robotic arm, using a vacuum gripper, to manipulate the pallet into the positioning area. Precise positioning of the material at the receiving point, as well as within the warehouse, is crucial for safe and reliable material transfer. To this end, we designed an appropriate positioning platform for the pallet. Both the pallet and the warehouse were adapted to meet the precision positioning needs and requirements.
