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.
