Abstract

In the era of modern manufacturing, optimizing warehouse space is essential to enhance storage efficiency. This research implements a Mobile Racking System (MRS), a sophisticated solution capable of increasing storage density by up to 80% through dynamic rack maneuvering. The system architecture comprises a fixed guide rail network for structural stability and smooth locomotion, and multi-tier mobile units integrated with obstacle-detection sensors. A critical feature of this design is the intelligent safety barrier system, which monitors personnel and forklift access to ensure rigorous operational safety during aisle-opening sequences. The entire process is controlled and supervised via a Human-Machine Interface (HMI), enabling real-time data processing and fault diagnostics. Experimental results validate the system's high precision and reliability, demonstrating a positioning accuracy of ±0.05 mm and an emergency stop response time of less than 0.1 seconds. This integrated approach not only maximizes storage capacity but also significantly reduces operational overhead, proving particularly effective for specialized environments such as industrial cold storage.
