Always in front of the right rack: Less downtime for compartment fine positioning with camera-based positioning sensors

Pallet and container racks consists essentially of vertical columns and horizontal bars. In the past 20 years, the design of these installations has changed considerably. For cost reasons, thinner-walled materials were increasingly used. The loading possibilities and range of applications became significantly larger. Racks are increasingly affected by thermal and dynamic influences and shock loads have increased, e.g., from the integration of shuttle systems. The resulting deformation of rack components under load, for example, from deflection or expansion, must therefore be considered in detail.
