Multiple shelves
When you have multiple shelves placed next to each other, they are part of the same
operating hazard zone. The zone must be large enough to ensure that the edge of the zone is
at least one meter from the shelves and the robot when it is at the entry position to any
shelf.
You must also ensure that there are sufficient pedestrian escape routes within the operating
hazard zone.
Pedestrian escape routes are cleared paths that are at least 0.5 m wide and
2.1 m high. There must always be an escape route on either side of the robot,
also in operating hazard zones.
If the shelves are placed on Shelf positions alone, the required free space around the shelf—
see
MiR500 and MiR1000 Best Practice: Space Requirements
—ensures that there are also
sufficient escape routes.
If you use VL-markers with the Shelf positions, the shelves can be placed closer together, and
you must ensure the shelves are placed so there are sufficient escape routes. The following
sections describe two setups that include the necessary escape routes.
