Abstract
A warehouse system comprising a control device; a plurality of racks defining rack aisles each of which includes an access and is secured against unauthorized entry by an operator by the access, wherein a first sensor monitors whether the access is closed or open and transmits corresponding status signals to the control device; a plurality of rack serving units each of which travels in an automated manner along a rack aisle and includes a load handling device for storing and retrieving storage goods. Each load handling device has assigned a second sensor which detects whether the load handling device is in a retracted neutral position, currently extracts, or is extracted, and which transmits a corresponding state signal to the control device. The system further includes an aisle-serving switch device that communicates with the control device and can be shifted physically by an access key between automatic and maintenance positions.
