A work station in a manufacturing facility includes a cart having four wheels that moves on a floor in the manufacturing facility to deliver parts to the work station. A magnetic locking system for locking the cart at the work station includes a base attached to the floor at the work station, the base having a vertical wall, an electromagnet extending outward perpendicularly from the vertical wall, a damper having a cylinder extending outward perpendicularly from the vertical wall and a piston movable within the cylinder along a horizontal axis through the cylinder and perpendicular to the vertical wall for slowing the cart as the cart approaches the electromagnet, and a limit switch for detecting the cart being adjacent to the vertical wall.
