A storage surface for a semiconductor substrate carrier has substrate carrier sensors that are integrated with locator pins. Each locator pin includes a pin body mounted on, and extending upwardly from, the surface. The pin body has a slot formed at an upper portion of the pin body. A paddle is mounted in the slot of the pin body and is adapted to be actuated in a downward direction when a substrate carrier is seated on the pin body. The pin body has an uppermost point, and when the paddle is unactuated, the paddle does not extend above the uppermost point of the pin body.
