Abstract: A method of reading a tag located on an object, wherein the tag includes tag values associated with the object, where the method includes obtaining a first sensor output, by reading the tag using a tag reader, the first sensor output being at least one of an erroneous and incomplete representation of the tag values of the tag and includes deriving at least one tag value from the first sensor output using a model, where the model is based on a first set of sensor outputs generated by the tag reader by reading a plurality of tags and tag values associated with the plurality of tags, and where the first set of sensor outputs includes a plurality of sensor outputs, where each sensor output includes at least one of an erroneous and incomplete representation of at least one tag value of the corresponding tag.

Abstract: A method for operating a driverless, mobile assembly and/or material transport unit as a driverless transport system (DTS) with fixed assembly and/or warehousing stations. In this method, a system control device is used for the entire assembly process. The driverless, mobile assembly and/or material transport units comprises a travel device for the traveling movement of the unit, a drive device for the travel device, an energy storage device for providing the energy for the drive device and a control device for controlling the traveling movement in coordination with the system control device.

Abstract: A handling device for feeding and/or removing workpieces as unfinished parts to and/or from machining or assembly equipment for machining and/or assembly purposes and for picking up workpieces as finished parts after machining and/or assembly has a feed position, at least one intermediate position and a removal position, in which in each case there are workpiece-carrier stack units comprising workpiece carriers which are arranged one above another, the workpiece carriers in turn being populated with the workpieces. A workpiece-carrier handling unit removes the workpiece carriers in a pick-up position and sets them down again in a removal position after machining, it being possible for these positions to be defined via a control device. A device of this type contributes to reducing the downtimes in machining equipment and has a beneficial influence on the cycle-time intervals during the machining of workpieces.
