Abstract: A logistics service system may include at least three tubes, and a carrier configured to hold goods items. The carrier may be provided with a permanent magnet. Means for propulsion of the carrier may be provided in the tubes. A control unit may be provided. A switching device may be arranged to connect a first one of the tubes with a second and a third tube. The switching device may be configured to redirect the carrier from the first tube into the second or the third tube. The switching device may include electromagnets provided along the second and the third tubes. The control unit may be configured to activate the electromagnets of one of the second or the third tube, into which the carrier is destined, to guide the carrier into an intended tube.

Abstract: A logistics service system (10) comprising at least one tube (14, 16, 43) connecting at least one terminal (11, 12, 70), at least one carrier (17) configured to hold goods (48) to be handled in the logistics service system (10), at least one switching device (51) arranged to connect at least two of said tubes (14, 16, 43), and configured to redirect said carrier (17) from one of said tubes into another of said tubes, at least one means for propulsion (15) of the at least one carrier (17) in said tube (14, 16, 43), at least one control unit (29, 50), and wherein all above being configured to produce logistics services that includes both storing and transport functions.
