Abstract: A system for transporting goods, includes a transport container for holding goods, a driverless transport vehicle for transporting the transport container, and a transfer station, on which the transport container is positionable. The transport container includes a locking device, which is lockable to a first locking unit of the driverless transport vehicle, and to a second locking unit of the transfer station. In a method for transporting goods: the locking device of the transport container is locked to the first locking unit; the transport container is transported by the driverless transport vehicle to the transfer station; the locking device of the transport container is unlocked from the first locking unit; and the locking device of the transport container is locked to the second locking unit.

Abstract: In a method for operating a technical plant, which includes a work area for producing ready-to-ship products from delivered goods and a plurality of load carriers, each including a control, a drive connected to the control, and a communication interface, for transporting goods and for transporting products, goods are delivered to the technical plant, delivered goods are transported into the work area by the load carriers, products are produced in the work area from the goods transported into the work area, produced products are transported out of the work area by the load carriers, and products transported out of the work area are shipped out from the technical plant. A technical plant, which includes a work area for producing ready-to-ship products made from delivered goods, is operable using the method.

Abstract: In a method for producing a product in a technical plant, after receipt of an order for producing the product, components necessary for producing the product are identified, and work steps necessary for producing the product are identified. Identified components and work steps are entered in a product file stored on a transport system. The components entered in the product file are acquired by the transport system, which is documented in the product file, and the work steps entered in the product file are executed, which is documented in the product file. The product file remains on the transport system until the acquisition of each component and the execution of each work step are documented in the product file. A technical plant for producing a product, is adapted to execute the method and includes a transport system having a digital data memory for storing the product file.

Abstract: A mobile component having a roller bearing unit, in particular a mobile component having a steering roller, a roller, in particular a drive roller, being rotationally braced in a pivot unit, which is supported via a pivot bearing on the frame of the mobile component, the axes of rotation of the two pivot bearings in particular being aligned perpendicularly with respect to each other, the axis of rotation of the pivot bearing for pivoting parallel to the direction of the normal of the normal of the driving surface of the mobile component touched by the roller, a drum brake being developed on the roller, the actuation of the drum brake being able to be brought about by an electromagnet, which is connected on the frame of the mobile component, the drum brake being able to be actuated by the electromagnet via a wedge gear.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multidirectional transport module having a control system for the goods pack movement direction and having an interface for communication with other transport modules. In this case, the invention provides for the control system to be designed to reserve the transport module for the transport of at least one goods pack in a given goods pack movement direction, in response to signals received via the interface.
