Abstract

A system, especially an installation, having a vehicle which is maneuverable on a floor is described. The vehicle has an RFID reading device which is connected to an antenna SL, and when the antenna SL enters the coupling region of a floor-installed antenna connected to a stationary RFID transponder, especially an RFID tag, then data stored in the transponder are able to be read out by the reading device. One or more permanent magnet(s) is/are situated on the floor, in particular fixedly joined in the floor, and the vehicle includes a sensor for detecting the direction of the magnetic field.
