Abstract
A guiding vehicle (100) for an intralogistics system, wherein the guiding vehicle (100) is remote controlled or autonomous and configured to be connected to a self-propelled load bearing cart (200), and guide and control the propulsion of the self-propelled load bearing cart (200) such that the self-propelled load bearing cart (200) can transport a load in the intralogistics system. The guiding vehicle (100) comprising a mechanical connector (170) for mechanically connecting the guiding vehicle (100) to the self-propelled load bearing cart (200) and a connector for transferring data. The guiding vehicle (100) is configured to receive navigation data from the self-propelled load bearing cart (200), using the connector for transferring data, in the form of information concerning the movement of a drive wheel of the self-propelled load bearing cart (200) obtained from at least one motor of the self-propelled load bearing cart (200) or from at least one encoder connected to the drive wheel. And wherein the guiding vehicle (100) is smaller than the self-propelled load bearing cart (200).
