Abstract

A system for intralogistics comprising a self-propelled load bearing cart (200, 200′, 200″, 200′″, 200B) and a remote controlled or autonomous self-propelled guide unit (100, 100′). The self-propelled load bearing cart (200, 200′, 200″, 200′″, 200B) comprises a drive unit (223) comprising at least one drive wheel (222) for propelling the self-propelled load bearing cart (200, 200′, 200″, 200′″, 200B), a mechanical connection (172), and a computing unit (253) connected to the drive unit (223). The computing unit (253) comprises a transceiving unit (253′) for communicating with the remote controlled or autonomous self-propelled guide unit (100, 100), and the remote controlled or autonomous self-propelled guide unit (100, 100′) comprises a mechanical connection (171) configured to connect to the mechanical connection (172) of the self-propelled load bearing cart (200, 200′, 200″, 200′, 200B), such that a mechanical interconnection can be created between the remote controlled or autonomous self-propelled guide unit (100, 100′) and the self-propelled bearing cart (200, 200′, 200″, 200′, 200B).
