Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0822158A1] The method involves surveying a destination location using at least one master measuring system e.g. a camera (5) which travels freely at least one axis, and at least one mark located at one side of a transport facility (1). The camera respectively delivers object position to a slave (10) e.g. a laser scanner. The camera is either itself an object mark for the slave or positions a corresponding object mark for the slave. The slave determines the position of the object mark and positions the load reception facility e.g. a spreader (14) with or without goods opposite the object mark set by the master. The load reception facility travels in to the required position, for the reception or the discharge of goods.
