Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023149833A1] A self-propelled adaptor unit (200) for use in an intralogistics system comprises a motor, and at least one drive wheel connected to the motor for propelling the self-propelled adaptor unit. The self-propelled adaptor unit further comprises a first mechanical connection (280) configured to connect to a mechanical connection (380) of a load bearing unit (300), and a second mechanical connection (270) configured to connect to a mechanical connection (170) of a self- propelled autonomous or remote-controlled guide unit (100). The self- propelled adaptor unit further comprises a sensor to generate data related to movement of the drive wheel and a computer connected to the motor and the at least one drive wheel, the computer comprises a receiver for receiving instructions from a self-propelled autonomous or remote-controlled guide unit for controlling the motor. The self-propelled adaptor unit is configured to push or pull the load bearing unit in a substantially horizontal direction and/or lift the load bearing unit up or down. Further disclosed is a system comprising said adaptor unit, said load bearing unit and said self-propelled autonomous or remote-controlled guide unit..
