Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2022194813A1] The invention relates to a device (10) and a method (36) for parking workpiece carriers (18) in a docking station (20). The docking station (20) has at least one accommodating space for the workpieces (18). The docking station (20) can preferably be expanded in a modular manner by at least one further accommodating space. The docking station (20) has a position sensor (24) which is connected to a manufacturing execution system (MES) (14) and designed to report the correct parking position of the workpiece carrier (18) in the accommodating space to the MES (14). The MES (14) may be designed to bring about and control a movement of a driverless transport vehicle (16) on the basis of this notification.
