An automated carrier system is disclosed for moving objects to be processed. The automated carrier system includes a discontinuous plurality of track sections on which an automated carrier may be directed to move, and the automated carrier includes a base structure on which an object may be supported, and at least two wheels assemblies being pivotally supported on the base structure for pivoting movement from a first position to a second position to effect a change in direction of movement of the carrier.

A pouch (1) for a pouch sorter, wherein the pouch (1) has a divisible pouch base (2) with two pouch base halves (2.1, 2.2) which are connected to one another via a locking mechanism (3) and can be released from one another in a release position of the locking mechanism (3), wherein the locking mechanism (3) can be adjusted back and forth between a closed position and the release position by a drive (4), wherein the drive (4) has a shape memory element (5, 12) which can be supplied with an electric current via an electric power supply (7) of the pouch (1). Furthermore, a corresponding pouch sorter and a corresponding method are described.

In a transport carrier system for an overhead conveying device, a transport carrier includes a universally applicable base body and a supporting body exchangeable using a connecting device. The supporting body in a first configuration has a completely enclosed receiving opening and is configured for transporting transport bags, and in a second configuration has a suspension hook and is configured for transporting an article suspended on a clothes hanger. The connecting device includes a profile groove and a profile projection each extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The profile groove forms an undercut and has an insertion opening on the end side in the direction of its longitudinal extension. The profile projection includes a profile web and a profile head formed thereon so as to expand the cross section. Moreover, an overhead conveying device has such a transport carrier system.

A transport bag includes a closure device for detachably connecting the front wall to the rear wall in the closure state for receiving the conveying good and for releasing the connection from the closure state into the open state for releasing the conveying good. The locking of the closure device is performed with the aid of an electric drive. The reversible closing lock is achieved with the aid of the spring of the solenoid. For the opening of the closure device, the solenoid is switched for a short time and the reversible closing lock is released. The switching takes place in the unloading station by supplying electric current to the electric contacts with the aid of the electric switching contacts of the unloading station.

Provided are a roll body extractor that extracts roll bodies from reels and store the roll bodies in cases having radio tags, respectively, and a storage warehouse that includes a plurality of storage positions for storing the cases storing the roll bodies. Furthermore, provided are a reading unit that acquires component information, an identification information generator that generates identification information for identifying a component, a writing unit that writes the component information and the identification information in the radio tag, and a contactless reader that reads the identification information written in the radio tag. Further, the component information written in the radio tag and the identification information are stored in association with each other, and storage position information generated by specifying the storage position and the identification information read by the contactless reader are stored in association with each other.
