METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTING MATERIAL
A method and a system of transporting material are provided, wherein at least one mobile transport unit is detected by a detection device with a radar or laser detecting device. Position coordinates, position angles and speed of the transport unit are determined using a reference coordinate system and are transmitted to a stationary data processing device. A central material tracking with verification of storage locations is generated by the data processing device, wherein, particularly with use of the positing angle, a storage type for the material is automatically determined.
1 . A method of transporting material, wherein at least one mobile transport unit is detected using at least one data processing device, the method comprising:
emitting signals by a detection device connected to a transport unit; and
sending signals back to the detection device by response units,
wherein the detection device determines position coordinates and a position angle of the transport unit using at least one reference coordinates system for verifying a storage location of material.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a current speed of the transport unit is determined.
3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the position coordinates of the transport unit are automatically calibrated to a material-relevant point.
4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the position coordinates are supplemented by at least one area identifier.
5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the data processing device determines a type of storage of the material from the position angle.
6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the detection device emits radar signals.
7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein data are transmitted between the detection device and a data processing device connected to the transport unit.
8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein data is transmitted between the detection device and/or a data processing device connected to the transport unit and a stationary data processing device.
9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the data are transmitted wirelessly.
10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein material transport is controlled by the stationary data processing device and the data.
11 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein a storage inventory with discrete storage locations is verified and provided by the stationary data processing device and the data.
12 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein transport instructions, position, and/or material information is/are displayed visually using the data processing device connected to the transport unit.
