Abstract
The present invention relates to a logistics area () comprising a plurality of planar units (), wherein each planar unit () is equipped with at least one encoder () having at least one sensor array () for determining the position and/or positioning of at least one mover (), wherein the at least one mover () comprises magnets arranged in at least one pole pitch grid, wherein further the plurality of planar units () being arranged to a surface in such a way that the encoders () of the planar units () form at least an at least area-wise uniform grid, wherein the distance of the encoders () of at least two planar units () and/or at least two encoders () of a planar unit () corresponds to a multiple of the pole pair width of the magnets of the at least one mover (), as well as a method for operating at least one logistics surface and a computer program product as well as a control unit for a logistics surface.
