Abstract

A logistics system includes a first high-bay rack, at least one further high-bay rack, and at least one robot arm with a plurality of links and joints connecting the links for relative adjustment. One of the links is a bottom link of the robot arm which forms a base. The first high-bay rack has a first robot arm carrier with a first coupling device which, in a state in which the robot arm is coupled to the first robot arm carrier, interacts with a counter-coupling device of the bottom link of the robot arm in such a way that, in a first configuration of the logistics system, the bottom link of the robot arm is connected to the first robot arm carrier in an automatically locked and automatically releasable manner. The further high-bay rack has a further robot arm carrier with a further coupling device which, in a state in which the robot arm is coupled to the further robot arm carrier, interacts with the counter-coupling device of the bottom link of the robot arm in such a way that, in a second configuration of the logistics system, which is different from the first configuration, the bottom link of the robot arm is connected to the further robot arm carrier in an automatically locked and automatically releasable manner.
