Abstract
A transport and manipulation system has an activity area in which a provisioning device is arranged which includes takeover and handover stations. The activity area includes a working area in which static workstations for manually executing processing orders are arranged, and a travel area, in which autonomous transport vehicles can move. Each transport vehicle is configured for automatically picking up a load carrier at the takeover station according to a transport order, transporting the load carrier to a workstation and depositing the load carrier at the workstation, or picking up the load carrier at the workstation, transporting the load carrier to the handover station and depositing the load carrier at the handover station. The travel area includes first and second travel sections defining therein first and second travel speeds, respectively. The second travel speed is higher than the first travel speed. The second travel section is bounded against the first travel section, wherein transport vehicles can pass the boundary at a passing zone.
