Abstract
A method for actuating transport carriers in order to transport hanging articles on an overhead conveying device for an order-picking system includes a track marking provided along a transport path. The transport carrier is moved according to a driving specification, which is stored in a memory of the transport carrier. The track marking comprises a query marking, which marks a diverter section and at which the driving specification from the electronic memory is accessed. According to the driving specification, the transport carrier can be moved straight ahead or diverted in the diverter section. The track marking further comprises a notification marking, at which a further driving specification for subsequent diverter sections is transmitted to the transport carrier. A corresponding transport carrier and an overhead conveying device are also disclosed.
