Load carrier

A load carrier is used to transport or store goods, thus forming a transport or storage unit. There are different variants for this purpose, e. g. a pallet (load-bearing function), a stillage (containment function) or a container (locking function). In order to ensure system-side traceability in the material flow, each load carrier must be uniquely identifiable, for example by means of a barcode or a transponder. If necessary, a separate identification takes place at the goods receipt.
