Abstract

The autonomous and intelligent load carrier embodies the idea of the Internet of things in intra-logistics. Using the example of the inBin, the energy harvesting is examined in the intra-logistics and it is shown that photovoltaic cells can power a small container (bin) with complex logistical functions under realistic lighting conditions.
