Description

[0001] Transport panel and procedures

[0002] Description

[0003] The invention relates to a method for assembling a transport panel according to claim 1, a method for planning a construction of a transport panel according to one of claims 10 or 11, a transport panel according to claim 12, a method for transporting a transport panel according to claim 16 and a construction area for the construction of a transport panel according to claim 17. The invention relates to a digital twin according to claim 18. The invention relates to a floor module according to claim 19.

[0004] It is known in the state of the art to design and construct packaging in order to package and transport machines, machine parts and systems, or mock-ups (also referred to as transport goods) of such.

[0005] In the current state of the art, systems are assembled at their destination and are often delivered in individual parts. The destination can be a production hall, a machine park, or something similar. A system can be, for example, a machine line or a production system within a machine park, which can represent a production line to enable the manufacture of a complex product from initial components. For example, this can include filling containers, such as a drug or medication, and can also be understood as the production and / or filling of thermoformed packaging, plisters, and pre-filled syringes. Containers, such as glass bottles, so-called vials, can be transferred to a filling system. The containers can be picked up in the filling system to initiate the filling process. Initial quality assurance can eliminate potentially damaged containers.The containers can be treated in a single step, for example by undergoing a sterilization step or mechanically cleaning. Filling can take place in a single step, in particular filling the drug or medication. Upstream or downstream process machines for cleaning, sorting, packaging and / or palletizing can be provided. Quality control can be carried out, for example weighing the filled container or spectroscopic examination of the container contents after filling. The container can also be sealed in the system. Corresponding system technology can also be used for hygiene and consumer goods, but also for the production and packaging of aircraft seats. In all of these cases, the system comprises, in particular, several parts, which can be designed as individual machines or machine parts.These different parts enable the various process steps to be implemented, from the delivery of the containers to the final dispensing of the filled containers. It can be important that the individual parts of the system are precisely arranged in relation to one another and, if necessary, are mechanically and / or functionally connected to one another. Therefore, precise relative positioning of the parts of the system to one another is important. However, the system may be too large to be delivered in one piece. The system can therefore be delivered in several parts. The individual parts, which may themselves be complex machines, are transported separately from the other parts of the system. In the context of complex machines and / or parts of a system, one can speak of a (complex, especially assembled) transport item.The term “goods to be transported” can refer to the largest functional-technical unit still to be transported and / or to the smallest functional-technical unit that can still be transported in an economically viable manner.

[0006] For transport, it is known in the art to arrange parts of systems and / or machines, or the transport goods described above, on pallets and package them for transport. This packaging can lead to contamination of the transported goods, which can require critical time for cleaning, particularly in cleanliness-sensitive areas such as the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, the optical manufacturing industry, the chip manufacturing industry, and / or with analytical and laboratory equipment. This requires the use of resources, which increases costs.

[0007] Packaging specifications or load securing measures are implemented in particular by packers and / or incorporated into a packaging manufacturing process, in particular immediately before transport.

[0008] The same applies to hygiene-sensitive industries, such as the food processing or food manufacturing industries. These may have different cleanliness requirements in terms of particle densities and / or concentrations, but the introduction of biological material into the work process may be relevant. This may require time for the biological and chemical cleaning of transported goods.

[0009] Furthermore, the pallet must be disposed of, necessitating further use of resources, which also increases costs. For example, at the time of filing, or rather at the priority date, one square meter of wooden packaging costs between €50 and €100.

[0010] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to make transport more efficient, to improve the precision of the assembly of a complex system or a complex machine from transport goods at the destination, and to improve hygiene and cleanliness during transport.

[0011] The object is achieved in particular by a method for constructing a transport panel according to claim 1, further in particular by a method for planning a construction of a transport panel according to one of claims 10 or 11, further in particular by a transport panel according to claim 12, further in particular by a method for transporting a transport panel according to claim 16 and further in particular by a construction area for the construction of a transport panel according to claim 17. The object is achieved in particular by a digital twin according to claim 18. The object is achieved by a floor module according to claim 19.

[0012] According to one aspect of the invention, the object is achieved in particular by a method which is designed to construct a transport panel. The method comprises a step of presenting a basic security module. The method further comprises arranging at least one transport lock on the basic security module. The method further comprises the step of assembling at least one item of goods to be transported on the basic security module. The item of goods can in particular be a (complex) item of goods to be assembled, such as a part of a system. Additionally or alternatively, it can be part of a machine and / or a machine itself. This makes transport more efficient, improves the precision of assembling a complex system or a complex machine from goods at the destination, and improves hygiene and cleanliness during transport.This enables faster transport and faster commissioning of the system. This saves resources and reduces costs. The basic security module is particularly designed to be pre-positioned and arranged so that at least the goods to be transported can be installed on the basic security module. The basic security module can also be referred to as a baseplate. The transport lock is particularly designed to be arranged on the basic security module. In this case, the arrangement can take place in advance and / or simultaneously with the installation of the goods to be transported. The transport lock can be designed to secure at least one area of ​​the goods to be transported. This makes it possible for the goods to be transported to be installed directly on the basic security module.Alternatively or additionally, the basic safety module can be individually adapted to the load being transported and can be installed together with it. This eliminates the need to lift the load onto a pallet after it has been assembled. This reduces the risk of damage when lifting it onto the pallet. Furthermore, a pallet, which can be made of wood, for example, can be eliminated entirely, increasing the hygiene and cleanliness of the transport.

[0013] Furthermore, in particular, the at least one transport securing device is placed on the basic securing module before the transported goods are assembled, or assigned to it in such a way that the basic securing module, with the transported goods assembled on it and the at least one transport securing device, form a transport panel. The transport securing device is arranged in particular in such a way that it is adapted to the transported goods to be assembled. Weak points or particular stress points of the transported goods can be taken into account during assembly and included in the transport securing planning. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one transport securing device can be planned into the structure of the transported goods in such a way that the transport securing device can be arranged (or moved into the structure) when the location for the transport securing device is (optimally) accessible. This simplifies assembly and thus improves it.

[0014] In other words, this means that, in particular, no packaging needs to be assembled after the transport item has been completed, which then has to be disposed of. In particular, the packaging and a transport pallet can be completely eliminated. The transport panel can thus represent a self-contained transport device in which the transport item is created in a single assembly process with the basic securing module or on the basic securing module, with the transport securing of the transport item being adapted to the transport item during the assembly process. This allows the transport panel to provide adapted transport support for the transport item. For example, the transport item can be supported at points where support may be necessary.

[0015] According to one aspect, the at least one transport securing device can be at least one support structure, in particular at least one crossbeam, which is designed to be arranged on the basic security module. The at least one support structure, in particular as the at least one crossbeam, is arranged on the basic security module in such a way that the at least one item of goods to be transported can be arranged on the at least one support structure, in particular as the at least one crossbeam, during assembly in such a way as to support the area of ​​the item to be transported. The area can in particular be a floor area of ​​the item to be transported. This can provide support for the item to be transported, allowing it to be craned and stacked. This facilitates handling and increases safety.

[0016] A cross member (also referred to as a cross brace or cross member) is in particular a support structure that runs parallel to the surface of the basic security module. In particular, a recess and / or a receptacle can be provided on the cross member, which can allow intervention by a crane and / or a forklift. The cross member can in particular have a rectangular, square and / or elliptical cross-section. In this case, crane operation refers in particular to the lifting of the transport panel by means of a crane. Stacking refers in particular to the lifting of the transport panel with a forklift. A system can also be supplied in this way. In addition to a forklift or a crane, other lifting devices can also be provided.

[0017] According to one aspect, the at least one crossbeam is arranged on the basic securing module in such a way as to construct the goods to be transported relative to the basic securing module and relative to the at least one support structure, in particular the at least one crossbeam, in order to support the area of ​​the goods to be transported during crane lifting and / or stacking. As previously described, the area can in particular be the base area of ​​the goods to be transported. This increases the safety of crane lifting and stacking.

[0018] Here and elsewhere, the floor area refers in particular to an area of ​​a transport item that is assigned to the floor at the destination or which is assigned to the floor on the basic safety module. When craned or stacked, tipping of the transport panel is particularly important, which is why the transport panel and thus the transport item to be transported can be transported in an oriented manner. However, a transport item can be designed in such a way that there are areas that are spaced from the surface of the basic safety module. At these points, lifting the basic safety module can introduce material tension and stress into the transport item. This can be caused, for example, by the dead weight of the transport item at this point or by the force introduced during lifting (both when craned and when stacking). An example of this could be a transport item that is mounted on feet.The feet can create a gap between the goods being transported and the basic safety module. The area of ​​the goods being transported which faces the basic safety module and on which it is arranged with its feet standing can be referred to as the floor area. Without the crossbeams, crane lifting may not be possible because there are no lifting points for a crane. The crossbeams are arranged in particular between the basic safety module and the floor area of ​​the goods being transported. This transfers the load of the goods being transported via the floor area and via the crossbeams to the basic safety module. In one embodiment, it can be provided that the crossbeams have a receptacle which faces the sides / edges of the basic safety module, in particular the side / edge via which a forklift can either engage with the crossbeams or via the sides via which a forklift can drive under the basic safety module.Furthermore, the receptacles can be designed in such a way that a crane anchor can be attached in order to enable stacking and / or crane lifting via the crossbeams.

[0019] The crossbeams are arranged in a force-fitting manner between the lifting area of ​​the base plate (during stacking), the support area of ​​the crossbeams and the support area of ​​the area on the crossbeams, in particular the floor area of ​​the transported goods. The same applies to crane operations, whereby the crossbeams can be connected to the basic securing module in order to crane, i.e. lift, the transport panel - in particular the basic securing module, the transported goods and the transport securing device - via the crossbeams. The force-fitting connection supports the transported goods during lifting and the risk of damage can thus be reduced. In particular, this makes it possible to set up the transported goods in the same way as they will later be set up at their destination. This means that the feet do not have to be dispensed with in order to enable crane operations and / or stacking with minimal damage.This can speed up the setup process, as the transport panel can be loaded onto or unloaded from a truck, aircraft, railway carriage and / or shipping container using appropriate spacers, particularly feet, on the goods being transported. The crossbeams can be used to provide points of attachment for crane lifting and / or stacking. The crossbeams eliminate the need to lift the goods in a pre-assembled form from a pallet (which, as described above, is also no longer necessary) (which can already be very time-consuming because there are no points of attachment for crane lifting or stacking), to then attach the spacers, particularly the feet, and then, in a further step, to set down the goods being transported at the destination.This makes transport more efficient and improves the precision of erecting a complex system or machine from transported goods at its destination. This enables faster transport and commissioning of the system. This saves resources and reduces costs. In other words, the transport platform allows for the transport of a load that is ready for installation (in terms of weight and mechanical aspects), the crane-loading and stacking of the load to and from various transport platforms, and the transport to the destination.

[0020] In one embodiment, it can be provided to release a connection between the crossbeams and a basic securing module (at the destination) in such a way as to enable the crossbeams with the goods to be lifted arranged on them to be craned / stacking in order to bring the goods to their final location. After the crossbeams with the goods to be transported have been set down, the crossbeams can be pulled out from underneath the goods to be transported, as the spacers (support feet, support legs) can bear the weight of the goods to be transported. The crossbeams can also be attached to the goods to be transported with additional transport securing devices that have been previously installed. In this case, it can be provided to release this transport securing device from underneath the goods to remove the crossbeams. This makes it possible for the goods to be transported to not have to be suspended in the air in order to install spacers before the goods to be transported to their final location.This can make transport more efficient, improve the precision of assembling a complex system or machine from transported goods at its destination, and improve handling and safety. This enables faster transport and commissioning of the system, saving resources and reducing costs.

[0021] According to a further aspect, the transport securing device can have at least one fixation for at least one standing area of ​​the goods to be transported. The standing area is designed in particular as at least one supporting leg or as at least one supporting foot. The fixation can be arranged on the basic security module in such a way as to construct the standing area of ​​the goods to be transported. The standing area therefore particularly comprises the spacers described above, which, starting from a base area of ​​the goods to be transported, space the goods to be transported from the basic security module. The fixation can limit or completely prevent slipping of the goods to be transported in a direction of extension of the basic security module. According to one embodiment, the at least one fixation can be designed to enable construction of the standing area and / or at least one spacer in the fixation.In particular, the standing area or the spacer can be attached in at least one fixation.

[0022] It may be possible to create a support area over the previously described crossbeams on which a base area of ​​the transported goods can be placed.

[0023] In other words, there may be embodiments in which at least one spacer is arranged in a fixation and wherein a floor area is arranged on the crossbeams (which may be detachably connected to the basic securing module). In this case, a connection can be formed between the floor area and the at least one spacer. It is also possible for the floor area to be securely (detachably) connected to the crossbeams. This enables the transported goods to be assembled in a coordinated process together with the transport securing devices. This allows the arrangement and design of the transport securing devices to be individually and specifically adapted to the transported goods to be assembled.Furthermore, the arrangement of the transport securing devices no longer depends solely on an accessible area after completion, but can be adapted to the force and load distribution of the goods to be assembled and transported.

[0024] According to a further aspect, the basic security module can have at least one first orientation marking. An assembly area for the assembly of the transport panel can have at least one second orientation marking. The first orientation marking can be formed on the basic security module and arranged such that it can be arranged relative to the at least second orientation marking in order to orient the basic security module relative to the assembly area. This makes it possible to provide coordinated assembly within the assembly area. Coordinated assembly is possible, for example, with other facilities in the assembly area. This makes it possible to improve the precision of assembly of the transport goods for a complex system or a complex machine. This enables faster assembly. This saves resources and reduces costs. An assembly area can be a production building, an assembly hall, ora floor of a manufacturing room.

[0025] The first orientation marking on the basic security module can in particular be one of a marking of the corners of the basic security module, a marking of at least two sides of the basic security module and / or a marking of a central line (Engi, a so-called "centerline").

[0026] As a second orientation marking, at least one marking can be provided in the assembly area, for example on a floor and / or on a wall of the assembly area, which can clearly fix an orientation of the basic security module relative to the assembly area. Corresponding continuations of the first orientation marking, such as a continuation of a central line, can be provided. Alternatively or additionally, complementary markings can also be provided which allow the completion of a shape by first and second orientation markings to determine an orientation of the basic security module relative to the assembly area. In this case, at least one line can be extended (as in the case of the central line). Alternatively or additionally, a geometric (basic) shape can be completed, such as a circle, a rectangle, a rhombus, an oval / ellipse and / or a square.

[0027] Alternatively or additionally, at least one further orientation marking may be provided on at least one component of the load to be assembled to facilitate its orientation and installation relative to the basic security module. This may be referred to as the third orientation marking.

[0028] This means that the basic security module can be positioned relative to supply lines, for example, in order to enable assembly relative to these supply lines, but also by utilizing a predetermined distance for connection to these supply lines. Supply lines can be designed, for example, to supply a data stream, an electrical current and / or a fluid. It is also possible to provide just one supply line. A fluid can be a process fluid, a rinsing fluid and / or a pressurized fluid (compressed air, nitrogen, inert and / or reactive gases, inert and / or reactive fluids). This makes it possible to assemble one part of the system on the basic security module in such a way that the assembly area remains intact and work can be carried out with high precision.This improves the construction itself, reduces construction times, saves resources, reduces costs and at the same time improves the quality of the construction of the transport panel as well as that part of the system.

[0029] Furthermore, the basic security module can be positioned relative to at least one holding device in the assembly area. This allows for the assembly to be carried out in a spatially fixed orientation. This can facilitate assembly, which can reduce the complexity of the assembly even in times of skilled labor shortages and allows for the incorporation of a procedural structure into the assembly (in the sense of implementing it). Orientation relative to tool storage can also be enabled, thereby further reducing the time required for assembly and thus saving additional resources.

[0030] According to a further aspect, several basic security modules can be provided in a setup area in order to set up several transport goods. The basic security modules can have at least a first type of orientation markings, which are designed and arranged in such a way as to arrange the basic security modules relative to one another in order to set up the transport goods to be transported relative to one another. In particular, several parts of a system and / or a machine can be provided as transport goods. These can in particular be set up in a coordinated manner. This can improve the setup of the transport goods of a complex system or a complex machine. This enables faster transport and faster commissioning of the system. This saves resources and reduces costs.

[0031] In this case, coordinated assembly refers in particular to the possibility of assembling the transport goods accordingly in their functional context. The transport panels can also be constructed in such a way that their transfer to the final installation location for the assembly of a system and / or a machine can be improved. The transport panels can be transported accordingly to the destination and arranged precisely relative to one another. In this case, a transport method, as described elsewhere, can provide for at least one step in which at least two transport panels can be arranged relative to one another at a destination location in an assembly area according to the final orientation, during or before the transport goods are transferred to the final installation location.This allows for the implementation of a quality control step in which the transported goods and their relative orientation to each other can be verified via the orientation markings at a destination and / or at the production site. A reference can also be established between the destination and / or the production site, enabling control of transport safety.

[0032] According to a further aspect, at least one film can be provided. The at least one film can be arranged at least to arrange the at least one basic security module on the film. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one film can be arranged at least to arrange the film on the basic security module. In particular, the film is arranged on the basic security module in such a way that the at least one transport lock can be arranged on the film.

[0033] The at least one film is in particular designed and arranged in such a way as to wrap the at least one item of goods to be transported in the film.

[0034] In one embodiment, several films are arranged, in particular three films, whereby an outer film, also designed as a membrane, can provide a barrier to the outside of the transport panel. The membrane can, in particular, allow selective gas passage while preventing dirt particles and other solids from entering the transport panel.

[0035] Furthermore, a film can be provided, which is arranged above the basic security module (starting from the floor of the assembly area or the installation site). This film can be designed and arranged to surround the transported goods and, in particular, to shield them from the environment. This film can also be designed as a membrane. This can further improve the hygiene, cleanliness, and safety of the transport.

[0036] According to a transport method described elsewhere, an initial standard of safety, cleanliness, and / or hygiene can be ensured upon delivery by the first-described film (the first-described membrane). This allows for the removal of coarse dirt that may fall onto the outer film during the transport process, because this film can be removed before delivery to a predetermined location at the recipient's site. This further improves the hygiene, cleanliness, and safety of the transport.

[0037] The second film described serves in particular to maintain a second safety and / or cleanliness and / or hygiene standard, especially when used in combination with the first-described outermost film (or membrane). The second, particularly inner film (or membrane) can also retain fine dust particles, which is why contamination can be significantly reduced after removal of the first film. Furthermore, cleanroom standards can also be achieved by removing the second, inner film. This can further improve the hygiene, cleanliness, and safety of transport.

[0038] According to a further aspect, the at least one item of goods to be transported can be wrapped by the at least one film in such a way as to form an interior region of the film with the goods to be transported accommodated therein. This interior region is designed to evacuate the interior region or fill it with a fluid. This can further improve the hygiene, cleanliness, and safety of the transport. In particular, pressurization can prevent contaminants from accumulating on the goods to be transported.

[0039] According to a further aspect, the basic security module can have two boundary surfaces. These are located, in particular, opposite one another, and one of them can be designed and arranged to (directly) receive a load. This load can be absorbed, in particular, by the transported goods arranged on this boundary surface. In particular, at least one strut is arranged between the boundary surfaces. In this case, the strut (when the basic security module is installed) is arranged, in particular, in a region of a load absorption by the at least one boundary surface. In this case, the at least one transported goods, when installed on the boundary surface, can transfer the load at least temporarily to the boundary surface in an area that is supported by the at least one strut. In this way, the basic security module can also be individually and specifically adapted to the load and force distributions during transport of the transport panel.

[0040] According to an independent aspect, the object can be achieved by a method for planning the structure of a transport panel. This can in particular be a computer-implemented method. The method in particular comprises the step of presenting a digital twin of a basic security module. The method in particular comprises the step of presenting digital twins of individual parts. The digital twins of the individual parts can be combined to form a digital twin of a cargo item to be transported. The cargo item can in particular be part of a system and / or a machine and / or a machine. As a result, the structure of the cargo item, in particular of the part of the system, the part of the machine and / or the machine, on the basic security module can be planned. The method in particular comprises a step of presenting a digital twin of the at least one transport security device.This improves the precision of the assembly of transported goods, enabling faster transport and faster commissioning of the system, saving resources and reducing costs.

[0041] The assembly of the goods to be transported can be planned based on the digital twins of the individual parts that can be combined to form a single transport item. The arrangement of the digital twins of the individual parts can be planned in a coordinated manner on the basic security module to carry out the assembly of the goods to be transported (following the planning). The arrangement and design of at least one transport security device can be integrated into the assembly. This allows for more efficient assembly and / or transport, improves the precision of assembling a complex system or machine from transport items at the destination, and improves hygiene and cleanliness during transport.

[0042] Alternatively or additionally, a method, in particular as a computer-implemented method, for planning the structure of a transport panel can be provided, which comprises the step of presenting a digital twin of a basic security module. This can involve presenting a digital twin of an item of goods to be transported, in particular a part of a system and / or a machine and / or a machine itself. The step of presenting a digital twin of the at least one transport security device can be provided.

[0043] The structure of the goods to be transported can be planned on the basic security module. The arrangement and design of at least one transport security device can be incorporated into the structure. This allows for more efficient assembly and / or transport, improved precision in the assembly of a complex system or machine from transport goods at the destination, and improved hygiene and cleanliness during transport.

[0044] A digital twin can, in particular, be a computer program product, which can, in particular, be stored on a storage device of a computing system. The digital twin can, in particular, digitally replicate the technical, functional, and geometric features of a real product, a real device, or a real system. In particular, a digital twin is an exact digital replica of an object according to the invention stored and / or processed and / or output on a storage medium of a computer, by a computer, a processor, and / or a machine processing unit. An exact digital replica can be understood here, in particular, to mean dimensions, distances, size ratios, units of measurement, thickness, properties related to material, hardness, extensibility coefficients, brittleness, deformability, shearing behavior, etc.can be determined, experimentally (in the form of calculable and outputtable) verifiable. In particular, a digital twin can be used to check, plan and / or optimize a large number of parameters and / or properties that can be determined in the real world, in particular through laboratory experiments, and / or optimized through a series of test productions. Furthermore, individualization of certain components of the digital twin is possible. For example, the relative positions of the basic safety module and any elements arranged therein, such as struts and / or chamber structures, in particular honeycomb structures, to a load-bearing area of ​​a boundary surface can be input and output. Furthermore, the dimensions and relative arrangements of the transported goods and / or the basic safety module can be stored as an electronic signal by a computing unit, as described above.A computer-implemented process can also be used to analyze and / or predict the load and force distribution during crane lifting and / or stacking. Based on this, the design and / or dimensions of the transport securing devices can be adjusted and / or selected. Alternatively or additionally, the positions of the transport securing devices can be adjusted and / or selected to minimize the loads on the transported goods during assembly and / or transport, particularly during crane lifting or stacking.

[0045] In other words, a computer program product can be provided that can carry out the steps of a previously described method for planning a structure of a transport panel when it is carried out on a computing unit (CPU) of a computer.

[0046] According to an independent aspect, the problem can be solved by a transport panel. The transport panel, in particular, has at least one basic safety module. The transport panel can have at least one (assembled) item of goods to be transported. The item of goods can, in particular, be part of a system and / or a machine. The transport panel can have at least one transport safety device.

[0047] The goods to be transported can be secured via the transport securing device on the basic securing module. The transport securing device can be designed and arranged to secure at least one area of ​​the goods to be transported. In particular, the goods to be transported are mounted directly on the basic securing module and the transport securing devices are adapted to the goods to be transported, in particular in terms of their design, dimensions and / or arrangement. The load on the goods to be transported can be optimized, in particular by the (internal) design of the basic securing module. Additionally or alternatively, the load acting on the goods to be transported during transport of the goods, for example by crane or stacking, can be minimized, in particular by the choice and / or arrangement of the transport securing devices.This can minimize the impact of force and / or load, particularly in the area of ​​transport securing devices. This can make assembly and / or transport more efficient, improve the precision of assembly of a complex system or machine from transported goods at the destination, and improve hygiene and cleanliness during transport.

[0048] In particular, the above statements regarding the method also apply accordingly to the transport panel device and to the system comprising multiple panel devices. Furthermore, the methods can be specified by the features of the device and the system. The same applies to the advantages and functions. The method, device, and system can be described by the features, advantages, and functions of the respective other category or categories.

[0049] According to one aspect, the transport securing device can have at least one support structure, in particular a crossbeam, which is arranged on the basic securing module in such a way that the goods to be transported are constructed relative to the basic securing module and relative to the at least one support structure, in particular at least one crossbeam, in order to support the area of ​​the goods to be transported during a crane and / or stacking. As described elsewhere, the goods to be transported can, in particular, be part of a system or a machine. The area can, in particular, be a floor area, as described elsewhere.

[0050] Alternatively or additionally, the transport tray can have a cover strip designed and arranged to accommodate a cover on the transport tray. In particular, the cover strip can be a profile strip that has a receiving profile for a cover, in particular a packaging cover. This can further improve the protection of the goods being transported.

[0051] The hood strip (also referred to as hood profile) can be provided as an additional profile, which is arranged on at least one basic safety profile, in particular in such a way that the following layering can result (from the baseplate as the uppermost basic element): basic safety module (baseplate), membrane (foil), hood strip as additional profile, further baseplate and / or sheet and / or transport pallet (this possibly resting on a floor).

[0052] A hood can be a structure that surrounds a transport panel as an outer casing. This can comprise at least one stainless steel sheet and / or at least one film. The hood can, in particular, comprise metal, plastic, and / or wood, in particular plywood.

[0053] Alternatively or additionally, the transport panel can have a floor construction device, in particular a floor construction strip, which is arranged and designed on the basic security module in such a way to connect the basic security module to another basic security module to form a floor profile (synonym: floor element; floor module). In this case (in order to form a floor profile), a profile strip can be provided, which can in particular be arranged on an edge of the basic security module. This profile strip can be an edge profile, an L-profile or other suitable profiles. The profile strip can in this case be designed to be arranged on an edge of two basic security modules and in particular to be connected to them, in such a way as to connect the two basic security modules to form a basic security module, in particular to form a floor element.In particular, two profile strips can be assembled (to form a T-shape) to create a mount for two basic security modules, and / or the profile strip can be designed as a T-profile. The T-shape allows for alignment relative to the basic security profiles and facilitates installation. An L-profile can also be provided. This is simpler in design. An I-profile, which rests on the two basic security modules, can also be provided.

[0054] An aspect can also be provided in which a floor element can be formed, or in which a floor element is formed. This allows for easy positioning and an installation situation can be realized. Nevertheless, it can be possible to quickly resume repositioning if required by a user, end user, customer, and / or user.

[0055] According to a further aspect, the transport panel can have at least one film. The film can be arranged at least beneath the at least one basic security module. Alternatively or additionally, the film can be arranged on the basic security module, as described elsewhere, such that the at least one transport lock is arranged on the film. In this case, the transport lock can in particular be a fixing device for a spacer, as described elsewhere. The at least one film can be designed and arranged to enclose the at least one part to be transported in the film, as described elsewhere. The film can be of the type and arranged as described in detail with regard to the methods, which leads to the effects and advantages mentioned there. Repetition is omitted for reasons of compactness and readability.

[0056] According to a further aspect, the at least one film can envelop the at least one item of goods to be transported in such a way that an interior region of the film is formed with the goods to be transported accommodated therein. The interior region is particularly designed to evacuate the interior region or to fill it with a fluid. A discharge line or a supply line can also be provided in the film to create the vacuum or to enable the inflow of a pressurized fluid.

[0057] According to a further independent aspect, the object is achieved in particular by a method for transporting a transport platform. The method in particular comprises a crane lifting step. Alternatively or additionally, the method comprises a stacking step. The transport securing device has at least one support structure, in particular a crossbeam, which is arranged on the basic securing module in such a way that the goods to be transported, in particular the part of the system and / or the machine, are constructed relative to the basic securing module and relative to the at least one support structure, in particular the at least one crossbeam, in order to support the area of ​​the goods to be transported during the crane lifting and / or stacking. The area can in particular be a floor area, as described elsewhere.

[0058] According to a further independent aspect, the object is achieved in particular by an assembly area. This can in particular be a production building, such as a factory hall. The assembly area is designed and equipped in particular for the assembly of a transport panel, as has been described in detail elsewhere. In this case, the at least one basic security module has in particular at least one first orientation marking. Furthermore, the assembly area for the assembly of the transport panel has in particular at least one second orientation marking. In this case, the first orientation marking on the basic security module is in particular designed and arranged in such a way that it can be arranged relative to the at least second orientation marking in order to orient the basic security module relative to the assembly area. This enables a coordinated assembly within the

[0059] assembly area. This enables coordinated assembly, for example, with other facilities in the assembly area. This saves resources during assembly and improves assembly precision. It also allows different transport panels with different transport goods for a system to be set up at different assembly locations, as the orientation markings enable calibration and / or relative orientation. Using the orientation markings, the basic safety module can be positioned relative to supply lines, for example, to enable assembly relative to these supply lines, but also to utilize a predetermined distance for connection to these supply lines. Supply lines can be designed, for example, to supply a data stream, an electrical current and / or fluids.It is also possible to provide only one supply line. The fluid can be a process fluid, a rinsing fluid, and / or a pressurized fluid (compressed air, nitrogen, inert and / or reactive gases, inert and / or reactive liquids). This makes it possible to install one part of the system on the basic security module in such a way that the installation area remains intact and work can be carried out with high precision. This improves the installation itself, shortens installation times, saves resources, and thus reduces costs, while simultaneously improving the quality of the installation of the transport panel and of that part of the system.

[0060] According to a further independent aspect, the task can be solved in particular by a digital twin of at least one of a transport panel, as described elsewhere. Alternatively or additionally, at least one assembly area can be presented as a digital twin, as described above. The digital twins are used in particular for planning the assembly of a transport panel and for carrying out corresponding process steps, as described elsewhere.

[0061] According to a further independent aspect, the object can be achieved in particular by a floor module, in particular formed from at least two transport panels, in particular as described in detail. The basic security modules of the transport panels can be connected to a floor construction device, in particular a floor construction strip, as described in detail. Alternatively or additionally, the floor module can consist of at least two basic security modules, in particular as provided by at least two transport panels, as described in detail elsewhere.In this case, a storage area can also be provided which has at least one end position marking, which is in particular designed and arranged in such a way that it can interact with an orientation marking on at least one of the basic security modules in such a way (can be brought into overlap, shape can be supplemented, as described elsewhere) in order to arrange the basic security module in a floor module position.

[0062] The above can be expressed and summarized in other words as follows:

[0063] The described method particularly promotes decentralized assemblies and / or decentralized prefabrication, especially on the basic security modules (also referred to as basic modules). The transported goods can always be moved and / or transported in a secure manner.

[0064] For example, each relocation and each transport step can be described in detail. In particular, the transport and / or relocation (also referred to as "move") can be carried out more safely through the arrangement and / or implementation and / or dimensioning of transport securing devices by the manufacturer and / or supplier based on this.

[0065] Furthermore, thanks to the transport platform (also referred to as the system), prefabricated components can be placed ready for assembly in fixed time windows, especially in a time-optimized manner in the assembly hall, etc., in particular in a precisely fitting manner at marked or precisely defined positions.

[0066] For these moves, skilled workers are not required, as the transport platform allows for appropriately defined positioning, as described elsewhere. Logistics or intralogistics specialists can perform the moves.

[0067] After the mechanical engineering process is complete, an acceptance test can take place. This can be referred to as a FAT (Full Acceptance Test). After acceptance, the system components can be separated. This includes the installation of transport brackets for media lines, storage, and securing plates for attachments. This eliminates the need for improvised attachment of media lines and attachments to / in / on the systems, which can pose a significant risk of damage.

[0068] The system allows for more efficient work, for example by allowing an assembly area to be cleared in a shorter time.

[0069] Once this work is completed, transport to the customer is possible without additional packaging, as all components and the machine itself are properly secured on the base module. Packaging specifications or load securing measures are no longer implemented by packers, especially without static and / or structural design.

[0070] In particular, specifications regarding load securing can be implemented directly by a designer during the planning or construction of a transport panel. For example, measures relating to static and / or structural design can be incorporated into the planning and / or construction of a transport panel before or during a mechanical engineering design. The mechanical engineering design includes, in particular, measures to consider or implement the structural and static planning and / or implementation with regard to the static and / or structural design and / or specifications.

[0071] In particular, design, construction, and mock-ups can be developed efficiently, and transport planning and / or transport execution can be designed efficiently. With the transport panel described here, engineers and designers in particular can optimally define the dimensions and their arrangements, particularly within a given structure with a variable length, width, and / or height.

[0072] Furthermore, a wood-free transport panel allows the systems to be transported directly from a transport aircraft into sensitive or clean buildings and their interiors and integrated there. In particular, it is not necessary to unpack the packaging outdoors or in an unloading zone. The transport system allows the transport panel to be used, particularly through static and / or structural planning, or their implementation, prior to or simultaneously with the assembly of a transported item, from assembly, through transport, to installation, and / or relocation.

[0073] The basic security modules can be secured independently on the means of transport. Additional transport security for the machine or part of a system (i.e., the transported goods) is not provided. The machine or part of the system—or the system itself—is fully secured to the basic module (synonym for basic security module).

[0074] The system, the system component, and / or the machine can also remain on the base modules at the final location. In the event of later relocations or internal site optimization, relocation is particularly safe and time-efficient. This provides added value, as this relocation also enables easier handling.

[0075] The surface of the transport panel (also referred to as a transport device, a transport construction device; can also be designed as a corresponding system) can be made of stainless steel. This allows the surface to be cleaned particularly efficiently.

[0076] The requirements for the installation site regarding soil conditions can also be reduced, resulting in cost savings.

[0077] The system can be fully priced as a mechanical engineering service, especially since packaging costs are completely eliminated. In some embodiments, no additional packaging material is required, such as a standardized (standardized as of the filing or priority date) Euro pallet, or packaging that has one of the following: (wooden) walls, (wooden) base, and / or (wooden) lid.

[0078] Using the system described here and elsewhere, or the corresponding methods, it is particularly possible to plan a (ready-to-use) machine or a (ready-to-use) system - and accordingly also assemblies or parts of systems or machines - such as those from special machine manufacturing in the field of optics, filling systems, chip production, conveyor technology or corresponding machine parks, together with the transport panel in order to be able to assign corresponding points on the machine that require support during crane lifting or stacking to a transport lock and / or at least one support structure. It can also be provided that the planning can be carried out as the basis for a spatial definition of the finished transport unit, since the transport panel is already provided for when the machine is designed and, in particular, packaging around a machine does not have to be created subsequently.In particular, a basic safety module can be provided that can be installed independently of a standardized Euro pallet, since this cannot meet the requirements for cleanliness and purity. Furthermore, it can also be provided that the overall height is already determined during the planning of the machine's construction (this always applies to a part of the machine, a part of a system, or even a system, unless explicitly stated otherwise). In particular, appropriate support structures can also be designed during the planning or design phase of the machine.

[0079] The methods described make it possible, in particular, for the transport panel to be designed as part of the machine, in particular in on-site embodiments to remain underneath the machine after it has been set up.

[0080] In some embodiments, a part of the machine can also be built directly on the corresponding basic safety module or assigned to the corresponding support structures during construction. It is also possible, in particular, for the machine to be built consecutively at different production sites over a manufacturing or assembly cycle, whereby the transport panel makes it possible to provide a defined space or defined framework in the sense that a precise definition of the structure exists at different locations (where the machine is manufactured), which is why the machine would not have to be removed from or lifted by any basic safety modules, support structures and / or transport locks. Rather, it allows the transport panel to be moved, even at an intermediate stage of the construction or assembly.of the structure that it can be positioned accordingly in a defined assembly area in order to be able to define and carry out corresponding processes, in particular for robot-assisted production of the machine.

[0081] A (at least partially) robot-assisted production of the machine can refer to a machine assembly that can be carried out using a robot system. A robot system can, for example, be a production robot that can lift parts of the machine being assembled in order to arrange them on the basic safety module or on the support structures. A production robot can also

[0082] The assembly area can be an area as a subsurface or room that allows the assembly of a transport panel, such as a production hall, a factory hall, an assembly hall, an open area for assembly, a clean room, a container, in particular for transport in an automotive vehicle, aircraft and / or ship, or the like.

[0083] The transport tray allows it to remain underneath the machine even after it has been moved to a storage area (the machine). This also makes it possible to relocate the machine later, as it eliminates the need to repack the machine or place a Euro pallet underneath it.

[0084] The transport panel can also be qualified for a cleanroom, in particular. The transport panel can be intended for and qualified for a cleanroom that meets the ISO 3 cleanroom standard, in particular the ISO 4 cleanroom standard, and furthermore, in particular the ISO 5 cleanroom standard. In certain embodiments, a cleanroom qualification up to ISO 8 can also be provided. The cleanroom qualifications are to be understood in particular according to the definitions in the Federal Republic of Germany on the filing date or the priority date.

[0085] The transport panel can have a basic securing module, which can be designed, in particular, as a core-free base plate or, alternatively, as a one-piece base plate. This base plate measures, in particular, along the vertical force axis during a lift, between 3 and 6 mm, more particularly between 3.5 and 4.5 mm, more particularly almost exactly 4 mm. In embodiments in which a core, for example a receptacle for support structures and / or honeycomb structures, can be provided, the thickness can be between 10 mm and 100 mm, more particularly between 20 mm and 50 mm, more particularly between 30 mm and 40 mm, more particularly almost exactly 36 mm.

[0086] In embodiments, it can be provided that the basic security module, in particular designed as a baseplate, can lie flat on a floor of a superstructure, in particular without requiring its own support feet and / or without requiring its own substructure in order to enable assembly and / or subsequent lifting, for example by means of a crane and / or stacking.

[0087] In embodiments, it can also be provided that the machine or a part of the machine can be lifted onto a basic safety module with transport lock and / or with support structure, in particular can be craned and / or stacked. In this case, craneing and / or stacking the machine onto the basic safety module or onto the support structure and / or the transport lock does not constitute assembly within the meaning of the methods, systems and devices described here and elsewhere. The scope of protection is determined by the content of the claims. Advantageous embodiments and developments are described by the dependent claims. For further clarification, embodiments are described below in the figures.

[0107] Fig. 1 shows a transport situation of a transport panel 100. This shows, as an example, a transfer situation from a crane device 20 to a forklift 10. Pure stacking or crane lifting is possible and follows the corresponding principle. The transport panel 100 represents a transport device that can be assembled using a planning and / or assembly process as shown in Fig. 7A and Fig. 7B. In particular, the transport panel 100 has at least one basic safety module 102. The transport panel 100 can have at least one item of goods 110 to be transported, which is in particular part of a system and / or a (complex) machine. A machine is complex if it is constructed from several functional units that can work together to carry out a manufacturing process, a filling process and / or an analysis process, to name a few examples.The transport panel 100 can have at least one transport lock 116. The transported goods 110 to be transported can be secured on the basic securing module 102 via the transport lock 116. The transport lock 116 can be designed and arranged to secure at least one transport securing area 108 on the transported goods 110. For this purpose, as shown here, holding cables 106 can be used to connect the transport locks 116 to the areas 108 to be secured.

[0108] The transport panel 100 has, in particular, in addition to or in addition to the transport securing device 116, at least one support structure. This can also function as a transport securing device 116. The support structure can, in particular, be a crossbeam 104. The item 110 to be transported is constructed relative to the basic securing module 102 and relative to the at least one support structure in such a way as to support the area 108, in particular the floor area 28, of the item to be transported, here a part of a system, during a crane VII, VIII and / or during stacking VII, VIII. This is made possible in particular by the basic securing module 102 of the transport panel 100 resting on the fork 12 of a forklift truck 10 with a support surface 14 on the fork. Furthermore, the support structure, here in particular the crossbeam 104, has, in particular, a support surface 114 on the basic securing module 102.Furthermore, the base region 28 of the transported goods 110 has a support surface 124 of the transported goods 110 on the crossbeam 104. All of these support surfaces 14, 114, 124 are arranged one above the other in such a way that lifting leads to a force-locking contact of the contact surfaces and the elements and structures touching therein, whereby the force can be transmitted through the force connection during stacking. The same applies in particular to a crane, although here no force is introduced from below the basic safety module 102. However, the crossbeams 104 can in particular be connected to the basic safety module 102 in such a way that the force is diverted into the basic safety module without inducing bending of the basic safety module. As a result, the transport panel 100 can be lifted, whereby the entire structure is lifted. This is shown here as an example, by straps 26 arranged on a crane device 20.These straps 26 can be connected to a hook 22 for crane lifting by a retaining eyelet 24. At the end of the straps 26, in particular, there are fastening devices (not shown) that can be designed like the fork 12 of a forklift truck 10, so as to engage in recesses 607 (see Fig. 6) of the cross members 104. This enables force-locking lifting by means of a crane. Alternatively, it can also be provided to detach the cross members 104 from the basic security module 102, thereby enabling the transported goods 110 to be lifted off. This also enables separation from the basic security module 102. The basic security module is reusable and, in particular, no packaging waste is generated. To lift the transported goods 110, the fixing devices 112 must be released. These are shown in detail in Figs. 4 and 5 and described in this regard.

[0109] Fig. 2A shows an embodiment of a basic security module 102a in plan view, while Fig. 2B shows the embodiment of the basic security module 102a in a side sectional view. A base plate 250 is shown which, unlike the base plate of Figs. 3A to 5, can be referred to as a core-free base plate or alternatively as a one-piece base plate. This base plate measures, in particular, along the force vertical when lifted, between 3 and 6 mm, more particularly between 3.5 and 4.5 mm, more particularly exactly 4 mm. This base plate is formed with an attachment element 260 to form a basic security module 102a. The attachment element 260 is arranged on the base plate 250 via screws 256, in that the screws are screwed through upper and lower retaining tongues 254a and 254b. For a better overview, only a section of a corner of the basic security module 102a is shown, which is illustrated by fictitious cutting edges 252.

[0110] A transport lock 116 can be provided. The holding cables 106, as shown in Fig. 1, can be arranged on this via a holder 242. The transport device 116 can also be referred to as a grid element, since it can be moved in a grid bar 262, but can also be locked. The grid bar 262 can have an insertion area 264 for the grid element. A guide area 268 for sliding the grid element can be provided. Alternatively or additionally, a guide and holding area 270 can be provided for the holding element 246 of the grid element. This allows the grid element to be inserted and moved in one position, but can also be locked by pulling, for example on the holding cables 106. The arrangement of this exemplary embodiment of transport locks can be easily planned in advance and improved, for example to reduce the tensile forces on the transported goods. Fig.2C shows an embodiment of a transport lock 116 in plan view, and FIG. 2D shows the embodiment of the transport lock 116, shown in FIG. 2C, in side view. These transport locks 116 are examples of transport devices 116. Support structures, such as, for example, the side support structures 617, as shown in FIG. 6, can also be provided. Holders 118 or superstructures can also be provided that can accommodate media lines, such as cables and / or fluid lines, in order to organize and hold them during assembly. Media lines and superstructures that are not located in a final location in or on the machine or system for transport.

[0111] Fig. 2E shows an embodiment of a cover mounting device, in particular a hood mounting device 271. This device comprises, in particular, a hood strip 272. Holes 275, in particular countersunk holes, can be provided therein, which allow a hood 277 (cover, enclosure, packaging) to be arranged. A retaining strip 273 (as well as other retaining devices) can be provided, which allows the hood strip 272 to be arranged on a basic security module 102. This retaining strip 273 itself can be mounted, in particular screwed and / or glued, to the basic security module 102 on a surface of the basic security module 104.Alternatively or additionally, the holding strip 273 can be arranged to form the following layering (elements listed starting from the basic safety module 104 in the direction of the floor and / or support on a lifting device): basic safety module 104 (baseplate), membrane 575 (foil), holding strip 273 of a hood strip 272 as an additional profile, further basic safety module 104 (baseplate; possibly resting on a floor) and / or plate 579 (sheet metal; possibly resting on a floor) and / or transport pallet (possibly resting on a floor) (see layering without holding strip 273 for comparison in Fig. 5).

[0112] Fig. 2F shows an embodiment of a floor construction device 291, here designed in particular as a floor construction strip 292. This is designed to be arranged on the basic security module 104 in such a way as to connect the basic security module 104 to another basic security module 104 to form a floor profile 815 (synonym: floor element; floor module).

[0113] To form a floor profile 815, a floor construction strip 292 (profile strip) can be provided, which can be arranged in particular on an edge 290 of the basic security module 104. This floor construction strip 292 can be an edge profile, a T-profile 299, an L-profile 298, or another suitable profile. The floor construction strip 292 can be designed to be arranged on an edge 290 of two basic security modules 104 and in particular to be connected to them, in such a way as to connect the two basic security modules 104 to form a composite basic security module, in particular to form a floor profile 815, as shown in Fig. 8. In particular, two profile strips can be assembled together as fixing devices 272, 273 (to form a T-shape) to form support surfaces 296, 297 for basic security modules 104.Here, in particular, the profile strip (the floor construction strip 292) is shown as a T-profile 299. The T-shape results in particular from the design of the two areas of fixing devices 272, 273, in particular as sheet metal elements (one shown in dashed lines to illustrate an L-profile 298 by the solid lines). This allows in particular an arrangement relative to the basic security modules 104 and facilitates their assembly relative to one another, as well as the assembly of the T-profile 299 to the basic modules. The T-profile 299, as well as an L-profile 298, have an insert 293 between the two basic security modules 104. This enables better positioning of the two basic security modules 104 relative to one another. An I-profile (not shown), which rests on the two basic security modules 104 (before assembly), can also be provided.Sealing areas 295 can be formed on both the L-profile 298 and the T-profile 299. These serve, in particular, as a seal to protect against dirt and / or moisture. A chemical sealant, such as a silicon coating, can be provided, and / or a mechanical sealing device, such as sealing lips, in particular at least one rubber lip, can be provided.

[0114] As shown in Fig. 8, a floor profile 815 (also referred to as a floor element) can also be formed, in particular by connecting at least two basic security modules 104 by means of a floor construction device 291. The floor profile can be formed, in particular, in an installation area 800. An end position marking 809 can be provided, in particular in addition to an orientation marking, such as a center line 603 on the floor 601, or as an alternative thereto. The end position marking 809 can be arranged and designed in such a way as to enable an arrangement of the plurality 810 of transport panels 810a, 810b, 810c, in particular of their basic security modules 102a, 102b, 102c, relative to one another and relative to the installation area. This allows for simple positioning and a suitable installation situation.Nevertheless, it may be possible to quickly resume relocation if required by a user, end user, customer, and / or a user. Shown here as an example are three basic safety modules 102a, 102b, 102c, with corresponding transport goods 810a, 810b, 810c, which are arranged on crossbeams 607. Embodiments without crossbeams 607 are also possible. The holders 617 and the transport locks 116 can also be arranged differently, or any attachment elements 260 of the basic safety modules 102 can be removed. Alternatively or additionally, these attachment elements 260 can be designed as a receiving element 816 in order to arrange a connecting element (floor connection device). The basic safety modules 102a, 102b, 102c can be connected to one another to form a floor profile 815.Not only linear configurations are conceivable, but also branches and / or elements that each have an additional basic security element arranged on adjacent sides (edge ​​areas 290).

[0115] Fig. 3A shows a further embodiment of a basic security module 102b in plan view. Fig. 3B shows the embodiment of the basic security module 102b, as shown in plan view in Fig. 3A, in a side sectional view. In contrast, Fig. 3C shows a side sectional view of a further embodiment of a basic security module 102c. The embodiments of Figs. 3A to 3C differ from those of Figs. 2A and 2B in the base plate 102b, which in Figs. 3A to 3C is constructed as a base plate 102b, 102c with a core made of a chamber structure, in particular a honeycomb structure. Chambers, in particular honeycombs 374, are arranged here. The base plate 102b with core can be constructed in such a way as to arrange a strut 372 in order to prepare it for load bearing. The load can be exerted by a fixation 112 and a spacer arranged therein, such as a base 417 (see Figs. 4 and 5).The thicker base plate 102b can be connected to an attachment element 360 for forming a basic security module 102 via special spaced tongues 354a, 354b, also via screws 256.

[0116] The embodiments of Figs. 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B are identical, in particular, with respect to the extension element 360, which thickens toward the edge. Alternatively, an embodiment can be provided in which the base plate, in particular, merges into the extension element with a largely uniform thickness. In this case, a lower boundary surface 350b can, in particular, merge integrally into the extension element 360b.

[0117] The basic security module 102 can have two boundary surfaces 350a, 350b that lie opposite one another, one of which is designed and arranged to support a load, wherein at least one strut 372 is arranged between the boundary surfaces 350a, 350b. This strut is arranged in particular in a region of a load support by the at least one boundary surface 350a. When installed on the boundary surface 350a, the at least one transported item 110 can transfer the load at least temporarily to the boundary surface 350a in an area supported by the at least one strut 372.

[0118] Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of a transport lock 112, also called a fixation, in a side view on an embodiment of a basic security module 102b. A base 417 is received in a transport lock 112 and fixed by a housing 413 in parallel movement to the boundary surface 350a. The vertical movement can be fixed by inserts 415 in openings 419 provided for this purpose in the housing 413, since these inserts 415 contact an area of ​​the base and fix vertical movement. This fixes the degrees of freedom of movement of the base 417 (and thus of the transported goods). In the embodiment shown, it is shown that a strut 371 in a core of a base plate 102b runs through the chambers, in particular the honeycombs 374.In this case, the base plate (as a synonym for base plate 102b) is arranged in such a way that the load absorption of the load transferred to the boundary surface 350a is diverted by the strut 372. The transport lock 112 is glued, in particular, to the upper boundary surface 350a, in an adhesive surface 421.

[0119] Fig. 5 shows a side view of an embodiment of a transport lock 112 on an embodiment of a basic security module 102c. At least one film 575, 577 can be arranged therein in order to arrange the at least one basic security module 104 on the film 577.

[0120] Alternatively or additionally, at least one film 575, 577 can be arranged in such a way as to arrange the film 575 at least on the basic security module 102. At least one transport lock 116, here, for example, a fixing device 112, can be arranged on the film 575. In one embodiment, the transport lock 116, in particular the fixing device 112, can be glued directly to the film, as shown, for example, in Fig. 4 and described in this regard.

[0121] Alternatively, a support plate 523 can be provided, which is screwed into the base plate 102c through the film 575 by means of screws. This allows potential contamination to be introduced only in the area of ​​the screws, which allows a correspondingly improved cleaning process because not the entire transported goods need to be cleaned, but only the few points of the screw threads.

[0122] The at least one film 575, 577 is particularly designed and arranged to enclose the at least one item of goods 110 to be transported in the film 575, 577. An outer film 577 can capture or retain coarse dirt, and a membrane or inner film 575 can retain fine dust or other microscopic particles and / or contaminants.

[0123] The at least one film 575, 577 can wrap the at least one transported item 110 to be transported in such a way as to form an inner region of the film 575, 577 with the transported item 110 to be transported accommodated therein.

[0124] As a result, projections can be formed on the films (not shown) and welding and / or adhesive seams can be provided to connect the various film regions to one another, in particular in such a way as to evacuate the interior region or to fill it with a fluid.

[0125] The embodiments of Figs. 4 and 5 are shown with the base plate 102b, 102c having a core made of a chamber structure, in particular a honeycomb structure, and with struts 372. Alternatively, an embodiment with a simple base plate 102a can also be provided, as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B. This can be provided when the structure can be simpler, for example, because only lower loads are applied to the base plate 102.

[0126] Fig. 6 shows an assembly area 600. This can in particular be a production building for the assembly of a transport panel 100, in particular as described elsewhere. In this case, the transport panel can in particular have been planned and / or assembled according to a method 710, 720, as described elsewhere. In this case, the at least one basic security module 102 has in particular at least one first orientation marking 605. The assembly area 600 is designed for the assembly of the transport panel 100 and in particular has at least one second orientation marking 603. In this case, the first orientation marking 605 can be formed on the basic security module 102 and arranged such that it can be arranged relative to the at least second orientation marking 603 in order to orient the basic security module 102 relative to the assembly area 600.In this case, a plurality 610 of basic security modules 102a, 102b, 102c can also be provided. The basic security modules 102a, 102b, 102c can be constructed identically or individually and specifically according to the transport goods 110 to be transported, in order to form an adapted transport panel 100 each comprising one of the transport goods 110 (these are not shown in Fig. 6 for reasons of clarity). The transport goods 110 are in particular designed to be assembled into a system or a complex machine. A mounting area 600 with at least one orientation marking 603 enables the basic security modules 102 to be arranged oriented along an orientation marking 605 on the basic security modules 102.

[0127] The basic security modules 102a, 102b, 102c can be arranged, in particular, relative to one another, but also relative to the assembly area 600. This makes it possible, for example, for side supports 617 or other elements to be oriented in such a way as to provide the best possible accessibility to the assembly. The side supports 617 are an example of elements that can enable securing and / or stabilizing the transported goods 110 as transport security 116. These can also be planned and / or installed in a coordinated manner. Alternatively or additionally, at least one holder 118 and / or support for media lines and superstructures can be provided, which is designed and arranged in such a way as to hold cables and / or lines during assembly. As already mentioned, orientation relative to the assembly area 600 can also be enabled.This allows, for example, coordinated and repeatable orientation to at least one control cabinet 620. This also enables, in particular, an improved assembly process, since the transport panels under construction can be spatially arranged as needed.

[0128] Fig. 6 also exemplifies how the support structures, such as the crossbeams 104 and the transport locks 116, can be arranged individually for each of the three basic securing modules 102a, 102b, 102c shown, for constructing the transport panels 100. The number and configuration of the crossbeams 104 and the transport locks 116 shown here are shown as examples to clarify the principle. In this case, engagement areas 607 can also be provided on the crossbeams 104, which allow engagement by a fork 12 of a forklift truck 10 (see Fig. 1) and / or which allow a crane device to be attached in order to crane the crossbeams 104 and a transport item 110 arranged thereon. The entire transport panel 100 can also be craned or stacked, as shown by way of example in Fig. 1 and described in this regard.

[0129] Fig. 7A schematically shows a planning method 710 and Fig. 7B schematically shows a construction method 720 and a transport method 730. As shown together in the illustration of Figs. 7A and 7B, the methods can be combined to form a process chain 700, wherein in particular one method can merge into the other method.

[0130] Fig. 7A schematically shows a method 720, which can be configured, in particular, as a computer-implemented method. The method 720 serves, in particular, to plan the structure of a transport panel 100. The method includes, in particular, a step of presenting I a digital twin of a basic security module 102.

[0131] The method comprises, in particular, a step of presenting II a digital twin of a transport item 110 to be transported. The transport item 110 to be transported is, in particular, a part of a system and / or a machine that is to be set up at a destination. Presenting II the transport item 110 to be transported, in particular as a digital twin, serves, in particular, to incorporate the orientation and arrangement of the transport item 110 to be transported relative to the basic security module 102 into the planning. In other words, a target state is defined, which the planning method should be able to specify through planning.

[0132] In a parallel or later step, a presentation IV of digital twins of individual parts that can be combined to form a digital twin of a transported item 110 can be provided in order to plan the assembly of the transported item on the basic security module 102. This allows the target state and a path to achieve it to be determined.

[0133] The method may include presenting III a digital twin of the at least one transport securing device 116. The assembly of the transported item 110 to be transported can be planned based on the digital twins of the individual parts that can be combined to form a transported item 110. The arrangement of the digital twins of the individual parts on the basic security module 102 can be planned in a coordinated manner in order to be able to assemble the transported item 110, for example, in an assembly method as described elsewhere. The arrangement and design of the at least one transport securing device 116 are incorporated into the assembly.

[0134] Fig. 7B shows an example of a method 720 designed to construct a transport panel 100. In particular, the method 720 comprises the step of presenting V a basic security module 102. The method comprises the step of arranging VI at least one transport lock 116 on the basic security module 102. The method comprises the step of constructing VI at least one item of transport 110 to be transported on the basic security module 102. The item of transport 110 can, as described elsewhere, be, in particular, part of a system and / or a machine.

[0135] In this case, the basic security module 102 is particularly designed and is particularly arranged in such a way to install at least the cargo 110 to be transported on the basic security module 102. In this case, the transport lock 116 is particularly designed and is particularly arranged on the basic security module 102 in such a way to secure at least one area 108 of the cargo 110 to be transported, as shown by way of example in Fig. 1. In this case, the at least one transport lock 116 can in particular be carried out in advance and / or simultaneously with the installation IV of the cargo 110 to be transported. This can improve installation, but also transport, since the transport locks 116 can be installed directly during installation, in particular based on advance planning.This also increases transport safety, as there is no need to subsequently work with a finished transport item 110 that needs to be packaged, but rather transport securing devices and support structures can be planned and / or installed from the outset in order to optimise force and load distribution, particularly when using a crane or stacking.

[0136] At least one crossbeam 104 can be arranged on the basic security module 102 in such a way that the at least one item of goods 110 to be transported can be arranged on the at least one crossbeam 104 during assembly IV of the transport panel in such a way as to support, in particular, an area 108 of the item 110 to be transported. The area 108 can, in particular, be a base area 28 of the item 110 to be transported, which can be supported.

[0137] The at least one crossbeam 104 is arranged on the basic securing module 102 in such a way as to construct the cargo 110 to be transported relative to the basic securing module 102 and relative to the at least one crossbeam 104 in such a way as to support, in particular, the floor area 28 of the cargo 110 to be transported during crane lifting (VII, VIII) and / or during stacking (VII, VIII). In this case, the floor area 28, the support structure such as the crossbeam 104, and the fork 12 of the forklift truck come into force-locking contact. The same applies to lifting by means of a crane, in which a crane device can engage in the recesses 607 (see Fig. 6 and correspondingly Fig. 1).

[0138] As a transport securing device 116, at least one fixation device 112 can be arranged for at least one support area of ​​the goods 110 to be transported. In this case, the support area is constructed, in particular, as at least one support leg 417 or as at least one support base or arranged accordingly. The fixation device 112 is arranged on the basic securing module 102 in such a way as to establish the support area of ​​the goods 110 to be transported therein.
