Self propelled guide unit, connection system and intralogistic system

A method in an autonomous or remote-controlled self-propelled guide unit for configuring safety controls for operation of the autonomous or remote-controlled self-propelled guide unit, when connected to a load bearing unit, wherein the method comprises:

• receiving an identifier (ID) from the load bearing unit;
• configuring safety controls of the autonomous or remote-controlled self-propelled guide unit based on the received ID, wherein the step of configuring safety controls comprises at least one of:
• setting a minimum acceptable distance to objects in surroundings when moving on a floor surface, based on a specific load bearing unit;
• or
• setting a maximum speed when moving on a floor surface, based on the specific load bearing unit.

An autonomous or remote-controlled self-propelled guide unit configured to be connected to a load bearing unit, the autonomous or remote-controlled self-propelled guide unit comprises a computing unit configured to:

• receive an identifier (ID) from the load bearing unit;
• and
• configure safety controls of the autonomous or remote-controlled self-propelled guide unit based on the received ID, wherein the computing unit is further configured to configure safety controls by at least one of:
• setting a minimum acceptable distance to objects in surroundings when moving on a floor surface, based on a specific load bearing unit;
• or
• setting a maximum speed when moving on the floor surface, based on the specific load bearing unit.
