System for transporting at least one object to be processed in at least one packaging machine

A system for transporting at least one object to be processed in at least one packaging machine along or within at least one transport path extending between at least one first region of the system and at least one second region of the system, wherein the system comprises:

• a plurality of transport vehicles, each of which is movable between the at least one first region of the system and the at least one second region of the system, or vice versa, on the basis of control information generated by a central control device of the system, in at least one translational and/or rotational degree of freedom of movement, which transport vehicles each comprise a receiving region for receiving at least one object to be transported;
• at least one loading device assigned to the at least one first region of the system, which is configured for at least partially automated loading of an object to be transported onto a respective receiving region of a transport vehicle;
• at least one unloading device assigned to the at least one second region of the system, which is configured for at least partially automated unloading of a transported object from a respective receiving region of a transport vehicle;
• and
• a central control device which is configured to generate control information for controlling the movements of the transport vehicles between the at least one first region of the system and the at least one second region of the system, or vice versa.
