Through the resulting application possibilities, requirements for the intelli gent devices are derived. In order to answer the research question, the small load carriers and the intelligent devices were first defined with the help of a literature research and then the require ments for the industries were established and analyzed. The work shows that the KLTs need to be revolutionized with the change of the industry, as the requirements of the industry increase. The smart devices for KLT selected in the paper meet the requirements of the industry. Through tracking, cooling, measuring and screen transmission, logistics are improved along the supply chain. The work establishes that linking small load carriers could be theoretically useful and fea sible.deIndustrie 4.0Kleinladungsträgerbachelor thesis
