8.47.1 Overview

The CarrierType ObjectType provides a description for a uniquely identified reusable carrier. Examples of CarrierType implementations are AGVs, trays with RFIDs, IBCs with RFIDs, bins with permanent bar codes.

The CarrierType is formally defined in the following table.

BrowseName Description
DataThe Data folder organizes implementation specific data for the carrier.
FormFactorThe form factor of the carrier e.g., trolley, AGV, core, IBC, etc.
IDThe underlying system identification of the carrier.
MES_IDA higher-level system e.g., MES, identification of the carrier.
ParentCarrierIDThe unique identifier of the carrier that contains the carrier in question.
SubCarriersThe SubCarriers folder organizes carriers contained in the carrier.
SubLotsThe SubLots contained in the carrier.

The components of the CarrierType have additional subcomponents which are defined in the following table.
