A method for operating a manufacturing installation having a transport system for transporting a receptacle, wherein the transport system includes a vehicle and a transport vehicle, on the framework of which are arranged two wheel drives which are spaced apart from each other, each having a wheel, wherein the two wheels are arranged contacting a floor to generate tractive force for the transport vehicle, wherein the transport vehicle is autonomous, wherein a first and a second shoulder part are arranged and/or formed on the framework of the transport vehicle, wherein the first shoulder part is spaced apart from the second shoulder part, wherein between the wheel drives and between the shoulder parts there is arranged a spatial region into which the vehicle with the receptacle which it has received can be driven and out of which the vehicle with the receptacle can be driven, wherein the receptacle has a width which is greater than the distance, in particular shortest distance, between the shoulder parts, wherein the vehicle has a lifting device and the vehicle can be driven into the spatial region when the lifting device is retracted and also when it is extended, wherein the receptacle, when the lifting device is extended, can be arranged above the shoulder parts on the vehicle, wherein the receptacle, when the lifting device is retracted, can be arranged placed on the shoulder parts, wherein the contact faces of the receptacle with the shoulder parts are each at the same distance from the floor, wherein in a first method step the transport vehicle which is transported in in particular by an infrastructure vehicle drives autonomously past a sensor of the manufacturing installation, in particular through an entry gate of the manufacturing installation, into a transfer zone, in particular wherein the sensor has an RFID scanner, wherein information about the goods contained in a receptacle, in particular goods for transport, is transmitted to a central computer of the manufacturing installation by means of the sensor, in particular wherein energy is supplied, in particular supplied inductively, to the transport vehicle in the transfer zone to charge its energy storage unit, wherein in a subsequent method step the transport vehicle drives autonomously to an assembly cell, wherein the vehicle takes at least one receptacle out of the transport vehicle and transports it to one of the work stations of the assembly cell and deposits the receptacle there, in particular on a bearing bracket of the respective work station, wherein in order to produce a product at the respective work station a respective goods item, in particular goods for transport, is taken from the receptacle. wherein the two wheels are arranged contacting a floor to generate tractive force for the transport vehicle, wherein the transport vehicle is autonomous, wherein a first and a second shoulder part are arranged and/or formed on the framework of the transport vehicle, wherein the first shoulder part is spaced apart from the second shoulder part, wherein between the wheel drives and between the shoulder parts there is arranged a spatial region into which the vehicle with the receptacle which it has received can be driven and out of which the vehicle with the receptacle can be driven, wherein the receptacle has a width which is greater than the distance, in particular shortest distance, between the shoulder parts, wherein the vehicle has a lifting device and the vehicle can be driven into the spatial region when the lifting device is retracted and also when it is extended, wherein the receptacle, when the lifting device is extended, can be arranged above the shoulder parts on the vehicle, wherein the receptacle, when the lifting device is retracted, can be arranged placed on the shoulder parts, wherein the contact faces of the receptacle with the shoulder parts are each at the same distance from the floor, wherein in a first method step the transport vehicle which is transported in in particular by an infrastructure vehicle drives autonomously past a sensor of the manufacturing installation, in particular through an entry

for transport, is transmitted to a central computer of the manufacturing installation by means of the sensor, in particular wherein energy is supplied, in particular supplied inductively, to the transport vehicle in the transfer zone to charge its energy storage unit, wherein in a subsequent method step the transport vehicle drives autonomously to an assembly cell, wherein the vehicle takes at least one receptacle out of the transport vehicle and transports it to one of the work stations of the assembly cell and deposits the receptacle there, in particular on a bearing bracket of the respective work station, wherein in order to produce a product at the respective work station a respective goods item, in particular goods for transport, is taken from the receptacle.
