Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a method for implementing a system for transporting products as well as a system of this kind per se. The system comprises among other things - a plurality of vehicles, wherein each vehicle is configured to move over a floor within a movement area and is configured to carry at least one product to be transported; - a central control server configured for controlling the vehicles, wherein the central control server comprises a digital representation of the movement area, said representation comprising a plurality of contiguous tiles. The method comprises among other things the steps of: - independently of the tiles, determining a movement path for the vehicle in accordance with the digital representation, - determining which contiguous tiles will be occupied by the respective vehicle during movement by the vehicle along the movement path, - receiving or generating, by the central control server, a request for execution of a next step by the vehicle to reserve at least one successive tile in the movement path determined for the vehicle, - at least on condition that it has been determined by the control server that the at least one successive tile is available, reserving the at least one successive tile for the vehicle and then movement of the vehicle along the movement path determined for the vehicle so that the at least one successive tile is occupied.
