The use of lashing means, for example load securing straps or nets, is often time-consuming, especially for courier, express and parcel-services (CEP) using a lot stops. The following article describes the development of an automated load securing system with a three-dimensional-preformed net. Mainly two components interact in this system. On the one hand, an anti-skid system is integrated, which uses the advantages of a low-friction surface for loading and the anti-slip properties of an adhesive coating for the transport. On the other hand, a flexibly adaptive net consisting of high-performance synthetic fibers and integrated shorteners lash different sized transport units. Especially, the automatic lashing should increase the acceptance of the drivers for the new load securing system.
