Abstract: A base unit (16) for a feeding system (12) for feeding parts (42) to an industrial device (14), the base unit (16) comprising a main body (26) having a rigid engageable structure (60a, 60b) configured to mate with a rigid engaging structure (66a, 66b) of a modular feeding unit (18a-18d) in a mating direction (68) to align a position of the modular feeding unit (18a-18d) in relation to the main body (26); an electric control system (36) for controlling the modular feeding unit (18a-18d); and an electric base interface (56) for electrically connecting the modular feeding unit (18a-18d) to the control system (36). A feeding system (12), an industrial system (10) and a method of handling a feeding system (12) are also provided.
