Title:

Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/090334
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This transport system 1 is equipped with a track 10, overhead carriers 20, and a controller 50. The controller 50 allocates a travel command for traveling to a target destination point 11 to an overhead carrier 20 to which a transport command for acquiring a FOUP 90 from a station 100 can be allocated and which is present in the range less than a first distance from the station 100. Upon detecting another overhead carrier 20 to which the transport command can be allocated and which is present in the range less than the first distance from the station 100 before allocating the transport command to said overhead carrier 20, the controller 50 allocates the travel command to the newly-detected overhead carrier 20. Then the controller 50 allocates the transport command to the overhead carrier 20 to which the travel command has been allocated and which passes through the target destination point 11 first.
