<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten time for collecting and disposing empty pallets and improve working efficiency of an automatically guided vehicle. SOLUTION: A group of stations, which is a line up of a plural number of stations ST for taking on pallets, is further arranged in a plural number. An automatic guided vehicle is run on a route line 11. By the automatic guided vehicle receiving an instruction signal at its home position to collect empty pallets in a lump, it successively moves to each station ST and, if empty pallets are found at the station ST where it arrived, it collects and stacks them on it. When the number of empty pallets collected accumulates to a specific number, empty pallets are moved to a collection station 23. If the automatic guided vehicle has not moved to the terminal station, it repeats action to empty pallets from the next station ST again. When the automatic guided vehicle has moved to the terminal station, it returns to the home position 20 and receives the next instruction.</p> |
