<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a processing facility capable of improving processing work efficiency while avoiding the increase in a control load of a processing unit. <P>SOLUTION: A processing facility is so constructed as to perform advance transportation control as follows. Transportation management means HC controls a transportation vehicle 3 that transports a processing object, traveling along a carrier line passing through a plurality of processing units 1 and a stock unit Q storing processing objects. While monitoring processing progress information sent from the plurality of processing units 1 to main management means JC, the transportation management means HC extracts a processing unit 1 as an advance transportation origin from the plurality of processing units 1, which has finished or almost finished the process of a processing object, before receiving transportation command information from the main management means JC. To export the processing object from the processing unit 1, the transportation management means HC implements advance transportation control for dispatching a transportation vehicle 3 to the processing unit 1 extracted as the advance transportation origin. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
