<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology that increases the productivity of mixed-flow production. <P>SOLUTION: When a cycle time Ta for a first kind elapses from a preceding automatic guided vehicle 12 carrying the first kind, a truck start control unit 22 causes start, and when a cycle time Tb for a second kind elapses from a preceding automatic guided vehicle carrying the second kind, the control unit starts the automatic guided vehicle carrying the second kind. As a result, the kind with a short operating time can be conveyed in a short cycle time, and the kind with a long operating time can be conveyed in a long cycle time, resulting in greatly increased productivity. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
