CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ALLOCATION OF JOB TO UNMANNED CARRIER

摘要

PURPOSE:To improve the overall working factor of a work station by using a means which extracts a transport request to be processed before the preceding carrier stops and a means which allocates the transport request most distant away from the position of the carrier to which a job is allocated to the relevant carrier out of those extracted transport requests. CONSTITUTION:A processing enable request check function checks the state of the preceding carrier to a carrier which undergoes a job allocation process and detects a range up to a spot where the drive of the preceding carrier may possibly prevented for extraction of all transport requests within said range. Then a job allocation processing function allocates the transport request produced at a spot most distant away from the position of the relevant carrier to this carrier in order to avoid the disturbance given to the drives of subsequent carriers. Thus it is possible to eliminate such a case where the drive stop of a working carrier stops the drives of other carriers.
