Provided is a transport system in which a worker performs maintenance work on a shelf in a maintenance area within a warehouse in which a vehicle area where a transport vehicle travels and the maintenance area where the worker performs the maintenance work are formed separately. A safety device permits an entry of the worker into the maintenance area after the transport vehicle transporting the shelf takes the shelf down within the maintenance area in accordance with a travel instruction from a service device and then the transport vehicle within the maintenance area exits to the vehicle area.

Personal settings for each user and each application are stored in personal setting holding unitsand. When a personal setting is to be exported, synchronous control information indicating whether or not synchronization is to be performed for each personal setting is exported. In the case where the firmware version of an apparatus that is to import the information indicates synchronization of the personal setting, the personal setting is rewritten in accordance with the synchronous control information.
