A conveyance system according to this disclosure includes a movement request acceptor which accepts a movement request to an automatic conveying device; and a section travel-route setter which sets a section travel route with a predetermined length constituting a part of a travel route from a current position of a first automatic conveying device to a destination position so that the section travel route of the first automatic conveying device does not overlap the section travel route set for another second automatic conveying device on the basis of the movement request accepted by the movement request acceptor, in which the section travel-route setter repeatedly executes processing of setting a second section travel route with an end position of a first section travel route as a start position of the subsequent second section travel route while the automatic conveying device is traveling on the first section travel route.

Conveyance system and conveying method

A conveyance system according to the present disclosure includes a conveyance request receiver that receives the conveyance requests of the conveyance targets, a starting area selector that selects a starting area from among the partial areas, a partial area traveling order setter that sets the starting area to one of the partial areas to be traveled first and sets partial area traveling order for traveling of an automatic conveyance apparatus, and a storage position traveling order setter that sets storage position traveling order of the automatic conveyance apparatus inside each of the partial areas. The automatic conveyance apparatus travels the partial areas in accordance with the partial area traveling order and travels the storage positions in accordance with the storage position traveling order inside each of the partial areas so as to convey the conveyance targets corresponding to the received conveyance requests inside the entire area.

Conveyance system, conveyance method, and recording medium recording conveyance program

There is provided an autonomous travel system with which a travel route of an autonomous travel device can be easily set. The autonomous travel system includes an autonomous travel device (), a line () for guiding travel that is placed on a travel route traveled by the autonomous travel device (), and a marker () that is placed on the travel route. To the marker (), operation control information related to an operation of the autonomous travel device () is recorded so as to be readable. The autonomous travel device () includes a detection unit (line sensor ()) that detects the line (), an acquisition unit (detection sensor ()) that acquires the operation control information from the marker (), and a control unit () that controls an operation of the autonomous travel device () on the basis of a detection result from the detection unit and the operation control information acquired by the acquisition unit.

Autonomous travel system

A liquid crystal display device includes at least one engagement structure for fixing a bezel () to a chassis (). The engagement structure includes a recessed portion () formed in a side surface () of the chassis and a pair of arms () formed in a side wall () of the bezel. The pair of arms is each cantilevered and placed such that the fixed ends () are positioned outward relative to the free ends (), respectively. The pair of arms can mutually support each other by being elastically deformed toward the chassis, and the free ends of the arms are at least partially fitted in the recessed portion of the chassis when the pair of arms is in the mutually supporting state, thus fixing the bezel to the chassis. Consequently, it is possible to reduce the width of the frame area and to automate the process of fixing the bezel.
