Abstract
A control system for controlling transport devices includes a first server that has a first storage unit and a first instruction unit, and a second server that has a second storage unit and a second instruction unit. In a first state, the first storage unit transmits first transport information to the first instruction unit, the first instruction unit transmits second transport information to a target transport device, and instruction unit information is stored in common in the first instruction unit and the second instruction unit. If the first instruction unit stops operating normally in the first state, the control state is switched to a second state, and in the second state, the first storage unit transmits the first transport information to the second instruction unit, and the second instruction unit transmits the second transport information to the target transport device based on the instruction unit information.
