Abstract
An overhead transport vehicle system includes an overhead transport vehicle to travel on a track to transport an object and including a holder to transfer the object to a placement portion below the track, and a teaching unit. The system is configured or programmed to cause the overhead transport vehicle to hold the teaching unit and perform teaching of a transfer operation to the placement portion. The holder includes a power-feeding terminal to feed power from a power source and a first communication terminal to receive teaching information. The teaching unit includes a power-receiving terminal to which the power is fed and a second communication terminal to transmit teaching information. When the teaching unit is held by the holder, the power-receiving terminal and the power-feeding terminal become energizable and the first and second communication terminals become communicable.
