Abstract
In a processing system of a linear tool in which plural carrying robots are arranged in carrying mechanical units to which processing modules are coupled and a processing target is delivered and received between the plural carrying robots, in the case where there are plural carrying routes on which the processing target is carried, the present invention provides a technique for determining the carrying route on which the highest throughput can be obtained. In the processing system of a linear tool, in the case where there are plural carrying routes on which the processing target is carried, the throughputs of the respective carrying routes are compared to each other, and the carrying route is determined by a unit for selecting the carrying route with the highest throughput.
