Server apparatus, system, and operating method of system

A system comprising a plurality of mobile objects each having a facility for executing one or more processes in a plurality of processes to be executed sequentially to manufacture a product, and a server apparatus configured to communicate with the plurality of mobile object objects, wherein the plurality of mobile objects includes a first mobile object assigned to execute a first process in the plurality of processes and a second mobile object assigned to execute a second process in the plurality of processes, the second process following the first process, the server apparatus is further configured to set a first travel route for the first mobile object to travel to a meeting point with the second mobile object, upon determining that the first mobile object, if traveling on the first travel route, arrives at the meeting point before the first process is completed, change the first travel route to a second travel route that requires a longer travel time for the first mobile object to travel to the meeting point than the first travel route, so that the first mobile object, if traveling on the second travel route, arrives at the meeting point when the first process is completed, and control, by transmitting a first instruction to the first mobile object, the first mobile object to travel on the second travel route, arrive at the meeting point when the first process is completed, and deliver the product being manufactured to the second mobile object at the meeting point.

An operating method of a server apparatus configured to communicate with a plurality of mobile objects each having a facility for executing one or more processes in a plurality of processes to be executed sequentially to manufacture a product, the plurality of mobile objects including a first mobile object assigned to execute a first process in the plurality of processes and a second mobile object assigned to execute a second process in the plurality of processes, the second process following the first process, the operating method comprising:

• setting a first travel route for the first mobile object to travel to a meeting point with the second mobile object upon determining that the first mobile object, if traveling on the first travel route, arrives at the meeting point before the first process is completed, changing the first travel route to a second travel route that requires a longer travel time for the first mobile object to travel to the meeting point than the first travel route, so that the first mobile object, if traveling on the second travel route, arrives at the meeting point when the first process is completed, and controlling, by transmitting, a first instruction to the first mobile object, the first mobile object to travel on the second travel route, arrive at the meeting point when the first process is completed, and deliver the product being manufactured to the second mobile object at the meeting point.
