Conveyance apparatus and conveyance control apparatus

A conveyance control apparatus that is provided separately from a conveyance apparatus and controls the conveyance apparatus, wherein the conveyance apparatus includes a lifting mechanism raisable upward and lowerable downward, lifts an object to be conveyed, by bringing the lifting mechanism into contact with the object to be conveyed and raising the lifting mechanism, and moves in a state in which the object to be conveyed is lifted, the conveyance control apparatus comprising:

• a communication section that receives load information from the conveyance apparatus and transmits control information to the conveyance apparatus, the load information being information indicating a plurality of loads detected by a plurality of load sensors provided in the lifting mechanism when the plurality of load sensors comes into contact with the object to be conveyed, the control information being information indicating a control instruction for the conveyance apparatus;
• a calculation section that calculates a center-of-gravity position of the object to be conveyed, based on a distribution of the plurality of loads that has been detected;
• and
• a control section that generates the control information for moving the conveyance apparatus to a position and raising the lifting mechanism, the position being a position at which the object to be conveyed is liftable at the center-of-gravity position that has been calculated.
