A substrate processing system includes: a substrate processing apparatus; a maintenance apparatus; and control circuitry. The substrate processing apparatus includes a substrate processing module, and a vacuum transfer module. The vacuum transfer module includes a vacuum transfer chamber and a first planar motor to move at least one magnetically floating movable body along a first plane in the vacuum transfer chamber. The maintenance apparatus includes a standby chamber connected to the vacuum transfer chamber, and a second planar motor to move the at least one magnetically floating movable body along a second plane extending from the first plane into the standby chamber, and the control circuitry controls the first planar motor and the second planar motor to replace an operating magnetically floating movable body with a replacement magnetically floating movable body located in the standby chamber.
