Abstract
A transport system includes a mover, a transport unit including a plurality of transport modules, a detection unit configured to detect a human approach the transport system, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to control the mover along the transport unit and set a velocity of the mover for each of the plurality of transport modules. The control unit changes the velocity of the mover on at least one of the plurality of transport modules in response to a signal input from the detection unit.
Claims14
A transport system comprising:
- a mover;
- a transport unit including a plurality of transport modules;
- a detection unit configured to detect a human approach the transport system;
- and
- a control unit configured to
- control the mover along the transport unit, and
- set a velocity of the mover for each of the plurality of transport modules,
- wherein the control unit changes the velocity of the mover on at least one of the plurality of transport modules in response to a signal input from the detection unit.
A method for controlling a transport system, the transport system including a mover, a transport unit including a plurality of transport modules, and a control unit configured to control the mover along the transport unit, the method comprising:
- detecting a human approach the transport system;
- setting a velocity of the mover for each of the plurality of transport modules;
- and
- changing a velocity of the mover on at least one of the plurality of transport modules in response to a result of the detecting.
A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to perform a control method comprising:
- detecting a human approach a transport system, wherein the transport system includes a mover, a transport unit including a plurality of transport modules, and a control unit configured to control the mover along the transport unit;
- setting a velocity of the mover for each of the plurality of transport modules;
- and
- changing a velocity of the mover on at least one of the plurality of transport modules in response to a result of the detecting.
