The transport vehicle is also equipped with a locator, and the controller has a locator control module. The locator control module controls the locator to locate the transport vehicle in real time and provides real-time location information for the path planning module to plan the path. This facilitates the planning of the nearest T-shaped opening, allowing the vehicle to enter the third connecting corridor and be transported to the first storage location. This has the technical effect of avoiding full loading of the first storage location and solving congestion. Attached Figure Description
