Automated guided vehicle operation system and automated guided vehicle operation method

Abstract

To provide an automated guided vehicle operation system and an automated guided vehicle operation method that are able to reduce influence caused by a malfunction.SOLUTION: An automated guided vehicle operation system 1 loads an automated guided vehicle 20 with a to-be-conveyed object conforming to to-be-conveyed object information, from a loading unit 10 where a plurality of types of to-be conveyed objects are placed on respective type-specific placement units 11 according to their types, and conveys the conveyed object to an unloading unit 30. The automated guided vehicle operation system 1 includes unloading-unit communication means disposed in the unloading unit 30; guided-vehicle communication means disposed in the automated guided vehicle 20; and each placement-unit communication means disposed in each type-specific placement unit 11. The unloading-unit communication means transmits the to-be-conveyed object information to the guided-vehicle communication means. Each placement-unit communication means transmits a signal to the guided-vehicle communication means according to whether the type information of a corresponding type-specific placement unit 11 and the to-be-conveyed object information received from the guided-vehicle communication means match or not.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
