  • Publication number: 20240383689
    Abstract: An article transport facility includes a transport vehicle. The transport vehicle is configured to switch an access point of a connection destination while moving along a path to maintain a communicable state with a control device. In a case in which a communication intensity of radio waves between the transport vehicle and the access point is lower than a predetermined switching threshold value, the transport vehicle performs switching processing of switching the connection destination to another access point having a stronger communication intensity. The switching threshold value is set to different values in accordance with a movement condition of the transport vehicle.
