Abstract: Provided is a carriage system control method and carriage system control apparatus capable of preventing a transportation delay, the carriage system control method including (a) performing upper-level communication to receive bidirectional information by using wireless communication in a normal state from a track controller or a carriage moving along rails of a track and supplied with power through the track or power supply cables, (b) determining whether an abnormal state in which the upper-level communication is disabled has occurred, (c) determining whether current is being applied to the track or the power supply cables, when it is determined that the abnormal state has occurred, and (d) maintaining operation of the carriage or the track controller without closing a corresponding lane to prevent a transportation delay, when it is determined that current is being applied to the track or the power supply cables.

Abstract: A storage apparatus for storing an object includes a load port unit that a receptacle is loaded onto or unloaded from, in which the receptacle accommodates the object in a storage space formed by a body and a cover that covers the body, and a controller. The load port unit includes a housing having an interior space, a stage member that is provided on the housing and that opens the storage space by moving the body, the receptacle being seated on the stage member, and an exhaust tube that evacuates a spacing space between the body and the cover spaced apart from each other. One end of the exhaust tube faces toward the spacing space, and an opposite end of the exhaust tube faces toward the interior space.
