  • Patent number: 12139377
    Abstract: A control unit performs a travel stop process for stopping travel of a travel unit in response to an indicator detection unit detecting a stop notice indicator section and then detecting a stop position indicator section. After the travel of the travel unit is stopped as a result of the travel stop process, the control unit performs a transfer process for causing a transfer unit to transfer an article. The control unit performs, instead of the transfer process, anomaly notification processing for providing a notification of an occurrence of an anomaly to a superordinate control unit, after the travel of the travel unit is stopped by the travel stop process, in response to: (i) a travel distance, from a position at which the indicator detection unit has detected the stop notice indicator section, being smaller than a determination distance smaller than a notice distance, and (ii) the indicator detection unit detecting the stop position indicator section.
