Abstract: A shield gate includes a door member disposed in a gap region located between an intra-area transport unit and an extra-area transport unit in a transport direction in a closed state in which the shield gate shields an opening, and is disposed at a position displaced from the gap region in an open state in which the shield gate opens the opening. A second interval is a length of the gap region that allows the door member to be disposed, during at least a part of a non-transport period, the length of the gap region is set to be greater than or equal to the second interval, and the shield gate is in the closed state, and, during the transport period, the shield gate is in the open state, and the length of the gap region is set to a first interval that is shorter than the second interval.

Abstract: In order to determine, without a trial, whether or not an article can be transferred and in order to reset the article in a case where the article cannot be transferred, provided is a transfer system including: a first determining section that determines whether or not a transferring section can hold and transfer an article, on the basis of a posture of the article an image of which has been captured by a camera section; and an adjusting section that, in a case where the first determining section determines that the transferring section cannot transfer the article, controls a driving section and a holding direction changing section so that the posture and a position of the article are adjusted to a posture and a position that allow the transferring section to transfer the article.

Abstract: A loading assistance device includes an infeed unit to which a plurality of articles are transported, a work area, a transporter that transports the plurality of articles from the infeed unit to the work area, a reader that reads identification information on the plurality of articles, a writer that writes operation assistance information on a surface of each of the plurality of articles, and a control system. The work area includes a plurality of work sections in which supports are placed. The operation assistance information includes section specification information specifying a work section of the plurality of work sections for each of the plurality of articles to undergo loading. The control system generates the section specification information to be written on each of the plurality of articles based on the identification information to allow articles in a same category to be preferentially loaded onto a same support of the supports.

Abstract: In a case of changing the traveling speed of a transport vehicle, in order for the traveling speed of the transport vehicle to reach a target speed at a target position that is on a downstream side in the travel path relative to the current position of the transport vehicle, a control unit generates reference speed commands in accordance with a traveling speed time change pattern according to which the travel acceleration changes in a stepwise manner, generates a moving average command obtained using the moving average of the reference speed commands in a set period, and controls travel operations of a travel unit based on the moving average command.

Abstract: A contactless power feeding facility includes a coupling unit electromagnetically coupling a target feeder line and an adjacent feeder line. A target power supply apparatus includes: a phase detector detecting the induced current phase which is the phase of an induced current flowing through the target feeder line by the electromagnetic induction via the coupling unit while an alternating current is supplied to the adjacent feeder line by an adjacent power supply apparatus; an alternating-current generator generating the alternating current to be supplied to the target feeder line; and a phase controller controlling the alternating-current generator such that the phase of the alternating current to be supplied to the target feeder approaches the induced current phase detected by the phase detector.

Abstract: A raising/lowering conveyance device for a container for conveying an article has container supports that can move toward or away from a container in the horizontal direction and up and down with respect to the container. The container supports have a plurality of container support pins that can advance/retreat in the horizontal direction from the container and that are forcibly held at a position protruding from a front surface of the container support. The container supports are configured to lift the container by the container support pins which protrude under a downward step surface formed on the outside of the container. A pin main body of the container support pins protrudes from the front surface and has a flat tip perpendicular to the center axis of the pin main body, and has a tapered shape that increases in diameter toward the flat tip and is thicker toward the end.
