Abstract: In a conveyance system, a conveyance object is conveyed by use of a plurality of mobile robots autonomously movable inside a facility. In a case where a blockade request event occurs in at least one area inside the facility, the conveyance system receives occurrence information transmitted from a facility management system configured to manage the facility and causes the mobile robots to execute an operation restriction to restrict operations of the mobile robots. In a case where a predetermined condition for the blockade request event is established after the mobile robots execute the operation restriction, the conveyance system reboots the mobile robots.

Abstract: A transport system transports a transported object using an autonomously moveable mobile robot. The transport system stores management information including a use start time, a use end time, and a use location for each equipment to be lent that is transported as the transported object by the mobile robot. The transport system executes a determination process for determining whether an interval from the use end time to a next use start time is equal to or longer than a predetermined time for each equipment based on the management information. The transport system transports the equipment to its storage location after an end of use of the equipment when the interval is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, and transports the equipment to a next use location of the equipment after the end of the use of the equipment when the interval is shorter than the predetermined time.

Abstract: A management system includes an autonomously movable mobile robot configured to be managed by the management system and transport a transport article. The mobile robot includes a storage locker capable of containing a transport article and being electrically locked or unlocked. The management system is configured to determine whether to unlock the storage locker according to a security level set for unlocking the storage locker. The management system is configured to, when the management system receives a notification of an emergency event, lower the security level.
