Abstract
A conveyance system is provided which conveys an object to a machining apparatus using a conveying apparatus and which further enables power saving. A controller calculates a first conveyance completion estimated time when conveyance from a first mounting position to machining apparatuses at a reference speed is complete. If a request to load a next object into the machining apparatus is issued by the machining apparatus, the controller decides a first moving speed of a conveying apparatus to be a reference speed when the machining apparatus is not performing a machining operation at the first conveyance completion estimated time and to be a low speed lower than the reference speed when the machining apparatus is performing the machining operation at the first conveyance completion estimated time.
