Provided is a relay device and manufacturing system that relays communication based on SECS/GEM protocol to a manufacturing system using a different communication protocol, and enables integrated management via a SECS/GEM host. Relay device performs protocol conversion between a SECS/GEM protocol and an original protocol that is a non-SECS/GEM protocol, and transfers data transmitted between user host and manufacturer host. Also, relay device performs transfer processing based on a port correspondence database that specifies local IP addresses of manufacturer host and the like and TCP protocol port numbers corresponding to these IP addresses.
