Cross-storage transportation control method, apparatus and system

The present application provides a method, apparatus and system for controlling transportation between warehouses. The method includes: receiving, from the source RCS, first transportation information which includes information of a first to-be-transported object; transporting the first to-be-transported object to a handover area; transferring control over the AGV from the source RCS to the target RCS; receiving a location of a first target storage space from the target RCS; transporting the first to-be-transported object from the handover area to the first target storage space. In the present application, the AGV transfers the control over itself from the source RCS to the target RCS after moving the to-be-transported object to the handover area, such that the target RCS could take over the AGV and control the AGV to transport the first to-be-transported object from the handover area to the first target storage space. In this way, a fully automatic transportation is achieved, improving the efficiency of transporting and warehousing compared to manual transporting.

Modularity of Tec-Cell, FOUP and substrate containers and carriers

Methods, systems and apparatuses for an improved wafer and substrate carrier or container with improved modularity. More specifically, to a carrier or container with improved abilities which may provide high or low density carriers or containers with improved interchanging and compatibility, including for Tec-Cells, FOUPs, and other third party containers, carriers, modules, rings or any other systems, structures, apparatuses, or methods associated. The invention may provided an ability to interchange or be cross-compatible such as wherein Tec-Cell carriers, containers, rings or modules may be provided to be housed in a FOUP or other third party carrier or wherein substrates or wafers held in the Tec-Cell Carriers, rings, containers, or modules, and then held within the FOUP.
