ABSTRACT:
Management of move requests from a factory system to an automated handling system (AMHS) is provided. In one embodiment, a method and system is provided which includes receiving a move request from the factory system and selectively passing the move request to the AMHS based on a comparison of the move request with one or more conditions of the AMHS. The move request may be selectively passed to the AMHS by, for example, passing the move request to the AMHS without modification, changing a destination tool identified in the move request and/or delaying the move request, or canceling the move request. By selectively passing the move request based on conditions of the AMHS, move requests can more efficiently be managed and the throughput of the automated material handling system can be increased.
