Original Abstract Submitted

A conveyance system, a conveyance method, and a program that are capable of preventing an article stored in a shelf from falling are provided. A conveyance system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a shelf provided with a guide rail extending in a vertical direction; a mounting table that is engageable with the guide rail; a lifting part configured to lift the mounting table up and down; an engagement detection sensor configured to detect engagement between the guide rail and the mounting table; and a safety control unit configured to stop an operation of the lifting part when a first condition including that the guide rail is not engaged with the mounting table is satisfied.
