1. A production system including a conveyance device configured to convey an article, a robot configured to perform a work on the article conveyed by the conveyance device, a movement device configured to move the robot, the production system comprising:
a sensor configured to acquire position information of the article conveyed by the conveyance device;
a calculation unit configured to compute a velocity vector of the article conveyed by the conveyance device based on the position information acquired by the sensor; and
a control unit configured to, when a movement direction of the article conveyed by the conveyance device is different from a movement direction of the robot moved by the movement device, control a velocity vector of the robot moved by the movement device and a velocity vector of a position of an end effector of the robot so as to make a sum of the velocity vector of the robot moved by the movement device and the velocity vector of the position of the end effector of the robot match the velocity vector of the article conveyed by the conveyance device.
