A special kind warning display panel 6 is provided near the outlet 12 to notify that the article in the outlet 12 is a special kind. The special type warning display panel 6 is connected to the control device 8 via a signal line.

A to F are supply destinations of the present embodiment. FIG. 4 shows a floor in a factory. An automatic warehouse 1 is provided at a predetermined position in the factory, and supply destinations A to F are provided near a product production line. In the present embodiment, an operator loads articles delivered to the delivery port 12 on the carriage 4 as a transport means, transports the transport route 7a or 7b, and supplies the destinations A to C.
Alternatively, the articles are supplied to DF.

Each supply destination is provided with a bar code reader 5 which is an input device for transmitting a retrieval request to the automatic warehouse control computer 2. The bar code reader 5 is a wireless bar code reader, and transmits the read out retrieval request information to the automatic warehouse control computer 2 by radio waves. A wireless device for transmitting a radio wave is incorporated in the barcode reader 5, and the barcode reader itself serves as an input unit of the present invention.

In this embodiment, a predetermined number of articles are handled in an article box. An article information display plate is attached to the side of the article box so as to be able to be taken in and out. A bar code indicating the product type and the number of requested deliveries is printed on the article information display plate. On the other hand, the requested supply destination name and the route ID are registered in the bar code reader 5 in advance. Create the delivery request information. Each supply destination A to F is provided with a station for placing an article box, and a worker on the production line places the empty article box on the station of the supply destination A to F corresponding to each production line, thereby requesting a delivery. The required items are clear.

Next, the steps of the embodiment will be described. FIG.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of leaving an automatic warehouse according to an embodiment.

In step S 1, the worker applies the bar code reader 5 to the bar code on the article information display plate at any of the supply destinations A to F, reads out the delivery request information, and transmits the information to the automatic warehouse control computer 2. (Shipping request process). The automatic warehouse control computer 2 stores the delivery request information in a temporary memory area.

In step S2, it is determined whether or not the requested delivery deadline is a predetermined delivery deadline. If the deadline has not been reached, the process returns to step S1, and if the deadline has been reached, the process proceeds to step S3 (delivery determination step). In the present embodiment, the delivery request deadline time is a condition for fixing the delivery to close the delivery request, and is determined by the time for each of the supply destinations A to F. This time is determined to be the most efficient based on a predetermined production plan.

Various conditions can be applied to the conditions for confirming the delivery, in addition to being determined by the time as in the embodiment. For example, there are a time interval determined for each supply destination, a loading capacity (such as the number of loads) of the transportation means, a state of the supply destination, and a combination of these conditions.

In step S3, the automatic warehouse control computer 2 stores the data in the temporary memory area in another area in the memory as the exit data, and then proceeds to step S4.

In step S4, the automatic warehouse control computer 2 reads the outgoing control information stored in the external storage device in advance into the memory. The leaving control information is information necessary for controlling when the automatic warehouse takes out the articles, such as the order in which the articles whose leaving has been decided are taken out. In the case of the embodiment,
Transport route information and special kind information are used as the delivery control information. The transport route information is information that determines the order of supply destinations for each transport route. The special kind information is information that defines a kind that requires attention at the time of supply, such as a similar article.

Next, in step S5, the automatic warehouse control computer 2 rearranges the determined warehousing information data so that the arrangement order is the reverse of the supply order of the transportation route information of the corresponding transportation means, and stores it in the memory as warehousing instruction data. Store (shipment instruction information creation step).

Subsequently, in step S6, the leading data of the retrieval instruction data is transmitted to the temporary memory and deleted from the retrieval instruction data. In step S7, the information of the article to be taken out and temporarily stored in the memory is compared with the special kind information. If the article is a special kind, the process proceeds to step S10. Display panel 6
Is sent to the special kind warning display panel 6, and the process proceeds to step S11.

If the article is not a special kind in step S7, the process proceeds to step S8, where the automatic warehouse control computer 2 instructs the automatic warehouse 1 via the control device 3 to output the corresponding article to the outlet 12. Then, the operator confirms that the special kind warning display panel 6 is not lit, and loads the articles in the outlet 12 on the cart 4. When the article is removed from the outlet 12, the process proceeds to step S9. The articles are stacked in order from the row on the handle side of the cart 4, and when the row reaches a predetermined height, the articles are stacked in the next row.

In step S11, the automatic warehouse control computer 2 instructs the automatic warehouse 1 to send the corresponding article to the exit 1
Issue 2 Here, the operator displays the special type warning display panel 6
Is lit, and the articles in the outlet 12 are loaded on the cart 4. The operator loads articles on a row different from the non-special row of the cart 4. A row is created for loading only special varieties, and when the special varieties are to be delivered next time, they are loaded on that row. When the article is removed from the outlet 12, the process proceeds to step S9.

In this embodiment, since the automatic warehouse 1 is composed of the first automatic warehouse 1a and the second automatic warehouse 2b, and is a plurality of units, the products of the first automatic warehouse 1a and the second automatic warehouse 2b join. At the point, the transport conveyor and the like are controlled so that the goods are ejected to the exit 12 in the order of the exit instruction.

In step S9, it is determined whether or not the data of the leaving instruction information has been lost, that is, whether or not the leaving of the carriage 4 has been completed. If the retrieval has not been completed, the process returns to step S6, and the retrieval processing of the next article is performed. When the retrieval is completed, the retrieval to the carriage 4 is completed.

Thereafter, the worker moves the carriage 4 along the determined transport route 7a or 7b, and
Articles are supplied in the order of B, C or supply destinations D, E, F.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining loading and supply of articles in this embodiment. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram for explaining conventional loading and supply of articles. In each of the drawings, the articles 10 are supplied by the cart 4 along the transport route 7 in the order of the supply destinations A, B, and C. At the exit of the automated warehouse,
The cart 4 starts with the articles 10 loaded in three rows and four stages. The rows on the cart 4 are 10a, 10b, 10 in order from the handle 41 side.
Called c. The characters described on the article 10 indicate the supply destination.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, only the article of the supply destination C is loaded on the row 10a. In the row 10b, articles of the supply destination C are stacked at the bottom, and three articles of the supply destination B are stacked thereon. In the row 10c, the lower two items are the products of the supply destination B, and the two items of the supply destination A are stacked thereon. The stacking can be performed in this way because the automatic warehouse 1 discharges the articles in the reverse order of the supply destination of the transport route 7 of the cart 4.

When the worker arrives at the supply destination A, the line 10c
The article of the supply destination A is moved to the station of the supply destination A from above. Subsequently, upon arriving at the destination B, the worker moves to row 1
From 0c, the article of the destination B is moved to the station of the destination B, and then the article of the destination B is moved from the top of the row 10b to the station of the destination B. Finally, upon arriving at the destination C, the worker moves the goods of the destination C from the row 10b to the station of the destination C, and then moves to the destination C of the row 10a.
Is moved to the station of the supply destination C.

As described above, when the worker supplies the articles to the supply destination, the supplies can be supplied only by sequentially lowering the cart 4 from the side opposite to the handle 41, so that the time for supplying the articles from the automatic warehouse to the supply destination is reduced. Can be shortened. As a result, necessary articles can be supplied to the production line in a timely manner, and product production costs can be reduced.

On the other hand, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 8, articles are stacked without relation to the order of supply destination. Thus, for example,
When arriving at the destination A, the worker is in the row 10b and the row 10a.
In order to lower the article of the supply destination A below the article, the article above the article of the supply destination A is once lowered, loaded on the carriage 4 again, and moved to the supply destination B. At this time, if the articles in the row 10b and the row 10a are lowered or stacked while the articles in the row 10c are loaded, the articles in the row 10c may fall down. It is better to do. Therefore, in the conventional method, it is inevitable that the articles to be supplied to a destination other than the corresponding destination are once lowered, the desired articles are taken out, and then the articles are loaded again.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory view for explaining loading and supply of articles when there is a special kind in this embodiment. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram for explaining conventional loading and supply of articles when there is a special type. In each of the figures, the articles 10 are supplied by the carriage 4 along the transport route 7 in the order of the supply destinations A, B, and C. At the exit of the automatic warehouse, the cart 4 starts with the articles 10 loaded in three or four rows. The rows on the cart 4 are 10a, 10b, 10c,
10d. The characters described on the article 10 indicate the kind of the article. The product types m4 and m3 are similar types and are easily erroneously supplied, and are designated as special types.

In this embodiment, a special kind of article is stored in the outlet 1
When the product is delivered to the warehouse 2, a warning is displayed on the special product warning display panel 6, so that the operator loads the product on another row 10 a, 10 c different from the row on which other articles are loaded as shown in FIG. 7. For this reason, even if there is a similar product in the articles to be transported, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that the article is supplied to another destination by mistake. Of course, in the rows 10a and 10c, the goods are unloaded so that they can be loaded from below in the reverse order of the supply destination.

On the other hand, in the conventional case, since there is no warning even if there is a similar product, even if there is a similar product, it is loaded as shown in FIG. 9 without being distinguished from other articles. For this reason, there is a possibility that the article of m3 and the article of m4 are supplied by mistake.

In this embodiment, the automatic warehouse and the supply destination are described as being in the same factory, but the present invention is not limited to this. The automatic warehouse and the supply destination may be in different factories on the same premises. In addition, the automatic warehouse and the supply destination may be located at separate factories, or each supply destination may be a separate factory. Further, the present invention can be applied even if the company of the automatic warehouse and the company of each supply destination are separate companies.

Although the input means for inputting the retrieval request information has been described as being provided at the supply destination, the present invention is not particularly limited to this. A place for collecting the delivery request information may be provided in a place different from the supply destination, and input means may be provided here to collectively input the information. Alternatively, the retrieval request information may be sent by another means (for example, telephone / FAX) and directly input by an input device attached to the control means. However, if the input means is provided in the vicinity of the supply destination, it is possible to input a retrieval request to the control means in a timely manner.

Although the transportation means has been described as a cart, the invention is not limited to this, and any means can be applied as long as the articles can be transported. For example, when there is a factory in a remote place or when the supply destination is another company, a truck is used.

As an input means, a bar code is read,
Although the description has been given of the barcode reader that transmits wirelessly, the present invention is not limited to this. Various devices can be used as the input device, and a method of describing the retrieval request information can be appropriately selected in accordance with the input device. In the embodiment, the wireless communication is used as the communication means. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a communication line such as a dedicated line, the Internet, or a combination thereof can be used.

If wireless is used as the communication means, there is no need to lay signal lines, so that the layout of the supply destination can be freely designed and the movement of the station of the supply destination can be made freely. If a communication line is used as a communication means, it is possible to transmit high-speed and highly-reliable exit request information when supplying goods to factories dispersed in various places or when supplying goods to chain stores. Supply is possible.

If the Internet is used, it is possible to receive an order from an unspecified user and supply the ordered product efficiently and in a short time from the automatic warehouse. For example, a homepage is established on the Internet to sell articles stored in an automatic warehouse. The user sends an order from the Internet while viewing this homepage. This order is sent to the homepage owner's server via the Internet as delivery request information,
Sent from server to automated warehouse control computer.

The delivery request information includes information such as the order date and time, the address of the orderer (supply destination), etc., in addition to the product type and the number of orders. The delivery request is closed with and the delivery is confirmed. This condition includes the load capacity of the trucks currently on standby,
There are goods supply range, deadline time, etc. of lorry.

The transportation route of the lorry is determined based on the orderer's address of the confirmed delivery data and the map data stored in the external storage device of the automatic warehouse control computer in advance. Once the transportation route is determined, the order of supply destinations for supplying the goods is determined. As in the embodiment, the automatic warehouse control computer creates the delivery instruction data by rearranging the delivery confirmation data in the reverse order of the supply destination, and issues the articles from the automatic warehouse in the order of the delivery instruction data.

An operator loads the articles delivered to the exit of the automatic warehouse sequentially from the back of the truck bed of the truck. As a result, the goods are loaded in the order of supply destination from the goods entrance / exit of the cargo truck. When the loading of the goods on the truck is finished, the driver moves the truck along the predetermined transportation route and supplies the goods to the supply destination sequentially. The driver of the lorry can take out the goods in order from the goods loading / unloading port of the carrier and deliver the goods to the orderer, and can deliver the goods to the orderer in a short time.

In this case, as in the embodiment, a special product is determined and loaded separately. As special varieties, in addition to easily confused articles, there are articles that require special handling, such as broken pieces. In this case as well as in the case of the embodiment, the loading of the articles from the automatic warehouse to the transportation means is performed by the operator, but the loading can be performed automatically by providing a transfer facility.
