There was a problem in that it took time to find the location of the shelf bins, which did not improve work efficiency.

Furthermore, when newly storing a product, it is necessary to input both the product number and storage bin, which poses a problem in that the amount of work is large and errors are likely to occur.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a product management device that can efficiently store and take out products.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The above object is to provide a storage shelf having a plurality of partitioned shelves for storing products, an input means for inputting the product part number, and a storage bin corresponding to the product part number. a storage means for storing, a readout instruction means for reading out the shelf number stored in the storage means in accordance with the product number input by the input means, and the above-mentioned for displaying the location of the shelf number read by the readout instruction means. display means provided in each section of the storage shelf; command means provided in each section of the storage shelf for commanding the location of the shelf number of the product;
This is achieved by a product management device characterized in that it is provided with a write instruction means for writing into the storage means the shelf number commanded by the command means in accordance with the product number input by the input means.

(Function) Since the present invention is configured as described above, when newly storing a product in a storage shelf, the command means provided in each section of the storage shelf commands the location of the storage bin where the product is stored, and the writing instruction is issued. Since the storage unit is written to the storage unit according to the product number input by the input unit, there is no need to input the storage unit each time. The storage bin corresponding to the product number input by the input means is read by the means, and the location of this storage bin is displayed on the display means provided in each section of the storage shelf, so that the product can be efficiently displayed. It will be possible to take it out.
