[0005]

The function of displaying the image of the partition of the container is displayed on the display terminal, and the picking position, which is the target of this work, is displayed in blinking or colored. As a result, the target position of the current work can be intuitively grasped in correspondence with the physical position. If a touch panel is built in the display terminal and a partition box displayed in blinking or colored is touched, the box of the partition is enlarged and displayed. Boxes that are full of items include the product name, work type,
Although the number of operations is displayed, as the box expands, the characters displayed in the box also expand. Make it easy for the elderly and people with poor eyesight to see the work. After confirming the work content, touch inside the box again. Then, the display returns to the image display of the container partition.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIG. 1, a container 20 as a work target is conveyed to a conveyor line 10, and a worker M looks at information on a display terminal 30 and performs a picking work.
FIG. 2 shows a display example of the work information. Among the containers 20 having four partitions, the picking target position this time is position 31.
It is an image figure when it is and 34. Positions 31 and 34
Flashes, and is displayed in color. In the positions 31 and 34, the product name, the number of picking targets, and other work instruction information are displayed as character information. Each place 31,3
Position numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 are displayed on the left shoulders of 2, 33, 34, and a work completion box K is displayed on the right shoulders. Position numbers are basically unified. The container 20 is conveyed according to the image of the terminal. The work completion box is displayed as "completion" and is a touch panel.

Product name, work type in the work positions 31, 34,
A person who can easily read the work information such as the number of works can perform the picking work based on this. If a person who has difficulty reading the work information touches a desired position (excluding the completion box) in the positions 31 and 34 of the terminal device 30, the information of the position is enlarged and displayed (shown in FIG. 3).
