Abstract

PURPOSE:In a system for picking a specified part out of a holder such as a container in which parts are stored in a mixed state by means of a CRT display device, to prevent wrong picking by clearly indicating the picking position by graphic display of the mixed positional relation of the container. CONSTITUTION:When a container 12 conveyed by a conveyor 11 out of an automatic storeroom or the like is stopped in front of a CRT display device 15, picking information 31 is sent to a CPU27. Then, the CPU27 reads graphic information 29 of the container by the key of mixed type of input information 31 by a file device 28 to display the container graphic 16 on the display device 15 and gives a hatching display 19 of the relevant portion in the graphic 16 by the key of mixed position. As container number 17, part abbreviation 20 and others are displayed sequentially, the operator can pick a specified part from the actual position in the container 12 corresponding to the hatching display partion 19.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a picking system for small parts using an automatic warehouse or the like, and in particular to a system for picking specified parts from a container such as a container that stores mixed parts. This invention relates to a picking method using a CRT display device.

[Technical background of the invention]

However, in the past, only limited information such as the number of items in stock or the number of items picked could be displayed using a numerical display (1) as shown in Figure 1. ,
Even if a CRT display device is used, as shown in Figure 2, the product name, identification code, and
Only text information (2) including numerical values such as rated values was displayed. On the other hand, when storing parts that are becoming smaller year by year in containers, etc., a method has been adopted in which a partition plate or the like is provided in the same container to mix multiple types of parts in order to improve storage efficiency.

[Problems with background technology]

In the conventional picking method, the information needed to pick parts that are mixed in the same container is only to display the mixed position in numbers and characters, so the actual mixed positional relationship cannot be displayed. Therefore, there were many drawbacks to picking parts other than those specified by mistake.

[Purpose of the invention]

To provide a system capable of preventing picking errors in a picking system in which items are mixed.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention uses CR1 to display information necessary for picking.
Using a graphic display device such as a display device, draw a two-dimensional or three-dimensional figure of a storage container such as a container so that it has the same relationship as the actual mixed relationship, and then draw hatching or other figures to mark the part that corresponds to picking. By distinguishing the parts from other parts by displaying colors and colors, it is possible to clarify the mixed positions to be subjected to sibisoking, and to prevent picking mistakes.

[Embodiments of the invention]

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an apparatus to which an embodiment of the present invention is applied, as well as input information from its surroundings and the like. In the figure, 0υ is a conveyor connected to an automated warehouse, etc., a is a conveyor (a container transported to [υ], 0 is a container number to identify container θ2,
■ is a container (a partition plate for dividing one unit into smaller parts, (IQ
is the display device, αe is the graphic display section that displays the container α, θ'i) is the container number display section, and cod is the partition plate 04)
The line segment that has the same relationship as , the u bell is the hatching that instructs to move from within the drawing partition, (2@ is the display part of the part type abbreviation (R...), (2I) is the part identification part Code display section, (2 and 3) are outbound display arrows, (c) are warehousing display arrows, Q4) are frame displays, (to) are stock quantity display sections, (2)
e is the output number display unit, (the second force is c that controls the display device 0ω)
pu, C28) is a file device that contains graphic information necessary for display, (2!1 is a mixed type (A
-H) An example of a container figure indicating another, t30) is also an example of an auxiliary figure filed in the file device (2al, 0
1) is an example of picking information sent to the CPU (27).

Next, the operation shown in FIG. 3 will be explained. Container a transported by conveyor 01) stops in front of display device a. In this state, the CPU (picking information 01 in 151)
is sent. The CPU αQ selects the mixed type (for example, F) as a key from the sent picking information C31) and files the file device (figure information 09 of the 2-barrel container).
is read out and displayed at a predetermined position on the display device 051. Next, using the mixed position as a key, the corresponding portions of the container figure ae that were displayed earlier are displayed Q and I.

Next, from the picking information 01), the container number aη, part abbreviation -, part identification code (2υ), delivery instruction (2z1), inventory quantity (2), and delivery quantity (c) are displayed.

Since the display is completed above, the picking person picks the parts at the position of the actual container corresponding to the position shown in the displayed container shape (IG). If the person performing picking sends a signal indicating completion to the CPU (c) using a switch or the like, information processing necessary for the next picking can be performed.

The above has described the case where multiple types of parts are mixed in the same container, but even when storing one type of part in the same container, the container is divided into multiple parts and in-first-out information is displayed for the purpose of managing first-in, first-out, etc. It can be applied to

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention is as described above, and since the picking position can be easily and clearly identified by displaying the same graphic as the actual mixed positional relationship of containers, the picking position is displayed using numbers and letters unlike the conventional method. This method has the great effect of significantly reducing picking errors compared to other methods. .
