According to one embodiment, the center server 100 may register product information disposed on a specific pallet in operation 706 . For example, as shown in FIG. 10 , the center server 100 includes identification information of a pallet rack 250a in which an item is stored from a manager's terminal 510 and a pallet rack in which the item 1000 is placed. Item storage information including information about a specific floor among the plurality of floors (eg, the 10th floor) of 250a and a location where the article 1000 is placed on a pallet of the specific floor may be received. As described above, the positional information indicates a position on the pallet, and may indicate, for example, a position of an item such as a middle position, a leftmost position, or a rightmost position of the pallet.

It is a drawing for explanation.

According to an embodiment, the center server 100 may obtain characteristic information about a plurality of items in operation 1603 . For example, as shown in FIG. 17 , the center server 100 provides detailed information about a plurality of different items (eg, product A and product B) 1700 to be loaded from the manager's terminal 510 ( Example: type of each item, volume of each item, weight of each item) can be received.

According to an embodiment, the center server 100 may input information about a plurality of items to the artificial intelligence model in operation 1605 and provide information about a recommended route based on output information and distance information. . For example, the center server 100 is responsible for inputting detailed information 1701 of a plurality of items (eg, product A and product B) 1700 into the pre-implemented artificial intelligence model 1400. As a response, information 1702 about the weight of each of the plurality of articles (eg, product A and product B) 1700 and each placement position may be obtained. Sequentially, as shown in 1801 and 1802 of FIG. 18, the center server 100 uses the following [Equation 1] to obtain information 1702 on the weight and items (eg, product A, The indicator may be calculated by calculating information (1811, 1821) on the distance to be moved for loading of each item B).

For example, the center server 100 first sets the arrangement positions corresponding to the item A output from the artificial intelligence model 1400 at the current location (eg, a first arrangement position, a second arrangement) to store the item A. position, the relative distance (eg, 5m, 2m, 5m) to be moved to the third arrangement position) may be identified. The center server 100 calculates indices based on the weights and the relative distances, and obtains an arrangement position (eg, a second arrangement position) corresponding to an index having the highest value among the calculated indices. can do. Sequentially, the center server 100 sets the arrangement positions corresponding to the item B output from the artificial intelligence model 1400 in the second arrangement position where the item A is stored (eg, the fourth arrangement) for storage of the item B. A relative distance (eg, 5m, 2m, 5m) to be moved to the position, the fifth arrangement position, and the sixth arrangement position) may be identified. As described above, the center server 100 calculates indicators based on the weights and the relative distances, and places a location corresponding to the indicator having the highest value among the calculated indicators (e.g., the fifth placement position) can be obtained. Accordingly, in the center server 100, the optimal path for storing items (eg, product A and product B) is moved from the current position to the second arrangement position, and from the second arrangement position to the fifth arrangement position. It can be identified as moving. As shown in FIG. 18 , the center server 100 provides an optimum path including a path 1851 moving from the current position to the second arrangement position and a path 1852 moving from the second arrangement position to the fifth arrangement position. A map screen 1850 including a route of may be provided to the manager's terminal 510 .
