- the camera may transmit the shelf number corresponding to the position where the worker is photographed and the shooting time thereof to the arrangement information registration apparatus 1 as position information.
- the means for transmitting position information is, for example, installing a base station of a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) in a warehouse, This can be achieved by having a person possess a wireless terminal and using coordinates defined on the floor map.
- the base station that has received the signal transmitted from the wireless terminal calculates the distance from the transmission source based on the received intensity (the vibration intensity of the radio wave), and the position coordinates of the worker carrying the wireless terminal are determined. What is necessary is just to identify and to transmit to the arrangement
- the means for transmitting the position information includes, for example, a plurality of vibration sensors such as microphones installed in a warehouse, and a floor map. This can be achieved by using the coordinates defined above.

- the position information including the height direction may be specified using the rule information that rules the person's operation procedure. For example, when the rule information that scans in the order of the upper, middle, and lower tiers of the shelf at the same position is set, the article identification information received three times in succession with the same position information is used as the same position information. Rather than registering them as arrangement information in association with each other, the same position information is corrected to position information corresponding to the upper, middle, and lower stages of the shelf and then registered.
- This rule information can be set not only in the height direction of the shelf but also in the horizontal direction.
- this rule information may be used in order to further improve the registration accuracy of the position information by making the order of the shelves to be scanned in the floor into a rule.

- the position information can be obtained with higher accuracy even when it is difficult to determine whether the A shelf is scanned or the B shelf is scanned with the position information that can be acquired because the width of the passage is narrow. It becomes possible to register.
- the arrangement information registration unit 13 in the above-described embodiment obtains the position information at substantially the same time as the reading time of the article identification information received by the identification information receiving unit 11 from the position information received by the position information receiving unit 12. Although it is selected, selecting this position information is not an essential component of the present invention. The following processing can also be performed without selecting position information. For example, when the position information can be received with the same level of immediacy as the article identification information, the latest position received by the position information receiving section 12 when the identification information receiving section 11 receives the article identification information. It is good also as registering the arrangement
- the article identification information and reading time received from the barcode scanner 2 and the position information received from the flow line analyzer 32 are sequentially processed in real time.
- the arrangement information may be registered at a later time by batch processing or the like.
