The guide unit 52 displays at least the first instruction information 71 out of the first instruction information 71 indicating information about the first article 21 and the second instruction information 72 indicating information about the second article 22 that can be delivered at the same time. It can be displayed on device 60 . The first instruction information 71 may take various forms as long as the information allows the operator to recognize the information regarding the first article 21 . Similarly, the second instruction information 72 may take various forms as long as it is information that allows the operator to recognize information about the second articles 22 that can be delivered simultaneously.

In FIG. 8, the first instruction information 71 is indicated by a black circle, and is displayed in a predetermined color (for example, red) in the vicinity of the information regarding the article 20 indicated by the identification information DID4, which is the first article 21. ing. Thereby, the worker can recognize the information about the article 20 indicated by the identification information DID4, which is the first article 21 . Further, the second instruction information 72 is indicated by a white circle, and in the vicinity of the information on the article 20 indicated by the identification information DID5 and the identification information DID6, which is the second article 22, in a predetermined color (for example, green). is displayed. Thereby, the worker can recognize information about the article 20 indicated by the identification information DID5 and the identification information DID6, which is the second article 22 .

In FIG. 9 as well, the first instruction information 71 is indicated by a black circle, and is displayed in a predetermined color (for example, red) in the vicinity of the information related to the article 20 indicated by the identification information DID4, which is the first article 21. It is However, in the figure, the article information 70 includes only information regarding the first article 21 and the second article 22 that can be delivered simultaneously. Therefore, the worker can recognize the information about the article 20 indicated by the identification information DID4, which is the first article 21, by the display of the first instruction information 71. FIG.

Also, since the first instruction information 71 is not displayed, the worker can recognize the information about the article 20 indicated by the identification information DID5 and the identification information DID6, which is the second article 22. Therefore, the second instruction information 72 is not shown in the figure and is not displayed on the display device 60 . However, the guidance unit 52 can also display both the first instruction information 71 and the second instruction information 72 on the screen shown in FIG.

It should be noted that the guide unit 52 can also cause the display device 60 to blink display at least the first instruction information 71 out of the first instruction information 71 and the second instruction information 72 . In addition, the guide unit 52 changes the display method of the information on the first article 21 and the information on the second article 22 (for example, the display color of the information itself, blinking display, etc.), so that the operator can recognize these information. can also guide you to In this case, the first instruction information 71 and the second instruction information 72 can be omitted. Furthermore, the guidance unit 52 can also guide the worker to the article information 70 by voice guidance or the like.

In this way, the guide section 52 can guide the worker to take out the first article 21 and the second article 22 requested to be taken out together when the case 30 is carried out from the storage 40 . Thereby, when the case 30 is carried out, the worker can take out the second article 22 requested to be delivered together with the first article 21 . Therefore, the guide device 50 can reduce the number of times the case 30 is carried out, and can reduce the work burden on the operator. In addition, the guiding device 50 can improve the throughput of the storage 40 (the amount of goods 20 entering and leaving the warehouse per unit time). In this way, the guiding device 50 can improve the work efficiency of the work of unloading the articles 20 to be unloaded from the storage shed 40 .

In either form shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the guide section 52 can provide the following guidance. For example, the guide unit 52 can collectively guide the worker with the article information 70 for each production line 10L that supplies the first article 21 and the second article 22 that can be delivered simultaneously. In the example shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, articles 20 indicated by identification information DID4 and identification information DID5 are supplied to production line L1. The article 20 indicated by the identification information DID6 is supplied to the production line L2. Therefore, the guiding section 52 can collectively guide the worker with the article information 70 regarding the article 20 indicated by the identification information DID4 and the identification information DID5. Thereby, the worker can recognize the article information 70 for each production line 10L to be supplied, and can easily recognize the supply destination of the first article 21 and the second article 22 that are simultaneously shipped.

In addition, there are cases where a worker in charge of each production line 10L is designated. In this case, it is sufficient for the worker to recognize the article information 70 of the article 20 to be transported to the production line 10L for which he/she is in charge. Therefore, the guiding unit 52 can also guide the worker with the article information 70 regarding the first article 21 and the second article 22 that can be delivered simultaneously to the production line 10L that the worker is in charge of.

In the above example, it is assumed that the worker is in charge of production line L1 and not in charge of production line L2. In this case, the guidance unit 52 can guide the worker with the article information 70 regarding the article 20 indicated by the identification information DID4 and the identification information DID5 supplied to the production line L1. As a result, the worker can recognize the article information 70 of the article 20 to be conveyed to the production line 10L that he/she is in charge of, and can mistakenly recognize the article information 70 of the article 20 to be conveyed to another production line 10L. Recognition can be suppressed.

In addition, the guide section 52 can also guide the worker with information regarding the case 30 to be unloaded from the storage 40 . Information about the case 30 includes various types of information. For example, the information about the case 30 includes identification information CID1 for identifying the case 30, information about the height (depth) of the case 30, the outer dimensions of the article 20 to be accommodated (for example, if the article 20 is a reel 20a, the reel 20a). 8 and 9, information about the case 30 is indicated by identification information CID1 that identifies the case 30. In FIG.

It should be noted that the guidance unit 52 can also sort and guide the article information 70 . For example, the guidance unit 52 can guide the item information 70 by sorting the identification information that can identify the item 20 in ascending or descending order. The guide unit 52 can also guide the item information 70 by sorting the remaining number of items stored in the item 20 in ascending or descending order. Further, the guidance unit 52 can also provide guidance on factors for leaving the warehouse. For example, shipping factors include shipping due to notifications from the management device 19 (replacement notification, goods shortage notification, setup change notice, goods shortage notice, etc.) and goods 20 specified by the operator.

The operator selects the first article 21 and the second article 22 to be taken out at the same time on the screen shown in FIG. As a result, the storage warehouse 40 carries out the case 30 containing the first article 21 and the second article 22 to be delivered simultaneously to the work space 44a, and the worker can carry out the first article 21 and the second article to be delivered simultaneously from the case 30. A second article 22 can be removed.

For example, when the worker takes out the article 20 from the case 30, the worker reads the identification code attached to the article 20 (for example, the identification code 23a of the reel 20a) using a code reader of a mobile terminal. Thereby, the guide part 52 can recognize the article 20 taken out from the case 30 by the operator. The guide unit 52 recognizes that the article 20 to be taken out from the case 30 has been taken out when the article 20 taken out from the case 30 by the worker is the article 20 to be taken out (the first article 21 and the second article 22). can do. The guide part 52 is configured to guide the article 20 taken out of the case 30 by the worker from the case 30 when the article 20 taken out of the case 30 by the worker is different from the article 20 to be taken out (the first article 21 and the second article 22). It can be recognized that

The guide section 52 can also warn the worker when the article 20 taken out from the case 30 by the worker is different from the article 20 (the first article 21 and the second article 22) to be taken out. Specifically, the guide unit 52 can display on the display device 60 that the article 20 taken out from the case 30 by the worker is different from the article 20 to be taken out, and prompt the worker to confirm. In addition, the guide unit 52 can also guide the worker by voice guidance to the effect that the article 20 taken out of the case 30 by the worker is different from the article 20 to be taken out, and prompt the worker to confirm.

In addition, when there is no delivery request for all the articles 20 stored in the case 30 and the determination unit 51 determines that the first article 21 is not to be delivered (No in step S11 shown in FIG. 6), the guide device The control by 50 ends once. Further, when only one article 20 is taken out from the case 30 and the judgment unit 51 judges that there is no delivery request for the second article 22 (No in step S12), the control by the guidance device 50 temporarily finish.
