Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent displacement of a product caused by rearrangement without managing a number of times of rearrangement by memorizing product storing positions at high, middle, and low racks and the height of the products, and performing rearrangement of the low products stored in the high rack only when vacant racks are generated in the low racks. CONSTITUTION:The racks where high products, middle products, and low products are stored respectively are memorized by a computer, and when the middle product stored in the high rack is found, the vacant rack is searched in the middle racks (b). If the vacant rack is not found after finding the low product stored in the high rack (a) or middle rack (b), the vacant rack in the high racks (a) is searched. When the high rack where the middle product is stored is found, the vacant rack in the middle racks (b) is searched. When the low product stored in the high rack or middle rack is found, the vacant rack in the low racks (c) is searched. In case low product is in the high rack (a), for example, rearrangement is not performed if the middle racks (b) have the vacant rack, but rearrangement is performed only when the low racks (c) have the vacant rack.

[Prior Art] Conventional multi-level warehouses that store products of different heights have shelves of different heights and store them according to their heights. I am looking for a higher shelf to store it. If a shelf with a lower height than the one on which it was temporarily stored becomes empty, this technique involves rearranging the items several times until the items are stored on a shelf with the corresponding height.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention divides the height of products to be stocked into at least three categories, large, medium and small, and when receiving products, stores them on shelves divided into at least large, medium and small heights. The storage position of the product and the height of the stored product are stored in association with each other, and when rearranging after receiving the product, the rearrangement of the product of small height stored on the shelf of large height is performed using the height of the product of small height. It is characterized by what to do when an empty shelf occurs on the shelf.

Products are stored in the storage shelves determined according to the flowchart in FIG. This high product, medium product,
The computer 5 shown in FIG. 4 memorizes which shelves the low-quality products are stored on. Therefore, if a shelf storing medium products is found on high shelf a, the process proceeds to step 5. High shelf a
, if you search for a shelf where low-quality products are stored on middle shelf b,
Proceed to step 10. (Step S51) Step S
If you search for a shelf where medium products are stored on a high shelf in step 51,
Search for an empty shelf on the middle shelf b shown in FIG. (Step S
55) When the high shelf and the middle shelf are searched for in step S51, an empty shelf of the low shelf c shown in FIG. 2 is searched. (Step S60) Steps S55, S60
The empty shelf found in is determined as the replacement shelf. (Step S6
5) In this way, the rearrangement of medium and low products stored on shelves a and b, which are higher than their own products, is as follows:
Rearrangement is performed only if there is a shelf where the product should be stored. For example, if a low-quality product is currently stored on high shelf a, it will not be rearranged even if there is an empty shelf on middle shelf b, but it will be rearranged only if there is an empty shelf on low shelf c. It is something.
