Abstract

PURPOSE:To upgrade the efficiency of a physical distribution system by making a fewer carrying request data by unifying plural carrying request data on the same goods. CONSTITUTION:In plural individual controllers for controlling a carrying truck 5 and a stacker crane 8, an operation is carried out by selecting a carrying request data form a common data area in a central controller based on the state of a carrying device and the content of the carrying request data. When the central controller receives a store instruction for storing an article W placed at a cargo receiving station 4 in an automatic warehouse 6 and a delivery indication for deliverying the same goods W from the automatic warehouse 6 to a shipment station 11, four carrying request data such as the cargo receiving station 4-the storing station 7-the shelf with continuous number 9 of shelf-the delivery station 10-the shipment station 11 are unified so as to make one carrying request data like the cargo receiving station-the cargo shipment station 11. Thereby, a carrying work time can be shortened and the load of the carrying device can be reduced and other works can be carried out.
