在庫管理システムに関する。Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is applicable to, for example, mechanical parts, molded parts, pressed parts, electronic equipment parts, construction metal fittings, or mechanical element parts such as bolts, nuts, and nails. A wide variety of items, which come in large numbers and come in and out frequently (dynamic assets), are stored and stored individually for each type (in bulk or in cases) in a storage warehouse, and the receiving and retrieval of various items is carried out. The present invention relates to an inventory management system for a wide variety of goods that enables accurate, rational, and labor-saving management of shipping, inventory management, production management, asset management, etc. based thereon.

項である。(Prior art) Accurately grasping (or managing) the inventory status of a wide variety of items is a method used not only by sellers of these items but also by purchasing and storing a large number of items at once, and then selecting necessary items (parts) at will. For manufacturers who assemble and manufacture machines and equipment, this is an important matter from the standpoint of asset management and maintaining the productivity of manufactured products.

。In order to carry out such accurate inventory management, it is necessary to set and manage the storage location of each item in the storage warehouse in advance, to count and manage the status of items in and out of each storage location, and to control the quantity. It is necessary to have a system that can comprehensively check the inventory status of the warehouse as a whole, including not only the price but also the inventory timing.

They were not linked to each other.

理にも多大な人力および手数を要する欠点があった。(Problem to be solved by the invention) Therefore, the work of loading and unloading each article is left to the visual verification of the code and address by two humans (MAN), and the work efficiency is poor. There is also a high possibility of errors in loading and unloading due to errors.Although counting of loading and unloading can be done automatically and efficiently using electronic scales, etc., there is no need to read (confirm) the results or use a ledger to save the counting data. etc., which is a manual operation, which has the disadvantage of requiring a large amount of human power and effort for counting and management.

的な問題である。In addition, there is no inventory control using electronic scales, etc. at the time of stocking and retrieval, and no alarm is issued for this, so the inventory on the ledger is reduced by stocking and retrieving without counting. There was a problem in that a large error occurred between the amount and the actual inventory amount. These problems arise even when the product name, quantity, and
Even if price management is computer-processed, this problem is inevitable.

ある。In Fig. 1, (2) is a plurality of compartments (1) that are partitioned into multiple rows and stages and can individually store and store various items.
The front of each compartment (1) of this storage (2) is lit up in response to the input of a preset code corresponding to the type of article to indicate the corresponding compartment. An address display unit (3) such as a light emitting diode (LED) is installed to indicate the room (1)..., and a light is installed at the entrance/exit of each compartment (1) to detect entry/exit. A transmissive or light reflective photoelectric sensor (4) is attached, and the settings after the sensor (,4) detects entry/exit are installed in the vicinity of each address display section (3). An alarm device (5) that automatically flickers or sounds if the counting operation is not performed within the time is attached as an integrated unit with the address display section (3). A control box (9) that controls control operations for each of the above-mentioned elements (3, 4, 5), etc. is fixedly arranged at the lower end of 2), and the above-mentioned combination constitutes a storage management unit. (6) is a sensor such as an electronic scale that counts the entry and exit of articles into and out of each compartment (1) of the storage warehouse (2), and the weight at the time of measurement is stored in advance for each type of article. Generally, the configuration is such that data converted to the number of pieces is output by dividing by the weight, but when counting the same item several times, it is possible to simultaneously calculate the cumulative number and weight. It may also be configured such that it can be used selectively for such functions as necessary. (7) is a pocket computer function that inputs and outputs various data and counting data from the storage management unit and performs banking, statistical calculation processing such as four arithmetic calculations, and editing processing; A (8) is a handy type controller equipped with a terminal function etc. for interconnecting the storage management unit, and is serially connected to the control box (9) of the storage management unit and the counting sensor (6). a host computer capable of intercommunicating with a controller (7), by transmitting banked data to said controller (7);
It creates a list of inventory quantity, price, date and time, cost, etc.

た状態で前記計数センサー（６）にて計数するが、この
とき、ボックスの重量（風袋」１をコントローラ（７）
に予め入力しておけば、自動的に個数を計数することが
可能である。If a very small amount of control items is required, they are counted using the counting sensor (6) while stored in the box. At this time, the weight (tare) 1 of the box is counted by the controller (7).
If the number is entered in advance, the number can be automatically counted.
また、大物物品でバッキングケースに収納した物品の場
合も上述と同様な手段で個数を計数する。Furthermore, in the case of large items stored in a backing case, the number of items is counted using the same method as described above.
更に、保管庫（２）及び計数センサー（６）は既製品を
活用する事によってシステム全体を出来るだけ安価に構
成できる利点がある。Furthermore, by using ready-made products for the storage (2) and the counting sensor (6), there is an advantage that the entire system can be constructed at the lowest possible cost.
