Abstract: A management system for managing entering and dispatching of products to be managed in a warehouse. The warehouse includes racks, a transfer robot, and picking stations. The management system comprises: a product group generation module configured to generate, based on relevance among products in the picking work, product groups; an allocated-rack determination module configured to determine, for each one of the product groups, allocation of the racks; an allocated-picking station determination module configured to determine, for each one of the product groups, allocation of the picking stations; and a transfer robot controller configured to control the transfer robot. The allocated-picking station determination module determines the picking stations that is at a shortest distance from the racks that is allocated to the product group, as the picking stations that is to be allocated to the product group.

Abstract: Provided is a management system for managing storage and retrieval of items.

Abstract: An arm robot is configured to take an object out of a storage shelf and a transfer robot is configured to transfer the storage shelf together with the object to an operation range of the arm robot. A robot teaching database stores raw teaching data for the arm robot based on a storage shelf coordinates model value that is a three-dimensional coordinates model value of the storage shelf and a robot hand coordinates model value that is a three-dimensional coordinates model value of the robot hand. A robot data generation unit is configured to correct the raw teaching data based on a detection result of a sensor detecting a relative position relationship between the storage shelf and the robot hand, and generate robot teaching data to be supplied to the arm robot.

Abstract: A transport system includes: a storage container that stores therein an item before the item is subjected to an order picking operation; a sorting container that stores therein an item after the item is subjected to the order picking operation; a transport robot that holds the storage container or the sorting container and transports the storage container or the sorting container in the holding state; and a transport controller configured to transmit, to the transport robot, an instruction that the storage container or the sorting container be transported to a picking area in which an item for which an order is placed from a customer is picked from the storage container and is transferred to the sorting container, and, in determining which customer for an ordered item be allocated to which sorting container, allocate one customer to one sorting container.
