Abstract: A simulation device (800) comprises: a simulation unit (803) which performs simulation of the movements of a plurality of moving bodies on a path; a storage unit (802) which retains an estimated decrement that is an indicator of change over time in the congestion level of the plurality of moving bodies on the path; a first calculation unit (805) which calculates, on the basis of the simulation results, the congestion level of the plurality of moving bodies on the path; and a second calculation unit (806) which calculates the indicator of change over time in the congestion level that was calculated by the first calculation unit. A suitable decrement can be set such that the estimated decrement in congestion level, that is used as a simulation input, and the decrement in the congestion level in the simulation results are equal.

Abstract: Provided is a picking assistance system that can improve work efficiency. A picking assistance system includes: a plurality of movable shelves configured to be able to accommodate at least one article; and a control device configured to control the movement of each of the shelves. The control device causes a series of processes of moving a sorting shelf selected from the shelves to a work station selected from a plurality of work station and moving articles from a deposit shelf disposed at the selected work station to the sorting shelf by a picking operation to be executed repeatedly while changing the work station until the sorting shelf accommodates prescribed articles.

Abstract: An article conveyance system includes: a processor; and a storage device accessed by the processor, in which the processor calculates a conveyance time until a conveyance device conveys a shelf being a target for work of taking out or storing an article to a work place where the work on the shelf is performed and a work time until work scheduled to be performed at the work place is ended; and the processor determines whether or not to add an instruction to cause the conveyance device to convey the shelf to the work place based on a difference between the conveyance time and the work time.

Abstract: A warehouse management system includes a controller provided with a storage unit which stores order information that associates items, numbers, and delivery destinations of articles, a warehousing priority calculation unit that determines warehousing priorities of a plurality of items of articles based on the items and quantities of the articles to be delivered to respective delivery destinations, as specified from the order information, and a warehousing instruction unit that outputs an instruction to store the articles based on the warehousing priorities.

Abstract: An article carrier system has a plurality of storage shelves and an order management unit. In the storage shelves, articles are stored. The order management unit manages a plurality of orders for shipping orders, holds receptacle information including at least information regarding a quantity of articles stored in each receptacle of each of the storage shelves, determines to provide different conditions for orders for performing picking at different workplaces, as conditions for correlating between each order and the receptacle for performing the picking in accordance with each order, and determines a storage shelf to be carried to the workplace for performing the picking in association with each order, based on the determined conditions and receptacle information.
