Abstract: A picking system enables a user to easily know when an article that has been placed is different from an article originally scheduled to be placed in a particular position. The picking system includes a picking robot, an ID reader, an encoder, a comparing unit, and a terminal screen. The picking robot picks a workpiece from a first predetermined position and places the article in a second predetermined position. The ID reader acquires identification information of the workpiece picked by the picking robot. The comparing unit compares the identification information acquired by the ID reader with identification information of a workpiece scheduled to be picked. The terminal screen indicates, based on a result of the comparison executed by the comparing unit, a placement position of a workpiece whose identification information does not match the identification information of the workpiece scheduled to be picked.

Abstract: Stations (8,9) of an automatic warehouse (2) are provided with transfer devices (10) for transferring an article one by one between a tray and a bucket, and hands (11, 12) of the transfer devices are provided with an ID tag reader and writer. The ID of the article stored in the bucket can be grasped and delivering products can be inspected, and further, data corresponding to each article can be written in the ID tag.

Abstract: The article IDs of a mixture mounting pallet being shipped are read out collectively by means of an ID reader and collated with the ID list on a shipment table. IDs and their positions are stored on the shipment table and the positions of IDs not read out by means of the ID reader are displayed on a handy ID reader and confirmed by a worker using the ID reader.

Abstract: A storing apparatus (4) is provided with RFID readers (10, 11), and an ID of an article on a shelf (6) is read. Reading is performed when the shelf (6) is opened and at the time of closing it, and the ID of the article taken out and the ID of the article set are detected from a change made during the period. The ID of the article taken out or set is recorded as history information, and when the ID of the article is inappropriate, a monitor (28) gives warning.

Abstract: When an article is taken out from an automatic warehouse (6), value information is written in an unmodifiable manner into an ID tag fitted to the article. When the value information is needed to know, the value information is read from the ID tag (30) of the article (28) by an ID reader (24). The amount of refund when an article is returned and the amount of compensation when an article is broken can be objectively known.

Abstract: An optical ID having a pair of light emitting sections (21, 22) is provided on a head set (18) which is mounted on the head of an operator, and ID data is transmitted by a light emitting signal. A high-speed camera is provided on a ceiling of a pathway, the ID data and the position of the operator are identified by the light emitting signal, and the direction of the operator is obtained by the direction of the pair of light emitting sections.

Abstract: A monitor camera (18) is arranged for monitoring an ID unit (42 of a medical staff. The ID of a staff who is opening a storage cabinet (12) is identified and authenticated by a management device (22). When the authentication is successful, a shelf (28) of the storage cabinet (12) is unlocked. An RFID reader (34) is arranged on the storage cabinet (12) so as to read an RF ID of an article in the shelf (28) when the shelf (28) is opened and closed and identify an article placed or removed according to the difference between the ID lists when the shelf is opened and closed. When a medical staff takes a medical product or medical instrument out of the storage cabinet, it is possible to automatically record who took out which medical product. Moreover, it is possible to prevent taking out of a medical product by an unauthorized person.

Abstract: At the time of warehousing of an article, an ID tag attached to the article is read and memorized in a CPU in a manner associated with a bucket, and data and shelf address of the article are written in an ID tag of the bucket. A stacker crane reads the ID tag of the bucket and stores the bucket into the written shelf address. Management and transportation of articles stored in the warehouse can be facilitated.

Abstract: An ID tag of an article is read at the time of storing the article in a warehouse. An ID and a rack address of the article are written in an ID tag of a bucket. A stacker crane stores the bucket 24 at the rack address written in the ID tag of the bucket.

Abstract: ID readers 22 are provided on both left and right sides of a hoisting frame of a stacker crane in an automated warehouse for reading an ID tag 44 of a container 40. ID readers 24 are provided above the hoisting frame 24 for reading ID tags 48 of individual goods 46 on the container 40. When the container 40 is pulled onto the hoisting frame 8 by a slide fork 10, the ID tags 48 of the individual goods 46 are read. It is possible to read an ID of the container and IDs of the individual goods simply and reliably, and an inventory check or the like can be performed on the hoisting frame.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus has a mechanism for setting a desired magnification of a reproduced image, a display for displaying the selected magnification, an optical system for forming an image on a transfer medium, and a control unit. The control unit controls the optical system so as to form the desired magnified image even when the setting of a desired magnification changes. The control unit can also include a first timer for effecting a timing operation based on a predetermined time irrespective of input magnification and a second timer for effecting a timing operation based on the input magnification with a predetermined time relation to the first timer.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of incorporating a DF, an ADF or an RDF includes a digitizer for designating at least one area of an original, an image forming unit for forming an original image of the designated area on a transfer sheet, and a control section for adding a specific image to the designated area. The control section also allows a multi-copy or a two-sided copy operation for a plurality of designated areas with different colors. The apparatus also includes a memory, the area designation data of which is retained whether reset by a reset key or upon a power ON operation. In this case, only the designated areas are reset. The apparatus further includes a middle tray and a second sheet feeder, which are selectively used according to the types of sheets.
