Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus of processing an abnormal status in an automated parts shelf system, in which information of the occurrence of the abnormal status and the location, the content, and the cause of such an abnormal status, as well as an appropriate countermeasure for processing the abnormal status, are displayed on a touch-panel monitor. An abnormal status is displayed on a fundamental screen, which is, upon a pressing action thereon, converted to an abnormal status screen M2, on which necessary items of instruction are displayed. An item therein is selected and entered for processing the abnormal status.

Abstract: The disclosed is a method comprising the steps of displaying entirely a plurality of storehouse facilities in the form of a plan view; informing a storage abnormality when the actual storage location and stock condition are different from that displayed in parallel with displaying the stock condition at each instant; and correcting the stock condition at the time the storage abnormality is informed. Shelves are distinguished using displayed figures in accordance with shelves in which already stored, shelves still remaining empty, and shelves for which storage is prevented; and the stock condition of the storehouse facilities is displayed by specifying any of the facility on the displayed surface.

Abstract: A method of storage control of component works in an automated storehouse, including a plurality of shelf equipment for storage/delivery of component works conveyed by a plurality of transporters, and an apparatus therefor are provided. The control method comprising the steps in that the shelf-array equipment storage status is confirmed in step S11, a shelf-array containing an empty shelf is extracted in S12, the specification information is entered in S13, and the stored work having the same specification information as that to be stored is retrieved, and a shelf containing the minimum number of works is decided as the target location (in S14 to 17).
