  • Publication number: 20240013143
    Abstract: A storage position determination system performs input processing, calculation processing, and determination processing. The input processing receives, for each of multiple articles to be stored in a predetermined area, article information indicating an article, storage position information indicating the storage position of the article, carrying in/out information chronologically indicating the number of carrying in/out pieces of the article, and moving route information indicating moving routes used for work for carried articles that are one or more articles indicated by the carrying in/out information and are carried in or out at the same time. The calculation processing calculates candidates for a new position of a storage position for at least one of the articles such that a first condition that the moving distance indicated by the moving route information is not increased is satisfied.
