Publication number: 20220122032Abstract: A work instruction device includes a first interface to acquire information regarding commodities received and available for shipping to another destination, sorting information indicating a requested number of commodities for each of different commodity types by shipping destination, and carriage information of a carriage onto which commodities are to be placed for shipping. A processor is configured to set, based on the received information, a placement position on the carriage for each of the requested commodity types, placement positions for the requested commodity types being side by side on the carriage, and a stacked number for each of the requested commodity types at the respective placement positions. A second interface transmits a work instruction to a display device that indicates the set placement position on the carriage for each of the requested commodity types and the set stacked number for each of the requested commodity types.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventor: Yoshiyuki Hirahara

Patent number: 11161240Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a commodity take-out apparatus includes a camera, an arm, a holding mechanism, and a controller. The controller determines a reference position in the take-out target commodity on the basis of the image acquired by the camera, determines positions of the both side surfaces of the take-out target commodity on the basis of a size of the take-out target commodity, using the reference position as a reference. The arm and the holding mechanism are operated by the controller to thereby move the holding member of the holding mechanism on both lateral sides of the take-out target commodity on the basis of the determined positions of the both side surfaces of the take-out target commodity and cause the holding member to hold the take-out target commodity.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: TOSHIBA TEC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yoshiyuki Hirahara

Publication number: 20200356932Abstract: According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a storage device and a processor. The storage device stores stay data of shoppers who come in and go out of a store, and shift data of staff for a predetermined operation of the store. The processor outputs, on the basis of the stay data and the shift data, information including information indicating a time slot insufficient in staff members and information indicating the number of insufficient staff members when the number of staff members necessary exceeds the number of staff members registered.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2020Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventor: Yoshiyuki HIRAHARA

Patent number: 7423402Abstract: An autonomous traveling unit is advanced toward a wall such that a charging unit is located on the right side. When a distance to the wall reaches a predetermined value not smaller than a thickness of a first member of the charging unit, the autonomous traveling unit is stopped. In this state, the autonomous traveling unit is rotated by 90° to the right so as to face a plane formed by a second member of the charging unit at the right angle. Then, the autonomous traveling unit is advanced toward the second member of the charging unit, and when a distance to the plane reaches a predetermined value, the autonomous traveling unit is stopped. In this state, the autonomous traveling unit is rotated by 90° to the right such that charging terminals face power supply terminals provided on the first member of the charging unit at the right angle.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2006Date of Patent: September 9, 2008Assignee: Toshiba Tec Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masahito Sano, Yoshiyuki Hirahara, Masayuki Nakaeda, Hitoshi Iizaka, Takashi Tomiyama
