In addition, symbols (6) to 0ω are installed on the side of a cargo handling vehicle such as a forklift, where (6) is a communication modem, (7) is a map information section, (8) is a control section (operation will be described later), and ( 9) is an input section such as a keyboard, Go) is a liquid crystal display, C
This is a display section for RT, etc. Next, the map information section (7) will be explained with reference to FIG. This map information section (7) is an overall map (map 0) representing the entire work area of the cargo handling vehicle.
, a group of enlarged maps of this one section (map kl~9), and a group of detailed maps of this one section (map N1)ll~1921~
29. . . 91 to 99), and is stored in association with the location number of the part.

For example, the position is within section 8 of the overall map, within section 9 of the enlarged view of section 8 in parentheses (map 89), and further in section 6 of the detailed map of section 9 (map 89). corresponds to location 896.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the parts information section (2) stores the part name, location number (storage location), quantity, etc. corresponding to the part number. Also location information department O
As shown in FIG. 8, f) stores information such as the presence or absence of inventory at a location and the parts designated for storage at each location.

Next, the operational flow including the control unit (3) and f8) during cargo handling work will be explained separately for warehousing and warehousing.

FIG. 4 shows the operational flow during warehousing work.

Here, the warehousing work instruction includes the part number and quantity to be stocked, for example, part number: 91433-20000.
, Part name: FIIONT AXLE, number! =20,
This refers to instructions such as delivery address: 146.

First, when a warehousing work instruction is input from the input section (4) in FIG. 1, all parts are checked, and if a location where the part is a designated part comes, it is determined that the delivery has failed. If the part is not specified, check the quantity.

A search is made for a location that satisfies the free capacity (capacity minus inventory in FIG. 8), and delivery failures are determined according to the priority order.

The control section (3) temporarily stores the input work instruction and destination location number internally, and then transmits the work instruction and destination location number from the modem (5) to the cargo handling vehicle. Note that the capacity, designated parts, and priority in the location information section 01) are input in advance from the input section (4).

When the modem (6) on the cargo handling vehicle side receives this work instruction and the destination location number, the control unit (8) based on the destination location number (for example, NCL146),
Corresponding map information (eg map Nα0.l.

14) is extracted from the map information section (7).

Thereafter, the control unit (8) retains the received work instruction destination location number and the extracted map information, and outputs the information to the display unit OI for display (details will be described later). If the worker has performed the work according to the received instructions, the worker inputs the warehousing end key (work end information) in the input section (9), and if the worker has performed a different work, the worker enters the warehousing end key (work end information) in the input section (9). Enter actual work information (parts availability, quantity, delivery address, etc.) in the input section (
After inputting from 9), input the warehousing end key. Control unit (
8) causes the modem (6) to transmit the input information as work information to the central management side when the warehousing end key is input.

When the central management side modem (5) receives this information, the control unit (3) confirms the completion of the work based on the work completion information, and also determines whether actual work content information is included and determines whether it is likely to be included. In this case, the work instructions and destination location number stored at - time are read out, and the information in the parts information section (2) and location information section 00 is updated based on these. Furthermore, if actual work content information is included, the information in the parts information section (2) and location information section 00 is updated based on this information. Therefore, the parts information department (
2) and the location information section stores the latest information regarding parts storage locations, quantities, etc.

Next, the display method on the display section 0ω by the control section (8) will be explained based on FIG. 5.

First, the control unit (8) displays the received instruction and the overall map (map seed 0) in the extracted map information (FIG. 6(a)) - When the overall map is displayed, , the control unit (8) reads the third digit number of the destination location number (for example, N1) 46), and lights up the number section (the number inside) in the overall view. Then, when the operator inputs this number from the input section (9), an enlarged map (map N1)) is displayed (see Fig. 6 (
b)) When the enlarged view is displayed, the control unit (8) reads the second digit number (e.g. 4) of the location number (e.g. k146) and inputs the number in the number category 1 in the enlarged view. Turn it on. Then, the operator selects “
14", a detailed map (map Nct14) is displayed (FIG. 6(c)).

When the detailed view is displayed, the control unit (8) reads the first digit number (for example, 6) of the location number (for example, 1) (h146), and reads the number division (the number inside) in the detailed view. It can be turned on to accurately show the worker where the final delivery destination is, and it can also be used to directly change from the general drawing to the detailed drawing.
Or, if you want to move from a detailed view to an enlarged view,
All you have to do is select the relevant map number and input it from the input section (9).

Next, the operational flow during the unloading work will be explained based on FIG. 7.

First, when a shipping work instruction (in the same format as a warehousing work instruction) is input from the input unit (4), the control unit (3) recognizes that it is a shipping command, and first the input part number is Find out where the part is currently stored, search for the storage location location number from the parts information department (2), check the desired 0 part floor, and if there is a location where the part is a designated part, send it to the pioneer. do. If the part is not the specified part, the quantity is checked, a location that satisfies the free space I (container - stock in Figure 8) is searched, and the first delivery is determined according to the priority order.

Next, the control unit (3) temporarily stores the input work instruction and destination location number internally, and then transfers the work instruction, extracted storage location number, and destination location number from the modem (5) to the cargo handling vehicle. send it to the other side.

When the modem (6) on the cargo handling vehicle side receives this information, the receiving unit (8) transmits the corresponding map information to the map information unit (7) based on the received storage location and destination location number.
Extract from. Thereafter, the control unit (8) holds the received work instruction, storage location number, delivery destination location number, and extracted map information, and outputs them to the display unit (QO) for display.

Regarding map information, the storage location is displayed first. This is done by assigning a priority code to the storage location number.

By selecting the displayed map information mentioned above, the worker reaches the storage location and presses the delivery start key (delivery destination map information display command).
When inputted from the input unit (9), the control unit (8) displays map information of the delivery destination and guides the worker to the delivery destination accurately as described above.

The operational flow of the work completion information is the same as that of the warehousing work, so the explanation will be omitted. In addition, in this case, the warehousing end key means work end information like the warehousing end key.

Next, the screen display section (1) on the central management side will be explained. This screen display section (1) is used as an input section (4) when entering and leaving the warehouse.
