The inspection screen for inspection by the inspection operator b is displayed only for the order information with the inspection mark (inspection data required) on the data (see FIG. 6). In addition, for example, one inspection worker b is arranged for each container transport unit 13.

  The control means 42 has a function of an inspection object setting unit 42a for setting the order information as an inspection object by marking the order information to be inspected. That is, the inspection object setting unit 42a registers the inspection required flag on / off based on operations of inspection buttons 53 and 61, which will be described later.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the picking facility 1 is provided for each zone Z, that is, for each picking worker a, and is operated by a corresponding picking worker a. Display means 51 is provided. One operation display means 51 is provided for each set of input means 31, and a plurality of, for example, three input means 31 are provided on the left and right sides of one operation display means 51.

  The operation display means 51 includes an out-of-stock confirmation button (red) 52 as an out-of-stock confirmation operation means, an inspection button (blue) 53 as an inspection object setting operation means, and a re-display button (yellow) as an operation means for re-display. ) 54.

  The shortage confirmation button 52 is operated for a long time when there is no article W to be picked, and the article W is handled as a shortage. When the shortage confirmation button 52 is pressed and held, the button is turned on, and when the hand is released, the button is turned off.

  The inspection button 53 is used by the picking operator a after the article W is placed on the transport surface 10 of the article transport section 12 (or after the article W is placed on the transport surface 34 of the loading means 31). When a picking mistake (mistake of the article W) is noticed and when there is a possibility of a picking mistake, it is pushed by the picking operator a.

  When the inspection button 53 is operated, the inspection object setting unit 42a of the control unit 42 is carrying the article W picked up by the picking operator a before the inspection button 53 is operated. Of the order information corresponding to the articles W of the order unit, a predetermined number of items (for example, n = 6 to 12) of order information is marked with a mark requiring inspection.

  The re-display button 54 is used when the picking operator a notices a picking mistake and thinks that there is a possibility of a picking mistake before the article W is put on the conveyance surface 10 of the article conveyance unit 12. It is pushed by the picking operator a.

  When the re-display button 54 is operated, the transport means 11 is stopped and the picking instruction (lighting of the storage-side lamp 5 and lighting of the loading-side lamp 36) one before the operation time is displayed again. The Note that the button itself lights up during redisplay.

  The operation display means 51 includes a first zone display lamp (green) 56, a second zone display lamp (white) 57, a third zone display lamp (green) 58, and a no-pick display lamp (green) 59. Yes.

  The zone display lamps 56, 57, and 58 divide the approximate position of the lit storage side lamp 5, that is, the zone Z into a plurality of blocks, and select the block corresponding to the lit storage side lamp 5 to the picking worker a. It is to inform. When the picking work is completed (including a break stop), the work completion is notified by the blinking of the zone display lamps 56, 57, and 58. Consists of three lights, corresponding to [R], [C], and [L] (right, middle, and left) when operating in mode 2, and [R], [off], and [L] when operating in mode 1. The second zone display lamp 57 in the center is always turned off. In mode 3 operation, [R] or [L] corresponds to 2 blocks.

  The no-pick display lamp 59 notifies the picking operator a in two stages that there is a time vacancy exceeding a certain number of orders until the next picking instruction. In the case of lighting, there is sufficient time, and a picking instruction is output immediately after blinking, and is turned off when a picking instruction is output. This “fixed order number” is set in advance by a control computer or the like. The picking operator a can sort out the broken materials by using this idle time.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the picking facility 1 has a picking worker a, that is, a picking worker who takes charge of, for example, the zone 1A when an abnormality occurs in the article conveying unit 12 which is a center conveyor of the conveying means 11. An abnormal condition inspection button 61, which is an abnormal operation means operated by a, is provided. The inspection button 61 when the conveyor is abnormal is disposed, for example, in the vicinity of the conveyance end portion of the article conveyance unit 12.

  When the conveyor abnormal inspection button 61 is operated, the inspection target setting unit 42a of the control means 42 is in the process of being transported positioned on the transport surface 10 of the article transport unit 12 when the inspection button 61 is operated. A mark requiring inspection is attached to the order information corresponding to the article W in the order unit.

  Next, the operation of the picking facility 1 will be described.

  First, in the case where, for example, there is a person who is unfamiliar with the picking work among the plurality of picking workers a, before starting the work, the articles W in the order unit including the article W picked by the unfamiliar picking worker a. The inspection zone is designated so that the corresponding order information is set as the inspection target.

  That is, for example, an inspection designation screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit of the control means 42, and a zone Z handled by an unfamiliar picking worker a is selected and registered using a mouse or the like. For example, when the zone Z (8A) is registered, the inspection object setting unit 42a of the control means 42 includes an order including article data corresponding to the article W picked by the picking operator a who is in charge of the zone Z (8A). Mark the information as requiring inspection.

  Next, picking work will be described.

  Order information (order unit area) is allocated to the transport surface 10 of the article transport unit 12 moving in the transport direction for each pitch automatically calculated according to the number of points per order. In addition, each order information is shown in FIG. 8, and includes order number, product name, quantity, ON / OFF of inspection flag, etc., and is controlled according to the order contents from the customer orderer. It is stored in the storage unit of the means 42.

  In each zone Z, picking instructions are output in the order of the assigned order information. That is, for the picking operator a, the storage side lamp 5 is turned on to instruct the picking destination article storage unit 3, and the input side lamp 36 is turned on to instruct the article placement destination input means 31. At this time, the zone display lamps 56, 57, 58 indicate the approximate shelf position of the storage side lamp 5 that is lit.

  When the picking operator a visually confirms that the storage-side lamp 5 is lit, the picking worker a picks only one item W from the corresponding item storage unit 3, and the input-side lamp 36 lights up the picked item W. It is placed on the conveying surface 34 of the loading means 31 that is being operated.

  When the placement detection means detects that the article W is placed on the transport surface 34 of the loading means 31, the storage side lamp 5 and the loading side lamp 36 are turned off, and then the next picking instruction is output. The picking worker a repeats such picking work every time a picking instruction is output.

  In order to prevent picking mistakes, the storage side lamp 5 at the front of each zone Z and the input side lamp 36 of the input means 31 have an even number of zones Z (2A, 4A, 6A, 8A, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B ), For example, is lit in blue, and in odd zones Z (1A, 3A, 5A, 7A, 1B, 3B, 5B, 7B), for example, it is lit in red.

  The article W placed on the transport surface 34 of the loading means 31 is automatically put on the order unit area when the corresponding order unit area reaches the opposing position after temporarily waiting on the loading means 31. The

  Then, the article W automatically put in this way becomes an article W in the order unit corresponding to the order information on the order unit area of the conveyance surface 34 of the article conveyance unit 12, and the article W in the order unit is an article. After being sorted by the sorting unit 14, it is unloaded from the transfer terminal end of the article transfer unit 12 and is loaded and accommodated in the container C on the container transfer unit 13.

  With respect to the article W in the order unit set as the inspection target, that is, the order information with the inspection required mark, the inspection work by each inspection worker b in the plurality of inspection areas is performed during the transportation by the container transportation unit 13. Done.

  Here, the order information that is marked as inspected with the mark requiring inspection, that is, the order information with the inspection required flag (inspection instruction flag) turned on, is not used by the inexperienced picking worker a, but also operates the inspection button 53. And by operating the inspection button 61 when the conveyor is abnormal.

  The inspection button 53 is operated, for example, when the picking operator a notices a picking error after the article W is put on the article transporting unit 12, and in this case, n (set number) before the operation time point. The inspection required flag is turned on only for the order information in the range before the order of). The value of n is preset by the control means 42.

  Note that a setting number setting operation means for setting the setting number n may be provided in the vicinity of the inspection button 53 so that the picking operator a can change the setting number n on the spot.

  The inspection button 61 when the conveyor is abnormal is operated, for example, when the article W is clogged in the article sorting section 14 and the article transport section 12 is abnormally stopped. In this case, the transport surface 10 of the article transport section 12 is operated at that time. The inspection required flag is turned on only for the order information in the range located above.

  The inspection work will be described along the flowchart of FIG.

  When the container C in which the article W in the order unit is contained in the bag F arrives at the inspection position (step 1), the control means 42 determines whether or not the inspection required flag of the corresponding order information is on. (Step 2).

  If the inspection required flag is on, the control means 42 controls the roller conveyor 43 to stop the container C at the inspection position (step 3).

  Subsequently, the control means 42 controls the inspection display means 41 to display an inspection screen on the touch panel display unit 46 (step 4).

  Here, FIG. 6 is an example of an inspection screen displayed on the touch panel display unit 46.

  This inspection screen displays an order number display section 71 for displaying the order number (order information number), a customer display section 72 for displaying the name of the orderer, and a list of planned products (JAN code, product name, quantity, message). It has a list display section 73 and a total score display section 74 for displaying the number of product types. Each row of the scheduled product list is a button unit 75 that can be touch-operated. When the inspection operation is performed and the article data matches the item data of the order information, the touch operation is performed and the display state is different from that not detected.

  The inspection screen includes an inspection end button 76 that is operated when inspection work is completed, a previous page button 77 for setting the screen to the previous page, and a next page button 78 for setting the screen to the next page. Have.

  Then, the inspection worker b performs the inspection work while looking at the inspection screen displayed on the touch panel display unit 46 of the inspection display means 41 (step 5). That is, it is inspected whether or not the article W in the order unit in the container C stopped at the inspection position matches the article data of the corresponding order information, and it is confirmed whether or not there is a picking mistake (step 6).

If there is a picking mistake, the inspection worker b matches the article W, which is an actual product, with the article data (step 7).
That is, if there is an extra article W, the extra article W is taken out from the container C. If the article W is insufficient, the insufficient article W is put into the container C.

  For example, an inspection error button is provided to mark the order information in the data with inspection NG, or a paper form describing the contents of the picking mistake is placed in the container C and processed in the downstream process. May be.

  If there is no picking mistake in step 6 and if the actual product is matched with the article data in step 7, the inspection operator b presses the inspection end button 76 on the inspection screen (step 8).

  When the inspection end button 76 is pushed, the roller conveyor 43 is activated, and the container C starts from the inspection position (step 9).

  Thereafter, the articles W in the unit of order in the container C are exchanged from the container C to a shipping container (not shown) downstream in the transport direction of the container transport unit 13 and are shipped (step 10).

  According to such a picking facility 1, the inspection display means 41 arranged in the inspection area is automatically operated only with respect to the order information with the inspection required mark based on the control by the control means 42. Since the inspection screen is displayed, the inspection worker b does not need to perform inspection work on all of the order information, and only needs to perform inspection work on the order information with the mark requiring inspection. The work efficiency of the work can be improved, and therefore the workability of the entire equipment can be improved.

  In addition, for example, even when the picking operator a notices a picking mistake after the article W is put on the article transporting unit 12, it is not necessary to inspect all of the order information. Since the target order range can be specified, the burden on the inspection worker b can be reduced, and the work efficiency of the inspection work can be improved.

  Furthermore, even if there is a specific picking operator a who is unfamiliar and highly likely to make a picking error, it is not necessary to inspect all of the order information, and the order range to be inspected can be specified. Therefore, it is possible to improve the work efficiency of the inspection work.

  Further, for example, even if some abnormality occurs in the article transport unit 12 of the transport means 11, it is not necessary to perform inspection work for all of the order information, and the order range to be inspected can be specified. The work efficiency of inspection work can be improved.

  Furthermore, since inspection work can be performed without stopping the article conveying unit 12 that is a center conveyor, it is possible to prevent a reduction in work efficiency of the picking work and improve workability of the entire equipment.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when there is no problem in the downstream process even if the order of the containers C is changed, the container transport unit 13 of the transport means 11 is set as the inspection target by the inspection target setting unit 42a. Alternatively, the inspection branching conveyance unit 81 may be configured to convey only the articles W in the order unit corresponding to the ordered information.

  That is, the container transport unit 13 of the transport means 11 shown in FIG. 10 stops the container C that stores the articles W in the order unit corresponding to the order information that does not have the inspection mark, that is, the container C that does not require inspection. A main transport unit 82 that transports without inspection, and a branching transport unit 81 for inspection having a U-shape in plan view that transports only a container C that requires inspection by connecting a transport start end and a transport end to an intermediate position of the main transport unit 82; have. Then, the container C that needs inspection is automatically stopped at the inspection position on the inspection branch conveyance unit 81. Subsequently, the touch panel display unit 46 of the inspection display means 41 displays the inspection screen, and the inspection operator b Perform inspection work while looking at the inspection screen.

  With the configuration of FIG. 10, the inspection unit-free articles W that are not set as inspection targets can be transported to the shipping processing step downstream in the transport direction without stopping, so the workability of the entire facility is improved. It can be improved.

  The picking equipment 1 is not limited to the configuration provided with the loading means 31 for automatically loading the articles W. For example, a collection box (container C) in which the articles W picked by the picking operator a are transported by the transport means 11 is used. The picking operator a may carry the handy terminal and directly pick up the picked article W while looking at the display unit.

  Furthermore, for example, a configuration in which a conveyor abnormality inspection button 61 as an abnormality operation means is provided for each picking operator a may be employed.

  Further, for example, inspection object setting release operation means may be provided so that the setting can be canceled after the inspection object is set.
