PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a system structure in an article alignment system equipped with a robot that aligns a plurality of articles having distinction between front and back to be matched in attitude and in front and back. SOLUTION: A first robot 30 lifts articles W supplied with an irregular arrangement facing up either one of a first and second surfaces S1 and S2 from an article supply part 12, and arranges the articles W by dividing the articles W in two rows of a row of articles W at a first attitude with the first surface S1 facing up and a row of articles W at a second attitude (mirror image of first attitude) with the second surface S2 facing up, in temporary placing locations 18, 22 of first and second temporary placing regions 20, 24 of the article temporary placing part 14. A second robot 32 takes the articles W at the first attitude and the articles W at the second attitude from the article temporary placing part 14, and rotates them in opposite directions of first and second directions α and β to align the articles W at the same attitude and the first surfaces S1 and the second surfaces S2 facing the same direction with each other (namely, regular arrangement).
