<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve efficiency of carry-in and carry-out operation in a material storage location. <P>SOLUTION: An optimal location is provided to minimize work volume in carry-out operation when carrying material control objects into the material storage location to improve working efficiency in the material stockroom. As means to achieve it, location information of the material control objects stocked in the material storage location and vacant areas where the material control objects to be carried in can be stocked, are computed by using location information of the material control objects in the material storage location and material dimensions and shape information represented by three-dimensional CAD used in design, and an area to minimize work volume when carrying out is selected and determined out of the vacant areas. Carry-out work efficiency can thereby be improved. Further, means to automatically obtain location information of the stocked material control objects are provided. Location information of the stocked material control objects can thereby be grasped at a spot away from the material storage location, and the traveling time of operators to the material storage location can be reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
