Abstract

See full text

A control system performs a shipping process, a replenishing process, a moving process, and a returning process. The replenishing process is for, in a case in which the number of first-type articles located in a first warehouse has become less than or equal to a quantitative threshold, transporting the first-type articles located in a second warehouse to the first warehouse, thereby stocking the articles into the first warehouse while the articles are in containers. The moving process is for transporting second-type articles that have become the picking target articles and are located in the second warehouse to the first warehouse, thereby stocking the articles into the first warehouse while the articles are in the containers. The returning process is for transporting the containers accommodating the second-type articles that have been returned to the first warehouse upon completion of the shipping process, from the first warehouse to the second warehouse.
