Abstract

[Challenge] To achieve and maintain maximum capacity in a warehouse. [Solution] The warehouse operations execution device comprises a variable information acquisition unit, a hint creation unit, and a hint output unit. The variable information acquisition unit acquires variable information including at least one of the following: work body information that identifies the location, productivity, and work suitability of a work body in real time; spatial information that identifies the utilization status of space, including aisles in the warehouse, in real time; cargo information that identifies the movement status of cargo within the warehouse in real time; work progress information that identifies the comparison between planned and actual values of work in real time; know-how information that shows know-how related to warehouse operations; and inquiry information that identifies inquiries from work bodies in real time. The hint creation unit creates behavior change hints for work bodies based on pre-set variable information usage rules and variable information. The hint output unit outputs behavior change hints.

Generally, in logistics warehouses (hereinafter simply referred to as "warehouses"), workers perform various tasks (unloading, receiving inspection, storage, picking, sorting/inspection/packaging, shipping inspection, loading, etc.) at their own discretion, following a predetermined, general work schedule. Therefore, fluctuations in the volume of goods (receiving and shipping volumes) often result in unnecessary waiting times and losses (waste) in equipment and space utilization. Conventionally, various technologies have been proposed to improve the efficiency and optimization of warehouse operations. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology that generates work instruction data indicating the type of work, the target items, and the schedule; arranges this work instruction data in a queue in order of the earliest scheduled work completion time; and transmits the work instruction data from the top of the queue to the worker's terminal when a worker terminal notifies them of the completion of work and requests the next work instruction.
