1) Pick up different data compared with the stock data (step-2). If new current stock data is picked up (step-3), add the number of data to the cumulative number of stocks and store it. (Step-4) Then, the current time is added as storage date / time data (Step-5), and the data is added to the inventory data (Step-6). When the new inventory data disappears from the inventory data (Step-5). -7), the number of data is added to the cumulative number of issues and stored (step-8), and it is confirmed whether the disappeared data corresponds to the issue data (step-9). Erase (step-10), and if not applicable, store this inventory data as delivery error data (step-11), output it to CRT 46 and printer 45 (step-12), and And erase it (step-13). Then, when a retrieval error confirmation signal is input from the keyboard 47 (step-14), the retrieval error data is deleted (step-15).

By the above operation, the surgical instrument management computer 43 compares the current inventory data with the inventory data read by the bar code reader 37, and based on the difference,
Warehousing data and warehousing data are required, and the warehousing data manages the warehousing date and time. In addition, it is possible to confirm whether delivery has been correctly performed based on the operation schedule information, and whether replenishment has been performed.

Formulas (1) and (2) are used to calculate the rotation rate A and the stockout rate B for each predetermined period. Turnover rate A% = (Number of containers 31 of the same surgical instrument data held) / (Number of containers 31 used for a predetermined period / Predetermined period × Coefficient) × 100 (1) Out-of-stock rate B% = ( (Number of stockouts / number of containers 31 used in predetermined period) × 100 (2) It is better that the turnover rate A% is high and the stockout rate B% is low. The surgical instrument management computer 43 calculates the turnover rate A% and the stockout rate B% of the container 31 based on the stockout data and the delivery data,
Based on the balance between the calculated turnover rate A% and the shortage rate B%, whether the number of containers 31 of the same surgical instrument data is appropriate (whether it is not shortage or overstock)
Can be grasped. Further, it can be determined whether the container 31 is being used effectively, and the type and number of the containers 31 to be stored can be improved.

The control device 24 'has a function of checking inventory data at the time of loading and unloading work and a sterilizing function, in addition to the conventional operation of controlling the rotation of the bucket 13 to the loading / unloading port 18.

9). That is, the motor 9 is driven to rotate the bucket 13 to the opening 34 in order from the predetermined number 1 stage, and then the motor 36 is driven to rotate the container 31 placed in the bucket 13 at this stage. The label 32 is read by the barcode reader 37, and data consisting of a code of a set of surgical instruments and a code of a branch number is stored. Finally, the current store data including the step number of the bucket 13, the code of the set of surgical instruments, and the code of the branch number is formed (step-10).
The data is transmitted to the surgical instrument management computer 43 via the data transmission device 41 and the communication path 42 (step-11).

By the above operation, after the operation is completed, the control device 24 'drives the bar code reader 37 to sequentially read the code of the label 32 of the container 31 stored in each stage of the bucket to obtain the current store data. Therefore, the latest stock data is always maintained. Next, the operation of the sterilization function will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. At a predetermined time of the day (there are many late nights when the loading / unloading work is not performed) (step-
1) Locking the loading / unloading operation (step-2), driving the motor 9 to move the buckets 13 to the predetermined position below the germicidal lamp 39 in order from the predetermined number 1 step, and for a predetermined time (at least 5 seconds). The sterilization lamp 39 is turned on to perform a sterilization operation (steps -3 to 11). When this sterilization operation is completed, the lock of the entry / exit operation is released (step-1).

By the above operation, the control device 24 'rotates the buckets 13 to the position of the germicidal lamp 39 at predetermined time intervals, sterilizes the container 31 with the germicidal lamp 39, and maintains the sterilized state of the container 31. The work procedure of the worker having the above configuration (mainly a nurse is a worker in a hospital) will be described.

First, the work procedure at the time of unloading will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. The operator operates the surgical instrument management computer 43 at predetermined times to operate the printer.
The list output from 45 is checked (Step-1), and if there is a missing item list in this list (Step-2), the necessary surgical instruments are immediately assembled and sterilized according to the missing item list ( In step-3), if there is a sterilization list in the list (step-4), the container 31 of the surgical instrument data of the shelf equipment stage specified according to the sterilization list is taken out and sterilization is performed (step-5). Next, in accordance with the delivery list, the console 20 of each rotary shelf facility is operated in sequence, and the bucket 13 at the stage of the list is called to the loading / unloading port 18 by the operation of the control device 24 ', and the name of the set of surgical instruments in the container 31 And label 38 with the branch number of the set
And take out the container 31 (steps 6 to 8).
When the removal of all the containers 38 from the list is completed, the console 20 is operated to input work completion to the control device 24 ', for example, a completion button is pressed (step-9). And
The unloaded container 31 is transported to the operating room for the operation (step-10).

When it is confirmed by the operation of the surgical instrument management computer 43 from the printer 45 that the retrieval error list has been output (step 1), the retrieved container 31 is output.
Check the name of the surgical instrument set (Step-
2) After confirmation, a confirmation signal is input from the keyboard 47 to the surgical instrument management computer 43 (step-3).
The work procedure at the time of storage will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the arrival of the container 31 sterilized by the automatic sterilizer is confirmed (step-1), the console 20 of the rotary shelf equipment is operated, and the operation of the control device 24 'roughly determines the set from the name of the set. The bucket 13 of each section is called, and the sterilized container 31 is stored in an empty load storage space (steps 2 to 4). When all the containers 31 have been stored, the console 20 is operated to operate the control device 24 '.
A work completion is input, for example, a completion button is pressed (step-5).

As described above, each time the worker finishes the loading / unloading operation, the bucket 13 is rotated, and the bar code of the container 31 of the bucket 13 at each stage is read by the movable bar code reader 33, and the control device is operated. The data is output to the surgical instrument management computer 43 via the 24 'and the stock data is updated, so that the stock can be automatically and accurately managed in the flow of the loading / unloading work without making the worker aware. Therefore, the labor and burden on the operator can be reduced. Particularly in hospitals, workers are often busy nurses, and the effect is great.
In addition, it is possible to eliminate the need to inform the worker of the work procedure for stock.

Further, when the surgical instrument management computer 43 confirms the stock of the container 31 in the new cargo storage space based on the input current store data, the surgical instrument management computer 43 stores the date and time, and confirms the elapsed time from that time. The stock period of the container 31 can be managed. In addition, by controlling the stock period, the sterilization period can be controlled, and when the sterilization period of the container 31 has passed, the container 31 that has passed this period is notified and the sterilization operation is performed, so that the sterilization is always performed. It is possible to supply a surgical instrument in a state where the operation is performed.

At each predetermined time, each bucket 13 is disinfected by a germicidal lamp.
By rotating to the 39 position and sterilizing, the growth of bacteria on the bucket 13 and the container 31 can be prevented.
In addition, by managing the storage date and time, it is possible to exit from the container 31 that has entered earlier, and to exit before the sterilization period has expired. The number of times the device is used can be reduced.

In the present embodiment, the rotary shelf is rotated in the vertical direction. However, the present invention can be applied to a rotary shelf rotated in the horizontal direction. In the above embodiment, the shelf equipment is a rotary shelf equipment. However, when the shelf equipment is a fixed shelf equipment, it is necessary to move the rod 35 of the movable barcode reader 33 itself.

FIG. 14 shows an example in the case of a shelf in an automatic warehouse. The automatic warehouse includes a shelf 54 in which a brace 52 is horizontally fixed to a vertical support 51 and a load storage space 53 is formed vertically and horizontally, and a loading / unloading device which moves along a front surface of the shelf 54 to load and unload a load 55 ( crane)
The load 55 has a label 57 on which a barcode is written at a predetermined position. The movable barcode reader 33 'lays rails (rack) 61 vertically along the columns 51 at the left and right ends of the shelf 54.
A moving body 62 that moves simultaneously in the vertical direction by, for example, driving a gear is provided along the rod, a rod 35 is horizontally supported between the moving bodies 62, and a motor 36 that traverses along the rod 35 is provided.
, And a bar code reader 37 is provided on the motor 36.

According to the above configuration, every time the loading / unloading operation is completed by the loading / unloading device 56, the moving body 62 is moved up and down to the position of the label 57 of the load 55 placed in the load storage space 53 of each stage, and the motor 36 By driving the bar code reader 37 to traverse the bar code reader 37, the stock can be confirmed by reading the bar code of the load 55 in each stage. In the above embodiment, the inventory of the container 31 and the load 55 is managed. However, when the container 31 and the load 55 to be stocked are food items, the expiration date is managed by managing the stock period. This makes it possible to solve the problem that the load cannot be used.

In the above embodiment, a bar code is used as a code, but a color code may be used. Further, the items to be written on the labels of the container 31 and the load 55 are not limited to the set and the name of the load, but may be any items that specify the load such as the product number and the type of the load. In addition, by using a linear motor for the motor 36 used for the mobile barcode reader 33, a clean effect can be obtained.
