Abstract

To improve work efficiency by enhancing the predictability of operation.SOLUTION: Work equipment comprises an article arrangement device 1 including a plurality of article arrangement regions where articles 9 are arranged respectively, and a work support device which gives work support to an operator 8 who performs operation on the article arrangement device 1. The work support device comprises display devices 21 each for one group of arrangement regions as an article arrangement region group, and a control system which controls an irradiation device and the display devices 21 based upon pieces of order information representing kinds and numbers of articles 9 needed for each shipment destination. The control systems makes display modes of the display devices 21 different according to whether an operator performs picking operation for the final storage region or picking operation before the picking operation for the final arrangement region.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
