Article discharge system

An article discharge system that pulls out some articles from an article group and discharges them, the article discharge system comprising:

• a placement unit in which the article group is placed;
• plural grippers that grip, with gripping members, the articles;
• a movable member to which the plural grippers are attached;
• a first drive unit that moves the movable member;
• weight acquisition units that acquire weight values of the articles that each of the grippers grips;
• and
• a control unit that moves the movable member, brings the plural grippers closer to the placement unit, causes the plural grippers to grip some of the articles of the article group placed in the placement unit, and, based on a result of a combination calculation using the weight values of the articles that each of the grippers grips and which the weight acquisition units have acquired, causes predetermined grippers among the plural grippers to release the articles and thereby discharge the articles,
• wherein
• the first drive unit is configured to integrally move the plural grippers attached to the movable member and insert the plural grippers into the article group.
