Cargo handling system, control method for operating cargo handling system, non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing control program for operating cargo handling system

A control method for operating a cargo handling system that supports, when unloading of a cargo loaded on a vehicle is performed, work of the unloading,

• wherein the cargo handling system comprising:
• an RFID reader/writer that includes a plurality of antennas disposed in a cargo compartment, and transmits and receives a radio wave to and from an RFID tag attached to the cargo through each of the plurality of antennas, the RFID tag being attached to the cargo;
• a storage section that stores a list in which ID information of the RFID tag is associated with a delivery location;
• a display apparatus disposed in the cargo compartment, and including a plurality of light sources arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of antennas;
• and
• a control apparatus,
• wherein the control apparatus acquires the ID information associated with the delivery location from the storage section, further acquires a radio wave intensity of the RFID tag from the RFID reader/writer, and controls, in a case where the radio wave intensity that has been acquired exceeds a threshold value, the display apparatus such that the display apparatus indicates a placement location for an undelivered cargo, the RFID tag having the ID information that has been acquired, the undelivered cargo being a cargo to which the RFID tag is attached, and
• wherein, when the control apparatus controls the display apparatus to indicate the placement location of the undelivered cargo, the control apparatus:
• (i) turns on the light source corresponding to any antenna that has received the radio wave whose intensity exceeds the threshold value;
• and
• (ii) turns off that light source when the intensity of the radio wave received by the corresponding antenna falls below the threshold value.
