A distribution system characterized by comprising:
- a first distribution mechanism that includes a transporter that transports an article to a destination of the article;
- and
- a manager that manages a first time that is a time earlier than a receiving time at which the article transported by the transporter is received and that is a last time at which a human contacted the article, or manages a first amount of elapsed time that is an amount of elapsed time from the first time.
An information processing device characterized by comprising:
- a controller that performs control for causing a first distribution mechanism including a transporter to transport an article to a destination of the article;
- and
- a manager that manages a first time that is a time earlier than a receiving time at which the article transported by the transporter is received and that is a last time at which a human contacted the article, or manages a first amount of elapsed time that is an amount of elapsed time from the first time.
A method characterized by comprising:
- managing, by a distribution system including a first distribution mechanism that includes a transporter that transports an article to a destination of the article, a first time that is a time earlier than a receiving time at which the article transported by the transporter is received and that is a last time at which a human contacted the article, or managing a first amount of elapsed time that is an amount of elapsed time from the first time.
