Dishwashing system, control device and process for controlling operation of a work device

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions which, when executed by processing circuitry of a dishwashing system, cause the processing circuitry to execute a process comprising:

• control an operation of a work device that performs an operation related to a washing rack that is placeable on each of a plurality of support surfaces extending in substantially the same plane, wherein the plurality of support surfaces include a first support surface, a second support surface disposed in association with a dishwasher capable of washing a dish in the washing rack, and a third support surface;
• and
• control the work device to operate such that the washing rack is transferred from the first support surface and to be returned to the first support surface via the second support surface and via the third support surface, wherein
• a direction in which the washing rack is carried into the dishwasher and a direction in which the washing rack is carried out of the dishwasher form a substantially right angle as viewed from above.

A dishwashing system, comprising:

• a control device;
• a first support portion having a first support surface capable of supporting a washing rack;
• a second support portion having a second support surface capable of supporting the washing rack, the second support portion being provided with a dishwasher capable of washing a dish in the washing rack supported on the second support surface;
• a third support portion having a third support surface capable of supporting the washing rack;
• and
• a work device that is controllable by the control device, wherein
• the first support surface, the second support surface, and the third support surface extend in substantially a same plane,
• the work device is operable such that the washing rack is transferred from the first support surface to be returned to the first support surface via the second support surface and via the third support surface, and
• a direction in which the washing rack is carried into the dishwasher and a direction in which the washing rack is carried out of the dishwasher form a substantially right angle as viewed from above.
