Claim:
1. A device for processing placement data, comprising: an article data memory unit that stores article data including a configuration and a storage period of an article; a storage-region data memory unit that stores storage region data including a shape of a storage region where the article is placed; a temporal-spatial map data memory unit that stores temporal-spatial map data showing positions of the article and the storage region in space-time specified by a user; and a computation device that creates the temporal-spatial map data and acquires a placement position of the article in time series in the storage region using the article data, the storage region data and the temporal-spatial map data; wherein the device for processing placement data is connected to an input-output device; the article data memory unit stores the article data input via the input-output device; the storage-region data memory unit stores the storage region data input via the input-output device; the computation device includes: a position-determination sequence determination unit that determines sequence of the article for deciding a placement position on the basis of the article data; a placeable position extraction unit that creates the temporal-spatial map data and searches a placeable position of the article in the storage region in time series according to the sequence of the article using the article data, the storage region data and the temporal-spatial map data; a placement-position determination unit that acquires a placement position of the article out of placeable positions of the article in time series according to the sequence of the article on the basis of a condition specified by a user, and records an acquired placement position of the article in time series on the temporal-spatial map data; and an output control unit that outputs the acquired placement position of the article in time series to the input-output device; and the placeable position extraction unit searches a position in time series in the storage region as a placeable position of the article in the storage region, the searched position being a position where no other article is placed during the storage period of the article for deciding the placement position.
