Abstract
A method for managing storage of materials implemented in an electronic device to ensure that earliest-stored materials are removed from storage positions, first controls a scanning device to scan batch code and obtains batch information of the material when an inlet of the electronic device is required to receive the batch of material. A serial number of a storage position is associated with the batch information and a storage time of the batch of material in the storage position is recorded. The serial number of the storage position storing the batch of material according to the batch information is determined when a material-request is received and a transmission track is controlled to transfer the batches of material which having earliest recorded storage times one by one to the outlet, so as to release the batches of material from the storage position.
