Abstract
When an article is taken out from an automatic warehouse (6), value information is written in an unmodifiable manner into an ID tag fitted to the article. When the value information is needed to know, the value information is read from the ID tag (30) of the article (28) by an ID reader (24). The amount of refund when an article is returned and the amount of compensation when an article is broken can be objectively known.
