    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve effectiveness of a library having plural of pickers. SOLUTION: The plural highly functional pickers in the automatic data memory library are disclosed, the library discriminates a starting/ending position of a received moving job, a library control device arranging the moving job in a job queue is provided. A picker processor receives information describing moving information of each of the present moving job of the other picker through a communication link from the other picker. At completion time of the moving job, the picker, communicating with the library control device, selects the moving job avoiding interference with movement of the other picker. Movement of the selected moving job is determined so as to avoid interference with a stored moving profile of the other picker. The moving profile is transmitted to the other picker through the communication link, the moving job is executed in accordance with the moving profile. Further, the moving information containing the present position and a vector is transmitted.
