Zusammenfassung:	An automated warehouse system having an improved cycle efficiency of storing and retrieving articles to and from the automated warehouse system. An automated warehouse system 1 includes a storage station 81, a retrieval station 82, a plurality of article storage shelves 16, a stacker crane 3, and a system controller 42. An article 8 is brought to the storage station 81 to be stored and retrieved from the retrieval station 82. The article storage shelves 16 store articles 8. The stacker crane 3 can move an article 8 between the storage station 81, the retrieval station 82, and the article storage shelves 16. The system controller 42 keeps track of the amount of storage time articles 8 have been stored and, when it determines that an article 8 has been stored on an article storage shelf 16 in a buffer area 84 for a first predetermined amount of time or longer, the system controller 42 controls the stacker crane 3 such that the stacker crane 3 carries the article 8 from an article storage shelf 16 in the buffer area 84 to an article storage shelf 16 in the first storage area 85.
