To provide a picking assist device, a control device, and a picking assist system that are capable of reducing restrictions on the location of a reporting device.SOLUTION: A picking assist device 100 informs the worker of the location of a picking object T based on picking instruction information. The picking assist device 100 includes a reporting device 120 and a control unit 110. The reporting device 120 is provided near the picking object T. The control unit 110 is located at a distance from the reporting device 120. The control unit 110 includes a power generator 112, a wireless signal sending/receiving unit 111, and a wired signal sending/receiving unit 114. The power generator 112 generates power from light. The wireless signal sending/receiving unit 111 receives wireless signals from the outside to obtain picking instruction information. The wired signal sending/receiving unit 114 transmits a reporting control signal to the reporting device 120 to control the reporting process and also supplies power.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】報知装置を配置する位置に対する制約をより少なくできるピッキングアシスト装置、制御装置、及びピッキングアシストシステムを提供する。【解決手段】ピッキングアシスト装置１００は、ピッキング指示情報に基づいて作業者にピッキング対象物Ｔの位置を報知する。ピッキングアシスト装置１００は、報知装置１２０と、制御装置１１０とを備える。報知装置１２０は、ピッキング対象物Ｔの近傍に設けられる。制御装置１１０は、報知装置１２０から離間した位置に設けられる。制御装置１１０は、電力生成部１１２と、無線信号送受信部１１１と、有線信号送受信部１１４とを備える。電力生成部１１２は、光から電力を生成する。無線信号受信部１１１は、外部からの無線信号を受信して、ピッキング指示情報を取得する。有線信号送信部１１４は、報知装置１２０に対して、報知処理を制御する報知制御信号を送信すると共に、電力を供給する。【選択図】図１
