1. A storage device comprising:
a storage container including multiple storage units each configured to hold at least a case accommodating multiple accommodatable objects; and
control circuitry configured to
perform wireless communication with both a first wireless tag attached to the case loaded in the storage container and a second wireless tag attached to each of the multiple accommodatable objects by using a wireless device provided at an entrance of the storage container to acquire specific information for specifying the case memorized in the first wireless tag and identification information for identifying each of the multiple accommodatable objects memorized in the second wireless tag,
associate the specific information and the identification information with each other to manage a correspondence relationship between the specific information and the identification information, and
inform of a difference between the multiple accommodatable objects accommodated in the case based on the identification information before the case is unloaded from the storage container and the identification information when the case is loaded into the storage container again.
