Description

Agricultural management system

Technical Field

The present invention relates to an agricultural management system that manages, for example, agricultural works that produce agricultural products, and manages harvested agricultural products.

Background

Grain such as rice and wheat is harvested by an agricultural machine such as a combine harvester, the harvested grain is transported to a transport vehicle, and then transported to a rice processing center, a processing facility such as a large grain drying and storing facility, and the processing for shipment is performed in the processing facility. As a technique for inspecting the quality of grains (grains) after drying and husking the grains (rice) in a processing facility, techniques described in patent documents 1 and 2 are disclosed.

Patent documents 1 and 2 disclose that information detected in each process (drying, storage, shelling, preparation, and measurement) of a processing facility is input to a data management device. Further, it is disclosed that producer information for identifying a producer of grain is associated with measurement information (quality information) and managed. In the processing equipment, as a technique for inspecting the quality of grains, a technique described in patent document 3 is disclosed. Patent document 3 discloses a grain processing facility in which grains are subjected to color screening processing by a color screening unit, wherein the grains contained in the color screening unit are screened into color-preferred grains and color-selected defective grains.

Disclosure of Invention

Patent documents 1 and 2 describe that quality information and producer information are associated and managed in addition to input of detection information of each process to a data management device. However, in reality, no specific association or processing between the quality information and the producer information is described, and the quality information and the like cannot be used in each processing. In addition, patent documents 1 and 2 disclose outputting information related to classification. However, in reality, since the relevance of the detection information and the information related to the classification, and the specific processing based on the relevance, etc. are not disclosed, the processing apparatuses cannot be comprehensively managed.

As shown in patent document 3, the selection is divided into a preferred plasmid and a defective plasmid in the color sorter. That is, the grains are put into a color sorter and subjected to color sorting, and the grains of high quality are shipped. Here, various settings can be made in the color sorter, and the shipment volume of grains (grains) that become the optimal grains depends on the settings of the color sorting. Therefore, when the color sorter is set incorrectly, the yield of excellent plasmids is reduced by unintended screening, or even if the yield of excellent plasmids is large, products of lower grades are shipped together. On the other hand, since the relationship between the color selection result and the level by the color selector is not clear, it is actually difficult to set the color selector.

In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide an agricultural management system capable of reflecting work information and crop information at the time of production of a crop on a processing device for processing the crop. Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide an agricultural management system capable of effectively utilizing production management information on grain production and quality information on grain quality. It is another object of the present invention to provide an agricultural management system capable of efficiently performing treatment in a facility including at least a dryer, a preparation machine, and a meter. Further, it is another object of the present invention to provide an agricultural management system capable of performing appropriate color sorting.

In order to solve the technical problem, the technical means adopted in the present invention is characterized by the following points.

The agricultural management system is provided with: a production management computer that manages work information relating to agricultural work for producing crops and crop information relating to harvested crops; and a crop management computer that manages information including operation information of a processing facility that processes harvested crops, wherein the crop management computer includes a production information acquisition unit that acquires work information and crop information managed by the production management computer.

The crop management computer includes a comprehensive association establishing unit that associates management information assigned for each operation performed by the processing facility, information including the operation information, the work information acquired by the production information acquiring unit, and the crop information.

The processing facility includes a dryer that performs a process of drying grains as the crop, and the integrated association establishing unit associates drying management information assigned for each operation of the dryer, the drying operation information as operation information of the dryer, the work information, and the crop information.

The crop management computer has an operation management unit for obtaining a recommended dryer based on the yield of grain and the protein quality as the crop information.

The operation management unit obtains an amount of material that can be fed to the dryer, based on a harvest amount of grain as the crop information, an amount of material fed to the dryer as the drying operation information, and a maximum amount of material fed to the dryer.

The crop management computer has a display part for displaying the maximum feeding amount and the available feeding amount.

The processing facility includes a meter for measuring the grain modulated by the modulation machine, and the integrated correlation creation unit correlates measurement management information distributed for each operation of the meter, measurement operation information as operation information of the meter, operation information, and crop information.

The agricultural management system is provided with: a production management computer capable of storing production management information relating to production of grains and outputting the production management information; a crop management computer capable of storing quality information relating to the quality of the grain and outputting the quality information; and an information acquisition computer capable of acquiring the production information and/or the quality information.

The production management computer has a quality acquisition unit connected to the crop management computer to acquire the quality information stored in the crop management computer, and the information acquisition computer has an information acquisition unit connected to the production management computer to acquire the quality information acquired by the quality acquisition unit.

The crop management computer includes a production information acquisition unit connected to the production management computer to acquire the production management information stored in the production management computer, and the information acquisition computer includes an information acquisition unit to acquire the production management information acquired by the quality acquisition unit.

The crop management computer has: a production information acquisition unit connected to the production management computer to acquire the production management information stored in the production management computer; and a quality association establishing unit that associates the production management information with the quality information, wherein the information acquiring computer includes an information acquiring unit that acquires the production management information and the quality information associated with the quality association establishing unit.

The agricultural management system is provided with: a dryer capable of drying grains and outputting drying operation information as drying operation information; a modulation device capable of modulating the grain dried by the dryer and outputting modulation operation information as modulation operation information; a meter configured to measure the grain modulated by the modulation device and output measurement operation information as measurement operation information; and a computer having an operation acquisition unit for acquiring the drying operation information, the modulation operation information, and the measurement operation information, wherein the computer further has a merge correlation establishment unit for correlating the drying management information distributed for each operation of the dryer with the drying information including the drying operation information, correlating the modulation management information distributed for each operation of the modulator with the modulation information including the modulation operation information, and correlating the measurement information including the measurement management information distributed for each operation of the meter with the measurement operation information.

The agricultural management system is provided with: a color sorter which performs color sorting on the grains and outputs a color sorting result as a result of the sorting; an appearance quality detector which performs color inspection of grains and outputs a color result as a result of the color inspection; and a computer having an operation acquisition unit for acquiring the color selection result and the color result.

According to the present invention, the following effects are obtained.

The production management computer can manage the operation information and the crop information. On the other hand, information including operation information of the treatment facility that treats the harvested crop can be managed by the crop management computer. The crop management computer can acquire the work information and the crop information managed by the production management computer. Therefore, the job information and the crop information can be reflected on the processing device.

For example, when processing is performed in a processing device, job information and crop information can be grasped. That is, when the plant is processed in the processing facility, the plant can be traced back to the state of the crop at the time of the agricultural work for growing the crop and the harvest. Further, the processing device can be set based on the job information and the crop information.

Management information such as a lot number assigned to each job in the processing device can be associated with job information, and crop information of the processing device. Therefore, the job information and the crop information can be grasped for each operation of the processing device. That is, it is possible to trace back to the agricultural work at the time of growing the crop and the state of the crop at the time of harvesting for each operation of the treatment facility.

The drying operation information, the operation information, and the crop information can be associated with each operation of the dryer by the drying management information. Therefore, the result of drying by the dryer, the result of agricultural work, and the state of the crop at the time of harvesting can be grasped for each operation of the dryer.

The operation information, the work information, and the crop information can be modulated by associating the modulation management information with each operation of the modulation device. Therefore, the result of modulation by the modulation machine, the result of agricultural work, and the state of the crop at the time of harvesting can be grasped for each operation of the modulation machine.

The recommended dryer can be obtained from the yield of grains and the protein mass. Therefore, grains having a relatively close protein mass can be supplied to the dryer.

The amount of material that can be supplied to the dryer can be easily determined from the amount of harvested grain, the amount of material supplied to the dryer, and the maximum amount of material supplied to the dryer.

Since the feedable amount is displayed, the operator can easily determine whether or not the grains can be supplied to the dryer. In particular, in the case where there are a plurality of dryers, the order of feeding the grains can be appropriately determined while observing the amount of the grains that can be fed.

The measurement management information can correlate the operation information, the work information, and the crop information for each operation of the meter. Therefore, the result of measurement by the meter, that is, the crop information at the time of harvesting and the agricultural work for the delivery amount can be grasped.

A production management computer for storing production management information relating to production of grains, a crop management computer for storing quality information relating to quality of grains, and an information acquisition computer can be linked. In particular, the information acquisition computer can acquire the production management information and the quality information at the same time, and therefore, for example, the correlation between the quality of grains at the time of shipment and the production of farmlands, agricultural works, and the like for growing grains can be grasped, and various items from the time of shipment of grains can be analyzed. That is, production management information relating to the production of grains and quality information relating to the quality of grains can be effectively used.

Only by connecting the information acquisition computer to the production management computer, quality information not possessed by the production management computer can be obtained. That is, the quality information can be obtained without connecting the information acquisition computer to the crop management computer.

Production management information not possessed by the crop management computer can be obtained only by connecting the information obtaining computer to the crop management computer. That is, the production management information can be obtained without connecting the information acquisition computer to the production management computer.

The quality information associated with the production information acquiring unit and the production management information can be acquired only by connecting the information acquiring computer to the crop management computer.

Further, the drying management information distributed when the dryer is operated and the drying information including the drying operation information are linked by a computer. Therefore, the drying information including the drying operation information can be managed in the unit of operation of the dryer. Further, the drying information obtained in the unit of operation can be reflected on the preparation machine or the meter.

Similarly, the modulation management information assigned when the modulation device is operated and the modulation information including the modulation operation information are linked by the computer. Therefore, the modulation information including the modulation operation information can be managed in the operation unit of the modulation manager. Further, the modulation information obtained in operation units can be reflected on the dryer or the meter.

Further, the measurement management information distributed when the meter is operated and the measurement information including the measurement operation information are linked by a computer. Therefore, the measurement information including the measurement operation information can be managed in the operation unit of the meter. Further, the measurement information obtained in the unit of operation can be reflected on the dryer or the conditioner. That is, information of each of the dryer, the conditioner, and the meter can be reflected on other devices, and the processing can be efficiently performed by the equipment including the dryer, the conditioner, and the meter.

In addition, the color selection result of the color selector and the color result of the appearance quality detector can be obtained. Therefore, for example, the color result measured by the appearance quality detector can be acquired before color selection by the color selector, and the color selector can be set based on the color result. Further, after color selection is performed by the color selector, the color result measured by the appearance quality detector can be obtained, and the color result can be fed back, which can contribute to the setting of the next color selector.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[ embodiment 1 ]

Fig. 1 shows an overall view of an agricultural management system.

The agricultural management system includes a production management system that manages planting of a crop to harvesting of the crop and a crop management system that manages the harvested crop.

First, an outline of the production management system will be described. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, crops are explained as grains such as rice and wheat. Of course, the crops are not limited to rice and wheat.

The production management system is a system that manages various information (referred to as production management information) from the planting of grains to the harvesting of grains. Here, the production management information is roughly divided into information relating to agricultural operations (referred to as operation information) and information relating to crops (grains) (referred to as crop information).

The job information is information including actual results of the agricultural work (agricultural actual results). For example, when the farming work is farming, the farming place and the farming day are used. In addition, when the agricultural work is fertilization, the location of fertilization, the day of fertilization, the name of fertilizer, and the amount of fertilizer applied are used. In addition, when the agricultural work is pesticide application, the location of pesticide application, the date of pesticide application, the name of pesticide, and the amount of pesticide applied are indicated. In the case where the agricultural work is harvesting, the site of harvesting and the amount of harvesting are used.

The work information (agricultural performance) may include information on an operator who performs agricultural work (operator name, number of people who works, and the like), and information on a machine that performs agricultural work (classification, model, machine identification information, and the like of the agricultural machine). The work information is not limited to the above as long as it includes actual results of various agricultural works.

The crop information is information including characteristics of grains and the like, and is, for example, varieties of grains, characteristics of grains (moisture amount at the time of harvesting, protein amount at the time of harvesting), and harvest amount. The characteristics of the grain (moisture content at the time of harvesting, protein quality at the time of harvesting) and the harvest yield can also be treated as the work performance. The crop information is not limited to the above as long as it is information indicating a crop (grain).

As shown in fig. 1, the production management system includes a data collection device 5 capable of collecting production management information (job information and crop information). The data collection device 5 is mounted on agricultural machinery such as a tractor, a rice transplanter, and a combine. The data collection device 5 can communicate with various devices mounted on the agricultural machine via an on-board network or the like mounted on the agricultural machine. The data collection device 5 collects (acquires) various data when the agricultural machine is operated. In other words, the data collection device 5 collects the work information including the agricultural performance of the agricultural machine in the agricultural machine that performs the agricultural work.

Hereinafter, the collection of agricultural performance by the data collection device 5 will be described by taking a tractor and a combine as an example. For convenience of explanation, the data collection device 5 mounted on the tractor will be referred to as a 1 st data collection device 5A, and the data collection device 5 mounted on the combine will be referred to as a 2 nd data collection device 5B.

First, the structure of the tractor will be explained.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a tractor 10 includes a running vehicle (running vehicle body) 11, an engine 12, a transmission 13, a driver's seat 14, and a control device 15. In addition, various working devices can be detachably connected to the rear portion of the traveling vehicle 11. Specifically, the 3-point link mechanism 16 is provided at the rear of the traveling vehicle 11 so as to be able to ascend and descend, and a PTO shaft that transmits power from the engine 12 is provided. In the 3-point link mechanism 16, as the working device 17, for example, a fertilizer spreading device, a farming device, a pesticide spreading device, a seed spreading device, and a harvesting device can be attached. Further, fig. 2 shows an example of mounting the fertilizer spreading device to the 3-point link mechanism 16.

The control device 15 is a device that performs travel system control, work system control, and the like of the tractor 10. The control device 15 controls, for example, the operation of the engine 12 as a traveling system control. Further, the control device 15 controls, as the work system control, operations such as raising and lowering of the 3-point link mechanism 16 and output (rotation speed) of the PTO shaft in accordance with input values when receiving input from an operation tool such as an operation lever or an operation switch provided around the driver seat 14. The travel system control and the work system control performed by the control device 15 are not limited to the above.

A control signal for controlling the traveling system and the work system, and a detection signal detected by various devices mounted on the tractor 10 are output to the vehicle network.

The data collection device 5 (the 1 st data collection device 5A) is connected to the control device 15 via an in-vehicle network or the like. The 1 st data collection device 5A acquires a control signal and a detection signal to be output to the on-vehicle network when the tractor 10 or the like is operating.

For example, when a rotary tillage device connected to the rear of the tractor 10 is operated (tillage is performed), the 1 st data collection device 5A acquires data such as the rotation speed of the rotary device, the load of the rotary device, the engine rotation speed, the vehicle speed, and the tillage depth via the vehicle-mounted network. That is, the 1 st data collection device 5A acquires the rotation speed of the swing device, the load of the swing device, the engine rotation speed, the vehicle speed, and the tilling depth, which are agricultural practices in the case of tilling as an agricultural work.

In addition, when the fertilizer application device connected to the rear portion of the tractor 10 is operated (when fertilizer is applied), data such as the vehicle speed, the engine speed, and the fertilizer application amount are acquired via the on-vehicle network. That is, the 1 st data collection device 5A acquires the vehicle speed, the engine speed, and the fertilizing amount as agricultural performance when fertilizing as an agricultural work.

Alternatively, when the pesticide application device connected to the rear portion of the tractor 10 is operated (when pesticide application is performed), data such as the vehicle speed, the engine speed, and the pesticide application amount are acquired via the on-vehicle network. That is, the 1 st data collection device 5A acquires the vehicle speed, the engine speed, and the pesticide application amount as agricultural results in the case where pesticide application is performed as agricultural work.

That is, in the case where the agricultural machine is the tractor 10, the 1 st data collection device 5A collects agricultural results of the agricultural work performed by the device connected to the tractor 10.

Next, the structure of the combine harvester will be explained.

As shown in fig. 3, the combine harvester 20 includes a machine body 21, a travel device 22, a driver seat 14, an engine 12, a grain tank 24, a harvesting device 25, a measuring device 26, a control device 27, and a threshing device (not shown). The traveling device 22 is provided at a lower portion of the machine body. The driver seat 14, the engine 12, the threshing device, and the grain tank 24 are provided in the machine body 21. The cutting device 25 is provided at the front of the body 21. The harvesting device 25 is a device for harvesting grains. The threshing device is a device for threshing cut grains. The grain tank 24 is a tank for storing threshed grains. The control device 27 controls the engine 12, the threshing device, or the harvesting device 25.

The measuring device 26 is a device for measuring the moisture content, protein quality, yield, and the like of grains. Specifically, the measurement device 26 includes: a moisture measuring unit 26A that measures the amount of moisture contained in the grain; a taste measurement part 26B for measuring the protein quality of the grain; and a harvest amount measuring part 26C for measuring the harvest amount of the grain. The moisture measuring unit 26A and the flavor measuring unit 26B are provided inside the grain tank 24 or around the grain tank 24. The harvest amount measuring unit 26C is provided below the grain tank 24.

The taste measurement unit 26B irradiates near-infrared light to the grain placed in the grain tank 24, analyzes the absorption spectrum from the spectroscopic analysis of the transmitted light, and obtains the amount of a component such as protein contained in the grain (protein content), that is, the protein mass, from the analysis result. The moisture measuring unit 26A is configured by a sensor that measures the moisture content of grain using the dielectric constant of grain or measures the moisture content (moisture content) of grain using the electrical resistance of grain. The harvest amount measuring unit 26C is constituted by a weight sensor or the like that measures the weight of the grain tank 24 and converts the weight of the grain tank 24 into the harvest amount. The flavor measuring unit 26B, the water measuring unit 26A, and the harvest amount measuring unit 26C are not limited to the above examples.

The data collection device 5 (2 nd data collection device 5B) is connected to the control device 27 or the measurement device 26 (moisture measurement unit 26A, taste measurement unit 26B), and collects the harvest yield of grain, the moisture content at the time of harvest, and the protein quality at the time of harvest.

That is, in the case where the agricultural machine is the combine harvester 20, the 2 nd data collecting device 5B collects the harvest amount as the agricultural performance, or collects the moisture amount at the time of harvest and the protein amount at the time of harvest as the crop information. As described above, the water content at the time of harvesting and the protein content at the time of harvesting can also be treated as agricultural performance.

As described above, the data collection device 5 can collect the agricultural performance of the agricultural work performed by the device connected to the tractor 10 and the agricultural performance of the agricultural work performed by the combine harvester 20. The agricultural performance is an example, and the agricultural performance is not limited to the above.

The data collection device 5 (the 1 st data collection device 5A, the 2 nd data collection device 5B) includes a 1 st storage unit 30 and a 1 st communication unit 31. The 1 st storage unit 30 stores data including agricultural performance at a time. The 1 st communication unit 31 is configured as a device that performs short-range or long-range communication, and is connectable to an external device (computer). For example, the 1 st communication unit 31 is a device that performs Wireless communication by Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, registered trademark) of IEEE802.11 series, which is a communication standard, or the like. The 1 st communication unit 31 may be a device that performs wireless communication through a mobile phone communication network, or may be a device that performs wireless communication through a data communication network.

The production management system further includes a computer 33 for managing production management information (job information and crop information). The computer 33 can be roughly classified into an operator computer 33A operated by an operator who performs an agricultural operation, a manager computer 33B operated by a manager who manages the operator, a production management computer 33C to which the operator computer 33A and the manager computer 33B can be connected.

In the present embodiment, the operator computer 33A is a communication terminal (mobile terminal) assigned to and held by an agricultural worker, the manager computer 33B is a Personal Computer (PC) assigned to a manager, and the production management computer 33C is a server.

The communication terminal (mobile terminal) 33A is configured by, for example, a smartphone (multifunctional mobile phone), a tablet PC, or the like, which has a relatively high arithmetic capability. The communication terminal 33A includes a 2 nd communication unit 35, a 2 nd storage unit 36, and a display unit 56.

The 2 nd communication unit 35 is constituted by a communication device that performs wireless communication with the data collection device 5 and the production management computer. The 2 nd communication unit 35 is a device that performs Wireless communication by, for example, Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, registered trademark) of IEEE802.11 series as a communication standard. The 2 nd communication unit 35 is a device that performs wireless communication via, for example, a mobile phone communication network, a data communication network, a mobile phone communication network, or the like.

Therefore, if the 1 st communication unit 31 of the data collection device 5 and the 2 nd communication unit 35 of the communication terminal 33A are connected, the communication terminal 33A can acquire data such as agricultural performance collected by the data collection device 5, that is, data including production management information (work information, crop information).

When acquiring the production management information (job information, crop information), the communication terminal 33A associates and acquires the machine identification information serving as the transmission source of the production management information with the production management information. For example, the communication terminal 33A acquires, from the data collection device 5, machine identification information for identifying the tractor 10 or the working device 17, or machine identification information for identifying the combine harvester 20, together with the production management information.

Therefore, the production management information can be extracted using the machine identification information.

Further, if the 2 nd communication unit 35 of the communication terminal 33A and the production management computer 33C are connected, the production management information (work information, crop information) which is data including agricultural performance can be transmitted to the production management computer 33C. In addition, various data can be transmitted from the production management computer 33C to the communication terminal 33A.

The communication terminal 33A may also have a position detection unit 37. The position detection unit 37 is a device that receives a signal (the position, transmission time, correction information, and the like of a GPS satellite) transmitted from a positioning satellite (for example, a GPS satellite), and detects its own position (for example, latitude and longitude) from the received signal. For example, if an agricultural worker carries out agricultural work by riding on the tractor 10, the position of the agricultural worker at the time of agricultural work, that is, the location at the time of agricultural work can be detected.

More specifically, for example, in the case of cultivating with the tractor 10, the place of cultivation (farmland position) can be detected, and in the case of harvesting with the combine harvester 20, the place of harvesting (farmland position) can be detected. The position detecting unit 37 may be provided to an agricultural machine such as the tractor 10 or the combine harvester 20.

The 2 nd storage unit 36 stores data (work information, crop information, machine identification information, and the like) transmitted from the data collection device 5 or stores data transmitted from the production management computer 33C.

Next, the production management computer 33C will be described in detail.

The production management computer 33C includes a planting plan setting unit 40 that sets a planting plan, and a planting plan storage unit 41 that stores the planting plan. The planting plan setting unit 40 is configured by a program or the like stored in the production management computer 33C. The planting plan is a plan in which crops to be planted, a farmland to be planted, and the like are set.

When the administrator computer 33B registers in the production management computer 33C and a request for creation of a planting plan is made from the administrator computer 33B, the planting plan setting unit 40 displays a screen for creating a planting plan, that is, a planting plan screen for inputting crops to be planted, a field to be planted, and the like on the administrator computer 33B in accordance with the request. When the crops to be planted, the fields to be planted, and the like are input on the planting plan screen, the planting plan setting unit 40 stores the input crops and fields as the planting plan in the planting plan storage unit 41.

Therefore, by connecting the manager computer 33B to the production management computer 33C, it is possible to easily create a planting plan in which the crops to be planted and the farmland are associated with each other, and the created planting plan can be stored in the planting plan storage unit 41.

The production management computer 33C includes a work plan creating unit 42 that creates a work plan and a work plan storage unit 43 that stores the work plan. The operation plan creation unit 42 is configured by a program or the like stored in the production management computer 33C. The work plan is a plan in which a predetermined place (farm field), agricultural work, time for performing agricultural work (work time), agricultural workers performing agricultural work, details of agricultural work, and the like are set. The operation plan may include the name of the crop (the type of the crop) and the like.

Agricultural operations refer to, for example, topsoil preparation, ridge making, farming, seeding, planting, leveling of paddy fields, drainage of water, weeding, top dressing, harvesting, and the like. The details of the agricultural work are the name of fertilizer and the amount of fertilizer applied when the agricultural work is fertilization, and the name of pesticide and the amount of pesticide applied when the agricultural work is pesticide application. Information on a machine used for agricultural work may be used as details of the agricultural work.

When the administrator computer 33B registers in the production management computer 33C and a request for job plan creation is made from the administrator computer 33B, the job plan creating unit 42 displays a job plan setting screen for creating a job plan on the administrator computer 33B in accordance with the request. The operation plan creating unit 42 displays an operation plan setting screen for inputting, for example, the name of an agricultural work, a farmland, agricultural work, work time, agricultural workers, details of agricultural work, and the like. The operation plan creation unit 42 also stores the items (crop name, farmland, agricultural work, work time, agricultural workers, and details of agricultural work) input on the operation plan setting screen as the operation plan in the operation plan storage unit 43.

Therefore, by connecting the administrator computer 33B to the production management computer 33C, the job plan can be easily created, and the created job plan can be stored in the job plan storage unit 43.

The production management computer 33C is provided with a work instruction unit 44. The work instruction unit 44 is configured by a program or the like stored in the production management computer 33C. The work instruction unit 44 transmits the work plan to the operator computer (communication terminal 33A).

When a request for transmission of an operation plan is made from the communication terminal 33A, the operation instructing unit 44 extracts an operation plan including the operator assigned to the communication terminal 33A from the operation plan storage unit 43 and transmits the operation plan to the communication terminal 33A in accordance with the request, the communication terminal 33A registering the communication terminal 33A assigned to the operator in the production management computer 33C.

As described above, according to the production management system, the planting plan can be created by the administrator using the computer 33B, and the planting plan can be stored in the production management computer 33C. Further, the manager can create the work plan by using the computer 33B, and can transmit the work plan to the communication terminal 33A assigned to the farm worker. The agricultural worker can perform agricultural work while observing the transmitted work plan. Further, the communication terminal 33A can transmit the work information including the agricultural performance and the production management information, which is the crop information, to the production management computer 33C.

Next, the transmission of the production management information from the communication terminal 33A to the production management computer 33C will be described in detail.

As shown in fig. 4, the display unit 56 of the communication terminal 33A can display a main screen (1 st screen) Q1. In the main screen Q1, a notification button 50 and a collection button 51 are displayed. The notification button 50 and the collection button 51 are selectable.

When the notification button 50 is selected, a login process is executed between the communication terminal 33A and the production management computer 33C. After the registration, the communication terminal 33A requests the production management computer 33C to transmit the job plan. The production management computer 33C transmits the job plan corresponding to the communication terminal 33A. The production management computer 33C transmits, for example, an operation plan including a crop name, a place of cultivation, a cultivation day, a place of fertilization, a date of fertilization, a fertilizer name, a fertilizer application amount, a place of pesticide application, a pesticide application day, a pesticide name, a pesticide application amount, a place of harvest, an operator name, an agricultural machine, and the like to the communication terminal 33A.

When the collection button 51 is selected, the communication terminal 33A is connected to the data collection device 5 (the 1 st data collection device 5A, the 2 nd data collection device 5B), and acquires work information including agricultural performance collected by the data collection device 5, and the like. The communication terminal 33A transmits the acquired job information and the like to the production management computer 33C. The communication terminal 33A transmits, for example, the rotation speed of the gyroscope, the load of the gyroscope, the engine rotation speed, the vehicle speed, the tilling depth, the fertilizing amount, the pesticide application amount, the harvesting amount, the moisture amount at the time of harvesting, the protein amount at the time of harvesting, and the like to the production management computer 33C.

Note that the notification button 50 and the collection button 51 are independent from each other, but the notification button 50 and the collection button 51 may be shared. When the notification button 50 is selected, the communication terminal 33A may also acquire job information and the like from the data collection device 5.

The job plan transmitted from the production management computer 33C is displayed on a job plan screen Q2 of the communication terminal 33A, as shown in fig. 5. In addition to the job plan, the communication terminal 33A can display a completion button 52 indicating the completion of the agricultural job. When the completion button 52 is selected, the communication terminal 33A converts the work plan shown on the work plan screen Q2 into an agricultural performance. Specifically, when the completion button 52 is selected, the communication terminal 33A changes, as the agricultural performance, the item that cannot be obtained by the data collection device 5 among the items shown in the work plan. For example, when the operation plan is "crop name, cultivation site, cultivation day, fertilization site, fertilization day, fertilizer name, fertilization amount, pesticide application site, pesticide application day, pesticide name, pesticide application amount, harvest site, operator name, and agricultural machine", items other than the fertilization amount, pesticide application amount, and harvest amount are converted into agricultural performance. In addition, when the work plan is converted into the agricultural performance, the predetermined item can be corrected by the operation of the communication terminal 33A. The communication terminal 33A transmits the converted agricultural performance to the production management computer 33C.

That is, the communication terminal 33A transmits the operation information (cultivation site, cultivation day, fertilization site, fertilization day, fertilizer name, fertilization amount, pesticide application site, pesticide application day, pesticide name, pesticide application amount, harvest site, operator name, agricultural machine) to the production management computer 33C. Further, the communication terminal 33A transmits crop information (crop name, harvest amount, moisture amount at the time of harvest, protein amount at the time of harvest) to the production management computer 33C. The job information and the crop information transmitted from the communication terminal 33A are stored in a management information storage unit 47 provided in the production management computer 33C.

In addition, when grain is harvested, as shown in fig. 6, the work of putting the grain harvested by the combine harvester 20 into the 1 st housing part 55 of the carrier 53, which is the carrier, is performed. The grains put in the 1 st storage part 55 are carried to a processing facility 60 such as a rice processing center by a transport vehicle 53. The 1 st housing member 55 is a container or the like.

In the production control system, it is possible to set which of the 1 st housing members 55 the grains containing the moisture content and the protein quality are placed. That is, in the crop management system, crop information (crop name, harvest amount, moisture amount at harvest time, protein amount at harvest time) and the 1 st housing unit 55 can be associated with each other.

Next, the correspondence between the crop information and the 1 st housing means will be described.

The crop information and the 1 st housing unit 55 are associated with each other using the communication terminal 33A or the like. The communication terminal 33A includes an identification acquisition unit 57 and a correspondence unit 58.

As shown in fig. 7, the display unit 56 of the communication terminal 33A can display a machine selection screen Q5 for selecting an agricultural machine such as the combine harvester 20. On the machine selection screen Q5, a list of combine names corresponding to all the combine harvesters 20 is displayed. When a predetermined combine name is selected on the machine selection screen Q5, the communication terminal 33A holds machine identification information corresponding to the selected combine name.

The identification acquisition unit 57 acquires identification information (referred to as housing identification information) for identifying the 1 st housing member 55. The storage identification information is constituted by a unique number or the like. The housing identification information is attached to the QR code (registered trademark) attached to the 1 st housing member 55. The recognition acquisition unit 57 is configured by a camera or the like, and reads a QR code (registered trademark) using an image to hold and store the recognition information. The association unit 58 associates the machine identification information corresponding to the combine name selected on the machine selection screen Q5 with the storage identification information indicating the 1 st storage member 55 acquired by the identification acquisition unit 57.

When the machine identification information and the storage identification information are associated with each other, the association unit 58 associates the harvest management information assigned for management with each other. The harvest management information is an ID code or the like, and is constituted by a unique number or the like. For convenience of explanation, the ID code used as the harvest management information is referred to as a shipment ID.

Therefore, as shown in fig. 8, it is possible to associate the machine identification information for identifying the combine harvester 20, which is the combine harvester 20 that harvests the grains, with the housing identification information for the 1 st housing member 55 that houses the grains harvested by the combine harvester 20. The relation between the predetermined combine harvester 20 and the predetermined 1 st housing member 55 can be extracted by the delivery ID.

The communication terminal 33A can associate a predetermined 1 st housing unit 55 with the moisture content and protein content of the grain housed in the 1 st housing unit 55. Various information is used to make the corresponding association. For convenience of description, the combine 20 selected on the machine selection screen Q5 is referred to as a selected combine, the machine identification information indicating the selected combine is referred to as selected identification information, the predetermined 1 st housing member 55 associated with the selected combine is referred to as a determination housing member, and the housing identification information indicating the determination housing member is referred to as determination identification information.

The correspondence relation unit 58 refers to the 2 nd storage unit 36 of the communication terminal 33A, and determines whether crop information in the grain harvested by the selected combine is present. For example, when crop information corresponding to selection identification information indicating that the combine harvester is selected is present in the 2 nd storage unit 36, it is determined that crop information is present in the grains harvested by the selected combine harvester. Here, when crop information is present, the correspondence association unit 58 extracts crop information (moisture content at harvest time, protein content at harvest time) in the grains stored in the determination storage means, using items (information on farmland, harvest date, work time, worker, machine, and the like) shown in the agricultural performance converted from the work plan, and time information (year, month, day, hour, and the like) which the communication terminal 33A has in advance. The correspondence association unit 58 extracts, for example, in the 2 nd storage unit 36, agricultural performance having the same date of harvest as the date on which the combine 20 and the 1 st storage unit 55 are selected on the machine selection screen Q5, and sets the water content and the protein amount corresponding to the extracted agricultural performance as parameters that the grains stored in the storage unit have in determining. That is, the correspondence association unit 58 associates the water content at the time of harvesting and the protein quality at the time of harvesting, which are extracted crop information, with the storage identification information indicating the determination of the storage means.

In the above embodiment, the determination storage means (storage identification information) and the crop information are associated with each other by referring to the 2 nd storage unit 36 of the communication terminal 33A, but the storage identification information and the crop information may be associated with each other by referring to the management information storage unit 47 of the production management computer 33C.

For example, the association unit 58 transmits items (information on farmlands, harvest dates, work hours, workers, machines, and the like) and selection identification information shown in the agricultural results converted from the work plan to the production management computer 33C as search keys. Then, the association unit 58 extracts crop information to be harvested by the selected combine from the management information storage unit 47 using the search key. The association unit 58 associates crop information extracted from the management information storage unit 47 with the determination storage means (storage identification information).

Therefore, as shown in fig. 9, by searching the 2 nd storage unit 36 or the management information storage unit 47, the storage identification information and the crop information (the harvest amount, the moisture amount at the time of harvesting, and the protein amount at the time of harvesting) can be associated with each other. The crop information and the storage identification information associated with each other are stored in the harvest information storage unit 48 provided in the production management computer 33C together with the harvest management information.

In addition to the association of the crop information with the predetermined 1 st housing unit 55, the work information (agricultural performance) may be associated with each other. For example, the communication terminal 33A may be connected to the production management computer 33C to extract agricultural performance (for example, a field to be harvested, a worker's name, and the like) corresponding to the crop information from the management information storage unit 47, and the extracted agricultural performance, the crop information, the storage identification information, and the harvest ID may be associated with each other and stored in the harvest information storage unit 48 as shown in fig. 10. The association between the storage identification information and the crop information is not limited to the above-described method.

As described above, according to the production management system, for example, it is possible to manage the planting plan of the crop, the operation plan of the agricultural work, the actual results of the agricultural work (operation information), the information on the harvest of the crop (crop information), and the like at a time.

Next, the crop management system is explained. Among crop management systems, there is a system for managing harvested crops (grains). Specifically, the crop management system is a system that manages the processing apparatus 60 that performs processing for the harvested crop (grain).

First, the processing apparatus 60 is explained.

As shown in fig. 11, the processing apparatus 60 has a dryer 61, a cooling tank 62, a huller 63, a conditioner 64, and a meter 65.

The dryer 61 is a device for drying grains. The dryer 61 includes an inlet 61A into which grains (rice) are introduced, a stock section 61B that temporarily stores the grains, a drying section 61C that supplies the grains stored in the stock section 61B and dries the supplied grains, a circulation section 61D, and a control section (referred to as a 1 st controller) 66A. The circulation unit 61D is a mechanism for conveying the grain introduced into the inlet 61A to the storage unit 61B, or returning the grain dried in the drying unit 61C to the storage unit 61B again.

The 1 st controller 66A is a device for controlling the dryer 61, and controls the drying temperature of the drying unit 61C, the circulation speed of the circulation unit 61D, and the like so that the moisture content and the protein quality of the grain after the completion of drying become predetermined target values.

The 1 st controller 66A can output operation information of the dryer 61 (referred to as drying operation information). For example, the 1 st controller 66A outputs an operation state (during feeding, during drying, or during stopping), a drying start time, a drying end time, a moisture content during drying (dry moisture content), a drying temperature, a weight of grain during drying (dry weight), and the like as the drying operation information.

Therefore, according to the dryer 61, the grains put into the inlet 61A (feed) are temporarily stored in the storage section 61B and supplied to the drying section 61C, so that the grains can be dried in the drying section 61C. Further, by returning the grains dried by the drying section 61C to the storage section 61B, the grains can be dried while circulating.

The cooling tank 62 is a tank that is cooled by storing the grains dried by the dryer 61 for a predetermined time. The huller 63 is a device for hulling the grain cooled by the cooling tank 62.

The preparation machine 64 is a device for preparing grains (such as brown rice) from which grains are hulled by the huller 63. In other words, the preparation machine 64 is a device capable of preparing the grains dried by the dryer 61.

The preparation machine 64 is a device for performing color inspection and color screening, and includes a color selector 67 for performing color screening on grains. The modulation device 64 also includes an appearance quality detector 68 for color inspection.

The color sorter 67 includes a 1 st hopper 67A, an imaging unit 67B, an injector 67C, and a control unit (2 nd controller) 66B. The 1 st hopper 67A is a part for receiving grains and dropping the grains. The imaging unit 67B is a device for imaging the falling grain, and the injector 67C recognizes the grain with a poor quality from the result of color sorting.

The 2 nd controller 66B is a device for controlling the color selector 67, and determines whether or not the color of the grain is not good, for example, from the grain image captured by the imaging unit 67B. That is, the 2 nd controller 66B detects damaged rice and stained rice damaged by stink bugs based on the color of the image of the grain picked up, and determines that the grain corresponding to the damaged rice and the stained rice is not good. When determining that the grain is defective or good, the 2 nd controller 66B outputs a command to blow off defective grain to the injector 67C.

The 2 nd controller 66B can output operation information of the color selector 67 (referred to as 1 st modulation operation information). For example, as the 1 st modulation operation information, the 2 nd controller 66B outputs a color selection result (color condition, good ratio, bad good ratio), a color start time, a color end time, and the like.

Therefore, by placing the grains in the 1 st hopper 67A according to the color sorter 67 and taking an image of the grains, the color of the grains can be selected from the image taken, and defective grains and good grains can be distinguished from each other.

The poor ratio is provided with a differential meter for measuring the weight (discharge weight) of the grain that has become poor after color sorting. Further, for example, by dividing the discharge weight by the weight of the grain (input weight) input to the color selector 67, a ratio of the defects can be obtained. Then, the ratio of good plasmids (yield) can be determined from the ratio of bad plasmids. The method of determining the yield is not limited to this. The good ratio and the bad ratio may be obtained by the operation management unit 74 described later. In this case, the amount of the added particles is preferably calculated as the total weight to be described later.

The appearance quality detector 68 is a device for performing color inspection of grains before being input to the color selector 67 or color inspection after being discharged from the color selector 67 (after color selection). The appearance quality tester 68 includes a measuring unit 68A and a control unit (3 rd controller) 66C. The measuring unit 68A is a device that measures the color tone of grain by, for example, imaging the falling grain.

The 3 rd controller 66C controls the appearance quality detector 68, and performs processing for obtaining a color tone from a captured image. The 3 rd controller 66C can output operation information (referred to as 2 nd modulation operation information) of the appearance quality detector 68. For example, as the 2 nd modulation operation information, the 3 rd controller 66C outputs the result of the color check, the measurement start time, the measurement end time, the measurement condition, and the like.

Therefore, according to the appearance quality detector 68, the color tone of the grain can be grasped in advance before the grain is thrown into the color selector 67, and the color tone of the grain after color selection by the color selector 67 can be confirmed.

The weighing device 65 measures the grain after the processing by the color sorter 67 and the like, and includes a 2 nd hopper 65A into which the grain is put, a base 65B provided at a lower portion of the 2 nd hopper 65A, a weighing portion 65C, and a control portion (4 th controller) 66D.

The 2 nd hopper 65A is a container for storing grains, and the base 65B is a table on which the 2 nd storage member 69 for storing grains is placed. The 2 nd accommodating member 69 is a container bag, a container, or the like. The weighing unit 65C is a device for measuring the weight of the grain put in the 2 nd storage member 69.

The 4 th controller 66D controls the meter 65, and performs processing related to the measurement result, the measurement start, the measurement end, and the like. The 4 th controller 66D can output the operation information (measurement operation information) of the meter 65. For example, the 4 th controller 66D outputs measurement results (e.g., shipment volume, number of bags, amount of bags), measurement start time, measurement end time, and the like as the measurement operation information.

As shown in fig. 1 and 11, the crop management system includes a crop management computer 70 configured by a server or the like. The crop management computer 70, the 1 st controller 66A, the 2 nd controller 66B, the 3 rd controller 66C, and the 4 th controller 66D are connected to each other via a network such as a LAN. Through this network, the crop management computer 70 and the controllers can transmit and receive data. For example, the crop management computer 70 stores operation information output from each controller or outputs various data to each controller. In addition, the crop management computer 70 can be connected to the production management computer 33C via an external network.

The crop management computer 70 includes a production information acquisition unit 71, an operation acquisition unit 72, an information output unit 73, and an operation management unit 74.

The production information acquisition unit 71 acquires data stored in the production management computer 33C. For example, when a predetermined grain is dried by the dryer 61, the production information acquisition unit 71 accesses the production management computer 33C and refers to the harvest information storage unit 54. The production information acquiring unit 71 acquires crop information and a delivery ID in which the storage identification information of the 1 st storage member 55 is associated with the storage identification information. The production information acquiring unit 71 may acquire information including agricultural performance (name of planting plan, farmland, etc.) in addition to the crop information.

The operation acquisition unit 72 is configured by electronic components, programs, and the like, and acquires various kinds of operation information from the 1 st controller 66A, the 2 nd controller 66B, the 3 rd controller 66C, and the 4 th controller 66D.

The information output unit 73 is configured by electronic components, programs, and the like, and outputs various kinds of information to the 1 st controller 66A, the 2 nd controller 66B, the 3 rd controller 66C, and the 4 th controller 66D.

The operation management unit 74 performs processing related to the processing device 60. As shown in fig. 12, the operation management unit displays a management screen Q8 on a display device connected to the crop management computer 70. The management screen Q8 is a screen on which information relating to the operation of the processing device 60 and the like are displayed. The management screen Q8 includes a delivery display unit 75A, a dry display unit 75B, a cool display unit 75C, a modulation display unit 75D, and a meter display unit 75E. The operation management unit 74 performs control related to display of the delivery display unit 75A, the dry display unit 75B, the cool display unit 75C, the modulation display unit 75D, and the meter display unit 75E.

The receipt display unit 75A displays the storage identification information and the crop information acquired by the production information acquisition unit 71. Specifically, the name of the 1 st housing member corresponding to the housing identification information and crop information of the grain put in the 1 st housing member are displayed on the dry display unit 75B. The delivery display unit 75A can also display information including the agricultural performance acquired by the production information acquisition unit 71.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 12, the receiving display unit 75A displays the name of the container, the name of the planting plan, the harvest amount, the moisture amount (moisture amount at harvest), the protein amount (protein amount at harvest), the farmland, and the recommended destination as the names of the 1 st housing member 55. The container name, the name of the planting plan, the harvest yield, the moisture content, the protein quality, and the farmland are information obtained from the production management computer 33C by the production information acquisition unit 71.

The operation management unit 74 obtains a recommended feed destination from the drying operation information obtained from the 1 st controller 66A, and displays the feed destination on the delivery display unit 75A. For example, it is assumed that, among 4 dryers, the dryer of the 3 rd dryer (referred to as the 3 rd dryer) is stopped and the dryer of the 4 th dryer (referred to as the 4 th dryer) is feeding. In this case, the operation management unit 74 recognizes that the machine No. 3 is stopped and the machine No. 4 is feeding based on the drying operation information.

Since the protein of the grain supplied to machine No. 3 is 7.2%, and the grain having substantially the same protein as the protein of the grain supplied to machine No. 3 is put in the container 01, container 03, container 04, and container 07, the operation management unit 74 can use machine No. 3 as a recommended destination of the supply to the container 01, container 03, container 04, and container 07. The operation management unit 74 also displays the No. 3 machine as the recommended destination in the receiving display unit 75A in the column of the feeding destinations of the container 01, the container 03, the container 04, and the container 07.

In the operation management unit 74, since the protein of the grain supplied to the machine No. 4 is 6.3%, the machine No. 4 is set as a recommended destination of the supply to the container 02 or the container 05 in which the grain having the protein is placed. The operation management unit 74 also displays the machine No. 4 as the recommended destination in the receiving display unit 75A in the column of the feeding destinations of the container 02 and the container 05. In the operation management unit 74, the machine No. 1 is in the drying state, and the machine No. 2 is on standby for discharge, and therefore is not a recommended feeding destination.

Therefore, since the recommended dryer 61 is determined based on the protein amount, grains having a relatively close protein amount can be fed to the dryer.

As shown in fig. 12, a decision button 78 for deciding the supply is displayed at the supply destination of the delivery display unit 75A. When the decision button 78 is selected, the operation management unit 74 sets the container corresponding to the decision button 78 as a member for feeding to the recommended destination, sets the harvest amount of the container as "feed amount", sets the moisture amount at harvest as "moisture amount at feed (feed moisture amount)", and sets the protein mass at harvest as "protein mass at feed (feed protein mass)".

The operation management unit 74 determines the total feed amount, feed water content, and feed protein amount during stoppage and feeding, based on the set feed amount, the set feed water content, and the set feed protein amount, and the feed amount, feed water content, and feed protein amount that have been put into the dryer 61.

The information output unit 73 outputs the total feed amount, the feed water amount, the feed protein amount, the number of the dryer, and the name of the container (storage identification information) to the 1 st controller 66A. The 1 st controller 66A displays the total feed amount, feed moisture amount, feed protein amount, dryer number, and container name on a display device provided in the dryer 61.

The dry display unit 75B displays the status of the dryer 61 and the like. Specifically, the dry display unit 75B displays the number of the dryer, the planting plan, the operation state (during feeding, during drying, during stopping, and the like), the remaining capacity (the available feeding amount) which is the capacity that can be fed to the dryer 61, the total feeding amount, the moisture amount (the feeding moisture amount, the dry moisture amount), the protein amount (the feeding protein amount, the dry protein amount), and the discharge destination as the status of the dryer 61. The operation state and the dry water content are the dry operation information obtained by the operation obtaining unit 72 from the 1 st controller 66A. The planting plan is information acquired by the production information acquiring unit 71. The total feed amount, the remaining capacity, and the discharge destination are information indicated by the result of calculation by the operation management unit 74. In this embodiment, the feed protein mass is set to the protein mass of the grain under drying (dry protein mass).

The operation management unit 74 calculates the remaining capacity.

The operation management unit 74 calculates the remaining capacity by subtracting the total feed amount from the maximum feed amount of the dryer 61 corresponding to the number of the dryer. The maximum supply amount of each dryer 61 is stored in advance in the crop management computer 70. In the dry display unit 75B, the operation management unit 74 displays the vertical axis of the graph in the section where the remaining capacity is displayed. The operation management unit 74 displays the maximum feed amount of the dryer 61 corresponding to the number of the dryer at the upper end of the vertical axis, zero at the lower end of the vertical axis, and the remaining capacity along the vertical axis.

Therefore, the operation managing unit 74 can determine the amount of material that can be supplied to the dryer (the remaining amount) from the grain harvest amount, the amount of material supplied to the dryer, and the maximum amount of material supplied to the dryer. In addition, since the feedable amount and the maximum feedable amount are displayed, the operator can easily determine whether or not the grains can be fed to the dryer. In particular, in the case where there are a plurality of dryers 61, the order of feeding the grains can be appropriately determined while observing the amount of the grains that can be fed.

The operation management unit 74 determines the discharge destination to discharge to the cooling tank 62 based on the protein amount of the grain stored in the cooling tank 62, and displays the discharge destination on the dry display unit 75B. For example, there are 4 cooling tanks 62. Here, when the protein content (cooled protein content) of the grain put into the cooling tank 62 of the 2 nd station is 7.3%, and the protein content (dried protein content) of the grain put into the machine No. 2 of the dryer 61 is 7.3%, the operation management unit 74 sets the cooling tank 62 of the 2 nd station as the discharge destination because the cooled protein content and the dried protein content are the same. From the crop information discharged from the dryer 61 to the cooling tank 62, the protein of the grain put into the cooling tank 62 is obtained.

Further, a determination button 78 for determining the discharge destination is displayed at the discharge destination of the dry display unit 75B. When the decision button 78 is selected, the operation management unit 74 discharges the grain from the dryer 61 corresponding to the decision button 78 to the cooling tank 62 of the discharge destination. The operation management unit 74 determines a drying conversion amount, which is the weight of the dried grain (the discharge amount to the cooling tank 62), from the total feed amount, the feed water content, and the dry water content. For example, the dry equivalent amount is determined by "dry equivalent amount (kg) × total feed amount (kg) - (feed water amount [% ] — dry water amount at the end of drying [% ] × total feed amount [ kg ]).

Therefore, the weight (dry equivalent) of the dried grain can be determined from the feed water content and the dry water content (dry water content). That is, even if no weight or the like is provided on the inlet side or the like of the cooling tank 62, the grain put into the cooling tank 62 can be grasped. The amount of grain to be charged into the huller 63 and the amount of grain to be charged into the preparation machine 64 can be determined using the dry conversion amount.

The operation management unit 74 sets the moisture amount (dry moisture amount) at the end of drying as the moisture amount (cooling moisture amount) of the grain put in the cooling tank 62, and sets the protein amount at the end of drying as the protein amount (cooling protein amount) of the grain put in the cooling tank 62.

The cooling display unit 75C displays the status of the cooling tank 62. Specifically, the cooling display unit 75C displays, as the status of the cooling tank 62, drying management information, a planting plan, a drying conversion amount, a cooling water content amount, a cooling protein quality, and the like. Further, the cooling display unit 75C displays the discharge destination.

The modulation display unit 75D displays the status of the modulator 64 and the like. Specifically, the modulation display unit 75D displays the drying management information, the planting plan, the grain refinement conversion amount, the number of the color selector, the operation state (color selection, stop, etc.), and the color selection result as the status of the modulator 64. The number of the color selector, the operation state, and the color selection result are the 1 st modulation operation information obtained by the operation obtaining portion 72 from the 2 nd controller 66B. In addition, the modulation display unit 75D displays the discharge destination. The drying conversion amount is information calculated by the operation management unit 74.

The operation management unit 74 obtains the converted amount of the whole granules that can be input to the color selector 67 from the dried converted amount. The operation management unit 74 obtains the converted amount of whole grains by, for example, "the converted amount of whole grains (kg) × the equivalent weight of rice husks to the weight of brown rice (divided rate of rice husks) (%)". Since the weight of the rice husk was about 15% relative to the weight of the brown rice, the removal rate of the rice husk was 0.85. The rate of removal of rice husk is not limited to the above value.

Therefore, the weight (grain size conversion) of the grain that can be fed to the preparation machine 64 after the treatment by the huller 63 can be grasped in advance. That is, even if no weight is provided on the inlet side of the preparation machine 64 or the like, the grains put into the preparation machine 64 can be grasped.

The meter display unit 75E displays the status of the meter 65. The meter display unit 75E displays, as the status of the meter 65, drying management information, a planting plan, a total bagging amount, shipping results (shipment amount, number of bags, bagging amount), and the like. The shipping result (shipping amount, number of bags, and bag amount) is the measurement operation information obtained by the operation obtaining unit 72 from the 4 th controller 66D.

As described above, the crop management computer 70 can manage the operation of the processing facility 60 and the like using the operation information (drying operation information, 1 st modulation operation information, 2 nd modulation operation information, and measurement operation information) obtained from each controller and the information (harvest amount, moisture amount at harvest, protein quality at harvest, and planting plan) obtained from the production management computer 33C.

In addition, in the processing device 60, when each process is performed, management information is assigned in correspondence with each process. Specifically, in the drying process in the dryer 61, the management information (drying management information) is distributed for each operation of the dryer 61. In the modulation process in the modulator 64, management information (modulation management information) is distributed for each operation of the modulator 64, and in the metering process in the meter 65, management information (metering management information) is distributed for each operation of the meter 65.

The drying management information, the preparation management information, and the measurement management information are represented by, for example, a lot number and an ID. The distribution of the drying management information, the preparation management information, and the measurement management information is performed by the crop management computer 70, and the lot number and the ID distributed to each controller are output.

The crop management computer 70 has a merge correlation establishment unit 80. The integrated association establishing unit 80 associates the operation information obtained from each controller, the result calculated by the operation managing unit 74, the information obtained by the production information obtaining unit 71, and the like. The merge association establishment unit 80 is configured by electronic components, programs, and the like.

As shown in fig. 13, the combination correlation establishing unit 80 correlates the drying operation information (the dry water content, the dry protein quality, the drying start time, the drying end time, and the drying weight) obtained from the 1 st controller 66A, the results (the feed water content and the feed protein quality) calculated by the operation managing unit 74, the information (the planting plan) obtained by the production information obtaining unit 71, and the like with the drying management information.

Specifically, the crop management computer 70 automatically issues a lot number as the drying management information before starting the operation of the dryer 61. For example, when the number of the dryer is determined by the determination button 78 of the delivery display unit 75A and the dryer 61 corresponding to the number is obtained from the 1 st controller 66A and the operation is started, the association establishing unit 80 associates the lot number determined to be issued with the drying information in the dryer 61 determined to be dried.

After the drying is started by the dryer 61, the obtained drying information and the lot number are linked and correlated until the drying is completed. After the operation of the dryer 61 is completed, the associated drying information and drying management information are stored in the information storage unit 81 provided in the crop management computer 70. The related drying information and drying management information are transmitted from the crop management computer 70 to the 1 st controller 66A and displayed on the display device of the dryer 61.

Therefore, since the drying management information and the drying information including the drying operation information are associated with each other, the operation of the dryer 61 can be managed in the operation unit (lot number) of the drying management information. For example, the dry water content, the dry protein mass, the drying start time, the drying end time, and the dry weight can be grasped in operation units, and these can be reflected on the adjustment device 64 and the weighing device 65 located downstream.

As shown in fig. 14, the combination correlation establishing unit 80 correlates modulation information and modulation management information relating to the modulator 64, such as the 1 st modulation operation information (operation state, color selection result, color selection start time, color selection end time) obtained from the 2 nd controller 66B, and the result (drying conversion amount) calculated by the operation managing unit 74.

Specifically, the crop management computer 70 automatically issues the lot number as the modulation management information before the operation of the modulation device 64 (color selector 67) is started. For example, when the number of the color selector is determined by the determination button 78 shown in the cooling display unit 75C and the operation of the color selector 67 corresponding to the number is obtained from the 2 nd controller 66B, the association between the lot number determined to be issued by the association establishing unit 80 and the modulation information in the color selector 67 that determines the color selection is combined. Then, after the color sorting is started by the color sorter 67, the obtained modulation information and the lot number are linked and associated with each other until the color sorting is completed. After the operation of the color selector 67 is completed, the associated modulation information and modulation management information are stored in the information storage unit 81. The related modulation information and modulation management information are transmitted from the crop management computer 70 to the 2 nd controller 66B, and are displayed on the display device of the modulator 64 (color selector 67).

Therefore, since the modulation management information and the modulation information including the modulation operation information are associated with each other, the operation of the modulator 64 can be managed in the operation unit of the modulation management information. For example, the operation state, the color selection result, the color selection start time, the color selection end time, and the like can be grasped in operation units, and these can be reflected on the meter 65 located downstream or fed back to the dryer 61 located upstream or the like.

Further, as shown in fig. 15, the combination correlation establishing unit 80 correlates the measurement operation information (the shipment volume, the number of bags, the bag filling volume, the measurement start time, and the measurement end time) obtained from the 4 th controller 66D with the measurement management information.

Specifically, the crop management computer 70 automatically issues a lot number as the modulation management information before the operation is started by the meter 65. Then, for example, when the crop management computer 70 acquires the operation information for starting the operation from the 3 rd controller 66C after selecting the decision button 78 shown in the meter display unit 75E, the integrated association establishing unit 80 determines the association between the issued lot number and the measurement information. Then, after the metering is started by the metering machine, the association and the correlation between the metering information and the lot number obtained before the end of the metering are continued. After the operation of the meter 65 is completed, the associated measurement information and measurement management information are stored in the information storage unit 81. The correlated modulation information and modulation management information are transmitted from the crop management computer 70 to the 4 th controller 66D and displayed on the display device of the meter 65.

Therefore, since the metering management information and the modulation information including the metering operation information are associated with each other, the operation of the meter 65 can be managed in the unit of operation of the metering management information. For example, the shipment amount, the number of bags, the bag amount, the measurement start time, and the measurement end time can be grasped and fed back to the modulation device 64 located upstream, the dryer 61 located upstream, and the like.

In addition, in the processing apparatus 60, the processing of the grains is performed in the order of the dryer 61, the preparation machine 64 (e.g., the color sorter 67), and the meter 65. Here, when a device located on the downstream side performs processing, the merge association establishing unit 80 associates upstream management information and downstream management information of a device located on the upstream side.

When the cereal dried by the dryer 61 corresponding to the drying management information is modulated by the modulation machine 64, the integrated association establishing unit 80 associates the drying management information, which is one of the upstream management information, with the modulation management information, which is one of the downstream management information.

As shown in fig. 16, in detail, the crop management computer 70 associates a lot number issued before the start of drying in the dryer 61 with a lot number in the dryer 61 for drying the grain fed to the color sorter 67 (a lot number determined for each operation of the dryer 61).

As described above, since the cooling tank 62 and the color selector 67 can be selected as the discharge destination by the determination button 78 after the predetermined drying is completed, the lot number determined for each operation of the dryer 61 and the lot number determined for each operation of the color selector 67 can be easily associated with each other. Then, the associated drying management information and modulation management information are stored in the information storage unit 81. The related drying management information and modulation management information can be displayed on the display device of the crop management computer 70.

Therefore, since the drying information when the grains put into the modulation machine 64 are dried can be obtained by using the drying management information as a search key before modulation, the modulation machine 64 can be set and the like in accordance with the operation performance of the drying machine 61. When the preparation is performed by the preparation machine 64, it is possible to check how the dryer 61 is operated in operation units.

The integrated association establishing unit 80 may associate the drying management information, which is one of the upstream management information, with the metering management information, which is one of the downstream management information, when the metering is performed in the metering device 65 with respect to the grain dried during the operation of the dryer 61 corresponding to the drying management information.

Specifically, the crop management computer 70 associates a lot number issued before the start of drying in the dryer 61 with a lot number in the dryer 61 for drying the grain put into the meter 65 (a lot number determined for each operation of the dryer 61). As described above, since the cooling tank 62, the color selector 67, and the meter 65 can be selected as the discharge destination by the determination button 78 after the predetermined drying is completed, the lot number determined for each operation of the dryer 61 and the lot number determined for each operation of the meter 65 can be easily associated with each other. Then, the associated drying management information and metering management information are stored in the information storage unit 81. The related drying management information and metering management information can be displayed on the display device of the crop management computer 70.

For example, the metering device 65 may be shipped in units of 30kg, and the dryer 61 may be dried in several tons (e.g., 6 tons). Therefore, the weighing machine 65 is 200 batches for 1 batch of the dryer 61. In the present invention, since the drying management information and the measurement management information are associated with each other, the correspondence relationship can be grasped even if the processing units (lot numbers) differ in each process. That is, when the metering is performed by the metering device 65, it is possible to check how the dryer 61 is operated in operation units.

In addition, the merge correlation establishment unit 80 may associate modulation management information, which is one of the upstream management information, with measurement management information, which is one of the downstream management information, when the measurement is performed on the grain, which is modulated by the modulation machine 64 corresponding to the modulation management information, by the measurement device 65.

Specifically, the crop management computer 70 associates a lot number issued before measurement by the meter 65 with a lot number in the color sorter 67 (a lot number determined for each operation of the color sorter 67) for color sorting the grain put into the meter 65. As described above, since the meter 65 to be the discharge destination of the grain from the color selector 67 can be selected by the determination button 78 after the predetermined color selection is completed, the lot number determined for each operation of the meter 65 and the lot number determined for each operation of the color selector 67 can be easily associated with each other. The associated modulation management information and measurement management information are stored in the information storage unit 81. The associated modulation management information and measurement management information can be displayed on the display device of the crop management computer 70.

Therefore, when the measurement is performed by the meter 65, it is possible to check how the color selector 67 is operated in operation units.

As described above, the production management information (job information and crop information) can be managed by the production management computer 33, and information related to processing and the like in the processing device 60 can be managed by the crop management computer 70, and by linking them, processing in the processing device 60 can be performed using the production management information, particularly the crop information.

In the processing device 60, at least information in the dryer 61, the preparation device 64, and the meter 65 can be shared with each other, and information such as operations in each process can be reflected in other processes.

[ 2 nd embodiment ]

Embodiment 2 shows a modification of the crop management computer 70. The same structure as that of embodiment 1 will not be described.

As shown in fig. 17, the crop management computer 70 includes a comprehensive relationship establishing unit 83 in addition to the integrated relationship establishing unit 80. The integrated association establishing unit 80 associates various information of each process of the processing device 60, and the integrated association establishing unit 83 associates production management information obtained from the production management computer 33C with various information of each process.

Specifically, the integrated correlation establishing unit 83 associates the production management information (work information, crop information) with the management information (drying management information, modulation management information, and measurement management information) assigned for each operation. The integrated association establishing unit 83 is configured by electronic components, programs, and the like.

A process of associating the drying management information, the drying information, the work information, and the crop information will be described.

As described above, when the number of the dryer is determined by the determination button 78 of the delivery display unit 75A, the integrated association establishing unit 83 holds the harvest management information (delivery ID) associated with the 1 st housing member 55 corresponding to the determination button 78 and the crop information of the grain put into the 1 st housing member 55.

When the drying management information (lot number) and the drying information are linked by the merge correlation establishing unit 80, the integrated correlation establishing unit 83 associates the harvesting management information (receiving ID), the drying management information (lot number), and the drying information, which are held in advance, with each other independently of the merge correlation establishing unit 80.

The integrated association establishing unit 83 is connected to the harvest information storage unit 48, and extracts the work information and the crop information including the agricultural performance associated with the shipment ID, using the stored harvest management information (shipment ID) as a search key. Then, as shown in fig. 18, the integrated association establishing unit 83 associates the operation information including the extracted agricultural performance, the crop information, and the harvest management information (delivery ID) with the dryness management information and the dryness information. The related drying management information, drying information, work information, crop information, and harvest management information are stored in the integrated information storage 84 provided in the crop management computer 70. The integrated association establishing unit 83 may associate the harvest management information and the dryness management information and store only the association in the integrated information storage unit 84.

Therefore, since the drying operation information, the operation information, and the crop information are associated with each operation of the dryer 61, the result of drying by the dryer 61, the result of the agricultural operation, and the state of the crop at the time of harvesting can be compared. For example, the dry moisture content and the dry protein mass can be grasped with respect to the moisture content and the protein mass at the time of harvesting in a farm field.

The operation information related by the integrated association establishing unit 83 may be any of a point of cultivation, a day of cultivation, a point of fertilizer application, a day of fertilizer application, a fertilizer name, a fertilizer application amount, a point of pesticide application, a pesticide application day, a pesticide name, a pesticide application amount, a point of harvest, an operator name, and agricultural machinery, or may be other information. Preferably, the operation information includes at least a place of harvesting. The crop information associated by the integrated association establishing unit 83 may be any of the crop name, the harvest amount, the water content at the time of harvest, and the protein quality at the time of harvest, or may be other information.

The integrated correlation establishing unit 83 also correlates the modulation information, the modulation management information, the work information, and the crop information. For example, when the drying management information and the modulation management information are associated with each other, the integrated association establishing unit 83 previously transfers the work information and the crop information associated with the drying management information, and associates the transferred work information and crop information with the modulation management information. Then, the associated modulation information, modulation management information, work information, and crop information are stored in the integrated information storage unit 84.

Therefore, since the modulation operation information, the operation information, and the crop information are associated with each other for each operation of the modulator 64, the result of color selection performed by the modulator 64, the result of agricultural operation, and the state of the crop at the time of harvesting can be compared. For example, the result of color sorting (ratio of good to bad) with respect to the farmland, the amount of fertilizer applied, and the amount of pesticide applied can be grasped.

The integrated association establishing unit 83 also associates the measurement information, the measurement management information, the work information, and the crop information. For example, when the dryness management information and the measurement management information are associated with each other, the integrated association establishing unit 83 accepts the work information and the crop information associated with the dryness management information in advance, and associates the accepted work information and crop information with the measurement management information. Then, the associated measurement information, measurement management information, work information, and crop information are stored in the integrated information storage unit 84.

Therefore, since the measurement operation information, the operation information, and the crop information are associated with each operation of the meter 65, the measurement result by the measuring machine 64, the result of the agricultural operation, and the state of the crop at the time of harvesting can be compared. For example, the measurement results (delivery amount, number of bags, amount of bags) for the farmland, the amount of fertilizer applied, and the amount of pesticide applied can be grasped.

In the agricultural management system, since various information on each process of the processing device 60 can be associated with the production management information obtained from the production management computer 33C, the production of agricultural products can be reevaluated and improved by comparing the information. That is, the state of the crop can be traced back to the agricultural work at the time of growing the crop and the state of the crop at the time of harvesting. In addition, the processing device can be set by referring to the work information and the crop information obtained when the processing device 60 is operated. The state of the crops during the farming operation and the harvesting operation can be traced to each time of the work of the processing equipment.

In addition, in the processing apparatus 60, before the color sorting of the grains is performed in the color sorter 67 or after the color sorting of the grains is performed in the color sorter 67, the color inspection is performed with the appearance quality detector 68. Specifically, a sample of the grain is collected before the grain is put into the color sorter 67, and color inspection is performed by the appearance quality inspection instrument 68.

The operation acquisition unit 72 acquires a color result (referred to as a preliminary result) of a color inspection (referred to as a preliminary inspection) performed before the color sorting of grains. The operation acquisition unit 72 acquires a color result (post-inspection result) of a color inspection (hereinafter referred to as post-inspection) performed after the color selection of the grain. For example, the operation acquisition unit 72 acquires an image of grains captured as a result of color, or ratios of damaged grains, bad rice, stained grains, heterogeneous grains, and foreign matter to the sample.

The crop management computer 70 displays the previous results on a display device. In addition, the crop management computer 70 associates the post-inspection result with the 1 st adjustment operation information including the modulation management information and the color selection result. After the correlation, the inspection result, the modulation management information, and the 1 st adjustment operation information including the color selection result are stored in the quality management storage unit 85.

Therefore, for example, since the color result can be obtained by the appearance quality detector 68 before the color selection is performed in the color selector, the color selector 67 can be set according to the color result. Further, since the color result can be obtained by the appearance quality detector 68 after the color selection is performed in the color selector 67, the color result can be fed back, which can contribute to the setting of the next color selector 67.

The crop management computer 70 includes a rank acquisition unit 87 and a rank association establishment unit 88. The grade obtaining unit 87 obtains the grade of the grain after the color inspection. The rank acquisition unit 87 acquires ranks (1, etc., 2, etc., 3, etc., out of specification) performed after the measurement by the meter 65. For example, as shown in fig. 19, the rank acquisition unit 87 displays a 1 st input screen Q4 for inputting the measurement management information (lot number) and the rank on a display device 89 connected to the crop management computer 70. By inputting the rank to the portion corresponding to the metering management information on the 1 st input screen Q4, the rank can be obtained.

The level association unit 88 associates the level acquired by the level acquisition unit 87 with the 1 st adjustment operation information including the color selection result. For example, the level correlation establishing unit 88 extracts the modulation management information correlated with the measurement management information, and further extracts the 1 st adjustment operation information including the color selection result correlated with the modulation management information. Then, the rank association establishing unit 88 associates the 1 st adjustment operation information including the extracted color selection result with the rank.

Here, since the color selection result and the post-inspection result (color result obtained by the appearance inspection meter) are associated with each other, the rank association creation unit 88 associates the rank, the color selection result (1 st adjustment operation information), and the post-inspection result with each other by using this point. That is, the rank association establishing unit 88 performs a process of associating the rank with the color selection result (1 st adjustment operation information), the post-inspection result, and the modulation management information associated in advance. Then, the rank, the post-inspection result, the color selection result, and the modulation management information are stored in the quality management storage unit 85.

Therefore, the color result and the color selection result for the gradation can be grasped. Therefore, if the color result is obtained in advance before the color selection in the color selector 67, the color selection can be performed in consideration of which level the color result is to be set to. For example, since the operator obtains the color result in advance, the operator can grasp the state of the grain (brown rice) before color selection. Here, the previously obtained scale and color result and the previously obtained color result can be compared with each other, and it can be simulated at which scale the current grain is shipped before being processed in the screening machine 67. For example, before the screening by the screening machine 67, the control of the grade such as increase in the factory amount although the grade is lowered or increase in the grade although the factory amount is reduced can be performed.

As described above, the modulation management information and the production management information (work information and crop information) are associated with each other by the integrated association establishing unit 83. Therefore, the rank association creation unit 88 refers to the integrated information storage unit 84, and extracts the production management information (work information and crop information) associated with the modulation management information as a search key. The rank association unit 88 associates the extracted production management information (job information and crop information) with the rank, post-inspection result, and color selection result associated in advance. The rank association establishing unit 88 extracts a farm field as a place where harvesting is performed and an agricultural performance related to agricultural work from the production management information, and associates the farm field and the agricultural performance, the rank, the color sorting result, and the color result. The grade, the post-inspection result, the color sorting result, the modulation management information, the farmland and the agricultural performance are stored in the quality management storage unit 85.

Therefore, it is possible to grasp the grade, the color result, and the color selection result for the farmland, and to confirm what grade of rice (brown rice) is obtained in a predetermined farmland. Further, it is possible to grasp the grade, the coloring result, and the color sorting result for the agricultural field and the agricultural performance, and it is possible to confirm what grade of rice (brown rice) is obtained by what kind of agriculture is performed in which agricultural field.

[ embodiment 3 ]

Fig. 20 shows an agricultural management system according to embodiment 3. The same configurations as those in embodiment 1 and embodiment 2 will not be described.

As shown in fig. 20, the agricultural management system includes a production management computer 33C and a crop management computer 70. The production management computer 33C has a management information storage unit 47, and can output the production management information (job information, crop information) stored in the management information storage unit 47 to the outside. The production management information includes, as operation information, for example, a place of cultivation, a date of cultivation, a place of fertilizer application, a date of fertilizer application, a fertilizer name, a fertilizer application amount, a place of pesticide application, a date of pesticide application, a pesticide name, a pesticide application amount, a place of harvest, an operator name, and an agricultural machine. As the crop information, for example, a crop name, a harvest amount, a moisture amount at the time of harvesting, and a protein amount at the time of harvesting are stored. The work information and the crop information are data obtained by changing the data and the work plan transmitted from the communication terminal 33A to the agricultural performance, as in embodiment 1.

The crop management computer 70 has a quality management storage unit 85, and can output data stored in the quality management storage unit 85 to the outside. The quality management storage unit 85 stores the grade, the post-inspection result (color inspection performed after color selection of grain), the color selection result, and the modulation management information. The association of the rank, the post-inspection result, the color selection result, and the modulation management information is the same as that in embodiment 1.

The agricultural management system has an information acquisition computer. The information acquisition computer is a computer capable of acquiring production management information and quality information. Specifically, the information acquisition computer is a communication terminal 33A (computer for farm worker) assigned to the farm worker and held by the farm worker. The information acquiring computer may be a personal computer (administrator computer 33B) assigned to an administrator.

Hereinafter, the production management information and the quality information are acquired by the information acquisition computer. The information acquiring computer is explained as the communication terminal 33A.

The information acquiring computer (communication terminal) 33A includes an information acquiring unit 90. The information acquisition unit 90 is composed of electronic components, programs, and the like. The information acquiring unit 90 acquires quality information.

As shown in fig. 21, in detail, the information acquisition unit 90 displays a 2 nd input screen Q7, on which necessary items for obtaining quality information are input, on the communication terminal 33A. For example, information such as measurement management information (lot number) and a manufacturing management number can be input to the 2 nd input screen Q7.

When the necessary items input to the 2 nd input screen Q7 are determined, the information acquiring unit 90 requests the communication terminal 33A to connect to the production management computer 33C. The communication terminal 33A is connected to the production management computer 33C in response to a request for connection from the information acquiring unit 90. After the communication terminal 33A is connected to the production management computer 33C, the information acquisition unit 90 requests the production management computer 33C for quality information, and transmits necessary items input to the 2 nd input screen Q7 to the management computer.

The production management computer 33C further includes a quality acquisition unit 91. The quality acquisition unit 91 is composed of electronic components, programs, and the like. The quality acquisition unit 91 acquires quality information stored in the crop management computer 70.

When the quality information is requested from the information acquiring unit 90 (the communication terminal 33A), the quality acquiring unit 91 acquires the quality information corresponding to the required items from the crop management computer 70 based on the required items transmitted from the communication terminal 33A.

Specifically, upon receiving the request for quality information transmitted from the communication terminal 33A, the quality acquisition unit 91 requests the production management computer 33C to connect to the crop management computer 70. The production management computer 33C is connected to the crop management computer 70 in accordance with the connection request from the quality acquisition unit 91. After the production management computer 33C is connected to the crop management computer 70, the quality acquisition unit 91 requests the crop management computer 70 for quality information and refers to the quality management storage unit 85. The quality acquisition unit 91 extracts the quality information from the quality management storage unit 85 using necessary items (measurement management information, manufacturing management numbers, and the like) as a search key. The quality acquiring unit 91 transmits the acquired quality information to the communication terminal 33A that has a request for the quality information. The information acquiring unit 90 acquires the quality information transmitted from the quality acquiring unit 91 (production management computer 33C). The acquired quality information is displayed on the communication terminal 33A.

The information acquiring unit 90 can also acquire production management information (job information and crop information). In this case, at least the measurement management information and the manufacturing management number are input on the 2 nd input screen Q7. When receiving the measurement management information and the manufacturing management number transmitted from the information acquisition unit 90 (the communication terminal 33A), the production management computer 33C requests the delivery ID corresponding to the measurement management information and the manufacturing management number.

The crop management computer 70 refers to the information storage unit 81, and extracts the drying management information corresponding to the measurement management information and the manufacturing management number using the measurement management information and the manufacturing management number as search keys. Then, the crop management computer 70 refers to the general information storage unit 84, and extracts the delivery ID using the dryness management information as a search key. The crop management computer 70 transmits the extracted delivery ID to the production management computer 33C. The production management computer 33C refers to the harvest information storage unit 48, and extracts production management information (work information and crop information) using the shipment ID as a search key. The production management information (job information, crop information) extracted by the production management computer is transmitted to the communication terminal 33A.

Therefore, the information acquisition computer can acquire the production management information and the quality information, and therefore, for example, the correlation between the quality of the grain at the time of shipment and the production of the grain in a farmland, agricultural work, or the like can be grasped, and various items from the time of shipment of the grain can be analyzed. That is, production management information relating to the production of grains and quality information relating to the quality of grains can be effectively utilized.

For example, a producer of an agricultural product (grain) can obtain production management information and quality information using an information acquisition computer, and re-evaluate a plan related to production of the agricultural product while referring to the quality information. Further, the consumer who purchases agricultural products can confirm the production and quality by obtaining the production management information and the quality information using the information acquisition computer.

Only by connecting the information acquisition computer to the production management computer 33, quality information not possessed by the production management computer can be obtained. That is, the quality information can be obtained without connecting the information acquisition computer to the crop management computer 70. Further, even after the production management information and the quality information are acquired, the quality information corresponding to the production management information can be acquired without sorting the production management information and the quality information.

[ 4 th embodiment ]

Embodiment 4 shows a modification of acquisition of production management information and quality information. Descriptions of the same configurations as those of embodiments 1 to 3 will be omitted.

The production information acquisition unit 71 provided in the crop management computer 70 acquires production management information. Specifically, when the necessary items to be input to the 2 nd input screen are determined, the information acquiring unit 90 requests the communication terminal 33A as the information acquiring computer to connect to the crop management computer 70. The communication terminal 33A is connected to the crop management computer 70 in response to a request for connection from the information acquisition unit 90. After the communication terminal 33A is connected to the production management computer 33C, the information acquiring unit 90 requests the production management information from the crop management computer 70, and transmits necessary items input to the 2 nd input screen to the management computer.

Specifically, upon receiving a request for production management information transmitted from the communication terminal 33A, the production information acquisition unit 71 refers to the information storage unit 81, and extracts the drying management information corresponding to the metering management information and the manufacturing management number, using the necessary items (the metering management information and the manufacturing management number) input to the 2 nd input screen as a search key. The production information acquisition unit 71 refers to the general information storage unit 84, and extracts the shipment ID using the drying management information as a search key. The production information acquiring unit 71 is connected to the production management computer 33C, refers to the harvest information storage unit 48, and extracts production management information (work information and crop information) based on the extracted delivery ID. The crop management computer 70 (production information acquisition unit 71) transmits the extracted production management information (job information, crop information) to the communication terminal 33A that requests the production management information. The information acquiring unit 90 acquires the production management information transmitted from the crop management computer 70 (production information acquiring unit 71). The acquired production management information is displayed on the communication terminal 33A.

Therefore, production management information not possessed by the crop management computer 70 can be obtained simply by connecting the information obtaining computer to the crop management computer 70. That is, the production management information can be obtained without connecting the information acquisition computer to the production management computer 33.

The information acquiring unit 90 can also acquire quality information. The crop management computer 70 has a quality output unit. The quality output unit is composed of electronic components, programs, and the like. When receiving a request for quality information transmitted from the communication terminal 33A, the quality output unit refers to the quality management storage unit 85, and extracts the quality information using necessary items (measurement management information and manufacturing management number) input to the 2 nd input screen as a search key. The quality output unit transmits the extracted quality information to the communication terminal 33A which has a request for the quality information.

Therefore, even after the production management information and the quality information are acquired, the quality information corresponding to the production management information can be acquired without sorting the production management information and the quality information.

The quality association establishing unit 93 is constituted by electronic components, programs, and the like. The quality association establishing unit 93 associates the production management information with the quality information, and is substantially the same as the rank association establishing unit 88. That is, the quality association establishing unit 93 associates, as the work information, for example, a place (farm field) where harvesting is performed, other agricultural performance, a grade, a color sorting result, and a color result.

The information acquisition unit 90 requests the crop management computer 70 for quality information, operation information associated with the quality information, and the like. The crop management computer 70 (quality output unit) refers to the quality management storage unit 85, and extracts quality information and operation information using necessary items (measurement management information and manufacturing management number) as search keys. The quality output unit transmits the extracted quality information to the communication terminal 33A which has a request for the quality information.

Therefore, the quality information corresponding to the production management information can be acquired only by connecting the information acquisition computer to the crop management computer 70. That is, even if the information acquisition computer is not connected to both the production management computer 33 and the crop management computer 70, the production management information and the quality information can be acquired. Further, even after the production management information and the quality information are acquired, the quality information corresponding to the production management information can be acquired without sorting the production management information and the quality information.

Therefore, the color result and the color selection result for the gradation can be grasped. For example, the color result is obtained in advance before color selection by the color selector, and the color selection can be performed in consideration of what level is set based on the color result.

The computer includes a production information acquisition unit for acquiring a field from which grains are harvested, and a rank association unit associates a rank, a color selection result, a color result, and the field acquired by the production information acquisition unit. Therefore, the farmland, the grade, the color sorting result and the color result can be associated. Therefore, the grade, the color result, and the color selection result with respect to the farmland can be grasped, and it can be confirmed what grade of rice (brown rice) is obtained in a predetermined farmland.

In an agricultural management system, a production information acquisition unit acquires work information including a farm field and an agricultural performance, and a rank association unit associates a rank, a color selection result, a color result, the farm field, and the agricultural performance. Therefore, the farmland, the agricultural performance, the grade, the color sorting result and the color result can be associated.
