Problems to be solved by the invention
In recent years, preventive maintenance has been increasingly emphasized as an inverse concept to conventional trouble maintenance (a method of taking a measure after a trouble). In the case of preventive maintenance, the time to take measures such as the replacement time is set in advance, and for example, parts are replaced at a certain timing when the time arrives, thereby reducing the failure rate during use. Such an operation is desirable because the influence of the downtime due to the failure is very large.
However, the invention described in patent document 1 aims to collect field information such as updating of a piping diagram, and the purpose is not preventive maintenance. Further, according to the invention described in patent document 1, the on-site position (the arrangement position of the polyethylene pipe) is detected using GPS or the like, and when the polyethylene pipe is arranged in equipment or a machine tool in a factory or the like, it is difficult to detect the arrangement position of the polyethylene pipe.
In contrast, according to the invention described in patent document 2, it is possible to record required information in an information tag for use in replacing a pipe or ordering a new pipe.
However, the invention described in patent document 2 is not used to associate the arranged tube with the equipment or machine in which the tube is arranged in the database. Therefore, it is difficult to manage the individual hoses configured in the equipment or machine; for example, preventive maintenance of individual hoses deployed in equipment or machinery is difficult.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a management system of hoses for building a database comprising information associating hoses with equipment or machines in relation to individual hoses configured in the equipment or machines and for enabling handling of various problems caused by the relationship between hoses and equipment or machines. In addition, herein, the term "hose" refers not only to a single hose or a single coupler mounted to a hose, but also to a hose and a coupler connected together.
Means for solving the problems
A management system of a hose according to the present invention comprises: an information tag mounted to a hose configured in an equipment or machine, the information tag storing individual hose information including at least one of identification information of the hose, association information for associating the hose with the equipment or machine, and other information; a terminal capable of reading or writing the individual hose information in the information tag by a non-contact method and capable of inputting and outputting the individual hose information; and an information processing apparatus, wherein the information processing apparatus includes: an input part to which the individual hose information in the information tag is input, a storage part storing a database of information including the identification information, the association information, and the other information, and a controller for updating the information in the database based on the individual hose information from the input part. Here, the term "equipment" refers to equipment configured indoors or outdoors, and may refer to a piping infrastructure in a plant as an example. Further, the term "machine" refers to a machine equipped with a hose, and a machine tool (such as an industrial robot or the like) for machining and a construction machine for civil engineering and construction can be cited as examples. With the management system of hoses according to the present invention, a database including information associating hoses with equipment or machines can be built with respect to individual hoses configured in the equipment or machines, and various problems due to the relationship between hoses and equipment or machines can be handled.

With the management system of hoses according to the present invention, it is preferable that the individual hose information in the information tag and the individual hose information stored in an information processing apparatus connected via a network are collated with each other at the input portion. Here, "mutual collation" is to compare the individual hose information in the information tag and the individual hose information stored in the information processing apparatus with each other. In this case, the individual hose information can be input to the controller from the other information processing apparatus, and the information in the database can be updated with high accuracy.
With the management system of a hose according to the present invention, preferably, other information processing apparatus is connected to the network, the information processing apparatus is one of three information processing apparatuses of a client-side information processing apparatus, a seller-side information processing apparatus, and a manufacturer-side information processing apparatus, the other information processing apparatus is the remaining two information processing apparatuses of the three information processing apparatuses, and the database is sharable with at least one of the client-side information processing apparatus, the seller-side information processing apparatus, and the manufacturer-side information processing apparatus. In this case, information on order and the like can be smoothly exchanged between three parties including a customer, a seller, and a manufacturer.
With the management system of hoses according to the present invention, it is preferable that the controller calculates at least one of the number of replacements and the replacement cycle of an individual hose configured in the equipment or the machine for the hose based on the individual hose information from the input part and the information in the database. In this case, the durability of the hose can be grasped for the individual hoses arranged in the equipment or the machine.
With the hose management system according to the present invention, it is preferable that the controller acquires, for an individual hose arranged in the equipment or the machine, a previous replacement time at which the hose was replaced and a replacement cycle of the hose based on the individual hose information from the input section and the information in the database, and issues an alarm to at least one of the terminal, the information processing apparatus, the client-side information processing apparatus, the seller-side information processing apparatus, and the manufacturer-side information processing apparatus before the replacement cycle elapses from the previous replacement time or when the replacement cycle elapses from the previous replacement time. In this case, the frequency of failure of the hose can be grasped for the individual hoses arranged in the equipment or the machine, and the stock shortage can be prevented by issuing a warning about the stock shortage in advance.

For example, the total number of hoses calculated by adding the number of spare hoses to the required number of hoses may be given as an appropriate stock of hoses. In this case, an inventory of the appropriate number of hoses can be maintained for each hose configured in the equipment or machine.
With the management system of hoses according to the present invention, it is preferable that the controller acquires an inventory number of an individual hose configured in the equipment or the machine for the hose based on the individual hose information from the input section and the information in the database, and in a case where the inventory number is equal to or less than a certain number, the controller issues an alarm to at least one of the terminal, the information processing apparatus, the client-side information processing apparatus, the seller-side information processing apparatus, and the manufacturer-side information processing apparatus. In this case, it is possible to prevent in advance a shortage of stock of hoses for individual hoses arranged in equipment or a machine.
With the management system of hoses according to the present invention, preferably, the controller automatically orders at least one of the seller-side information processing apparatus and the manufacturer-side information processing apparatus for an individual hose configured in the equipment or the machine.

In this case, for an individual hose configured in the equipment or machine, it is possible to prevent the hose from being repeatedly ordered. Further, instead of at the manufacturer or seller, an inventory of hoses may be maintained at the customer, because if the manufacturer or seller is notified of the replacement of the hose, the timing of replenishment of the inventory may be made clear.
With the management system of hoses according to the present invention, identification information of a hose is input to the input part, and the controller grasps the record of the hose using the identification information of the hose, and records the date/time of the examination and the individual information of the hose. In the case where an abnormality is found in the state of the hose, the date/time of the inspection is recorded, and the replacement cycle of the hose connected to the device or machine can be grasped.
With the management system of the hose according to the present invention, preferably, the terminal and the information processing apparatus may be integrated. In this case, it is not necessary to remotely transmit information from the terminal, and the information processing apparatus can directly process the information by the operation of the terminal.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, a management system of a hose according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the structure of a management system 100 for hoses according to an embodiment of the present invention. The management system 100 builds a database including information associating the hose 10 with the equipment or machine for individual hoses 10 configured in the equipment or machine, and enables handling of various problems due to the relationship between the hose 10 and the equipment or machine.
In the present embodiment, the hose 10 is a pressure hose configured in the pipe infrastructure of the customer's plant. In the present embodiment, the hose 10 includes a hose main body 11 and two coupling metal fittings 12. The coupling metal fittings 12 are each fixed to an end of the hose body 11 by a fixing method such as crimping or the like.
The management system 100 basically includes an information tag 1, a terminal 2 and an information processing apparatus 3. In the present embodiment, the management system 100 further includes information processing apparatuses 4, 5, and 6.
The information tag 1 is attached to a hose 10 of a customer, and individual hose information is stored in the information tag 1. The individual hose information includes identification information of the hose 10, association information associating the hose 10 with equipment or machinery, and other information.
Here, the term "identification information" is information for identifying the hose 10 itself. As the identification information, a product ID number may be cited. In the present embodiment, the product ID number is a number associated with information for identifying a product, such as a product number or a product name. Further, the term "associated information" refers to information that identifies individual hoses 10 configured in an equipment or machine based on the relationship between the hose 10 and the equipment or machine. For example, as the related information, an arrangement position number indicating an arrangement position of the hose 10 assigned based on a relationship with a position of a predetermined portion of the equipment or the machine, or a sequence number assigned when a plurality of hoses 10 are arranged from a predetermined position in the equipment or the machine may be cited. Further, the term "other information" refers to information other than the identification number and the associated information. As other information, for example, there can be cited: inspection time information indicating an inspection time when the hose 10 is inspected; configuration time information indicating a configuration time when the hose 10 is configured; replacement time information indicating a replacement time when the hose 10 is replaced; an assigned stock number that makes it possible to grasp the stock number of the hose 10; or for accessing a database in which information on the hose 10 is stored (saved), and retrieving information on the hose 10 stored in the database.
The individual hose information in the information tag 1 can be read by a non-contact method. As a specific example of the information tag 1, a barcode tag, a QR code (QR) code may be cited
) (QR code is a registered trademark of japan, other countries, or both) tags, other two-dimensional tags, IC tags, and the like. As specific examples of the IC tag, an RFID tag and an NFC tag can be cited. In the present embodiment, the information tag 1 is an IC tag. With the IC tag, information can be read even in the case where the IC tag is contaminated, as compared with other information tags such as a barcode tag. For example, in the present embodiment, the information tag 1 is an RFID tag having a long communication range. In this case, the information may be read from a remote location. Further, the RFID tag may be an active type that emits information radio waves, or a passive type that does not emit information radio waves. In the present embodiment, the information tag 1 does not include electricityA passive RFID tag of the source. In this case, power can be saved. In addition, an RFID tag having a short communication range may be used. In this case, it is different from a QR code (QR)
) The stain does not attract attention, and furthermore, unlike the case of the RFID tag having a long communication range, reading of unnecessary data relating to the surrounding hose can be prevented.
The terminal 2 is a terminal capable of reading or writing the individual hose information in the information tag 1 by a non-contact method, and capable of inputting and outputting the individual hose information.
The terminal 2 is used by the customer. As specific examples of the terminal 2, a barcode tag reader, a QR code tag reader, an IC tag reader, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, and the like may be cited. Further, as specific examples of the IC tag reader, an RFID reader and an NFC reader may be cited. In the present embodiment, the terminal 2 is an RFID reader. Further, in the present embodiment, the RFID reader is an RFID reader (reader/writer) capable of rewriting individual hose information in the information tag 1. The RFID reader/writer can read and rewrite the individual hose information in the information tag 1 by radio waves emitted from the RFID reader/writer. In the present embodiment, the terminal 2 includes a display section 2a for displaying the individual hose information read from the information tag 1 and an input section 2b for rewriting the individual hose information in the information tag 1.
In the present embodiment, the information tag 1 is an IC tag, and the terminal 2 is a reader/writer. In this case, the individual hose information in the plurality of information tags 1 can be read at a time by holding the terminal 2 over a wide area.
As shown in fig. 2, the information processing apparatus 3 includes an input section 3a, a storage section 3b, a controller 3c, an output section 3d, and a display section 3 e.
In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 3 is used by a manufacturer (a hose manufacturer in the present embodiment). As a specific example of the information processing apparatus 3, a computer such as a server or a personal computer may be cited. In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 3 is a server.
The individual hose information in the information tag 1 is input to the input section 3 a.
The input section 3a inputs/outputs data (i.e., individual hose information) read from the information tag 1 to the controller 3 c. As a specific example of the input section 3a, an input/output interface and a main storage (main memory) may be cited. The output unit 3d outputs the calculation result processed by the controller 3c and the data stored in the storage unit 3b to the outside. As a specific example of the output section 3d, an input/output interface and a main storage (main memory) may be cited.
The database is stored in the storage unit 3 b. The information in the database includes identification information, association information, and other information.
As a specific example of the storage section 3b, an auxiliary storage device such as a hard disk or the like can be cited. A part of the storage area of the storage unit 3b may be a database storage area.
In the present embodiment, the storage section 3b includes an individual database of the hoses 10 for the individual hoses 10 arranged at predetermined sites of the equipment or machine based on the association information, and individually manages the identification information and other information of the hoses 10 in the database. Further, information in each database may be shared between the databases as information associated with the associated information.
The controller 3c updates the information in the database based on the individual hose information from the input 3 a.
As a specific example of the controller 3c, a CPU may be cited.
In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 3 is connected to a network via an input section 3 a. The network is a wireless or wired communication network. Further, as shown in fig. 1, in the present embodiment, an information processing apparatus (another information processing apparatus) 4 and an information processing apparatus (still another information processing apparatus) 5 are connected to a network. In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 4 is a personal computer. Further, in the present embodiment, an input or output from the terminal 2 is input to the information processing apparatus 3 via the cloud, for example. Thus, the individual hose information in the information tag 1 can be input from the terminal 2 to the information processing apparatus 3. In addition, input or output from the terminal 2 may be input to the information processing apparatus 4. Thus, the individual hose information in the information tag 1 can be input from the terminal 2 to the information processing apparatus 3 via the information processing apparatus 4.
Further, in the present embodiment, at the input part 3a of the information processing apparatus 3, the individual hose information in the information tag 1 and the individual hose information stored in the information processing apparatus 4 are collated with each other via the information processing apparatus 4 connected to the network. Here, "mutual check" is to check the individual hose information in the information tag 1 and the individual hose information stored in the information processing apparatus 4 against each other. Thus, in the present embodiment, the information in the database held in the information processing apparatus 3 can be updated based on the individual hose information in the information tag 1 and the individual hose information input in the information processing apparatus 4. In this case, since the individual hose information can also be input from the information processing apparatus 4, the information in the database can be updated more accurately. In addition, in the present embodiment, the individual hose information may also be input from the information processing apparatus 5 by using a keyboard or the like.
In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 3 is a maker-side information processing apparatus. However, according to the present invention, the information processing apparatus 3 may be any one of three information processing apparatuses including a client-side information processing apparatus, a seller information processing apparatus, and a manufacturer-side information processing apparatus. Further, the information processing apparatus 4 is a client-side information processing apparatus. Further, in the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 5 is connected to a network. In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 5 is a personal computer. Further, the information processing apparatus 5 is a seller-side information processing apparatus. Therefore, the database can be shared with at least one of the client-side information processing apparatus, the seller-side information processing apparatus, and the manufacturer-side information processing apparatus. In this case, information on order and the like can be smoothly exchanged between three parties including a customer, a seller, and a manufacturer.
Further, in the present embodiment, the controller 3c of the information processing apparatus 3 may calculate at least one of the replacement number and the replacement cycle of the hose 10 for the individual hose 10 arranged at a predetermined part of the equipment or the machine based on the individual hose information from the input part 3a and the information in the database. In this case, the durability of the hose 10 can be grasped for the individual hoses 10 arranged at predetermined portions of the equipment or the machine. In addition, as described above, the installation time or removal time of the hose for counting the number of times of replacement or the replacement cycle may be input by the terminal 2, or may be directly manually input to the information processing apparatus 3 by using a keyboard or the like.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the replacement information acquiring operation of the information processing apparatus 3 according to the present embodiment. The process in fig. 3 is started as a trigger by inputting the individual hose information in the information tag 1 to the input section 3a of the information processing apparatus 3.
The controller 3c acquires the individual hose information in the information tag 1 from the input part 3a (step 101). In the present embodiment, in the individual hose information, for example, the identification number, the arrangement position number of the hose 10 as the related information, and the replacement time information as other information are acquired.
Next, the controller 3c acquires information in the database from the storage unit 3b (step 102). In the present embodiment, for example, based on the association information acquired from the input section 3a, the identification number, which is the identification number of the hose 10 arranged at the predetermined portion of the equipment or machine and which is stored in the database associated with the hose 10, and the replacement time information, which is the previous replacement time information and which is stored in the database, are acquired from the database associated with the association information.
Then, the controller 3c acquires at least one of the number of replacements and the replacement cycle of the hose 10 arranged at the predetermined part of the equipment or the machine, based on the individual hose information in the information tag 1 acquired from the input part 3a and the information acquired from the database (step 103).
In the present embodiment, for example, by comparing the identification number acquired from the input unit 3a with the identification number acquired from the database associated with the hose 10, it is possible to determine whether or not the hose 10 arranged at a predetermined portion of the equipment or the machine has been replaced. Alternatively, the determination may be made based on the replacement time information acquired from the input unit 3 a. When the identification number acquired from the input unit 3a does not match the identification number acquired from the database, it is determined that a different hose 10 is disposed at the same location of the equipment or the device, and the hose 10 disposed at the location is replaced. The number of times of replacement of the hose 10 can be calculated by counting the number of times the hose 10 is determined to be replaced.
In the present embodiment, the replacement cycle of the hose 10 can be calculated by storing the determination that the hose 10 is replaced as the previous replacement time in the database, and by measuring the time until it is determined that the hose 10 is newly replaced. In this embodiment, the replacement cycle of the hose 10 may be stored in the database as information in the database.
Further, in the present embodiment, the controller 3c of the information processing apparatus 3 acquires, for the individual hoses 10 arranged in the equipment or machine, the previous replacement time when the hose 10 was replaced and the replacement cycle of the hose 10 based on the individual hose information from the input section 3a and the information in the database, and in the case where the replacement cycle has elapsed since the previous replacement time, the controller 3c may issue an alarm to at least one of the terminal 2, the information processing apparatus 3 (manufacturer-side information processing apparatus), the information processing apparatus 4 (client-side information processing apparatus), and the information processing apparatus 5 (seller-side information processing apparatus). In this case, the failure frequency of the hose 10 can be grasped for the individual hose 10 configured in the equipment or the machine, and further, the stock shortage can be prevented by issuing an alarm related to the stock shortage in advance.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the alert/order operation of the information processing apparatus 3 according to the present embodiment. The process of fig. 4 is started as a trigger by inputting the individual hose information in the information tag 1 to the input section 3a of the information processing apparatus 3.
The controller 3c acquires the individual hose information in the information tag 1 from the input part 3a (step 201). In the present embodiment, in the individual hose information, for example, the identification number, the arrangement position number of the hose 10 as the related information, and the replacement time information as other information are acquired.
Next, the controller 3c acquires information in the database from the storage unit 3b (step 202). In the present embodiment, for example, based on the association information acquired from the input section 3a, the identification number, which is the identification number of the hose 10 arranged at the predetermined portion of the equipment or machine and which is stored in the database associated with the hose 10, and the replacement time information, which is the previous replacement time information and which is stored in the database, are acquired from the database associated with the association information.
Then, the controller 3c acquires the previous replacement time at which the hose 10 was replaced and the replacement cycle of the hose 10 with respect to the hose 10 arranged at the predetermined portion of the equipment or machine, based on the individual hose information in the information tag 1 acquired from the input part 3a and the information acquired from the database (step 203). In the present embodiment, the previous replacement time and replacement cycle may be calculated in the same manner as in step 102 of fig. 3.
Then, the controller 3c determines whether or not the replacement cycle has elapsed since the previous replacement time (step 204). In the present embodiment, for example, by measuring the time from the previous replacement time calculated from the replacement time information acquired from the input unit 3a until the time point at which the information is currently input from the input unit 3a, and by comparing the time with the replacement cycle, it is possible to determine whether or not the replacement cycle has elapsed since the previous replacement time. In this case, if the time is longer than the replacement cycle, it is determined that the replacement cycle has elapsed since the previous replacement time.
When it is determined that the replacement cycle has elapsed since the previous replacement time, the controller 3c issues an alarm to at least one of the terminal 2, the information processing apparatus 3 (manufacturer-side information processing apparatus), the information processing apparatus 4 (client-side information processing apparatus), and the information processing apparatus 5 (seller-side information processing apparatus) (step 205). In the present embodiment, for example, the controller 3c may cause a display portion of at least one of the terminal 2, the information processing apparatus 3, the information processing apparatus 4, and the information processing apparatus 5 to display a color alarm. In addition, in the present embodiment, the display portion 3e of the information processing apparatus 3 is an image display connected to the personal computer 6 of the information processing apparatus 3. The display portions of the information processing apparatus 4 and the information processing apparatus 5 are also image displays.
In a case where it is determined that the replacement cycle has elapsed since the previous replacement time, optionally, in addition to or instead of issuing the alarm, the controller 3c automatically orders the hose 10 arranged at the predetermined portion of the equipment or machine to at least one of the information processing apparatus 3 (manufacturer-side information processing apparatus) and the information processing apparatus 5 (seller-side information processing apparatus) (step 205). In this case, the hose 10 is ordered before stock shortage occurs for the individual hose 10 arranged at a predetermined part of the equipment or machine, and stock shortage can be prevented. In addition, in the present embodiment, in the case where it is determined that the replacement cycle has not elapsed since the previous replacement time, the warning/ordering operation of the information processing apparatus 3 is ended.
Further, in the present embodiment, the required number of hoses 10 per unit time period can be calculated for each hose 10 configured in the equipment or machine, according to the information on the replacement cycle. In this case, a wider range of options may be provided with respect to subsequent management. For example, in the present embodiment, the appropriate stock amount of the hoses can be calculated based on the required number of hoses 10 per unit time period. For example, the total number of hoses calculated by adding the number of spare hoses to the required number of hoses may be given as an appropriate stock of the hoses 10. In this case, an inventory of an appropriate number of hoses 10 may be maintained for each hose 10 configured in the equipment or machine.
Further, in the present embodiment, the controller 3c of the information processing apparatus 3 may acquire the stock quantity of the hoses 10 for the individual hoses 10 arranged at the predetermined parts of the equipment or the machine based on the individual hose information from the input part 3a and the information in the database, and in the case where the stock quantity is equal to or less than a certain quantity, the controller 3c may issue an alarm to at least one of the terminal 2, the information processing apparatus 3 (manufacturer-side information processing apparatus), the information processing apparatus 4 (client-side information processing apparatus), and the information processing apparatus 5 (seller-side information processing apparatus). In this case, it is possible to prevent a stock shortage of the hoses 10 in advance for the individual hoses 10 arranged at predetermined portions of the equipment or the machine.
Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing other examples of the alert/order operation of the information processing apparatus 3 according to the present embodiment. The process of fig. 5 is started as a trigger by inputting the individual hose information in the information tag 1 to the input section 3a of the information processing apparatus 3.
The controller 3c acquires the individual hose information in the information tag 1 from the input part 3a (step 301). In the present embodiment, in the individual hose information, for example, an identification number, a placement position number of the hose 10 as the related information, and an inventory number as other information are acquired.
Next, the controller 3c acquires information in the database from the storage unit 3b (step 302). In the present embodiment, for example, based on the association information acquired from the input section 3a, an identification number, which is an identification number of the hose 10 arranged at a predetermined portion of the equipment or machine and which is stored in the database associated with the hose 10, and an inventory number, which is an inventory number of the hose 10 and which is stored in the database associated with the hose 10, are acquired from the database associated with the association information.
Then, the controller 3c acquires the stock quantity of the hoses 10 for the hoses 10 arranged at the parts of the equipment or the machine based on the individual hose information in the information tag 1 acquired from the input part 3a and the information acquired from the database (step 303). In the present embodiment, the stock number of the hoses 10 can be calculated from the stock number acquired from the input part 3 a. Then, when configuration in equipment or a machine is performed, the stock number is cleared, a configuration position number based on the configuration position is assigned, and the database is rewritten.
Then, the controller 3c determines whether the stock quantity of the hoses 10 is equal to or less than a certain quantity (step 304). In the present embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the stock number of the hoses 10 is equal to or less than a certain number by comparing the stock number acquired from the input part 3a with a predetermined stock number stored in advance in a database.
In a case where it is determined that the stock quantity is equal to or less than the specific quantity, the controller 3c issues an alarm to at least one of the terminal 2, the information processing apparatus 3, the information processing apparatus 4, and the information processing apparatus 5 (step 305). In the present embodiment, the controller 3c issues the same alarm as the alarm in step 205 to at least one of the terminal 2, the information processing apparatus 3, the information processing apparatus 4, and the information processing apparatus 5.
In the case where it is determined that the stock quantity is equal to or less than the specific quantity, optionally, the controller 3c orders the hose 10 arranged at the predetermined portion of the equipment or machine automatically to at least one of the information processing apparatus 3 (manufacturer-side information processing apparatus) and the information processing apparatus 5 (seller-side information processing apparatus) in the same manner as in step 205, in addition to or instead of issuing the alarm (step 305). In this case, the hose 10 is ordered before stock shortage occurs for the individual hose 10 arranged at a predetermined part of the equipment or machine, and stock shortage can be prevented. In addition, in the present embodiment, in the case where it is determined that the stock number is not equal to or less than the specific number, the alert/order operation of the information processing apparatus 3 is ended.
Further, in the present embodiment, desirably, the controller 3c of the information processing apparatus 3 acquires the previous replacement time and the replacement cycle of the hose 10 when replacing the hose 10 for the individual hose 10 arranged at the predetermined part of the equipment or machine based on the individual hose information from the input section 3a and the information in the database, determines the hose 10 that needs to be replaced before the replacement cycle elapses from the previous replacement time, and issues a prior notice to at least one of the terminal 2, the information processing apparatus 3 (manufacturer-side information processing apparatus), the information processing apparatus 4 (client-side information processing apparatus), and the information processing apparatus 5 (seller-side information processing apparatus). In this case, a repair plan may be pre-established for individual hoses 10 deployed at predetermined locations of the equipment or machine prior to replacement of the hoses 10.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the advance notice operation of the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment. The process of fig. 6 is started as a trigger by inputting the individual hose information in the information tag 1 to the input section 3a of the information processing apparatus 3.
The controller 3c acquires the individual hose information in the information tag 1 from the input part 3a (step 401). In the present embodiment, the acquisition of the individual hose information from the input section 3a is performed in the same manner as in step 201 of fig. 4.
Next, the controller 3c acquires information from the database (step 402). In the present embodiment, the acquisition of information from the database is performed in the same manner as in step 202 of fig. 4.
Then, the controller 3c acquires the previous replacement time of the replacement hose 10 and the replacement cycle of the hose 10 for the hose 10 arranged at the site of the equipment or machine, based on the individual hose information in the information tag 1 acquired from the input unit 3a and the information acquired from the database (step 403). In the present embodiment, the previous replacement time and replacement cycle may be calculated in the same manner as in step 203 of fig. 4.
Then, the controller 3c determines that the hose 10 needs to be replaced in advance before the replacement cycle elapses from the previous replacement time (step 404). In the present embodiment, for example, by measuring the time from the previous replacement time calculated from the replacement time information acquired from the input section 3a until the time point at which the information is currently input from the input section 3a, and by comparing this time with the replacement cycle, it is possible to determine whether the replacement cycle has not elapsed since the previous replacement time in the same manner as in step 204 of fig. 4. In this case, when the time is shorter than the replacement cycle, it is determined that the replacement cycle has not elapsed since the previous replacement time. In addition, in a case where it is determined that the replacement cycle does not elapse before the previous replacement time, it is assumed that the replacement cycle elapses from the previous replacement time, and an alarm or an automatic order is issued to at least one of the terminal 2, the information processing apparatus 3, the information processing apparatus 4, and the information processing apparatus 5 (step 407). In this embodiment, the issuance of an alarm or automatic ordering is performed in the same manner as in step 205.
Next, the controller 3c judges that the hose 10 needs to be replaced in advance (step 405). In the present embodiment, the determination is made based on whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous replacement time. When it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed since the previous replacement time, it is determined that the hose 10 needs to be replaced in advance. The predetermined time is, for example, a time which is shorter than a replacement cycle set in advance and which can be set appropriately.
In a case where it is determined that the hose 10 needs to be replaced in advance, the controller 3c issues an advance notice to at least one of the terminal 2, the information processing apparatus 3 (manufacturer-side information processing apparatus), the information processing apparatus 4 (client-side information processing apparatus), and the information processing apparatus 5 (seller-side information processing apparatus). In addition, when it is not determined that the hose 10 needs to be replaced in advance, the controller 3c does not issue advance notice.
Further, in the present embodiment, the controller 3c of the information processing apparatus 3 desirably issues a notification regarding the individual hose 10 arranged at a predetermined part of the equipment or machine based on the individual hose information from the input section 3a and the information in the database to notify at least one of the information processing apparatus 3 (manufacturer-side information processing apparatus) and the information processing apparatus 5 (seller-side information processing apparatus) that the hose 10 is replaced. For example, as in step 205 of fig. 4, the notification may be issued by causing the display portion of at least one of the information processing apparatus 3 and the information processing apparatus 5 to display, for example, a color. In this case, it is possible to prevent the hose 10 from being repeatedly ordered for the individual hoses 10 arranged at predetermined portions of the equipment or machine.
Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the notification operation of the information processing apparatus 3 according to the present embodiment. The process of fig. 7 is started as a trigger by inputting the individual hose information in the information tag 1 to the input section 3a of the information processing apparatus 3.

In the present embodiment, in the individual hose information, for example, the identification number and the arrangement position number of the hose 10 as the related information are acquired.
Next, the controller 3c acquires information in the database from the storage unit 3b (step 502). In the present embodiment, for example, based on the association information acquired from the input section 3a, an identification number, which is an identification number of the hose 10 arranged at a predetermined portion of the equipment or machine and which is stored in the database associated with the hose 10, is acquired from the database associated with the association information.
Then, the controller 3c determines whether or not the hose 10 is replaced with respect to the individual hose 10 arranged at the predetermined part of the equipment or the machine, based on the individual hose information in the information tag 1 acquired from the input unit 3a and the information acquired from the database (step 503). In the present embodiment, for example, it is determined whether or not the replacement of the hose 10 is performed in the same manner as in step 102 of fig. 3.
When it is determined that the replacement of the hose 10 is performed, the controller 3c notifies at least one of the information processing apparatus 3 (manufacturer-side information processing apparatus) and the information processing apparatus 5 (seller-side information processing apparatus) that the replacement is performed (step 504). Further, in a case where it is not determined that the replacement of the hose 10 is performed, the controller 3c ends the notification operation.
