Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spare parts transaction system for equipment maintenance using a network such as the Internet, and a server device used for the system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is an essential condition that operating equipment for production lines and distribution in factories, and operating equipment such as air conditioning installed in factory buildings always operate normally. Therefore, the consumables and various parts used in these operating facilities require regular maintenance (inspection, repair, replacement).

[0003] In addition, if replacement or repair of parts is performed after an event such as a failure occurs, it takes time and effort to arrange the parts, so that the operation of the operating equipment must be stopped, which hinders production and distribution. Resulting in. In order to prevent such a situation from occurring, the department in charge of maintenance of operating equipment, etc. prepares spare parts and equipment (hereinafter referred to as "spare parts") in advance and responds to unexpected situations. I am trying to do it.

On the other hand, spare parts may not be available due to production suspension or the like, whereas production equipment and operating equipment in factories generally operate for a relatively long period of time (for example, several decades). On the other hand, it is necessary to manage spare parts in consideration of the unexpected situation.

[0005]

However, it is difficult to anticipate all unexpected situations, and there may be cases where there are no spare parts at hand or the number of spare parts is insufficient due to some circumstances. In this case, the manager or the person in charge of the equipment has to contact the maker or the agent by telephone or the like, and to carry out processing such as inquiry of the type and stock of the spare part and notification of the delivery.

In addition, the conventional management method for spare parts (1) cannot predict failure, so having spare parts for all parts and fixtures causes a great management cost. (2) The same model number Instead of managing spare parts all at once,
It may be managed for each production line or department,
There is also a problem in that the same spare part is managed twice, resulting in unnecessary costs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a system for arranging spare parts which can eliminate the burden of managing spare parts, which is costly, and can flexibly cope with unexpected situations.

[0008]

A system according to the present invention comprises an operation terminal of a user related to a spare part for equipment maintenance, and information on the spare part owned by the user which is connected to the operation terminal via a communication line. And a transaction for the spare part based on the information provided by the server device.

The server device is composed of a computer or the like which can communicate with an operation terminal via a communication line. The operation terminal includes a personal computer or a portable information terminal having a communication function.

[0010] In an embodiment of the spare parts transaction system of the present invention, when a registration request for a spare part owned by a user is transmitted from the operation terminal, the server part regards the spare part according to the registration request as a spare part inventory. When a search request for a specific spare part is transmitted from the operation terminal and the spare part inventory registration means to be registered, information on the spare part corresponding to the search request is searched from the spare part stock, and the information is stored in the operation terminal. A spare part inventory search means to be sent; a purchase agent means for performing a spare part purchase procedure according to the purchase request when a purchase request for a specific spare part in the spare part inventory is transmitted from the operation terminal; and a spare part. And a delivery requesting unit for performing a spare part delivery request process for receiving the spare part from a user who owns the spare part and delivering the spare part to the user who issued the purchase request.

[0011] In one embodiment of the spare parts transaction system of the present invention, only users who are registered in advance as members can provide information on spare parts and make transactions. Therefore, the server device has a member authentication registration unit that receives the member registration request transmitted from the operation terminal, and registers the user who issued the request as a member when the member registration request satisfies a predetermined condition. It is configured to provide information on spare parts only to a user registered as a user. In this case, it is preferable that the server device includes a member information storage unit that stores the individual information of the user registered as a member, and a monitoring unit that monitors the information stored in the member information storage unit one by one. Further, the server device is a facility information registration unit that collects and registers information on the facilities of the user registered as a member, and a spare unit that reserves a spare part based on the information on the facilities registered in the facility information registration unit. It is preferable to include an article reservation unit.

[0012] When a registration request for a spare part owned by a user is transmitted from the operation terminal, the server used in the spare part transaction system of the present invention registers the spare part according to the registration request as a spare part inventory. When a search request for a specific spare part is transmitted from the operation terminal and the spare part inventory registering means, information on the spare part corresponding to the search request is searched from the spare part inventory, and the information is sent to the operation terminal. A spare part inventory search means, a purchase agent means for performing a spare part purchase procedure related to the purchase request when a purchase request for a specific spare part in the spare part inventory is transmitted from the operation terminal; And a delivery requesting unit for receiving a spare part from the owning user and performing a spare part delivery request process for delivering the spare part to the user who has issued the purchase request.

[0013]

According to the present invention, information on spare parts owned by a user is transmitted by a server device (for example,
(In the form of a spare part list), the user who needs the spare part can connect the operation terminal to the server device via a communication line to determine what kind of spare part can be purchased, etc. It can be known when needed or in advance (eg, before a shortage of spares occurs). For this reason, the labor and time required for the administrator and the person in charge of the facility to quickly find the location of the necessary spare parts and to consult with the supplier are greatly reduced. In addition, for a user who has surplus spare parts, grasping the stock as information on spare parts enables efficient inventory management and provides an opportunity to sell spare parts to other users. In addition, it is possible to reduce the cost burden required for the maintenance and management of the equipment.

For example, a user who suddenly needs a spare part searches for the spare part based on information provided by the server device and obtains or places an order from the user who owns the spare part via the server device. be able to. On the other hand, if the user owns the spare part, an opportunity to send the information of the spare part to the server device and to provide the information to another user is given.

The present invention can also be applied to a "company LAN" or an "office LAN" using an intranet or the like. In the former case, for example, when a spare part is suddenly required in a facility of a certain business place, the spare part is obtained by obtaining information (for example, a spare part list) provided by the server device, and the spare part is stored in another business place. Can be procured from
In the case of the latter, when an unexpected situation occurs in a certain production line facility in one business office and a spare part is needed in a hurry, it is prepared for another production line based on the information provided by the server device. Spare parts can be procured. In this way, it is also possible to exchange spare parts between a plurality of business establishments of one company or between a plurality of departments within one business establishment. In these cases, each office or department of the company is a user related to the spare parts for equipment maintenance.

According to the present invention, as described above, a transaction form in which spare parts are exchanged between users is realized. Therefore, it is not necessary for each user to have an excessive stock of spare parts, and waste such as one company managing the same spare parts in duplicate can be avoided.

Further, according to the server device of the present invention, a user who needs a spare part connects the operation terminal to the server apparatus, searches for the spare part, and if there is a corresponding part, sends a purchase request for the spare part. Just by transmitting, the process of obtaining spare parts is automatically processed. As a result, even if a spare part is needed in a hurry, a lot of trouble in purchasing the spare part can be omitted, and the spare part can be easily procured.

The user of the system of the present invention is not limited to a specific user such as a business operator using spare parts for equipment maintenance. Therefore, a system for performing transactions between users satisfying the condition (1), ensuring the security of transactions (security).

When the server device is provided with the member information storage means and the stored information monitoring means, dangerous transactions and the like can be avoided beforehand by monitoring each member's individual information. The member's individual information is, for example,
This is the status or history of payments and past transactions.

[0020] Further, information on member facilities is registered,
If the purchase reservation of the spare part is made based on the registration information, the spare part can be managed in anticipation, so that the spare part management cost can be more efficiently reduced. The information on the member's equipment includes, for example, the average number of operating days of the equipment, the environmental conditions of the installation location, the main failure results (part name, manufacturer name, model number, number of days after operation, the cause of the failure, the measures taken, The date of replenishment and the replenished quantity), the planned purchase (planned purchase date, planned purchase quantity), and the like.

The most appropriate delivery company is selected from the delivery company list (FIG. 9). Then, it requests the delivery company to receive the spare part from the user who is the owner of the spare part and deliver the spare part to the user who is the purchaser. At this time, the delivery requesting means 10 executes processing for sending out a bill of the purchase fee and the delivery fee to the user who is the purchaser.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the delivery company list. Upon receiving the member information such as the address and name of the user who is the provider of the designated spare parts and the user who is the purchaser, the delivery request means 10 automatically selects the most appropriate delivery company from the delivery company list. It is configured to be. Although three delivery companies are listed here, quick delivery is possible by forming tie-ups with delivery companies in various parts of the country.

After sending the purchase fee and the delivery fee invoice to the buyer, the expense payment agent means 11 registers the buyer's registered payment method, payment conditions, payment account (financial institution name, book (branch) store name, Account number) is confirmed with reference to the member information database 4b, and thereafter, the payment status is confirmed. Then, the expense payment acting means 11 registers the confirmed payment status in the "member individual information list" in the member information database 4b as needed.

FIG. 10 shows an example of the “member individual information list”. This "member individual information list" is configured to be referred to at any time by the fee payment agent means 11 and to be able to confirm the payment status of each member (payment of dues due, unpaid delivery fee, etc.).

As described above, the server device 1 provides the spare part information held by the user to other users via the network 3 and plays a role as an intermediary for buying and selling spare parts between the users. It has the function of distributing spare parts that have only been set aside.

The operation cost of the service provided by the server device 1 is covered by membership fees from members, transaction fees, delivery fees, and the like. By placing an advertisement on a WWW site, the existence of the service can be widely spread.

As described above, by providing surplus or unnecessary spare part information to other users via the network 3, an opportunity to sell the wasteful inventory on hand to other users can be obtained. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the cost burden required for the maintenance of the equipment. In addition, since the information is disclosed as spare part information, each user does not need to have excessive spare part stock, and there is no waste of one company managing the same spare part twice. I can do it.

Also, the spare parts manufacturer can indirectly perform sales simply by registering its own product inventory in the spare parts inventory database 4a as spare part information, which is also convenient for the manufacturer. Good.

Further, the server apparatus 1 performs a more efficient spare part management by adding a service that can exchange information with a system that collects operation data and the like of equipment owned by each user and performs a failure prediction of the equipment. be able to.

The processing is executed.

The purchase schedule entered on the equipment diagnosis prediction information (purchaser) page is the purchase date and quantity of the spare parts to be purchased in the near future, and this information is transmitted to the server device 1. For example, the spare part reservation means 14 executes a process of making a reservation reservation for a spare part. That is, by registering in advance the time and quantity of spare parts desired, the user who purchases spare parts can reserve necessary items in advance. In this way, by making a reservation for purchase of a spare part, it is not necessary to strictly manage the time when the spare part runs out. Further, spare parts can be managed in anticipation, and spare parts can be managed more efficiently. In addition, the user who supplies the spare parts can make a prediction as to when the spare parts can be prepared by knowing in advance the time and quantity of the spare parts purchased by the spare part purchaser. As a result, spare parts can be managed more efficiently.

On the other hand, a user who is a supplier of spare parts, such as a manufacturer, registers when and how many spare parts can be supplied. This is performed through the “equipment diagnosis prediction information (provider)” page (FIG. 12) linked by clicking the “provider” button 22b of the “equipment diagnosis prediction information service” on the HP.
