  In the sheet creation step, a corrugated cardboard 31 is manufactured by the corrugator 31 as shown in FIG. Specifically, the corrugator 31 is supplied with a base paper composed of a core paper and a liner. The corrugator 31 is stepped on the core paper and bonded to the liner, then creases in the longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction) and cut in the longitudinal and lateral directions to produce a corrugated cardboard sheet. Corrugated cardboard sheets are roughly classified into those sent to the box making process and those sent to the delivery process and delivered to customers who order cardboard sheets.

  In the box making process, the cardboard sheets created by the corrugator 31 are distributed by the distributor 32 and sent to the respective box makers 33A to 33D. Each of the box making machines 33A to 33D commercializes a folded sheet-like cardboard case by printing, ruled, punching, folding, etc. on the cardboard sheet sent from the distributor 32. The commercialized cardboard cases are collected in units of tens of sheets (batch) and sent to the palletizing process.

  In the palletizing process, productized cardboard cases sent from the box making process are loaded on the pallet by the palletizing robots 34A to 34D. In this case, the palletizing robots 34A to 34D stack cardboard cases on each pallet based on a control signal from a palletizing management device 13 (see FIG. 3) described later. Each pallet is given an individual pallet identification number. The pallet on which the cardboard cases are stacked by the palletizing robots 34A to 34D is sent to the loading process.

In the loading process, each pallet is loaded on a slide table corresponding to the area of the loading platform of the delivery truck by the loading robots 35A and 35B. The slide table on which a plurality of pallets are placed is sent to the shipping process. In the shipping process, each slide table is loaded on the loading platform of the corresponding delivery truck.
Each process of such a cardboard production system is provided with a management device for managing each process.

  For example, a corrugator management device for managing the corrugator in the sheet creation process, a box making management device for managing a distributor, a box making machine, etc. in the box making process, and the palletizing robots 34A to 34A in the palletizing process. A palletizing management device for managing 34D, a loading management device for managing the loading robots 35A and 35B in the loading process, and a shipping management device for managing shipping in the shipping process are arranged. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the corrugator management device 11, the box making management device 12, the palletizing management device 13, the loading management device 14, and the shipping management device 15 are connected to the cardboard production management device 1 through the network 16. Has been. The cardboard production management device 1 and the various management devices 11 to 15 are configured to be capable of bidirectional communication with each other by being connected to each other via the network 16.

  The cardboard production management device 1 and the various management devices 11 to 15 are so-called computer systems, and include a main body in which a CPU, a RAM, a hard disk and the like are built, an input device connected to the main body, and a display device connected to the main body. ing.

  The cardboard production management apparatus 1 includes a computer-readable recording medium in which a cardboard production management program for realizing functions to be described later is stored, and the CPU reads and executes this cardboard production management program. The functions of a grouping unit 3, an in-vehicle plan creation unit 4, a production schedule creation unit 5 and the like, which will be described later, are realized as shown in FIG.

  Similarly, each of the various management devices 11 to 15 includes a computer-readable recording medium in which various robots provided in the processes to be managed by the respective management devices and control programs for the various devices are stored. When the CPU in each management device reads and executes the program written on this recording medium, the manufacture and loading of the cardboard according to the production schedule created by the cardboard production management device 1 is carried out. Become.

  The computer-readable recording medium is, for example, a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a magnetic disk that can be read through an external interface, in addition to a hard disk built in the main body. A semiconductor memory or the like. Alternatively, the computer program may be distributed to the computer via a communication line, and the computer that has received the distribution may execute the program.

FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the cardboard production management apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 4, the cardboard production management device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a storage unit 2, a grouping unit 3, an in-vehicle plan creation unit 4, and a production schedule creation unit 5.

The storage unit 2 stores cardboard order data received from customers. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the order data includes an order number, an order destination, a delivery area, a delivery date and time, and an order content. The order contents include, for example, quantity, flute, box making specifications, used base paper (basis weight), printing form (not shown), punching form (not shown), remarks, and the like.
The format of the order data is an example, and the details of the registered data are not limited to this format.
In the present embodiment, data corresponding to each row shown in FIG. 5 is referred to as “order data”, and a table including a plurality of order data is referred to as “order data file”.

The grouping unit 3 reads out the order data registered in the storage unit 2 at a predetermined timing, for example, every day, at a predetermined time (preferably at night), and stores the order data in each order data based on the delivery date and the delivery area. Set the shipping date. The shipping date is calculated based on the delivery area and the delivery date. For example, the grouping unit 3 includes a table (not shown) in which the time required for delivery is registered for each delivery area, and sets the shipping date by referring to this table. The shipping date is the date and time obtained by subtracting the “time required for delivery” from the “delivery date”. That is, it is obtained by the following equation (1).
Shipment date = Delivery date-Time required for delivery (1)

Subsequently, the grouping unit 3 groups the order data by collecting the order data having the same shipping date and delivery area.
As a result, for example, each order data shown in FIG. 5 is grouped as shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the order data written in the same frame is the same group. That is, the order data “00124” and “00130” are handled as the same group, the order data “00123”, “00125”, and “00132” are handled as the same group, and the other order data are handled as different groups.

  The in-vehicle plan creation unit 4 receives information on each grouped order data from the grouping unit 3 and determines a delivery truck, a cardboard loading form on the delivery truck, and a shipping date and time for each group.

Specifically, the in-vehicle plan creation unit 4 performs the following processing for each group.
First, the placement area and weight of the entire order are calculated based on the order contents of the order data belonging to the same group, and the delivery truck is designated based on the placement area and weight. Here, the corrugated cardboard production management apparatus 1 also manages the empty state of the delivery truck. Therefore, the in-vehicle plan creation unit 4 refers to the availability of the delivery truck and extracts a delivery truck that can be used for delivery of the group. Furthermore, based on the loading condition of each delivery truck and a predetermined loading condition, a delivery truck suitable for delivering the order cardboard of the group is designated.

As the loading conditions of the delivery truck, the maximum loading weight, the maximum loading area, and the like are registered.
As predetermined loading conditions, a rule for stacking cardboards on a pallet and a rule for loading pallets on a slide table are set.
For example, the following rules are registered as predetermined loading conditions.
(1) Only one cardboard based on one order data is stacked on one pallet.
(2) The unit of stacking is 1 batch (unit of several dozen cardboards).
(3) When the volume of the cardboard based on one order data is not more than a predetermined volume, in other words, the pallet having the cardboard occupied volume not more than the predetermined value is set to the uppermost stage when being loaded on the slide table.

The in-vehicle plan creation unit 4 first determines the number of pallets required to load all cardboards based on the order data of the group and the cardboard stacking form on each pallet, based on the predetermined loading conditions. . Note that the height and placement area that can be stacked on the pallet are registered in advance. Further, the height of each corrugated cardboard and the height of the corrugated cardboard in a batch unit can be calculated from the number of corrugated cardboards constituting the flute and the batch. Further, the loading area can be calculated from box making specification data, and the weight can be calculated from the base paper basis weight and box making specification data.
In addition, the image figure which piled up the cardboard on the pallet by the batch unit X is shown in FIG.

Thus, when the stacking form and the number of cardboards in each pallet are determined, the loading form in which the pallets are loaded on a delivery truck that can be arranged without any gap, in other words, the pallet is placed without a gap on the slide base. Decide the loading mode to be loaded on top.
For example, a known program used for spatial arrangement can be used for determining the form of cardboard stacking on the pallet and the delivery truck, that is, the loading form of the pallet on the slide table.

When the in-vehicle plan creation unit 4 determines the cardboard stacking form of each pallet, the pallet loading form of each slide base, and the delivery truck, it creates a track arrangement instruction for each delivery truck thus determined, and the pallet to the slide base A loading robot instruction for instructing loading is created.
In addition, it is good also as a structure which can be changed by an operator about the stacking form of the corrugated cardboard to the pallet mentioned above, and the loading form of the pallet to the slide stand. For example, such a form is displayed on the display device, and the operator can operate the input device to change the stacked form freely. Thereby, it becomes possible for the operator to change to a stacked form that is satisfactory.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a truck arrangement instruction. As shown in this figure, the truck arrangement instruction includes the delivery truck identification number, the delivery truck set time, the delivery truck loading start time, the loading completion time, the shipping time (departure time), and the order destination. Delivery date and time are associated. Here, the assembly time of the delivery truck, the loading completion time, and the shipping time are calculated backward from the delivery date of the order data of the group.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the loading robot instruction. As shown in this figure, the loading robot instruction includes the identification number of the robot that performs the loading operation (here, loading robot 35A), the identification number of the truck, the identification number of the slide base, and the loading pallet. The identification number, the number of cardboards stacked on each pallet, the pallet loading start time on the slide table, the pallet loading completion time on the slide table, the order number, and the pallet loading form of the slide table are associated with each other.
In the loading mode, pallets of 0601020A01, 061020A02, 061020A03 are loaded at the position A, pallets of 0601020B01, 061020B02, 061020B03 are loaded at the position of B, and 0601020C01, 061020C02, 0601020C04, 0601020C03, at the position of C Indicates that the pallet will be loaded.

When the in-vehicle plan creation unit 4 creates the loading robot instruction, it outputs the loading robot instruction to the production schedule creation unit 5.
The production schedule creation unit 5 creates a cardboard production schedule based on the loading robot instructions.
Specifically, the instructions for each process are created so that all the production processes up to the palletizing process are completed by the start time of pallet loading onto the slide table specified in the loading robot instruction.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of palletizing instructions. As shown in this figure, the palletizing instructions include the identification number of the slide table, the identification number of the robot performing the palletizing, the identification number of the pallet, the order number, the number of cardboards stacked on each pallet, and the loading of the pallet onto the slide table. The start time, process start time (cardboard stacking start time on the pallet), process end time, operation time, cardboard stacking form of each pallet, and the like are associated with each other.

FIG. 11 shows an example of a box making instruction book. As shown in this figure, the box order includes the order number, the number of sheets produced, the identification number of the box making machine responsible for the box making process, the identification number of the alternative box making machine, the loading start time on the slide table, The box making process start time, the box making process end time, and the operation time are associated with each other.
FIG. 12 shows an example of the corrugator instructions. As shown in this figure, the corrugator instructions include the order number, flute, production length, operation target speed, pallet loading start time on the slide table, sheet creation process start time, process end time, operation time, etc. Are associated.

  When the corrugator instructions, box making instructions, and palletizing instructions are created by the production schedule creation unit (see FIG. 4) 5, the instructions for a series of processes from cardboard production to shipment are completed. The cardboard production management device 1 transmits the created instructions to the corresponding management devices 11 to 15.

Specifically, the corrugated cardboard production management device 1 loads the corrugator instructions to the corrugator management device 11 (see FIG. 3), the box making instructions to the box making management device 12, and the palletizing instructions to the palletizing management device 13. The included instructions are transmitted to the loading management device 14 and the shipping instructions are transmitted to the shipping management device 15 via the network 16.
The various management devices 11 to 15 display the received instructions on a display device (not shown), and control devices and the like of each process to be managed based on these instructions. Thus, the production of cardboard in time for the shipping time, the work of stacking the cardboard on the pallet, and the work of loading the slide table are performed by the robot or the like.

For example, the production and shipment related to the order numbers 00123, 00125 and 00132 belonging to the same group are performed in the following procedure.
First, in the sheet creation process, the corrugator 31 (see FIG. 2) creates a corrugated cardboard sheet corresponding to the order number 00123, 00125, and 00132 based on the corrugator instruction shown in FIG. At this time, the manufacture of the corrugated cardboard sheet is performed according to the production schedule (that is, the process start time and the process end time) set in the corrugator instruction. The cardboard sheet created by the corrugator 31 is sent to the box making process.

  In the box making process, the cardboard box corresponding to the order number 00123 is made by the box making machine 33A based on the box making instruction shown in FIG. 11, and the cardboard box corresponding to the order number 00125 is manufactured. Box making is performed by the box making machine 33B, and cardboard box making corresponding to the order number 00132 is made by the box making machine 33C. In the box making process, the box making machines 33A, 33B, and 33C make the number of cardboard cases according to the order according to the production schedule set in the box making instruction (that is, the process start time and the process end time). The product cardboard cases are sent to the palletizing process in batch units.

In the palletizing process, the palletizing of the cardboard case corresponding to the order number 00123 is performed by the palletizing robot 34A based on the palletizing instruction shown in FIG. 10, and the palletizing of the cardboard case corresponding to the order number 00125 is performed by the palletizing robot 34B. The palletizing of the cardboard case corresponding to the order number 00132 is performed by the palletizing robot 34C.
For example, the palletizing robot 34 stacks 2000 cardboard cases on the pallets identified by “061020A01” and “061020A02” and stacks 1000 cardboard cases on the pallet identified by “061020A03” in batch units. This stacking (palletizing) is performed in batch units.
The cardboard case is stacked on the pallet according to the production schedule (that is, the process start time and the process end time) specified in the palletizing instructions and the stacking form (not shown). In this way, each pallet on which cardboard cases are stacked by each palletizing robot is sent to the loading process.

In the loading step, the loading robot 35A loads the pallet slide table corresponding to the order number 00123, 00125, and 00132 based on the loading instruction shown in FIG. For example, the loading robot 35A loads each pallet identified by “061020A01” to “061020A03”, “061020B01” to “061020B03”, and “061020C01” to “061020C04” onto a slide table identified by “000A1”. The loading operation of the pallet onto the slide table is performed according to the production schedule (that is, the process start time and the process end time) specified in the palletizing instruction and the loading form.
In this manner, the slide table on which the pallet is loaded by the loading robot 35A is sent to the shipping process.

In the shipping process, based on the shipping instructions shown in FIG. 8, the slide table on which the cardboard cases corresponding to the order numbers 00123, 00125 and 00132 are loaded for each pallet was waiting in time for the truck assembly time. It is loaded onto a delivery truck identified by “0001”. The loading operation to the delivery truck is performed according to the on-vehicle plan (that is, loading start time, loading completion time, and shipping time) specified in the shipping instruction.
In this way, the delivery truck in which the cardboard case has been loaded departs toward each delivery area at the time of shipment.

As described above, according to the corrugated cardboard production management device 1 and the corrugated cardboard production management program according to the present embodiment, an in-vehicle plan is created in consideration of the delivery date and time (shipping date and time). Can be shortened. Thereby, distribution cost can be held down.
Furthermore, since the shipping date and time is set from the delivery date and the production schedule is set from the shipping date and time, it becomes possible to efficiently produce cardboard.
In addition, the order data is grouped based on the delivery area and the shipping date and time, and for each group, the designation of the delivery truck and the corrugated cardboard loading form to each designated delivery truck are determined in advance. It is possible to smoothly carry on the loading work.
Furthermore, it is possible to reduce a useless space generated on the platform of the delivery truck. As a result, it is possible to improve the loading efficiency of the delivery truck, and it is possible to reduce the number of delivery trucks.

In the above-described embodiment, the deadline for receiving orders may be set at night, and the above-described creation of the in-vehicle plan and production schedule may be performed at night. In this way, by setting up a production schedule at night, cardboard can be produced in advance in accordance with shipments made in the morning.
Alternatively, the deadline for order reception may be set in the morning and afternoon, and when the deadline in the morning has passed, the in-vehicle plan and production schedule may be created according to the order data up to that time.

In addition, for orders for which the shipping date is set the next day, the acceptance of orders may be closed in the morning of the previous day. In this way, by deciding the deadline for reception, it is possible to reliably meet the delivery date.
In addition, taking into account diving orders, there will be deadlines for orders received in the morning and afternoon respectively. For orders received in the morning, an in-vehicle plan and production schedule will be created in the afternoon of the day, and orders received in the afternoon May create an in-vehicle plan and a production schedule on the night of the day.

  In addition, regarding orders for extremely small quantities (small lots) in which the cardboard occupancy volume becomes smaller than a predetermined value when cardboards are stacked on a pallet, cardboards related to extremely small orders may be stacked together on a common pallet. Good. By doing so, it is possible to further improve the loading efficiency.
