Description

  The present invention relates to a processed food management system that manages product information such as the expiration date attached at the time of food production.

  All processed foods have an expiration date. The expiry date refers to “a period (a time limit) that the manufacturer recognizes that the taste and quality can be sufficiently maintained when the food is stored correctly without being opened”. This expression is used when the quality of taste, flavor, etc. is more of a problem than the problem of hygiene, and is specifically used mainly for processed foods that can be stored hygienically for a long time. It should be noted that the expiration date can be omitted for seasonings such as sugar and salt, chewing gum, ice creams and ice that can be stored for a long period of time.

  In addition, there is a notation "expiration date" as a similar expression, but this is used in foods, particularly for fresh foods and raw processed foods that are easily altered by the action of bacteria. This is a delimiter in the sense of whether or not it is suitable for consumption because the safety as a food cannot be ensured before the flavor after the expiration date. The difference between the expiry date and the expiry date is indicated by the expiry date for foods that are recognized to rapidly deteriorate in quality within approximately 5 days including the date of manufacture. In addition, for industrial products other than food products such as batteries and pharmaceuticals, it refers to the time limit determined by the manufacturer for industrial products that use chemical changes or undergo chemical changes that are not expected over time.

  On the other hand, since BSE was confirmed in Japan in 2001, there has been a growing interest in food safety and consumer choices. Especially in the food field, the distribution channel of products extends from the production stage to the final consumption stage or disposal stage. Attention has been focused on traceability technology that enables tracking (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, in the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) method, in which data is recorded or read using radio waves on a tag-like medium and communication is performed via an antenna, the price of the tag is being reduced. It is expensive to mount on individual foods. In the processed food industry, the process of managing lots of raw materials for production and lot management of processed foods has been developed. The method of printing and managing the number and barcode (two-dimensional code) indicating the production lot along with the expiration date is inexpensive and reliable, and it is only necessary to process each lot in an emergency. It has become mainstream.

  Loss of product quality and reliability due to typographical errors such as the expiration date can be fatal to food companies. Therefore, in production sites such as processed food factories, accidents are prevented by various means. However, since a plurality of different products are manufactured on the same manufacturing line on the same manufacturing line, it is necessary to reliably set the expiration date of each manufactured product.

  In addition, since the production schedule is often changed depending on the order reception status and the shipment status on the manufacturing day, it is necessary to verify that it has been changed to a numerical value such as the expiration date for the corresponding product each time. Furthermore, it is very preferable in terms of distribution of merchandise that confirmation of the expiration date and the like of foods produced in large quantities is performed in real time as needed at the production site.

  On the other hand, at the production site, the space and work personnel are kept to the minimum necessary from the viewpoint of efficiency. Therefore, since there are restrictions on the personnel to be confirmed, the confirmation means, etc., the burden is naturally imposed on the workers at the production site. Further, it is difficult for a plurality of people to confirm and verify the expiration date and the like simultaneously in real time, and the implementation of confirmation and management during the implementation are left to the same person. Therefore, when an accident occurs, it is often found after the production is finished, and there is a problem that countermeasures must be taken after the fact.

JP 2005-107843 A

  As described above, one of the problems when managing the printed expiration date and the number or barcode (two-dimensional code) indicating the production lot is one of the problems in the pre-shipment stage Early detection. In addition, confirmation work by a plurality of people regarding the expiration date and the production lot is performed.

  However, in many manufacturing factories, products are produced every day, especially in processed food manufacturing factories, because of hygiene issues, they are manufactured in clean rooms, and new management equipment is introduced. The equipment must be installed and introduced after the operation of the entire factory is suspended, and introduction into an existing factory often involves extensive improvement work for the entire factory.

  The present invention provides a processed food management system that can be easily introduced into an existing factory or the like at a low cost, hardly imposes a burden on an operator, and can perform confirmation work by a plurality of people in the manufacturing process. For the purpose.

  In addition, product accidents related to the display of the expiration date or expiry date fall under the Food Sanitation Act, and are subject to strict punishment (such as transaction suspension) from the collection of public notices that affect a wide range and business partners. Checking the display requires significant management. In recent years, in the processed food industry, there have been cases in which products using raw materials that should be disposed of have been circulating, greatly losing trust in consumers. This is caused by a decline in the morals of individual workers and inadequate management system.

  Therefore, we have a management method that can provoke the morals of individual workers, prevent product accidents related to the display of the expiration date and expiration date, and quickly investigate the cause in the event of a product accident. That is another purpose.

There is. In addition, while arousing the morals of individual workers, it is possible to prevent product accidents related to the display of the expiration date and the expiration date, and to quickly investigate the cause in the event of a product accident. .

In the present invention, it comprises a first terminal that can access product database means prestored product data including production schedule information and expiration date information for each processed product to be manufactured,
The first terminal is
An imaging unit that captures an image including a display area of the expiration date printed on the packaging material of one product selected from the group of processed products in the manufacturing process;
Product data selection means for selecting product data relating to the selected product to be imaged from the product database means;

Information processing means for producing first confirmed manufactured product data that has been input to the input items as second confirmed manufactured product data. Thereby, it is easy to introduce into existing factories at low cost.

  In other words, the present invention includes a first terminal for producing first confirmed manufactured product data for which the expiration date display has been confirmed, and a second terminal for confirming the first confirmed manufactured product data again. The first terminal only needs to create image data and selected product data in one manufactured product confirmation file. The process created in the manufactured product confirmation file does not need to perform high-speed information processing, so there is no need to introduce a dedicated information processing apparatus. Therefore, for example, since a commercially available personal computer (hereinafter referred to as PC) can be used, introduction into an existing factory does not have to be accompanied by extensive improvement work for the entire factory. This provides an advantage that it can be easily introduced into an existing factory or the like at a low cost. In the present invention, the term “expiration date” is used, but this notation is not limited to the expiration date, and may be replaced with the expiration date.

  The first terminal includes imaging means, product data selection means, display means, performer input means, and information processing means. The image pickup means in the present invention may be any means that picks up an image including the display area of the expiration date printed on the packaging material of one product selected from the processed product group in the manufacturing process. For example, sufficient performance can be obtained with a PC-connected camera that can be connected to a commercially available PC and capture image data into the PC.

  As the product data selection means in the present invention, any product data relating to the selected product to be imaged may be input, and an executor may input using a keyboard or the like at the time of actual shooting. In order to reduce, speed up, and correct the work, product data including production schedule information and expiration date information for each processed product to be manufactured is stored in advance in the product database means, and the first terminal accesses the product data. You should have a possible environment. Therefore, the product database means may be stored in the first terminal or have a network environment that can access the recording data of a server other than the first terminal. Product data selection means, such as those in which an executor clicks and selects from the display screen using a mouse connected to a PC, those in which the executor touches and selects the display screen, pre-printed barcodes, etc. And the like to be selected by a reader that reads the display.

  In particular, if the reading by the reader gives only the print display code such as a barcode for selecting the product data of the corresponding product to the executor executing the product data input process and the imaging process in advance, the product data group There is an advantage that selection mistakes are eliminated when selecting corresponding product data.

  The image of the selected product imaged by the imaging unit and the product data selected from the product data selection unit are displayed as a manufactured product confirmation file on the display unit of the first terminal. In this file, an executioner input item for inputting performer data including the name of the performer who executes the input process and the imaging process of the product data, and the date of the expiration date in the image of the selected product by the performer, Since it is provided with an executioner date input item for inputting the same date as the date of both expiration dates after confirming the expiration date of the product data, each of these inputs is performed by an executioner input means such as a keyboard. Enter the item.

  Regarding the date input item, the executor confirms the expiration date in the image of the selected product and the expiration date of the product data with a keyboard or the like, and then inputs the same date as both the expiration dates. If the expiration date in the image is different from the expiration date of the product data, the production line is temporarily stopped, the cause is reliably checked, the cause is resolved, and the production line is resumed. As a result, while arousing the morals of individual performers, it is possible to prevent a product accident related to the date display of the expiration date and to quickly investigate the cause in the event of a product accident.

  In order to speed up the work, an executor to be actually executed may be selected and input from an executor data group related to an executor for executing an imaging process stored in advance in the recording data of the PC. Therefore, as a selection means, an operator who clicks and selects from the display screen using a mouse connected to the PC, a user who selects the display screen by touching the display screen, a pre-printed barcode, etc. And the like to be selected by a reader that reads the display. Furthermore, as a preferable aspect of the product data selection means of the present invention, even if the product data selection means is a selection means by a reader for a printed display code of a processed product previously associated with the product data, Can be achieved.

  In addition, the confirmer input items of the confirmer input means are those for inputting their own ID and password using a keyboard, items that are selected by the performer by clicking from the display screen using a mouse connected to the PC, and display The screen can be selected by the performer by touching the screen. Similarly to the executor input item, in the case of the selection means by the reader of the print display code for selecting the confirmer data from the confirmer database corresponding to each confirmer in advance, the work can be speeded up similarly. I can plan.

  The product data relating to processed products in the present invention includes lot data for each raw material used in processed food processed and manufactured. Preferably, the lot data for each raw material is made into a database, and the raw material actually used in the production line By extracting the lot from the raw material lot database and preparing product data including the raw material lot used in the production line in advance, by making the image data and product data into a file for each manufactured product, It becomes a database that can be traced to the purchase source, and in the event of a product accident, the cause can be quickly investigated.

  As the database means of the product database means, the first confirmed database means, and the second confirmed database means in the present invention, file data created for each selected product is recorded / accumulated, lot information, executor information, Anything can be used as long as it can be searched and extracted from the confirmer information, date and time.

  The first terminal or the second terminal in the present invention may be anything that can browse file data of any database means. The first terminal refers to a PC that creates image data and data of the selected product in a manufactured product file. The terminal viewed by the confirmer is preferably a head office or branch office other than the factory that performs the food processing process. The inspection can be carried out in a state close to real time by enabling browsing with other factories or the like via a communication line.

The management method using the processed food management system according to the present invention is a management method using the above-described processed food management system, and selects a product from the processed product group after the manufacturing process that displays the expiration date on the packaging material. A pick-up process;
An imaging step of capturing an image including the display area of the expiration date of the selected processed product with the first terminal;
The image obtained in the imaging step and the product data selected from the product data selection unit are displayed on the display unit of the first terminal, and the performer input item and the performer date input item are input. An executor input step of creating the first confirmed manufactured product data and storing it in the first confirmed database means;
The stored first confirmed database means is displayed on the display means of the second terminal, and the second confirmed product product data is created by inputting the confirmer input item and the confirmer date input item to generate the second confirmed product product data. And a confirmer input process to be stored in the confirmed database means, so as to arouse the morals of individual workers and prevent product accidents related to the display of the expiration date. The cause can be investigated.

  The pick-up process in the present invention is a process of selecting a product from the processed product group after the manufacturing process for displaying the expiration date on the packaging material. The selection of products may be in accordance with product quality control rules. For products manufactured in one lot, including the case of creating product product data for all manufactured products and storing it in the first confirmed database means, in this case, it is important to capture the image of the selected product Low cost for existing factories and the like because it has a large number of image processing means and a large amount of information processing means for creating captured image data and selected product data together with date / time data in one manufactured product file The advantage of being easy to introduce is lost. Accordingly, several pick-up operations are performed at predetermined intervals for a product manufactured in one lot. For example, it may be picked up at every one or more intervals at the start of production, every hour, at the end of production, or the like.

  As an imaging process in the present invention, an image including the display area of the expiration date of the selected product is captured. Since pick-up is performed at predetermined intervals such as at the start of production, every hour, at the end of production, or any one or more, for example, it is connected to a PC terminal arranged near the production line. Can be done in the camera.

  A selected product including product data related to a product to be imaged by an input means connected to the PC terminal at the time of shooting by the camera, and executor data related to an executor who executed the product data input processing and imaging processing Enter the data. The product data and executor data of these selected products may be input with a keyboard connected to a PC terminal or click input with a mouse, but preferably, the processed food processed in the food processing stored in advance is stored. Reading a print display code for selecting one product data from the product data group, and a print display code for selecting one performer data from the performer data group related to the performer who executes the imaging process that has been stored in advance Input by the machine. As a result, the effects of speeding up input and preventing data falsification are exhibited.

  The performer input step in the present invention is to display the image obtained in the imaging step and the product data selected from the product data selection unit on the display unit of the first terminal, What is necessary is to input the performer date input item to create the first confirmed manufactured product data and store it in the first confirmed database means. Even if the created database is stored in a recording means such as a hard disk in the PC terminal to be processed, one or more records of servers in the same factory, head office, branch office, other factories, etc. connected via a communication line It may be stored in the means.

  The confirmer input step in the present invention is to display the first confirmed database means on the display means of the second terminal and input the confirmer input item and the confirmer date input item to enter the second confirmed product product. This is a step of creating data and storing it in the second confirmed database means. That is, the file data related to the product group to be shipped is retrieved and extracted from the first confirmed database means created by the performer, and after confirming that the corresponding file data items are satisfied, the confirmer It is only necessary to input the input item and the confirmer date input item to produce the second confirmed product product data, save it in the second confirmed database means, and ship it. The confirmer input process is not performed by the executor who created the file data, but the confirmer who is other than the executor confirms the file data and approves the shipment. Further improvement.

  As a preferred mode, in the confirmer input step, approval for shipment is given when the data is stored in the second confirmed database means. As a result, the shipped product can be managed by the file data stored in the second confirmed database means, so that in the event of an emergency, the second confirmed database means can be used based on the file data. (2) Since it is possible to search retroactively to the confirmed database means and the merchandise database means, it is possible to stop the shipment of the same lot product as the product in which the problem has occurred, and it is also possible to collect the shipping destination product urgently.

  In addition, the second confirmed database means obtained in this process can also be viewed on a browsing terminal that can be browsed via the communication line with the head office, branch office, other factories, etc., in addition to the factory that performs the food processing process. To do. In addition, even if the created database is stored in a recording device such as a hard disk in the PC terminal to be confirmed, the server in the same factory, head office, branch office, other factory connected via a communication line is used. It may be stored in one or more recording means.

  As described above, according to the management method of the present invention, since an image of the expiration date of the picked-up selected product is captured, the selected product is not stored and can be returned to the product of the lot, and there is no loss of the product. There is. In addition, since the system of the present invention can be configured with an imaging device or a barcode reader connected to a commercially available PC that can be easily installed in the vicinity of the production line, the existing factory Has the advantage of being easy to introduce at low cost.

  Furthermore, in order to create a manufactured product file, it is only necessary to image the selected product and input various data. This reduces the labor of the executor, and when shipping, the person who checks it is away from the manufacturing line. A check can be made. Since it is possible to circulate and confirm on a terminal connected via a communication line, it does not take time and the timing of the check becomes appropriate.

  The file data of the first confirmed database means and the second confirmed database means of the present invention is preferably an unmodified file data in which file data in each database is prohibited from being re-saved and can only be newly saved. To do. As this unmodified file data, a PDF file can be used, worries about falsification and storage space saving can be realized, and traceability such as reconfirmation becomes efficient.

  In addition, the performer who creates the file data has the advantage of improving the executor work morale because the person who confirms the next step checks the file data, and there is an advantage of improving the executor work morality. In this case, there is also an advantage of improving the performer morals. In addition, for the confirmer, in the unlikely event that a product accident occurs, it is considered that other people will check, so there is also an advantage of improving work morals, and file data that is prohibited from being saved again In some cases, there is also an advantage of improving the performer morals.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the processed food management system of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a display screen of the shipping merchandise file data.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in the processed food management system of the present invention, a PC terminal 10 as a first terminal that performs an performer input process is arranged near the packaging process line 16 of the production line. The PC terminal 10 includes a camera 11 serving as an imaging unit that captures an image including a display area for the expiration date of a packaging material in which processed food to be manufactured is manufactured, and a product data selection that selects data of a corresponding product from a product database. A bar code reader 12 as means, a display 13 as display means, a keyboard 14 as input means, and a mouse are connected to a main body 15 as information processing means.

  The PC terminal 10 captures an image including a display area of the expiration date of the processed food packaging material with the camera 11 to obtain image data. In addition, an executor database of several shooters is created in advance, and each shooter carries a barcode as a print display code that can read out only his own data from the executor database. The data of the performer is called by reading the image with the barcode reader 12 at the time of photographing the image.

  In addition, a product database consisting of product names for products manufactured on the production line, lots of raw materials used, etc. is created, and a barcode for calling product data on products manufactured on the current production line is prepared in advance. The product data is called by being carried by the photographer and being read by the barcode reader 12.

  At the time of photographing, one manufactured product confirmation file is displayed together with the date and time data of the called product data and the captured image data captured by the camera. At that time, the executor input item and the date are automatically input to the input items of the executor input item and the date input item of the manufactured product confirmation file by the called executor data. The photographer confirms the expiration date in the image of the selected product and the expiration date of the product data, and inputs the same date as both the expiration dates in the performer date input item. After the input by the executor is completed, this file is stored as first confirmed manufactured product data in the server 17 via the hard disk and the network line in the PC terminal 10 to create a first confirmed database.

  More specifically, the photographer takes in the date display part of the product as a JPG file with the camera. In this case, the time taken in is automatically recorded. The photographer captures the barcode of the product data with the barcode reader 12, and collates it with the production instruction displayed by the product data. After confirming that there is no mistake by the collation, the performer himself / herself inputs the date in the date input item column with the keyboard 14. At this time, the production order of the selected product and the end date check may be performed, and the collated result may be input.

  Next, the photographer inputs his / her data as a barcode. At this time, the input time is also automatically recorded. The photographer visually checks the date display of the JPG file, inputs the number of the date, collates it with the production instruction, creates a manufactured product file consisting of one PDF file together with the date and time data, and stores it as a PC terminal 10. The first confirmed database is created by recording and storing in the server 17 in the factory connected to the internal hard disk via a network line.

  About manufactured goods, when shipping, it is performed through a confirmation inspection process. The confirmation inspection process is performed by the person in charge of confirmation inspection, not by the person who performed the image data creation. The person in charge of confirmation inspection may be performed by the PC terminal 10 arranged in the vicinity of the packaging line, but it is performed by another PC terminal 20 shown in FIG. Similar to the PC terminal 10, the PC terminal 20 includes a barcode reader 22.

  The PC terminal 20 and the PC terminal 30 that can be browsed through a network line (communication line) are installed in the first confirmed database of the server 17. The PC terminal 20 is a PC terminal as a second terminal on which a confirmer performs a confirmation inspection, and is installed so as to be accessible via a network line to a database that stores first confirmed manufactured product data created by an executor. In this embodiment, the processing product manufactured by the confirmation check by the confirmer is given a shipping permission. However, the shipping permission is given by a person who has been given the authority at another terminal to confirm the permission. It may be.

  In the PC terminal 20, a display 23 as a display means capable of displaying the first confirmed manufactured product data, a barcode reader 22, and a keyboard 24 are connected to a main body 25 as an information processing means.

  In the confirmation inspection, a checker database in which individual data of several checkers is stored in advance is prepared, and each of the checkers can read out only their own data from the checker database as a print display code. Carrying the barcode and reading it by the barcode reader 22 at the time of the confirmation inspection, the data of the confirmer is called, and the first confirmed manufactured product data of the product scheduled to be shipped is displayed. At that time, the confirmer input item and the date are automatically input to the input items of the confirmer input item and the date input item of the displayed first confirmed manufactured product data by the called confirmer data. .

  The confirmer confirms the same date as the three expiry dates after confirming the expiry date in the image of the selected product, the expiry date of the product data, and the date of the date input item entered by the performer. In the person date input field. After the input by the confirmer is completed, this file is stored as the second confirmed product data on the hard disk in the PC terminal 20 and the network 17 on the server 17 to produce the second confirmed database, and then shipped. Give permission. In other words, the second confirmed database becomes the shipping commodity database means.

  Further, the PC terminal 30 is a PC terminal that can view the shipping merchandise file data in the second confirmed database of the server 17. In the event of an emergency, the PC terminal 30 searches the product database using the second confirmed database based on the file data of the second confirmed database.

  Use this system to manage processed foods. First, as a product pick-up process, a product is selected from a product group in which the expiration date is displayed on the packaging material in which the processed food in the food processing process is packaged. The product is picked up at the start of production in the lot of the manufactured product, every hour, at the time of changeover, at the end of production, or the like.

  The picked-up merchandise is taken to the PC terminal 10 arranged in the vicinity of the packaging process line by the imaging person, and is made into a database. In the database creation, an image including a display area for the expiration date of the picked-up product is captured, the corresponding product data is called from the product database, the data of the imaging executor is called from the executor database, and the display screen area shown in FIG. In the state of being input to A and area B, the input of other areas is shown as blank. The executor confirms the expiration date of area A in the image of the selected product and the expiration date of the product data of area B, and inputs the same date as the expiration date of both the expiration date of area C. Enter in the item field. The input-completed file is stored in the first confirmed database as first confirmed manufactured product data.

  The person in charge of confirmation inspection calls the corresponding first confirmed manufactured product file from the first confirmed database recorded and stored in the server 17. At this time, the confirmer reads the barcode carried by himself / herself with the barcode reader 22, thereby calling his / her confirmer data and displaying the data in the confirmer input item of the first confirmed manufactured product data. Is done.

  In the state of being input to the areas A and B of the display screen shown in FIG. 2, the area C of the performer date input item field, and the area D of the confirmer input item, the input in the other areas is indicated as blank. .
