Description

  The present invention relates to an order aligning system in a distribution center or the like that boxes and ships commodities according to orders.

  In addition to the system disclosed in Patent Document 1, various methods have been proposed for this type of order alignment system.

  In particular, in the order aligning system for application to so-called mail order using TV (television) broadcasting, newspapers, etc., the same product is shipped to many customers. In this case, since the product input / packing work in the order aligning system is a repetition of the same work, the product input / packing work is usually lined up.

  With reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, two examples of the product input / packaging line will be described.

  FIG. 4 shows a first example of the product input / packaging line. FIG. 4 shows that a product according to an order is placed in a shipping place 50 supplied from the box making machine 40, and then a product slip is placed in the slip placing place, and then sealed in the sealing machine 60. After that, the invoice printed by the auto labeler 71 is pasted on the upper surface of the sealed shipping box 50 and sent to the shipping line. Transport of the shipping box in such a product input / packing line is usually performed by a transport means such as a roller conveyor.

  The order aligning system includes a management computer, and control necessary for the product input / packing line is basically executed under the control of the management computer. The components connected to the management computer in the illustrated product input / packing line include a barcode reader BCR1 for optically reading a slip at a slip reading location downstream of the slip input location, and a mini label bar downstream thereof There are an auto labeler 70 for printing a code and sticking it on the side of the shipping box, a bar code reader BCR2 for optically reading the attached mini-label bar code on the downstream side of the sealing machine 60, an auto labeler 71, and the like. However, these are components necessary for the following description, and there are other components connected to the management computer.

  FIG. 4 also shows the above management computer as the management computer 100, and shows a simplified flow of information between the above components.

  Prior to the start of control, the management computer 100 stores order information including a plurality of order contents created for each customer by receiving orders from a plurality of customers at an order receiving center in a storage device. The order contents for each customer include at least the name of the customer, the address, the name of the ordered product (including the product number), and the number. The management computer 100 extracts the order contents to be shipped on that day from the stored order information and prints it as a slip for each customer. The slip is printed in batch units, for example, for 500 orders. Normally, when applied to mail order sales, the products in one batch and the number of inputs are all the same. When one batch of products and the number of input are the same, the printed slip is delivered to the worker at the slip input location, but when the input number is different, the printed slip is the worker at the product input location. Passed to. Hereinafter, the former case will be described. In any case, as shown in FIG. Here, the (slip number) is printed as a bar code, and at least the name and number (not shown) of the products to be shipped are printed. Of course, customer-specific order contents and slip No. Is tied.

  Next, the work of the operator and the flow of control in this product input / packaging line will be described.

  An operator at the product entry location takes out the designated number of products from the product storage unit (not shown) and puts them into the shipping box 50 supplied from the box making machine 40. In addition to the product, another product such as a sales promotion product or an advertisement may be input. The shipping box 50 is usually sent in a state in which four pieces (flaps) 51 serving as a lid for closing the upper opening are standing vertically in order to make it easier to put in the merchandise.

  When the insertion of the product is completed, the worker places the slip horizontally on the input product at the slip input place. Near the downstream side of the worker, a barcode reader BCR1 is disposed above the transport path of the shipping box. The bar code reader BCR1 has a slip No. printed on the slip. And read the slip No. Data is sent to the management computer 100. The management computer 100 receives the received slip number. Mini label No. (Mini-label number) is automatically numbered and the customer-related order contents and slip No. To manage with. The management computer 100 also has an automatically assigned mini label No. Is sent to the auto labeler 70. The auto labeler 70 is sent with the mini label No. Is printed as a mini-label bar code and affixed to the side of the shipping box that is sent from the slip reading location and into which the slip is placed.

  The shipping box that has passed through the auto labeler 70 is sent to the sealing machine 60, and the four flaps 51 are folded and sealed so as to close the upper opening of the shipping box 50.

  Near the downstream side of the sealing machine 60, a barcode reader BCR2 is disposed on the side of the transport path of the shipping box 50. The bar code reader BCR2 reads the mini label bar code affixed to the side of the shipping box 50, and reads the read mini label No. Data is sent to the management computer 100. The management computer 100 receives the received mini label No. The corresponding order contents are determined from the invoice, and invoice printing information for creating an invoice is sent to the auto labeler 71. The auto labeler 71 performs label printing based on the received invoice printing information, and affixes it to the upper surface of the shipping box 50 that has passed through the barcode reader BCR2. The invoice printing information includes at least the name and address of the customer to be delivered.

  As described above, products and slips are input according to the contents of the order, and the shipping box 50 that has been sealed and printed on the invoice is sent to the next shipping line.

  By the way, in the first example, the reading of the slip by the barcode reader BCR1 is not performed from directly above the shipping box 50 (directly above the slip) on the downstream side of the slip input place, as shown in FIG. It is performed from diagonally above. This is due to the following reason. Here, the barcode reader BCR1 is of a type that performs reading by irradiating a laser beam and receiving the reflected light. On the other hand, slips are usually handled while being stored in a transparent resin bag such as PP (polypropylene) resin. In this case, if the resin bag is irradiated with a laser beam from directly above, it may be irregularly reflected and cannot be read. In order to eliminate such an unreadable state due to irregular reflection, the laser beam is irradiated at an angle of 15 degrees or more from the vertical line.

  However, if the irradiation angle of the laser beam is tilted as described above, this time, the laser beam is blocked by one of the four flaps 51 that stand as vertical as possible on the cover of the shipping box 50 and cannot be read. is there. This is a slip No. to be read by the barcode reader BCR1. Is also printed at a location near the corner of the slip.

  FIG. 6 shows a second example of solving the inability to read a slip among the above problems. In FIG. 6, components having the same functions as those shown in FIG. 4 are given the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

  In the second example, the auto labeler 70 that prints the mini label barcode and sticks it to the side surface of the shipping box 50 in the first example is arranged near the upstream side of the product input place. Further, instead of the fixed bar code reader BCR1 that reads the slip after the slip is inserted, the hand-held handy bar code reader HBCR by the worker at the slip input location is used. Further, following the slip reading by the handy barcode reader HBCR, reading of the mini-label barcode attached to the side surface of the shipping box 50 is performed by the barcode reader BCR3 arranged on the side of the conveyance path near the slip input place. I am doing so.

  In the second example, when the management computer 100 reports that the shipping box 50 has arrived at the auto labeler 70, the management computer 100 displays the mini label number. Is automatically assigned and the mini label No. The data is sent to the auto labeler 70. The auto labeler 70 is a mini label No. Is affixed to the side of the shipping box 50.

  The worker at the product input place inputs the product into the shipping box 50 that comes out of the auto labeler 70 based on the slip. Subsequently, the slip slip No. of the slip is read by the handy barcode reader HBCR at the slip insertion place. Reading is performed, and the slip that has been read is put into the shipping box 50. Following this, a mini-label no. Is automatically read. The slip No. read by the handy barcode reader HBCR. And the mini label No. read by the barcode reader BCR3. Are sent to the management computer 100 together. In this way, the management computer 100 receives the received slip No. Mini label No. Are linked together with the order contents for each customer and managed.

  The shipping box 50 into which the goods and slips are inserted as described above is sent to the sealing machine 60, and the four flaps 51 are folded and sealed so as to close the upper opening of the shipping box 50. The barcode reader BCR2 arranged near the downstream side of the sealing machine 60 reads the mini label barcode attached to the side surface of the shipping box 50 and reads the read mini label No. Data is sent to the management computer 100. The management computer 100 receives the received mini label No. The corresponding order contents are determined from the invoice, and invoice printing information for creating an invoice is sent to the auto labeler 71. The auto labeler 71 performs label printing based on the received invoice printing information, and affixes it to the upper surface of the shipping box 50.

  As described above, products and slips are input according to the contents of the order, and the shipping box 50 that has been sealed and printed on the invoice is sent to the next shipping line.

  In this second example, since the handy barcode reader HBCR is used, the slip No. as described above is used. Although the inability to read is resolved, the slip may be erroneously inserted into different shipping boxes before and after the corresponding shipping box. This is because the reading operation for the slip by the handy bar code reader HBCR and the slip insertion after the reading are performed on the shipping box being transported by the transporting means such as a roller conveyor. When such a slip is erroneously inserted, the slip is delivered to a customer other than the customer to be delivered. This is not only a problem of erroneous shipment but also a problem from the viewpoint of personal information protection.

  In the order alignment system according to the present invention, the management computer further counts the number of matching times, and when the count number reaches a predetermined number, displays the fact on the display unit arranged in the slip input unit, Rechecking the slip number of the slip put in the box after taking out the box on the downstream side close to the slip input part with the label number of the label attached to the box You may be made to perform.

  According to the present invention, the present invention is also applied to an order alignment system including a management computer having a function of issuing a shipment slip for each customer based on an ordered order, and the information shown in the slips in the order in which the slips are issued. A slip input detection method for a slip in a product input / packaging line including a product input unit that inputs a product into a box based on and a slip input unit that inputs the slip into the box into which the product is input An auto labeler is arranged on the upstream side of the product input unit so that a label is attached to the box passing through the auto labeler, and the label attached to the box passing therethrough is optically inserted in the slip input unit. Slips that are to be read into the box, optically read the slips to be inserted into the box, and printed on the slips in the order in which they are issued to the auto labeler by the management computer Labels having numbers associated with numbers are assigned to the boxes in the order of numbers, and the management computer compares the read data of the label number with the read data of the slip number and whether they correspond A slip slip detection method is provided, in which whether or not slip slips are detected by detecting whether or not slip slips are detected.

  In the erroneous insertion detection method according to the present invention, the slip insertion unit detects that the box has reached the slip insertion unit, and the management computer detects the arrival of the box, It is desirable to perform the collation by enabling reading of the label number and reading of the slip number.

  In the erroneous insertion detection method according to the present invention, the movement of the box that has reached the slip insertion portion is restricted in the slip insertion portion, and as a result of the collation, the read data of the slip number and the label number It is desirable to release the restriction when the read data corresponds to the read data.

  In the erroneous insertion detection method according to the present invention, the management computer further counts the number of verifications, and when the count reaches a predetermined number, displays that fact on the display unit arranged in the slip insertion unit. , At that time, the box located on the downstream side near the slip input unit is taken out from the conveyance path and the slip number of the slip put into the box and the label number of the label attached to the box, May be re-verified.

  According to the present invention, the slip No. And mini label No. Can be performed at the time of voucher insertion instead of after voucher insertion, so that the unreadable problem that may occur at the time of voucher reading can be solved and erroneous voucher insertion can be prevented. It is possible to prevent erroneous shipment while the slip is slipped in.

  With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, an embodiment of a product input / packing line in the order alignment system according to the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 shows a product input / packaging line as in FIGS. That is, FIG. 1 shows that after a product corresponding to an order is placed in a shipping place 50 supplied from the box making machine 40, a product slip is placed in the slip entry place, and then the sealing machine 60 This shows a process from when the package is sealed, to which the invoice printed by the auto labeler 71 is pasted on the upper surface of the sealed shipping box 50 and sent to the shipping line. Therefore, in FIG. 1, components having the same functions as those shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  In this embodiment, the mini label No. to be given to the mini label to be attached in advance to the shipping box before the product is introduced. Slip number. The same number is used here, and the slip No. read by the barcode reader before the slip is put into the shipping box. And the mini label No. read by another barcode reader. In this case, it is checked whether or not they match, and if the check does not match, it is displayed that the slip to be inserted is incorrect or the shipping box is located downstream from the slip input location. To prevent it from being transported.

  For this purpose, an auto labeler 70 for printing and pasting mini-labels is arranged on the upstream side from the product entry place, and the slip slip No. Bar code reader BCR1 (slip reading means) for reading and mini label No. A barcode reader BCR3 (label reading means) for reading is placed at the slip insertion place. In addition, a stopper for preventing the shipping box from flowing out is disposed on the exit side of the shipping path of the shipping box at the slip insertion place. Further, a signal tower (alarm display unit) for notifying the worker that the slip to be inserted is an error is arranged at the slip insertion place.

  2 shows a plan view of the product input / packing line shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 shows a slip input place.

  In FIGS. 2 and 3, a slip reading barcode reader BCR1 is fixedly disposed above the shipping path of the shipping box in the slip insertion place, and is located on the side of the transport path and close to the reading position by the barcode reader BCR1. Is provided with a barcode reader BCR3 for reading a mini label.

  In FIG. 2, on the entry side of the slip insertion place, an optical sensor that regulates the reading of the barcode readers BCR1 and BCR3, here the photoelectric tube sensor OS1, is arranged so that its light beam crosses the transport path of the shipping box 50. It is arranged slightly upstream of the code reader BCR3. When the shipping box 50 reaches the position where the photoelectric tube sensor OS1 blocks the light beam, that is, when the shipping box 50 reaches the slip input place, this is notified to the management computer, and the management computer receives this notification and then the barcode readers BCR1, BCR3. It is configured to enable reading. Of course, such notification may be realized by other well-known optical sensors or mechanical sensors such as microswitches, not by the phototube sensor. A stopper ST1 for restricting the outflow of the shipping box 50 is disposed on the exit side of the slip insertion place. Here, the stopper ST1 is configured to be able to appear and retract in the transport path, and restricts the movement of the shipping box 50 by being placed in the state of projecting to the transport path unless instructed by the management computer.

  In FIG. 3, gates G1 and G2 are further installed on both the entry side and the exit side at the slip insertion place. Here, the gates G1 and G2 have an arch shape indicating that a slip should be put into the shipping box 50 between them. Bar code readers BCR1 and BCR3 are installed in a slip readable area between these gates G1 and G2.

  In the present embodiment, when the shipping box 50 into which the product is inserted reaches the slip insertion place and the management computer receives a notification of light blocking from the photoelectric tube sensor OS1, the barcode readers BCR1 and BCR3 enable reading. As a result, the barcode reader BCR3 is attached to the side of the shipping box 50 with the mini label No. Read. The shipping box 50 that has flowed into the slip insertion place is blocked by the stopper ST1. On the other hand, the worker at the slip entry location is in a state where the shipping box 50 is in the slip readable area, that is, in a state where the shipping box 50 is prevented from advancing by the stopper ST1. By passing the barcode part directly under the barcode reader BCR1, the slip No. Read. When the data read by the bar code readers BCR1 and BCR3 match, the management computer allows the stopper ST1 to move backward (downward) from the conveyance path and allow the shipping box 50 to flow out from the slip input location.

  In addition to the above configuration, for example, phototube sensors OS3 and OS4 are arranged before and after the auto labeler 70, and stoppers ST2 and ST3 are installed so that the mini label is stuck in a state where the shipping box is stopped. A configuration for waiting the next shipping box on the upstream side is provided. Although not shown, this is the same for the auto labeler 71, and a photoelectric tube sensor for defining the reading timing is also installed in the barcode reader BCR2. Furthermore, a configuration in which the phototube sensor OS4 is installed on the upstream side near the stopper ST1 and used for the entire sequence control is provided, but since it is irrelevant to the gist of the present invention, a detailed description is omitted.

  Next, the work of the operator and the flow of control in this product input / packaging line will be described. Note that the following description will be made in the case where the number of product input at the product input location is the same per batch. Therefore, as described above, the slip is delivered to the worker at the slip input place.

  In this embodiment, when it is reported to the management computer 10 that the shipping box 50 has reached the auto labeler 70, the management computer 10 will issue a vote order (slip issue order), that is, a slip number. Mini label No. As mini label no. The data is sent to the auto labeler 70. The auto labeler 70 is a mini label No. Is affixed to the side of the shipping box 50. As a result, the order contents and slip No. And mini label No. Are linked.

  The worker at the product input place inputs the product into the shipping box 50 that comes out of the auto labeler 70. The shipping box 50 into which the product is input is sent to the slip input place. When it is detected by the photoelectric tube sensor OS1 that the shipping box 50 has reached the slip readable area at the slip entry location, this is notified to the management computer 10. When the management computer 10 receives the notification signal from the photoelectric tube sensor OS1, the management computer 10 enables reading by the barcode readers BCR1 and BCR3. As a result, the mini label No. of the mini label affixed to the side surface of the shipping box 50 passing in front of the barcode reader BCR3. Then, the bar code reader BCR3 reads the slip number of the slip. Reading is done. The shipping box 50 is held in the slip readable area by the stopper ST1.

  Mini label No. read by barcode reader BCR3 And the slip No. read by the barcode reader BCR1. Are sent to the management computer 10 together. The management computer 10 receives the received slip number. And mini label No. Are matched, and it is determined that the product specified in the slip and that slip have been put into the shipping box 50 without error, the stopper ST1 is moved down, and the shipping box 50 is removed from the sealing machine 60. To the side. Slip no. And mini label No. If it does not match, let the operator know that in the signal tower and check the slip. Of course, in this case, the movement restriction of the shipping box 50 by the stopper ST1 is maintained.

  The shipping box 50 into which the goods and slips are inserted as described above is sent to the sealing machine 60, and the four flaps 51 are folded and sealed so as to close the upper opening of the shipping box 50. The barcode reader BCR2 arranged near the downstream side of the sealing machine 60 reads the mini label barcode attached to the side surface of the shipping box 50 and reads the read mini label No. Data is sent to the management computer 10. The management computer 10 receives the received mini label No. The corresponding order contents are determined from the invoice, and invoice printing information for creating an invoice is sent to the auto labeler 71. The auto labeler 71 performs label printing based on the received invoice printing information, and affixes it to the upper surface of the shipping box 50.

  As described above, goods and slips are inserted without error according to the contents of the order, and the shipping box 50 that has been sealed and printed on the invoice is sent to the next shipping line.

  In the present embodiment, the above slip No. And mini label No. In addition to the above verification, the following checks are performed.

  The management computer 10 counts the number of slips entered, that is, the number of verifications. When the number of verifications set, for example 100, is counted, the signal tower (alarm display unit) installed at the slip entry location blinks. Alternatively, an alarm is displayed and the operator is instructed to check 100 cases. At this time, it is possible to arbitrarily select whether to stop or continue the product input / packing line.

  In any case, after checking the blinking of the signal tower or the alarm display, the worker at the slip entry place takes out an appropriate shipping box from the line after the slip entry and before the boxing, and is near the slip entry place. Use the handy bar code reader provided in the terminal device to find the mini label No. And slip No. in the shipping box. Re-verify. The result of the re-verification is sent to the management computer 10.

  When the product input / packaging line is in a stopped state, the management computer 10 restarts the line if the result of the re-verification is “OK”. If the result of the re-verification is “NG”, it is assumed that there has been an error in the slip in some of the previous verifications, and an operation for searching for a shipping box with an error has been made.

  When the product input / packaging line is in operation, the management computer 10 continues the operation of the line if the re-verification result is “OK”, and immediately stops the line if it is “NG”. Let's get into the work of searching for a shipping box that has been damaged.

  As can be understood from the above description, in the present embodiment, A) the mini label No. of the mini label bar code to be affixed to the shipping box in advance before the product is introduced. As a slip no. By printing and affixing the number associated with, it is possible to detect an erroneous insertion of a voucher at the time of voucher insertion (immediately before the voucher is inserted), and B) a barcode reader for reading a voucher and a mini label for reading By restricting the operation timing of the bar code reader, it is possible to prevent erroneous insertion of slips. In addition, C) The slip number is periodically updated even after the slip is inserted. And mini label No. By performing the re-collation, it is possible to detect an erroneous insertion of a slip at an early stage if it cannot be detected in the above A) and B). Therefore, it is possible to solve the unreadable problem that may occur at the time of automatic reading of the slip, and to prevent erroneous shipment while the slip is erroneously inserted. As a result, it is possible to provide a product input / packaging line that realizes high productivity and high accuracy, and enables various products.

  The above description is an example in which the same batch has the same product and its input quantity, but it goes without saying that the same batch can be applied even if the product and its input quantity are different. In this case, as described above, the slip is handed over to the worker at the product input place. The worker at the slip insertion place takes out the slip placed on the product in the shipping box and reads it with the barcode reader BCR1.

  The present invention is suitable for the field of shipping characteristics in which the same product is shipped in large lots, such as specialized mail order for health foods, cosmetics, etc., and TV broadcast mail order, but is not limited thereto.
