Description

  The present invention provides a factory owned by a plurality of filling companies as a common virtual factory on the Internet in the beverage and medicine filling industry, and a plurality of filling orderers share the virtual factory to increase the production capacity of the filling line. It relates to a virtual factory sharing system that can be used.

  In the conventional filling industry, if the filling company has a filling factory individually, and the filling orderer wants to request the filling work of products such as beverages and chemicals, the filling company individually requests the completion date and quantity of filling. It was reported that the filling company checked the production plan (filling plan) of its own filling factory, accepted the order of the filling orderer, and accepted the order and performed the filling work.

  Here, “filling industry” refers to any content including beverages, liquid foods, solid foods, medicines and detergents in any packaging material such as cans, plastic containers, glass containers, paper packs, blister packs, etc. It is a business that provides filling services. The filling orderer is a person who sells soft drinks, etc., and requests filling work from a filling company according to a sales plan. In this specification, for easy understanding, the filling industry will be described by taking the filling industry of a plastic bottle beverage as an example.

  “Packaging” is a term used in the filling industry. In addition to the above-mentioned cans, plastic containers, glass containers, paper packs, blister packs, etc., labels, caps, lids, containers attached to the outside of containers Includes novelty products, stickers, etc. to be attached (the same shall apply hereinafter).

  In the case of the plastic bottle beverage filling industry, the filling company obtains the beverage ingredients from the filling orderer, and also obtains the packaging materials such as plastic bottles, caps, labels, etc. from the specialized packaging material manufacturers, and fills these dates. The filling work is done in line.

  Each packaging material manufacturer delivers a predetermined number of packaging materials to a predetermined filling company in response to a communication from a filling company or a filling orderer.

  Normally, a filling company accepts orders from a plurality of filling orderers in order to fully operate its own filling factory. For this reason, in a filling factory of one filling company, products of a plurality of filling orderers are mixed, and a production plan is often planned for products of a plurality of filling orderers.

  However, the products of the plurality of filling orderers are often in competition with each other, and the production plans of different filling orderers include information such as sales trends of the products of the filling orderer, and other filling orders. Often it must be kept secret from the orderer.

  For this reason, the operation status of the filling plant of the filling company is kept secret from the filling orderer, and the filling orderer is in total whether he or she is requesting a new filling operation or has already requested a filling operation. The production status is not understood.

  When the filling orderer wants to know the progress of the filling operation of his / her product, he / she directly asks each filling company, and the filling company only asks the filling orderer of the filling work progress of the filling orderer. I was trying to report.

  Further, as described above, when a filling orderer requests a new filling, each filling company has to directly inquire about the production capacity of the filling line individually as to whether a new contract can be made.

  In this way, the operation status of the conventional filling plant of the filling company is like a black box to the filling orderer, and the filling orderer can check whether the filling is requested or the work progress is inquired. I tried to contact the fillers individually.

  Since the virtual factory sharing system in the filling industry is first devised by the applicant, there is no prior art as far as the applicant of the present application knows.

  As described above, in the conventional filling industry, the operation status of the filling factory of the filling company is made into a black box with respect to the filling orderer, and each filling factory individually receives orders from the filling orderer. Even if there is a filling factory with production capacity on the filling line, the filling orderer cannot be informed of the status of the production capacity of the filling line, and the filling line cannot be used efficiently. The factory filling line operation efficiency was low.

  If you try to open up the operation status of a filling plant with production capacity on the filling line, the production plan of the filling orderer who has already received an order will be leaked, and it will be difficult to leak information such as product sales trends. I could not.

  Therefore, one problem to be solved by the present invention is to share the filling factories of each filling company nationwide like a virtual factory while preventing the outflow of information such as sales trends of each filling orderer, The purpose is to provide a virtual factory sharing system that can disclose and utilize information on filling factories that have production capacity on the filling line.

  Further, usually, one filling factory has a plurality of filling lines, and each filling line can be filled with different products.

  In the past, filling orders were inquired by each filling factory as to whether or not to accept the commissioned filling, but even if there is production capacity in the filling line, filling orders can be made by the requested date only on the filling line. When the desired quantity of product cannot be filled, the filling company refuses to accept the contract.

  However, if one filling operation can use a filling line with a production capacity of multiple filling factories, that is, a filling line with a production capacity can be used in units of “filling lines”. Clearly, the operating efficiency of the filling line is improved.

  Another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a virtual factory sharing system in which a filling line can be used as a unit and a filling line having a production capacity can be utilized regardless of the difference between the filling factories.

  Further, in the conventional filling industry, each packaging material manufacturer individually receives a contact from a filling company or a filling orderer and delivers a predetermined amount of packaging material to a filling factory on a predetermined date.

  Each packaging material manufacturer was ordered from different fillers or filling orderers separately for the required date and quantity of the packaging material, so it was not possible to produce and ship the packaging material systematically. On the other hand, in the filling factory, the filling operation cannot be performed unless all the packaging materials are prepared. Therefore, when a certain packaging material is missing, the operation may be interrupted after the arrival of the packaging material. .

  Therefore, another problem to be solved by the present invention is that the packaging material manufacturer can comprehensively see the total quantity and date for which the packaging material is required, and can produce and ship the packaging material in a planned manner. The purpose is to provide a virtual factory sharing system.

The virtual factory sharing system in the filling industry according to the present invention is
An authentication server connected to the system user's computer;
A web server connected to the authentication server and the system user's computer;
A production plan management server connected to the web server and a filling line progress reporting means of a filling plant;
A shared factory database connected to the production plan management server;
The production plan management server and an output screen generation server connected to the web server,
The shared factory database registers all filling lines of the filling factory in units of filling lines, and holds production plans and results for each filling line for a predetermined period as one piece of production data. Data includes the customer code that identifies the filling orderer, the processing date that identifies the period, the product code that identifies the product, the manufacturer code that identifies the packaging material, and the planned or actual number of daily production quantities As an item, and keep it as different production data for each data item difference or combination difference,
The authentication server authenticates whether the user of the computer that requested the connection is a legitimate system user, and if the user is a legitimate system user, specifies the qualification of the system user, Allowing the connection and sending the system user's credentials to the web server;
The web server provides a user interface, sends the processing request of the system user and the qualification of the system user to the production plan management server,
The production plan management server searches all filling lines for filling work orders, assigns production to a predetermined filling line, registers production data of each filling line in the shared factory database, and performs every predetermined time. When progress information is entered from the filling line progress reporting means of each filling plant, the number of daily production quantities of production data corresponding to the shared plant database is updated, and there is an inquiry request from a prescribed system user In order to perform the processing permitted to the qualification of the system user by controlling the search right, the aggregation right and the access right to the predetermined data item of the production data according to the qualification of the system user, It has only data items that are allowed to be displayed among the production data that is allowed to be accessed by the system user from the shared factory database. The production data to get sent to the output screen generation server,
The output screen generation server is configured to acquire the production data from the production plan management server, generate screen data, transmit the screen data to the web server, and transmit the screen data to the system user's computer from the web server. It is characterized by that.

The production data of the shared factory database has a first data layer for managing production plans and results for a predetermined period of all filling lines of the filling factory at a level of product completion, and the first data layer is a data item. It has a filling schedule number (filling schedule No.) of the contents, and has a second data layer for managing the filling operation of each product in relation to the filling schedule No., and the second data layer Has a filling number in the data item, and has a third data layer for managing the packaging work of each product in the lower order in relation to the filling number.
The lower data layer can be increased or decreased as necessary, and the packaging manufacturer can search for the manufacturer code of the data layer of the related work for which the packaging material is provided, Can be queried.

  The production data of the shared factory database may use a product code of a filling orderer as a code for specifying a product and a manufacturer code of a packaging material manufacturer as a code for specifying a packaging material.

  The shared factory database of the present invention registers all filling lines of a filling factory in units of filling lines, and holds production plans and results for each filling line for a predetermined period as one piece of production data. The production plan management server searches all the filling lines for filling work orders, assigns production to a predetermined filling line, and registers the production plan of each filling line in the shared factory database.

  Each filling line unit holds the production plan and actual results of the filling line for a specified period as a single piece of production data, and assigns filling lines with production capacity to filling work orders. The line can be utilized.

  That is, the surplus production capacity of the filling line becomes obvious, and any filling plant having a surplus production capacity can be used. Moreover, it becomes possible to cooperate the filling lines of a plurality of physically different filling factories with respect to the order of one filling operation. Conventionally, if there is a shortage in the order quantity even if there is a vacancy in the filling line, it is possible to prevent the contract from being accepted.

  On the other hand, when there is an inquiry request from a predetermined system user, the production plan management server controls the search right, the total right and the access right for the predetermined data item of the production data according to the qualification of the system user. By doing so, the processing permitted by the system user's qualification is performed, and only the production data including the data items permitted to be accessed by the system user is acquired and notified to the system user.

  As a result, the system user can access only the production data that can be accessed by the system user, and the data items of the production data can see only necessary portions by setting the access right. This prevents filling orderers, who are often in a competitive relationship, from referring to other filling orderers' production plans and prevents outflows of product trends and sales plans of other filling orderers. Can do.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it becomes possible to grasp and utilize the production status of all filling lines in all filling factories, while preventing information leakage such as product trends and sales plans between filling orderers. can do.

  Further, according to the present invention, the production plan management server inputs the progress information from the progress report means of the filling line of each filling factory every predetermined time, and updates the number of actual production quantities in the shared factory database. Since this information can be provided, the filling orderer can grasp the progress of the work of his product in all the filling factories in real time as if referring to the progress of his own filling factories.

  In addition, the production data in the shared factory database has a first data layer for managing the completion of the product, and the first data layer has a filling schedule number of contents in the data item, and is related to the filling schedule number. The second data layer for managing the filling operation of each product at the lower level, the second data layer has the filling schedule number in the data item, and further related to the filling schedule number It has a third data layer that manages the packaging work of each product below.

  The lower data layer can be increased or decreased as necessary, and the packaging manufacturer can search for the manufacturer code of the data layer of the related work for which the packaging material is provided, Can be inquired.

  As a result, packaging manufacturers can grasp all production data of related work for which they provide packaging materials, and in advance know how much packaging materials should be provided to which filling plants by what time. In addition, by producing and shipping systematically, it is possible to prevent a situation where the entire filling operation is stopped due to a shortage of one packaging material in each filling factory.

  In addition, since the lower data layer can be increased or decreased as necessary, the data can be increased or decreased according to the number of work steps, and the minimum necessary data can be retained according to the complexity of the work. Can manage data flexibly and efficiently.

  Further, according to the present invention, the production data uses the product code of the filling orderer as a code for specifying the product, and the manufacturer code of the packaging material manufacturer as the code for specifying the packaging material.

  This allows each filling orderer and packaging manufacturer to refer to the product or packaging using their own code, and the filling orderer and packaging manufacturer to establish a shared factory as if it were their own filling plant. It can be used, and the data matching operation when ordering from the outside can be omitted.

FIG. 4 is an output screen for a filler according to one embodiment of the present invention. The figure of the output screen for filling orderers by one Embodiment of this invention.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

  FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a filling factory virtual factory sharing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the virtual factory sharing system 1 of the filling industry according to the present embodiment includes an authentication server 2, a web server 3, a production plan management server 4, a shared factory database 5, and an output screen generation server 6. And a progress report means 7 of the filling line of the filling plant.

  Moreover, although it is not a component of the virtual factory sharing system 1 of a filling industry, it has the computer 8 of a system user and the filling line 9 of a filling factory as an element which uses the virtual factory sharing system 1 of a filling industry. Although there may be many system user computers 8, only a limited number is shown in the figure. As system users, there are a filling company, a filling orderer, and a packaging material manufacturer.

  There may be many filling lines 9 in the filling plant, but only a limited number is shown in the figure. There is a filling company as a user of the filling line 9 of the filling factory.

  The authentication server 2 is connected to the computer 8 of the system user. Here, “connected” means connected so that communication is possible, regardless of whether wired or wireless. As shown in FIG. 1, they may be connected via a communication network including the Internet. In the present invention, the virtual factory sharing system 1 of the filling industry, the computer 8 of the system user, and the filling line 9 of the filling factory are preferably connected via the Internet.

  The web server 3 is connected to the authentication server 2 and the computer 8 of the system user, and provides a user interface with the system user.

  The production plan management server 4 is connected to the web server 3 and the shared factory database 5 and performs processing on the shared factory database 5.

  The shared factory database 5 registers all filling lines of all filling factories in units of filling lines. The shared factory database 5 is connected to the production plan management server 4.

  The output screen generation server 6 is connected to the production plan management server 4, obtains output data from the production plan management server 4, generates output screen data, transmits it to the web server 3, and passes through the web server 3. The data of the output screen is transmitted to the computer 8 of the system user.

  As described above, the common factory database 5 registers all the filling lines 9,..., 9 of all the filling factories in units of filling lines, and records the production plan and results of each filling line for a predetermined period as one. Stored as production data.

  This production data has a data layer that can be hierarchically structured.

  FIG. 2-4 shows a hierarchical structure and data items of production data.

  As shown in FIG. 2-4, in the present embodiment, the production data has a first data layer, a second data layer, and a third data layer. Each data item from the first data layer to the third data layer has one production data for each different combination of values. When there is no need to make a hierarchical structure, there may be production data consisting of only the first data layer.

  The first data layer is data for managing production plans and results for a predetermined period of all filling lines in all filling factories at the level of product completion.

  In the example of Fig. 2-4, the data of the first data layer is the monthly schedule result table number (monthly schedule result table No.) indicating the production plan and results, filling line code (line code), processing date, order number , Product specifications (customer code, serial number, special category, version), product name, container classification, desired filling date, container cap type (lid type), number of orders, planned number of fillings (planned number), actual filling Number (actual number), number of orders over and over at the end of the month (remaining), number of daily fillings corresponding to the date or number of actual fillings (quantity 1 to quantity 31), product code, monthly filling quantity (settlement) Number) and a data item such as a filling schedule number related to the second data layer.

  The data of the second data layer is related to the first data layer by the filling schedule number of the data item. In the example of FIG. 2-4, the second data layer is a data hierarchy for managing the filling operation of the contents. ing.

  In the example of FIG. 2-4, the second data layer includes the contents of the filling (mixing classification), the desired filling date, the desired number of fillings, the filling completion date, the scheduled manufacturing start date, the planned manufacturing start time, and the planned manufacturing end date. And so on.

  The data of the third data layer is related to the first data layer and the second data layer by the filling schedule number of the data item. In the example of FIG. 2-4, the third data layer is a data hierarchy for managing the packaging work (packaging work).

  In addition, since the packaging material includes not only a container as described above but also a cap, a lid, and a novelty product or a seal attached to a PET bottle beverage or the like, the packaging operation may be performed in multiple steps. In such a case, the data of the third data layer may be plural, or a hierarchy of lower data layers may be provided. On the contrary, if there is no such work, the hierarchy may be omitted.

  In the example of Fig. 2-4, the third data layer is data items that specify the filling material (filling material number (filling material No.)), material classification, data items that specify the packaging material (manufacturer code), etc. Have items.

  For data items of production data, the right to search for the value of the data item, the value of the predetermined data item of production data is aggregated for the purpose of management necessary for the purpose of management separately from the purpose of referring to production data The right to collect and the right to access the virtual factory sharing system are determined according to the qualification of the system user. It should be noted that data items having a search right and a total right can be accessed.

  FIG. 2 shows a search right, a totaling right, and an access right for a filling company.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the filling company is provided with a search right for a predetermined filling line code and a processing year and month, and can access only the production data of the specific filling line code for a predetermined year and month. Thus, the search right is the right to search for a specific line code that can be accessed from all the filling line codes. For the retrieved production data, the value of the data item to which the filler has access right is displayed.

  FIG. 5 related to FIG. 2 shows an example of screen data when the filling company refers to predetermined production data.

  FIG. 5 shows an example in which a predetermined filling company refers to the production data of September 2009 for the filling line “XX5”.

  As shown in FIG. 5, among the production data for September 2009 of the filling line “XX5”, the filling company has the product code (product CD), can type, product name, version of the production data permitted to be accessed. (VER), number of orders received (orders received), actual number, remaining number of monthly filling plans (plan remaining), monthly actual number and planned remaining total number (settlement), excess / shortage at the end of the month relative to the number of orders (remaining) ), The value of the daily filling plan number or the actual filling number (quantity 1 to quantity 31) corresponding to the date can be referred to.

  As shown in Fig. 5, the product code (product CD) and the can-type symbol are the same as the product code used by the filling orderer and the manufacturer code used by the packaging manufacturer. Is noteworthy.

  Since production data uses the product code used by the filling orderer and the manufacturer code used by the packaging material manufacturer, the filling orderer and the packaging material manufacturer use their own codes to share Data in the factory database 5 can be directly searched, and a huge amount of work for matching code differences when ordering outside can be omitted.

  As can be seen by cross-reference to FIGS. 2 and 5, the filler can search for the filling line and the processing date, but the filling line “XX5” of the filling lines to which access is permitted. You have access to production data. In addition, the product code (product CD), can type, product name, version (VER), and number of orders received (orders) that are the data items with access rights among the production data items of “XX5” in September 2009 , The actual number, the remaining number of monthly filling plans (planned), the monthly actual number and the total planned remaining number (settlement), the number of orders received at the end of the month (remaining), and the daily corresponding to the date The value of the number of planned fillings or the number of actual fillings (quantity 1 to quantity 31) is referred to.

  The data access of the system user is as follows when viewed in relation to FIG. 3 and FIG.

  FIG. 3 shows the structure of the production data for the filling orderer, the search right, the aggregation right, and the access right.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the filling orderer is provided with a search right for “customer” which is a data item for specifying the filling orderer and the processing date, and a predetermined processing year of the production data of the specific filling orderer. The monthly production data is set to be accessible.

  Of the accessed filling orderer's production data, reference is made to the number of planned fillings, the number of actuals, the remaining number of planned fillings or the number of actual fillings corresponding to the date (1 to 31), and the value of the data item of the product code. Access rights are set for these data items.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of screen data when the filling orderer X2 accesses the production data of September 2009 of his product.

  The first half of the product name indicates the customer, and the second half of the product name indicates the product name. In the example of FIG. 6, only the products having “X2” in the product name are displayed. That is, the filling orderer X2 refers to the production data of only the products ordered by the user among the products produced in all the filling lines.

  Some of the production data in FIG. 6 are filled with “XX5” of the filling company in FIG. 5, and the other production data is production data filled in other filling lines. And FIG. 6 will be understood.

  Among the data items for which access rights are set in FIG. 3, the product code (product CD), product name, filling line (line), actual filling number (actual number), and remaining monthly filling plan number (plan remaining) The value of each data item is shown in FIG.

  As can be seen with reference to FIGS. 2, 5 and 3 and 6, according to the present invention, from the same production data, the filler can access only the production data of his own filling line, It is possible to access only the production data of the product, and among the data items of the production data that can be accessed, only the values of the necessary data items can be viewed.

  In other words, according to the present invention, different filling orderers can request a filling operation from a common filling company, and the filling company looks at the production data of its own filling line for all the filling orderer's products that are entrusted. be able to. On the other hand, filling orderers can see only the production data of their products across multiple filling companies, and filling orderers can prevent production plans and sales trends from leaking to competitors. it can.

  FIG. 4 shows the structure of production data for a packaging material manufacturer, the search right, the aggregation right, and the access right.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the production data is hierarchically structured according to the production process, and the packaging material manufacturer selects “material” which is the data item of the third data layer in addition to the filling line and processing date of the first data layer. Search rights are provided for “Classification” and “Manufacturer Code”.

  By referring to these production data, the packaging manufacturer can grasp in advance the quantity of packaging materials to be delivered, the delivery time, and the filling line of the delivery destination.

  As a result, packaging manufacturers can systematically manage the production and delivery of their packaging materials, and as a result, all the packaging materials can be gathered when needed for filling operations. It is possible to prevent the filling operation from being interrupted due to the lack.

  In the present invention, when the production data is common and exhaustive and it is not necessary to make a hierarchical structure as described above, the production data can be reduced by omitting the hierarchical structure. Data can have a very efficient data capacity.

  Here, returning to FIG. 1, the processing flow of the virtual factory system 1 of the filling industry will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, according to the virtual factory system 1 of the filling industry, the authentication server 2 authenticates whether or not the user of the computer (system user computer 8) that requested the connection is an authorized system user. If the user is a legitimate system user, specify the qualification of the system user, that is, whether it is a filling company, a filling orderer or a packaging material manufacturer, and identification information (ID), and connect to the web server 3. At the same time, the system user's qualification is transmitted to the web server 3.

  The web server 3 provides a user interface with the system user's computer 8, and transmits the processing request of the system user and the qualification of the system user to the production plan management server 4.

  The production plan management server 4 searches for all the filling lines and assigns the production to a predetermined filling line having a production capacity and shares the production plan of each filling line in the case of a filling work order from a filling orderer. Register to 5.

  In this way, the filling plan registration by the production plan management server 4 selects and assigns a filling line having a production capacity without distinction between filling factories, and therefore, a filling line having a production capacity is utilized. On the other hand, for the filling orderer, the physically scattered filling factories become one virtual factory, and the filling line of the virtual factory can be used.

  After registering the production plan in the shared factory database 5, the production plan management server 4 inputs the progress information from the filling line progress reporting means 7 of each filling factory every predetermined time, and stores the production data in the shared factory database 5. Update the actual number of daily production quantities. Here, the “progress report means 7” can be an automatic method using a manual input by a computer 8 of a system user of a filling company or a sequencer of a filling line.

  The production data has the scheduled number or actual number of daily production quantities, and the data value is updated by the production plan management server 4 based on the information from the progress report means 7, so that the latest progress status is always obtained. Can be held.

  That is, by referring to the production data reflecting the latest progress status, the filling orderer can grasp the production status in real time.

  When there is an inquiry request from a computer 8 of a predetermined system user, the production plan management server 4 has a search right and a totalization right for data items of production data in the shared factory database 5 according to the qualification of the system user. The access right is controlled, processing permitted by the system user's qualification is performed, and production data including data items permitted to be accessed by the system user is acquired from the shared factory database 5.

  As described with reference to FIG. 2-6, the search right, the totaling right, and the access right are controlled by the user of the system depending on the filling company, the filling orderer, and the packaging material manufacturer. The production data that can be performed is limited, and only the data items that have the access right among the accessed production data are acquired.

  The production plan management server 4 acquires the production data from the shared factory database 5 and transmits it to the output screen generation server 6.

  The output screen generation server 6 acquires production data from the production plan management server 4, generates screen data and transmits it to the web server 3, and the web server 3 transmits the screen data to the computer 8 of the system user. .

  In this way, the production plan management server 4 limits the production data that can be accessed by the system user, and obtains only the data items that have the access right among the accessed production data. If available, you can view the production data of the filling line of your own filling plant for the products of all the filling orderers you have contracted, while the production of your products assigned to multiple fillers if you are a filling orderer. Data can be viewed comprehensively, and this prevents information on production plans and sales trends of the filling orderer from being leaked. In addition, if the system user is a packaging manufacturer, the packaging material can be produced and shipped in a planned manner by comprehensively looking at the production plans for products related to the packaging materials that the user provides. It is possible to prevent a situation where the filling operation is interrupted due to the lack of.
