Description

  The present invention relates to a collection amount adjustment support device, a collection amount adjustment support method, and a program capable of supporting adjustment of a collection amount at a collection point or the like for agricultural products.

  Conventionally, in the agricultural field, shipping operations have been carried out by producer groups formed by producers in order to increase the efficiency of shipping operations for agricultural products. In addition, in order to support the shipping operation by such a producer group, for example, Patent Document 1 has a gap between the shipping amount and shipping time required by the shipping destination and the harvesting amount and harvesting time in the producer. If you have disclosed a system that adjusts the actual shipping volume.

  Moreover, in recent years, the number of cases in which producer groups make contracts with large actual consumers has increased. In such a case, the producer group operates to complement each other's yield in order to secure the contract shipment amount to the actual customer. Specifically, the manager of the collection / shipping site managed by the producer organization uses a communication means such as a telephone to communicate with each producer in order to adjust the amount of agricultural products collected from the producers who belong to the organization. Instructs harvesting and collection. The manager includes an instructor who provides agricultural guidance, an operator of a collection area, a producer, and the like.

  By the way, in general, some agricultural products delivered to the collection and shipping site by producers do not conform to the shipping standards (whether there are scratches, whether there are worms, size, color, etc.). Accordingly, in the collection / shipping area, a preparation operation is performed to discard the delivered agricultural products that do not satisfy the shipping standards, and only the amount of agricultural products that meet the shipping standards is counted as the collected amount. For this reason, the administrator needs to adjust the collection amount by predicting the amount (discard amount) discarded by the preparation work.

JP-A-10-222558

  However, since the prediction of the waste amount actually depends on the experience and intuition of the manager, it may be difficult to adjust the amount of collection. For example, in a year when there is more rainfall than usual, vegetables grow too much, and the ratio of the amount of waste to the amount of delivery becomes higher than usual, which may cause a situation where the collection adjustment is not successful.

(Embodiment)
Hereinafter, a collection amount adjustment support device, a collection amount adjustment support method, and a program according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Device configuration]
Initially, the structure of the collection amount adjustment assistance apparatus in this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a collection amount adjustment support device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The collection amount adjustment support device in the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is a device for supporting adjustment of the collection amount of agricultural products collected at a collection and shipping site. Also, in this embodiment, “adjustment of the amount of collected agricultural products” means that the amount of agricultural products collected from the multiple producers to the collection site reaches the planned amount. Refers to adjusting the amount of agricultural products that each producer brings to the collection point by contacting each producer.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the collection amount adjustment support device 10 includes a data acquisition unit 11, a collection amount prediction unit 12, and a data notification unit 13. Among these, the data acquisition part 11 acquires the delivery amount of the agricultural product delivered to the collection / shipping place.

  Further, the collection amount prediction unit 12 applies the set rule to the acquired delivery amount, and the amount of agricultural products that can be shipped out of the delivered agricultural products (hereinafter referred to as “estimated collection amount”). Is estimated. The data notification unit 13 notifies the estimated collection amount to the outside.

  Thus, according to the collection amount adjustment support device 10, the amount of agricultural products satisfying the shipping standard can be predicted from the amount of agricultural products delivered from the producer. As a result, the manager can adjust the amount of collection with reference to the predicted amount of agricultural products, so that occurrence of a situation in which the adjustment of the amount of collection is not successful is suppressed.

Note that the “amount” of agricultural products in the present embodiment may be expressed in units of mass such as Kg or in units of volume such as m ³ , and the number of containers such as buckets used in a collection place etc. It may be expressed as

  Here, the collection amount adjustment support device 10 shown in FIG. 1 will be described more specifically. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the collection amount adjustment support device 10 includes a producer terminal (hereinafter referred to as a “producer terminal”) 20 and a collection center manager terminal (hereinafter “management”). Connected to a network terminal (not shown in FIG. 1).

  In the present embodiment, the collection amount adjustment support device 10 is also connected to a collection point management computer 40 (hereinafter referred to as “management computer 40”) via a network (not shown in FIG. 1). Connected. The management computer 40 is used for inputting and managing data such as the amount of delivered agricultural products and the amount of collection at the collection site.

  The “collection amount” refers to the amount of agricultural products that are determined to be shippable in the preparation work for the delivered crops. In addition, whether or not shipment is possible in the preparation work is determined based on, for example, a shipping standard that is set in advance according to the type of agricultural product, production time, shipping destination, and the like.

  In the present embodiment, the data acquisition unit 11 acquires the delivery amount from the management computer 40. Furthermore, the data acquisition unit 11 also acquires the amount of collection from the management computer 40. The acquired delivery amount and collection amount are output to the collection amount prediction unit 12.

  As described above, the collection amount prediction unit 12 estimates the estimated collection amount based on the rule, and outputs the estimated collection amount to the data notification unit 13. The data notification unit 13 notifies the manager terminal 30 of the estimated collection amount. Thereby, since the administrator can know the estimated collection amount, the adjustment of the collection amount can proceed smoothly.

  In the present embodiment, the rule may be set for each category. In this case, the collection amount prediction unit 12 estimates the estimated collection amount for each category. The category includes the type of agricultural product, the production period, the shipping destination, the producer, and any combination thereof. This is because the proportion of the amount discarded without conforming to the shipping standard varies depending on the type of agricultural product, the production period, the shipping destination, and the producer.

  As a specific example of the rule, for example, there is a rule that stipulates that “the delivery amount is multiplied by the conversion coefficient k, and the obtained value is estimated as the estimated collection amount”. In this case, the conversion coefficient k is appropriately set by the manager of the pickup location based on past results. Further, when the rule is set for each category, the conversion coefficient k is set for each type, for each shipping destination, for each producer, or for any arbitrary combination thereof. Further, the determination of which category of rule should be applied may be made in advance by an administrator prior to operation.

  In the present embodiment, the collection amount prediction unit 12 can further update the rule based on the collection amount and the delivery amount. For example, assuming that the rule using the above-described conversion coefficient k is adopted, the collection amount prediction unit 12 calculates a ratio between the collection amount and the delivery amount, and updates the conversion coefficient k based on the calculated ratio. To do.

  Specifically, for example, if the rule is updated every time agricultural products are delivered from the producer, the collection amount prediction unit 12 uses the calculated ratio as the conversion factor k as it is to update. Run. Also, if the rule is updated after the end of the business at the collection site, the collection amount prediction unit 12 calculates the average value of all the ratios calculated every time the agricultural product is delivered, and converts the calculated average value. Update is performed by using the coefficient k.

  Furthermore, the rule may be updated every set period such as monthly. In this case, the collection amount prediction unit 12 can calculate a ratio between the total amount of delivery during the set period and the total amount of collection during the set period, and can use this ratio as the updated conversion coefficient k.

  The conversion factor k updated in this way is a value based on the amount of the agricultural product actually delivered and the actual amount after the actual preparation work, so the accuracy of the estimated collection amount is improved. Will be planned.

  Moreover, when the rule is set for every category, the collection amount prediction unit 12 updates the rule for each category. That is, as described above, when the conversion coefficient k is set for each type, for each shipping destination, for each producer, or for any arbitrary combination thereof, the conversion coefficient k is updated for each type, for each shipping destination. Every time, every producer, or any combination of these.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the collection amount prediction unit 12 includes the collection amount acquired by the data acquisition unit 11 and the estimated collection amount estimated for agricultural products that have not yet been prepared during the set period. , Can be used to estimate the shipment amount (hereinafter “estimated shipment amount”) during the set period.

  Specifically, the set period includes a period from the start of business on the day to the end of business. In this case, the collection amount prediction unit 12 totals the collection amount acquired by the data acquisition unit 11 up to that time and the estimated collection amount of agricultural products that have not been prepared by that time for each set time. Then, the obtained total value is used as the estimated shipping amount. Further, the collection amount prediction unit 12 outputs the estimated shipment amount to the data notification unit 13.

  Further, the collection amount prediction unit 12 can compare the estimated estimated shipment amount with a preset scheduled shipment amount. The “scheduled shipment amount” is a shipment amount that is negotiated in advance between a producer group that operates the collection place and an actual consumer in the market. When the collection amount prediction unit 12 performs the comparison, the collection amount prediction unit 12 also outputs the comparison result to the data notification unit 13.

  The data notification unit 13 notifies both the producer terminal 20 and the manager terminal 30 of the estimated shipping amount and the comparison result. Thereby, since the manager and the producer can easily predict whether or not the shipment amount of the agricultural product will reach the planned shipment amount, it is possible to easily avoid the failure in the adjustment operation of the collection amount.

  The data notification unit 13 can also transmit the conversion coefficient k to the producer terminal 20. In this aspect, since the conversion coefficient k is fed back to the producer, the producer can learn an appropriate amount as the delivery amount. For this reason, it is expected that the producer can adjust the delivery amount autonomously, and as a result, the effect of suppressing the occurrence frequency of the excess and shortage of the delivery amount can be expected.

[Device operation]
Next, the operation of the collection amount adjustment support device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the collection amount adjustment support method is implemented by operating the collection amount adjustment support device 10.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an operation at the time of calculation processing of the estimated collection amount of the collection amount adjustment support device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the collection amount prediction unit 12 first determines whether or not the agricultural product has been delivered (step A1). Specifically, the collection amount prediction unit 12 determines whether or not the delivery amount of the newly delivered agricultural product is acquired by the data acquisition unit 11.

  If the result of determination in step A1 is that no crop has been delivered, the collection amount prediction unit 12 enters a standby state, and executes step A1 again after the set time has elapsed. On the other hand, if the result of determination in step A1 is that the crop has been delivered, the collection amount prediction unit 12 applies the rule to the delivery amount acquired by the data acquisition unit 11, and specifically, a conversion coefficient. The estimated amount of pickup is calculated by multiplying k (step A2).

  Next, the collection amount prediction unit 12 outputs the calculated estimated collection amount to the data notification unit 13, and notifies the administrator terminal 30 of the estimated collection amount (step A3).

  Next, the collection amount prediction unit 12 determines whether or not the collection amount for the agricultural products that are the targets of Steps A1 to A3 is input to the management computer 40 (Step A4). Specifically, when the collection amount is input to the management computer 40, it is acquired by the data acquisition unit 11. Therefore, the collection amount prediction unit 12 determines whether the collection amount is acquired by the data acquisition unit 11. judge.

  As a result of Step A4, when the collection amount is not input to the management computer 40, the collection amount prediction unit 12 enters a standby state, and executes Step A4 again after the set time has elapsed. On the other hand, if the collection amount is input to the management computer 40 as a result of step A4, the collection amount prediction unit 12 updates the rule (step A5).

  Specifically, in step A5, the collection amount prediction unit 12 calculates the ratio between the collection amount acquired by the data acquisition unit 11 and the delivery amount, and sets the calculated ratio as a new conversion factor k. Update.

  When the above steps A1 to A5 are executed, the manager can know the estimated collection amount of the delivered agricultural products, and can adjust the collection amount with reference to this. As a result, the occurrence of a situation in which the adjustment of the collection amount is not successful is suppressed.

  Next, an estimated shipment amount calculation process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation during the calculation process of the estimated shipment amount of the collection amount adjustment support device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 3, first, the collection amount prediction unit 12 calculates the total collection amount acquired by the data acquisition unit 11 from the start of business to the present when the set time comes (step B1). .

  Next, the collection amount prediction unit 12 calculates the estimated shipment amount by adding up the total collection amount calculated in Step B1 and the estimated collection amount calculated for the agricultural products that have not been prepared yet (Step B2). ).

  Next, the collection amount prediction unit 12 compares the estimated shipment amount calculated in step B2 with a preset scheduled shipment amount (step B3). Then, the collection amount prediction unit 12 outputs a comparison result between the estimated shipment amount and the planned shipment amount to the data notification unit 13.

  Next, the data notification unit 13 notifies both the producer terminal 20 and the manager terminal 30 of the comparison result between the estimated shipment amount planned shipment amount and the comparison result (step B4). When Step B4 is executed, a comparison result between the estimated shipment amount and the planned shipment amount is displayed on the screens of the producer terminal 20 and the administrator terminal 30.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of information displayed on the screen of the administrator terminal in the embodiment of the present invention. In the example of FIG. 4, the delivery amount of each producer is displayed in time series for each agricultural product item on the screen of the administrator terminal, and the estimated shipment amount and the estimated shipment amount calculated at each set time are displayed. Is displayed. In FIG. 4, “Spinach” is selected. Moreover, in FIG. 4, AE has shown the collection amount from a producer.

  As described above, when the above steps B1 to B4 are executed, the administrator can grasp at a glance what state the collection amount is adjusted. For this reason, failure in the adjustment work of the collection amount can be easily avoided.
