Description

  The present invention relates to a method for preventing the outflow of dissimilar materials and a system for preventing the outflow of dissimilar materials for preventing a product from being erroneously shipped, and in particular, a thin plate (steel strip) having the same appearance with different strengths and grades. The present invention relates to a method for preventing dissimilar material outflow of steel products and a system for preventing outflow of dissimilar materials for preventing steel products such as thick plates, steel pipes, and shaped steels from being shipped by mistake.

  For example, in a steel site, there are many cases where steel products having the same appearance at first glance have different strengths, grades, and the like. For this reason, steel products should be given identification numbers, and the identification numbers should be directly specified on steel products, or labels etc. with identification numbers (or barcodes indicating identification numbers, etc.) should be affixed to steel products. Management of steel products. Specifically, for example, at the time of shipment, the operator collates this identification number with the control table on hand, and the shipment operation is performed.

  However, when the operator compares the identification number with the management slip, human error is likely to occur, and there is a possibility that a steel product (hereinafter, referred to as a different material) different from the ordered steel product may be shipped. Spills of different materials cause extra procedures such as returns and reordering by customers, and also have a large impact, such as delaying delivery due to customer production planning. Therefore, it is necessary to completely eliminate the shipment of dissimilar materials.

  For this reason, conventionally, various methods for preventing the outflow of different materials have been proposed. For example, in Patent Document 1, when the identification number is manually input to the handy terminal device, the computer of the handy terminal device transmits the identification number to the shipping management device (main computer), and the shipping management device performs the collation processing A method and system for product shipment reconciliation is disclosed. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a shipping comparison method and system in which a barcode reader reads an identification number (bar code reflecting a label display item) and performs a matching operation in the same manner as Patent Document 1.

  By the way, in the shipping check method and system disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, manually input identification number or data of barcode information is transmitted from the handy terminal device or the barcode reader to the shipping management device or the distribution management system Thereafter, on the host computer which is the shipping management apparatus or the physical distribution management system, the collating process is carried out between the transmitted information data and the article database.

  However, since the actual product database consists of a large amount of data, it takes time to check the data, and it is difficult to perform quick data processing. That is, the host computer handles a large number of products of various types and is used not only for information on the product itself such as shipping destination and delivery date, but also for information prior to delivery of the product, shipping order, storage place in the warehouse or shipping. Since other shipping control information such as trailer information is also handled, the electronic data is enormous, and various judgment processes are performed based on such a wide variety of information, so that a load is always applied. However, performing the above-described matching process on such a host computer may also hinder efficient and prompt shipping procedures.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for preventing foreign material outflow and a system for preventing foreign material outflow that can prevent foreign material outflow quickly and efficiently.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a method for preventing foreign material outflow of a product, which is subjected to collation processing at the time of shipment of the product to prevent the outflow of different materials,
The shipping management device transmits the identification information of the current product ordered to be shipped via the communication means to the portable information terminal,
When the identification information marked on the product is input to the portable information terminal, the portable information terminal collates the marked identification information with the identification information of the product ordered to be shipped.
When the marked identification information and the identification information of the actual product ordered to be shipped coincide with each other, the portable information terminal transmits the collation result to the shipment management device.
The shipping management device permits shipping of the product based on the comparison result;
It is characterized by

Further, the present invention is a foreign material outflow prevention system for a product, which performs collation processing at the time of product shipment to prevent the outflow of different materials,
A shipping management apparatus that manages shipping of the product and transmits identification information of the current product ordered to be shipped via the communication means;
When the identification information of the goods commanded for shipping that is sent by the shipment management apparatus is received and the identification information marked on the product is input, the identification information of the marked goods and the identification of the goods ordered for shipment A portable information terminal that collates information and transmits the collation result to the shipping management device when the marked identification information matches the identification information of the current product ordered to be shipped;
Equipped with
The shipping management device may be configured to permit shipping of a product when receiving the matching result from the portable information terminal.

In the present invention relating to the different material outflow prevention method of the product and the different material outflow prevention system, a part of the data of the shipping management device (at least identification information of the current product ordered to be shipped) is sent to the portable information terminal in advance, The identification information is collated in the portable information terminal itself at the shipping site where the identification information marked on the product is input, not in the shipment management apparatus in a state in which the load is always applied. Therefore, the amount of data processing on the side involved in the collation processing is small, and therefore identification information can be collated quickly and efficiently to prevent foreign material outflow. That is, it is possible to prevent the product different from the ordered product from being shipped by immediately performing the collation processing (confirmation of the erroneous shipment) at the site without applying a load to the shipping management apparatus. In addition, since the shipping permission is issued only when the marked identification information and the identification information of the actual product ordered to be shipped match (only when the shipping management device receives the verification result), the foreign material leaks safely and reliably. Can be prevented.
In particular, the foreign material spill prevention method and the foreign material spill prevention system for such products handle a large number of various types of products, and it is necessary to process a large amount of electronic data with the main computer, and then check the shipment of steel products at shipment. Preferably it is used for processing.

  In the above configuration, the identification information may be any information that can identify the product, such as an identification number. Further, the information sent from the shipping management device to the portable information terminal may include not only the identification information but also other shipping management information as long as it does not hinder the rapid and efficient foreign material outflow prevention. Moreover, the input to the portable information terminal of the identification information marked on the product may be performed manually or automatically.

  According to the foreign material outflow prevention method and the foreign material outflow prevention system of the product of the present invention, the identification information collation process is performed in the portable information terminal, so that foreign material outflow can be prevented promptly and efficiently.

Next, the operator at the shipping site confirms the reception of the identification number of the product ordered for shipping, and inputs the identification number marked on the steel product 8 to be shipped to the handy terminal 4 (step S2). When the identification number marked in this manner is input to the handy terminal device 4, the handy terminal device 4 automatically collates the input marking identification number with the item identification number of the received shipping instruction (Step S3).

  Then, when the identification number that has been marked matches the identification number of the actual product for which shipment instruction has been made by this verification processing (when the determination result in step S4 is yes), the handy terminal device 4 communicates the verification result indicating that match. It transmits to the shipping management apparatus 2 via the means 10, and the shipping management apparatus 2 receives the collation result (step S5). On the other hand, if the marked identification number does not match the identification number of the product ordered for shipment (if the determination result in step S4 is no), for example, the result is presented to the operator or prompting for another input. At that time, the collation result is not transmitted to the shipping management device 2.

  When the collation result (collation result that the marked identification number and the identification number of the current product ordered to be shipped coincided) is sent to the shipment management device 2, the shipment management device 2 is a steel product 8 based on the collation result. Are permitted to ship (step S6). That is, in the case where it is determined that the steel product 8 matched in this way by the handy terminal device 4 is suitable for shipping (it is determined not to be a different material), the steel product 8 is shipped. . Information for permitting such shipping may be transmitted as a signal to the handy terminal device 4 (solid arrow in FIG. 2) or may be notified to the operator directly (dotted arrow in FIG. 2). Further, with such shipping permission, for example, the data of the steel product stored in the shipping management device 2 is appropriately corrected, and necessary documents (such as shipping documents) are printed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, a part of the data of the shipping management device 2 (at least the identification number of the current product ordered to be shipped) is sent to the handy terminal device 4 in advance, The identification processing is not performed in the shipping management device 2 in a loaded state, but in the handy terminal device 4 at the shipping site where the identification number marked on the steel product 8 is input. 4), the amount of data processing on the side involved in the collation processing is small, and therefore identification numbers can be collated quickly and efficiently to prevent foreign material outflow. That is, it is possible to prevent the steel products different from the ordered steel products 8 from being shipped by immediately performing the collation processing (confirmation of the erroneous shipment) at the site without applying a load to the shipping management device 2. In addition, since the shipping permission is issued only when the marked identification number matches the identification number of the actual product ordered to be shipped (only when the shipping management device 2 receives the verification result), the foreign material outflow is surely made. It can prevent.
