That is, the issuing means 49 creates print images of the statement of delivery 101 and the receipt 102 reflecting the replenishment amount determined by the replenishment amount determining means 47 , and transmits a print instruction including the print images to the issuing device 16 . As a result, a statement of delivery 101 and a receipt 102 reflecting the replenishment amount determined by the replenishment amount determination means 47 are issued. Note that only one of the statement of delivery 101 and the receipt 102 may be issued. Also, the statement of delivery 101 and the receipt 102 may be electronic data. Note that the issuing device 16 may be installed in the tank truck 2 or may be separated from the tank truck 2 .

The abnormality notifying means 50 determines whether or not the difference between the supply amount determined by the supply amount determining means 47 and the scheduled supply amount of the scheduled supply amount information received by the scheduled supply information receiving means 41 is greater than or equal to a certain value. If it is determined that the difference between the replenishment amount and the expected replenishment amount is greater than a certain value, the display unit 35 displays the fact that there is an abnormality to inform the replenishment operator of the abnormality. In addition, the anomaly notification means 50 provides the location information (latitude and longitude) of the replenishment destination included in the replenishment destination information, and the location information (latitude and longitude) of the portable terminal 3 when replenishing the storage tank 1 with cooking oil. ) does not match, the display unit 35 displays that there is an abnormality to notify the replenishment operator of the abnormality. The location information of the mobile terminal 3 is acquired by the GPS reception function unit.

(Cooking oil supply method)
Next, a cooking oil replenishing method by the cooking oil replenishing system 100 will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, in the cooking oil replenishment method, first, the management server 4 transmits replenishment schedule information based on the replenishment plan to the portable terminal 3 (S1). On the other hand, the mobile terminal 3 receives the supply schedule information from the management server 4 by the supply schedule information receiving means 41 (S2) (supply destination information acquisition step), and stores the received supply schedule information in the storage unit 32. (S3). After storing the replenishment schedule information, the replenishment operator moves to the facility where the replenishment destination storage tank 1 is located by the tank truck 2 (S4).

After moving to the replenishment destination facility, confirmation work before replenishment is performed (S5 to S11). In the confirmation work before replenishment, first, the code reading means 42 reads the identification information and stored oil information of the storage tank 1 of the replenishment destination from the code display 21 of the storage tank 1 (S5) (identification information acquisition step). After that, from the oil type code indicator 15 of the replenishment pipe 12 connected to the storage portion 11a serving as the supply source, the replenishment oil information of the storage portion 11a is read (S6). The reading of the oil type code indicator 15 (S6) may be performed before the reading of the code indicator 21 (S5).

After reading the identification information and the stored oil information of the storage tank 1 and the replenishment oil information of the storage section 11a, the mobile terminal 3 stores the read identification information of the storage tank 1 and the storage section 32 by the collation means 43. The replenishment destination information of the replenishment schedule information is collated (S7), and the read stored oil information of the storage tank 1 and the read replenishment oil information of the reservoir 11a are collated (S8) (collation step). After that, the determination means 44 determines whether or not the edible oil has been replenished to the storage tank 1 based on the collation result (S9) (determination step). Specifically, when it is determined that the identification information of the storage tank 1 and the replenishment destination information match, and it is determined that the stored oil information and the replenishment oil information match, replenishment of the cooking oil to the storage tank 1 is performed. If it is determined to be "correct" and it is determined that the identification information of the storage tank 1 and the replenishment destination information do not match, or if it is determined that the stored oil information and the replenishment oil information do not match, the edible oil is replenished to the storage tank 1. is "no".

After the determination means 44 has determined whether or not the cooking oil has been replenished to the storage tank 1, the determination result display means 45 displays the determination result of the determination means 44 (S10). On the other hand, the replenishment operator confirms the displayed judgment result (S11), and when it is confirmed that the replenishment of the cooking oil to the storage tank 1 is "correct", Replenishment is performed (S12) (replenishment step). That is, the nozzle of the replenishment pipe 12 that has read the oil type code display 15 is connected to the storage tank 1 that has read the code display 21, and the pump (not shown) is driven to supply the storage tank 1 with the replenishment. Edible oil is replenished from the reservoir 11a to which the pipe 12 is connected. Although not shown, when it is confirmed that the edible oil is not replenished to the storage tank 1, the replenishment destination storage tank 1 or replenishment source storage section 11a is incorrect. to the correct one, and perform the confirmation work before replenishment again.

When the replenishment of the cooking oil to the storage tank 1 is completed, the tank truck 2 transmits the information of the flow rate of the cooking oil replenished to the storage tank 1 from the storage part 11a to the portable terminal 3 by the flow meter 13 as shown in FIG. (S13). On the other hand, the portable terminal 3 receives the information on the flow rate of cooking oil from the flowmeter 13 by the measurement result receiving means 46 (S14). Here, the flow rate of the cooking oil transmitted from the flow meter 13 is measured during the replenishment step (S12). Instead of the tank truck 2 transmitting information on the flow rate to the mobile terminal 3 (S13) and the mobile terminal 3 receiving the information (S14), A configuration may be employed in which flow rate information is read and the read flow rate information is input to the portable terminal 3 .

After that, the tank truck 2 transmits temperature information of the cooking oil supplied from the storage portion 11a to the storage tank 1 to the portable terminal 3 by the oil temperature sensor 14 (S15). On the other hand, the portable terminal 3 receives the temperature information of the cooking oil from the flowmeter 13 by the measurement result receiving means 46 (S16). Here, the temperature of the cooking oil transmitted from the oil temperature sensor 14 is measured immediately before or at the same time as the replenishment step (S12). In addition, the structure which performs transmission (S15) of the information of the temperature of cooking oil before transmission (S13) of the information of the flow volume of cooking oil may be sufficient. In addition, instead of the tank truck 2 transmitting the temperature information to the mobile terminal 3 (S15) and the mobile terminal 3 receiving this (S16), The temperature information may be read and the read temperature information may be input to the portable terminal 3 .

When the information on the flow rate and temperature of the cooking oil is received, the portable terminal 3 uses the replenishment amount determination means 47 to determine the replenishment amount of the cooking oil for the replenishment work based on the received flow rate and temperature of the cooking oil (S17). That is, the received flow rate of cooking oil is converted into mass by the received cooking oil temperature, and this is determined as the replenishment amount.

After confirming the replenishment amount, the portable terminal 3 detects the difference between the replenishment amount determined by the replenishment amount determining means 47 and the scheduled replenishment amount of the scheduled replenishment amount information received by the scheduled replenishment information receiving means 41 by the abnormality notification means 50. It is determined whether or not it is a certain amount or more (S18), and if it is determined that the difference between the confirmed supply amount and the planned supply amount in the information of the planned supply amount is equal to or more than a certain amount (S18: Yes), it indicates that there is an abnormality. is displayed (S19). In the present embodiment, when it is determined that the difference between the determined replenishment amount and the scheduled replenishment amount information is equal to or greater than a certain value (S18: Yes), a message indicating that there is an abnormality is displayed, and the determined replenishment amount is displayed. When it is determined that the difference between the amount and the scheduled replenishment amount in the scheduled replenishment amount information is not equal to or greater than a certain value (S18: No), the determination result of the replenishment amount is not displayed. Regardless, the configuration may be such that the determination result of the replenishment amount is displayed.

After that, the portable terminal 3 transmits the replenishment result information to the management server 4 by the replenishment result information transmission means 48 (S20). In response, the management server 4 receives the replenishment result information from the portable terminal 3 (S21). In addition to the replenishment result information, information on the determination result of the replenishment amount in S18 may be transmitted.

After that, the portable terminal 3 creates print images of the statement of delivery 101 and the receipt 102 based on the replenishment amount by the issuing means 49, and transmits a print instruction including the print images to the issuing device 16 (S22).

(Action and effect of embodiment)
As described above, according to the configuration of the above embodiment, the identification information of the storage tank 1 is read from the code display body 21 attached to the storage tank 1 to be replenished with cooking oil, and the identification information and the replenishment destination information are read. Since it is configured to check whether the replenishment is correct or not, it is possible to confirm whether or not the storage tank 1 to which the cooking oil is replenished is correct. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the edible oil supply destination is mistaken during the replenishment work.

In addition, since the storage oil information of the storage tank 1 of the replenishment destination and the replenishment oil information of the replenishment source storage unit 11a are collated to determine whether the replenishment is correct or not, whether the type of edible oil to be replenished is correct or not. You can check whether Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the type of edible oil to be replenished is mistaken during replenishment work.

Further, since the amount of cooking oil supplied to the storage tank 1 is determined based on the measurement result of the flow meter 13, the amount of cooking oil supplied to the storage tank 1 can be accurately grasped. .

In addition, since the volume (flow rate) of the cooking oil measured by the flow meter 13 is converted into mass by the temperature of the cooking oil, and this is determined as the delivery amount, an accurate replenishment amount is obtained without using a weighing scale. can be obtained with a simple configuration.

In addition, by having an abnormality notification means 50 that displays an abnormality (error) when the difference between the determined supply amount and the planned supply amount based on the supply plan is a certain amount or more, the flow meter 13 and the oil temperature sensor 14 abnormalities can be quickly grasped.

Also, if the location information (latitude/longitude) of the replenishment destination information and the location information (latitude/longitude) of the portable terminal 3 when replenishing the cooking oil to the storage tank 1 do not match, an abnormality (error) is generated. By having the abnormality notification means 50 for displaying, it is possible to grasp that there is an inconsistency in the replenishment destination information and/or the identification information of the storage tank 1 . That is, by collating the position information of the replenishment destination information with the position information of the mobile terminal 3 at the time of replenishment, it is possible to grasp that the replenishment destination information is inconsistent. Then, in addition to the matching result of the location information of the replenishment destination information and the location information of the mobile terminal 3 at the time of replenishment, the collation result of the replenishment destination information and the identification information of the storage tank 1 is referred to. It can be confirmed that the recorded identification information of the storage tank 1 is inconsistent. For example, if it is determined that the position information of the replenishment destination information and the position information of the mobile terminal 3 at the time of replenishment do not match even though the replenishment destination information and the identification information of the storage tank 1 match, the replenishment destination information is wrong, the replenishment destination information and the identification information of the storage tank 1 match, so it is understood that the identification information of the storage tank 1 is also incorrect. This makes it possible to grasp that the identification information of the storage tank 1 recorded on the code display body 21 is also incorrect.

In addition, when the tank truck 2 replenishes the storage tank 1 with the scheduled replenishment amount based on the replenishment plan, the replenishment work can be automatically stopped because it is configured to be able to automatically stop replenishment of the edible oil. When doing so, it is possible to suppress situations in which the amount of edible oil supplied to the storage tank 1 is incorrect, or the amount of edible oil supplied exceeds the allowable amount of the storage tank 1, causing the edible oil to overflow.
