A production progress automatic estimation system according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the process of cooking side dishes in a factory for preparing side dishes and box lunches (hereinafter referred to as side dishes) in which an automatic production progress estimation system 2 (see FIG. 3) according to the embodiment is installed. A delicatessen production factory has multiple areas, for example, an area for producing boiled foods and an area for producing salads. A packaging area for heaping and packaging and a sorting room for sorting the ready-made dishes that have been heap-packed in the packaging area are provided.

For example, in an area where boiled foods are produced, as shown in FIG. 1, the raw materials such as meat, fish, and vegetables that have arrived are first brought to the cooking area. In the cooking area, each raw material is washed and cut in the raw material processing chamber, and boiled side dishes are cooked in the cooking chamber. The cooked side dish of boiled foods is cooled in the cooling room and stored as a semi-finished product in the semi-finished product refrigerator.

The cooked side dishes stored in the semi-finished product refrigerator are brought to the packaging area in time for the scheduled shipping time, and are plated and wrapped by workers in the plated packaging room. In the pile packing room, a plurality of pile packing lines shown in FIG. 2 are installed (for example, lines A to H). Here, in the serving packaging line (production line), serving packaging of prepared dishes (food order items) assigned in the production plan is performed.

Next, the stacking packaging line (line A) shown in FIG. 2 will be described. The A line is provided with a belt conveyor 20 for conveying packed prepared foods. A plurality of stacking and packaging tables 22 are provided for the work. A metal detector 24 for detecting metallic foreign matter, an X-ray inspection device 26 for detecting foreign matter, and a labeler 14 for outputting a label to be affixed to the package of prepared foods are arranged in this order on the downstream side in the conveying direction. Therefore, when the worker puts the side dish which has been packed and packed on the packing table 22 on the belt conveyor 20, the side dish passes through the metal detector 24 and the X-ray inspection device 26 in order to detect foreign substances.

The prepared food that has passed through the X-ray inspection device 26 is conveyed to the labeler 14, where a label is attached to the package of the conveyed prepared dish. Workers place the labeled side dishes on a tray and carry them into the sorting room. Lines B to H have the same configuration as line A, and side dishes are arranged and packaged. done. Then, the worker puts the labeled side dish on a tray and carries it into the sorting room.

Next, an automatic production progress estimation system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the system configuration of the production progress automatic estimation system 2 according to the embodiment. The production progress automatic estimation system 2 includes a control unit 4, a storage unit 6, an input unit display unit 8, an input unit 10, a communication unit 12, and further includes a plurality of labelers 14 (14a, 14b, 14c...) and a plurality of displays. A portion 16 (16a, 16b, 16c, . . . ) is provided.

The control unit 4 controls the operation of each unit of the production progress automatic estimation system 2 . As shown in FIG. 4, the storage unit 6 stores order items (food order items), an estimated time for each order item, an estimated end time, an estimated shipping time, the number of orders received, the actual number, the actual end time, the progress rate, and the like. It has a storage area for Here, the estimated end time is the time at which the serving packaging is scheduled to end, and the estimated time is a time a predetermined time before the expected ending time of the serving packaging.

The input unit display unit 8 displays an input screen or the like for changing order reception information or the like stored in the storage unit 6 . The input unit 10 includes a keyboard, a mouse, etc., and performs input to an input screen or the like.

Order information including the number of orders for food order items, delivery date and time, etc. is input from the input unit 10 or received by the communication unit 12 from the shipping destination (receiver) or the like via the Internet line or the like. Here, FIG. 5 shows order information. In FIG. 5, 200 pieces of item A (food order item A) have been ordered from company A store a (receiver), and the delivery time is 18:00. It is shown that. It also indicates that 100 units of item A have been ordered from store b of company A and the delivery time is 19:00, and that 191 units of item A have been ordered from store c of company A and the delivery time is 18:30. ing. The order information similar to the order information from Company A is also received from Company B, Company C, etc. via the communication unit 12 or the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, one labeler 14 is installed for each stacking packaging line. The display unit 16 is, for example, a 60-inch monitor, which is arranged in each of the cooking area and the packaging area, and displays a screen showing the progress of production of the food order item. Note that a plurality of display units 16 may be arranged in each area instead of one unit. Also, the number of display units 16 to be arranged in each area may be determined according to the size of the area. Also, one display unit 16 may be shared by a plurality of lines.

Also, in order to monitor the production progress, a display unit 16 may be installed to display production progress information for the administrator. That is, a display section 16 for displaying production progress information for all production lines and a display section 16 for displaying production progress information for each production line may be provided.

Next, a description will be given of the processing when order information is transmitted from the shipping destination (receiver) to the production progress automatic estimation system 2. FIG. The control unit 4 acquires order information as shown in FIG. 5 via the input unit 10 or the communication unit 12, and stores each item of the order information in the storage area of the storage unit 6 based on the order information. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the order item included in the order information, such as item A, is stored as the order item. In addition, the number of orders is a value obtained by aggregating the number of orders for item A for each order recipient included in the order information. 491, which is the sum of the number of orders received, is stored. As the scheduled shipping time, the shipping time determined so as to meet the earliest delivery time among store A, store b, and store C of company A, which aggregated the number of orders received for item A, is stored and scheduled to end. The time stores the time that is a predetermined time (for example, 45 minutes to 1 hour) before the shipping time, and the estimated time is the time that is a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) before the scheduled end time. remembered.

The number of production results stores the number of production results for each food order item to which a label is affixed by the labeler 14 after serving and packaging. The progress rate is a value indicating the progress of production, and stores, for example, the ratio of the actual number of items A produced to the number of orders received for item A. FIG. The actual end time stores the time when the value indicating the state of production progress reached 100%.

Next, the production of food order items using all production lines (lines A to H) will be described. A storage unit (production capacity storage unit) 6 stores production results when all production lines (lines A to H) are used for production, that is, the production capacity of all production lines. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, 65 workers (the number of workers) are assigned to all production lines (A line to H line), and a plan is made to produce 6000 food order items (food / H), As a result of actual production, we were able to produce 6050 (Food/H).In addition, 58 workers (number of personnel) were assigned to all production lines (A line to H line), and food orders were received. Past production results are stored, such as a plan to produce 6000 items (meal/hour), and as a result of actual production, 5400 (meal/hour) could be produced.

Next, the case where all production lines (lines A to H) are used to produce ordered food items will be described. Here, a case will be described in which 65 workers are assigned to all production lines (lines A to H). First, the input unit 10 is used to input the number of food items to be produced and the production start time of the food order item, and then the number of personnel to be assigned to all production lines (lines A to H). For example, 6000 meals are entered as the number of meals to be produced, the production start time is 18:00, and the number of workers to be assigned to all production lines (lines A to H) is 65. The control unit 4 stores the input information in the storage unit (production plan storage unit) 6 as a production plan for all production lines as shown in FIG.

The control unit 4 uses the production capacity stored in the storage unit (production capacity storage unit) 6 to produce the number of food items stored in the storage unit (production plan storage unit) 6. Calculate the planned production end time and expected production end time. That is, using the production planning capacity of 6000 (meals/H), the number of produced meals of 6000, and the production start time of 18:00 arranged in all production lines (A line to H line), the planned production end time is calculated. In this case, 19:00 is calculated as the planned production end time, and the control unit 4 stores 19:00 as the planned production end time in the storage unit 6 (production plan storage unit). Also, using the actual production (production capacity) of 6050 (meals/hour), the number of produced meals of 6000, and the production start time of 18:00, the expected production end time is calculated. In this case, 18:50 is calculated as the estimated production end time, and the control unit 4 stores 18:50 as the estimated production end time in the storage unit (production plan storage unit) 6 .

The storage unit (production plan storage unit) 6 also stores the number of leftover meals obtained by subtracting the number of produced meals from the number of produced meals. The number of meals that have been produced is the number of food order items labeled by the labeler 14 after being packaged.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a display mode of the display unit (display unit for expected production end time) 16. As shown in FIG. The display unit (estimated production end time display unit) 16 displays the production planning capacity 6000 (meal/hour) and the actual production (production capacity) 6050 ( food/H), planned production end time 19:00 stored in the storage unit (production plan storage unit) 6 shown in FIG. 65 staff members to be assigned are displayed. At least one display unit (estimated production end time display unit) 16 is arranged in the packaging area where all the production lines (A line to H line) are installed.

The control unit 4 recalculates and displays the expected production completion time when producing the number of meals (number of remaining meals) of the food order item whose production has not been completed at regular intervals (for example, every minute). A section (expected production end time display section) 16 displays the recalculated expected production end time. That is, the control unit 4 determines the time to produce the number of meals (the number of remaining meals) of the food order item whose production has not been completed based on the actual production (production capacity) 6050 (meal/hour) and the current time. is used to recalculate the expected production end time and display it on the display unit 16 .

It should be noted that the estimated production end time may be recalculated and displayed when information about changes in the number of personnel assigned to all production lines is obtained. That is, when information about change in the number of workers is input by the input unit 10, or when a sensor (not shown) detects a change in the number of workers assigned to all the production lines, the control unit 4 detects one change in the number of workers in all the production lines. Calculate the production number of food order items per hour, that is, recalculate the production capacity. Here, for the recalculation of the production capacity, a value obtained by dividing the actual production (production capacity) 6050 (meals/hour) by the number of workers of 65 is used as the production capacity for one worker. Then, the recalculated production capacity is stored in the storage section (production capacity storage section) 6 . In addition, the control unit 4 controls the production capacity stored in the storage unit (production capacity storage unit) 6 to determine whether the number of food order items whose production has not been completed (the number of remaining meals) is produced. The estimated time is recalculated, and the calculated estimated production end time is displayed on the display unit 16 .

In addition, the storage unit (line production capacity storage unit) 6 stores the actual production results when production is performed on each production line (lines A to H), that is, the production capacity of each production line. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, in line A, a plan is made to produce 800 (meals/hour) of food order items, and as a result of actual production, 870 (meals/hour) are produced. In addition, on line B, we planned to produce 800 (meal/hour) of food order items, and as a result of actual production, we were able to produce 680 (meal/hour). Past production results for each line are stored.

Since the configuration and processing of each production line are the same, only the A line will be explained. When the A-line is used to produce the food order item, the input unit 10 is first used to input the number of food items to be produced for the food order item. For example, 800 meals are input as the number of meals to be produced. The control unit 4 stores the input information in the storage unit (line production plan storage unit) 6 as a production plan for the A line as shown in FIG. As the production start time, the production start time of 18:00 for all production lines stored as the production plan for all production lines is stored. The storage unit (line production plan storage unit) 6 also stores the number of remaining meals produced by subtracting the number of produced meals from the number of produced meals. The number of meals that have been produced is the number of food order items labeled by the labeler 14 after being packaged.

The control unit 4 uses the production capacity of line A stored in the storage unit (line production capacity storage unit) 6 to produce the number of meals stored in the storage unit (line production plan storage unit) 6. Calculate the planned line production end time and the expected line production end time. That is, using the number of produced meals of 800 and the production start time of 18:00, the planned production end time is calculated. In this case, 19:00 is calculated as the planned line production end time, and the control section 4 stores 19:00 as the planned line production end time in the storage section (line production plan storage section) 6 . Also, using the actual production (production capacity) 870 (meals/hour), the number of produced meals 800, and the production start time of 18:00, the expected time of line production end is calculated. In this case, 18:20 is calculated as the estimated production end time, and the control unit 4 stores 18:20 as the estimated production end time in the storage unit (line production plan storage unit) 6 .

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a display mode of the display section (line production end expected time display section) 16. As shown in FIG. In the display section (line production expected end time display section) 16, line production planning capacity 800 (food/hour), actual production (production capacity) 870 (food/hour), planned line production end time 19:00, line production An estimated end time of 18:20 is displayed. One display unit (line production end expected time display unit) 16 is arranged for each production line.

When the control unit 4 produces the number of food order items (the number of leftover food products) for which production has not been completed among the food order items to be produced on line A at regular intervals (for example, every minute). is recalculated, and the recalculated expected production end time is displayed on the display unit (line production expected end time display unit) 16. That is, the control unit 4 determines the time and the current time when producing the number of meals (number of leftover meals) of the food order item whose production has not been completed according to the actual production (production capacity) 870 (meal/hour). is used to recalculate the estimated line production end time and display it on the display unit 16 .

It should be noted that when information about a change in the number of personnel assigned to the A line is obtained, the estimated line production end time may be recalculated and displayed. That is, when information about change in the number of personnel is input by the input unit, or when a sensor (not shown) detects a change in the number of personnel assigned to the A line, the control unit 4 changes the number of personnel per hour on the A line. Calculate the number of food items to be produced for the food order item, that is, recalculate the production capacity. Here, for the recalculation of the production capacity, a value obtained by dividing the production performance (production capacity) 870 (food/hour) of line A by the number of workers assigned to line A is used as the production capacity for one person. . Then, the recalculated production capacity is stored in the storage section (line production capacity storage section) 6 . In addition, the control unit 4 uses the line production capacity stored in the storage unit (line production capacity storage unit) 6 to produce the number of food order items that have not been finished (the number of remaining production). The estimated line production end time is recalculated, and the calculated estimated line production end time is displayed on the display unit 16 .

As for the production plan for all production lines, if the number of meals to be produced is 6,000, the production start time is 18:00, and the number of staff to be assigned to all production lines (A line to H line) is 58, the figure As shown in 7, the storage unit (production plan storage unit) 6 stores 6,000 servings as the number of meals to be produced, 58 staff members, and 18:00 as the production start time as production plans for all production lines. In this case, the control unit 4 uses the planned production capacity of 6000 (meals/hour) because there are 58 workers assigned to all production lines (Lines A to H), and the planned production end time is 19:00 is calculated, and 19:00 is stored in the storage section (production plan storage section) 6 as the planned production end time. 19:30 is calculated as the expected production end time using 5400 (food/hour) which is the actual production result (production capacity), and 19:30 is stored in the storage unit (production plan storage unit) 6 as the expected production end time. memorize

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a display mode of the display unit (expected production end time display unit) 16 when 58 workers are assigned to all production lines (lines A to H). The display unit (estimated production end time display unit) 16 displays the production planning capacity 6000 (meal/hour), the actual production (production capacity) 5400 (meal/hour), and the production plan storage unit shown in FIG. The planned production end time of 19:00, the expected production end time of 19:30, and the number of 58 workers assigned to all production lines (lines A to H) are displayed.

In this production progress automatic estimation system, the expected production end time of all production lines (A line to H line) and the expected production end time of each production line are displayed in real time on the display unit. It is possible to grasp not only the progress of production from A line to H line), but also the progress of each production line, and if production is behind schedule, additional personnel can be added at the right time. It is possible to accurately produce food order items within the planned time.

Next, with regard to the production of food order items, taking the production of item A as an example, the actual number and progress rate after the production of item A is started will be described. Each time the labeler 14 issues a label, the control unit 4 adds the actual number of items A stored in the storage unit 6 (see FIG. 4). Therefore, when item A is being packed and labeled, for example, the actual number stored in the storage unit 6 is incremented each time a label is issued. is added, the progress rate of production is calculated based on the number of orders received and the actual number stored in the storage unit 6 and stored in the storage area of the progress rate of the storage unit 6 .

While the food order item is being produced, the control unit 4 displays screens showing the progress of production on all the display units 16a, 16b, 16c, . . . displayed in real time. As shown in FIG. 13, the screen showing the progress of production displays the number of orders received, the actual number of products produced at the present time, and the progress rate based on the number of orders received and the actual number for each ordered item, as shown in FIG.

If there is a food order item stored in the storage unit 6 for which the current time has reached the target time, the control unit 4 reads the progress rate of the food order item from the storage unit 6 (Fig. 4). When the read progress rate is less than 100%, the control unit 4 displays a warning that the production has not been completed by, for example, displaying the column of the food order item displayed on the display unit 16 in yellow.

When there is a food order item stored in the storage unit 6 whose current time is the scheduled end time, the control unit 4 reads the progress rate of the food order item from the storage area of the storage unit 6. . When the read progress rate is less than 100%, the control unit 4 displays a warning that the production has not been completed by, for example, displaying the food order item column displayed on the display unit 16 in red.
