Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention belongs to a warranty enclosing method for packaging a product and a warranty into one package.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, when packing products such as mechanical products and electrical products, the product warranty is prepared separately from the product, and the packing operator visually reads the serial number written on the product nameplate, etc. They are collated and put into one package.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the prior art has the following problems.
[0004]
It is difficult to print a barcode set for each product number on a warranty issued in advance for each product number in the manufacturing process and the flow of packaging work. There is a problem that a packaging error occurs when the product number described in the above is read and written in the product number of the warranty card.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and the object of the present invention is to attach a bar code label on which the contents of the nameplate are printed on the nameplate of the product, The object of the present invention is to provide a method for bundling a warranty card which can pack the printed warranty card and the product without error by reading the contents of the code label and printing it on the warranty card.
[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0008]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a system that executes a warranty enclosing method according to the present embodiment.
[0009]
As shown in FIG. 1, the system for executing the warranty enclosing method according to the present embodiment converts a bar code reader (reading means) 20 for reading a bar code into character data. The data processing means 30 and a printer (output means) 40 that prints out the converted character data are schematically configured, and the nameplate 15 of the product 10 is pre-coded with the barcode of the contents of the nameplate 15 in the manufacturing process. Have The warranty label HL in the figure is output as a barcode from the printer 40.
[0010]
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the nameplate 15 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, in the manufacturing process of the product 10, when the product specific item SK such as the date of manufacture, the model number, the serial number, and the specification is written on the nameplate 15, the product specific item SK The barcode label 18 that has been encoded and printed can be attached.
[0011]
The barcode of the barcode label 18 and the barcode reader 20 will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0012]
During the packing operation, the barcode reader 20 reads the barcode of the barcode label 18 attached in advance to the nameplate 15 by the operation of the packing operator, and sends the barcode data to the data processing means 30.
[0013]
The data processing means 30 converts the barcode data into character data and sends it to the printer 40 together with the barcode.
[0014]
The printer 40 prints out the barcode sent from the data processing means 30 to the guarantee label HL.
[0015]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of use of the guarantee label HL of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, when the barcode is printed out on the guarantee label HL from the printer 40, the character data of the product specifying item SK sent from the data processing means 30 is printed out directly on the guarantee HS at the same time.
[0016]
The packing operator attaches the warranty label HL to the output warranty HS and packs it together with the product 10.
[0017]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation flow of FIG.
[0018]
With reference to FIG. 4, the flow of the warranty enclosing method according to the present embodiment will be described.
[0019]
In the manufacturing process of the product, when creating the nameplate 15 on which the product specific item SK such as the date of manufacture, model number, serial number and specifications is described, the data of the product specific item SK is printed on the barcode label 18. 2 and affixed to the nameplate 15 as shown in FIG. 2 (not shown).
[0020]
The packing operator accepts the product 10 (step S1).
[0021]
It is determined whether or not the barcode label 18 is stuck on the nameplate 15 of the product 10 (step S2).
[0022]
When the barcode label 18 is pasted (Yes in the figure), the barcode label 18 is read by the barcode reader 20 (step S3).
[0023]
The data processing means 30 converts the data of the bar code label 18 sent from the bar code reader 20 into character data, prints out the product specific item SK on the warranty card HS from the printer 40, and at the same time the bar code label 18 The data is printed out as a barcode on the warranty label HL (step S4).
[0024]
The packing operator affixes the warranty card label HL to the warranty card HS, packs the product and the warranty card HS (step S5), and ends the packing operation of the product 10.
[0025]
In step S <b> 2, when the barcode label 18 is not attached to the nameplate 15 (No in the drawing), the packaging operator refers to the nameplate 15 of the product 10 and is prepared in advance with the product 10. The warranty card HS is packed (step S6), and the packing operation is finished.
[0026]
Since the warranty card bundling method according to the embodiment is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
[0027]
The product specific item SK for each product 10 is printed on the barcode label 18 and pasted on the nameplate 15 of each product 10 in advance, so that the packing operator can use the barcode reader to read the barcode on the nameplate 15. By reading, printing the content of the barcode on the warranty card HS, and printing the barcode on the warranty card label HL and pasting it on the warranty card HS, the product 10 and the warranty card HS can be packed without mismatch.
[0028]
When selling this product at a store, the warranty label HL on which the barcode is printed is read by a barcode reader, and the data on the warranty label HL is transmitted to a distributor or manufacturer of the product 10 via a network such as the Internet. Thus, the distributor or manufacturer can grasp the sales situation of the product 10 at the store in real time.
[0029]
Note that in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be applied to a warranty card bundling method suitable for applying the present invention.
[0030]
In addition, the number, position, shape, and the like of the constituent members are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be set to a suitable number, position, shape, and the like in practicing the present invention.
[0031]
In each figure, the same numerals are given to the same component.
[0032]
【The invention's effect】
Since this invention is comprised as mentioned above, there exists an effect hung up below.
[0033]
Items printed on the warranty card, such as the serial number for each product, are printed on a bar code label and pasted on the name plate of each product in advance. By reading and outputting this bar code on a warranty card or a bar code label attached to the warranty card, the product and the warranty card are packed without mismatch.
[0034]
When selling products at the store, the warranty label is read with a barcode reader, and the data is sent to the product supplier via the Internet. The sales situation of the product can be grasped in real time.
