First, for example, the manufacturer 4 who is the owner of the packaging material ships the product packed with the packaging material. Here, when shipping from the manufacturer 4 to the distribution center 1, the IC tag R / W 41 provided in the manufacturer 4 is attached to the packing material (upper boat, lower boat, paper tube material) that packs the product to be shipped. The tag information stored in the IC tag is read. This reading may be performed at the time of packing work or may be performed after the packing work is completed.
In the distribution center 1, a product packed with a packing material shipped from the manufacturer 4 is received and shipped to a new construction site. Here, when shipping from the distribution center 1 to the new construction site, the IC tag R / W 11 provided in the distribution center 1 is used as a packing material (upper boat, lower boat, paper tube material) for packing products to be shipped. The tag information stored in the attached IC tag is read.

Then, the distribution center 1 collects the packaging material after the product is taken out from the new construction site and sorts it. Here, the IC tag R / W 11 provided in the distribution center 1 reads the tag information stored in the IC tag attached to the packing material (upper boat, lower boat, paper tube material) collected from the new construction site. Then, the tag information read by the IC tag R / W 11, here, the manufacturer name and the updated usage count (the contents of the usage counter) are displayed on the terminal device 12. Here, the manufacturer name may be stored as tag information, or the manufacturer name is replaced with a code number and stored as tag information, and the correspondence between the manufacturer name and the code number stored in the storage device or the like is stored.

Note that a management number and a serial number are issued and written to the IC tag when the IC tag is issued. When the tag information of the IC tag is read when the packing material is collected or when the metal pallet is rented, the number of uses for the distribution center in this DB is counted up and updated. When counting up the number of times of use, when reading the tag information of the IC tag, the tag information of the same IC tag is read by a plurality of IC tag R / Ws, or the tag information of the same IC tag is continued. In order to prevent reading again, the latest work content and date / time information may be written in the IC tag or DB. In addition, by preventing writing of the same work contents within a predetermined time (for example, within 24 hours) from the date and time of the latest work, it is possible to prevent duplication of work histories and improve the accuracy of the number of uses. It is possible to plan. In addition, for the IC tag that is removed from the discarded packaging material and attached to the new packaging material, a new record is generated by updating the discard flag to ON.

FIG. 6 is an operation sequence diagram according to the embodiment of the present invention, and shows the relationship between the terminal device 12 (42) and the server 7.
First, the operation when history information is transmitted from the terminal device 12 will be described. An operator of the manufacturer 4 operates the tag R / W (41) to read wireless tag information attached to the conveying member. The terminal device 42 acquires the tag information read by the tag R / W (41) and the shipping destination information and the information on the arrival source input by the input device of the terminal device 42 as a work history (step). S61). The terminal device 22 uploads the acquired work history to the server 7 (step S62). The server 7 that has received the work history updates the history information and stores it in the corresponding table of the DB unit 70 (step S63). Here, a history table is created as necessary.

Next, an operation when referring to history information will be described. The terminal device 12 of the distribution center 1 accesses the server via the IP network 8 and transmits a history information reference request (step S64). Receiving this, the server 7 refers to the article table 51 of the DB unit 70, searches the history table 52, etc. by following the link, reads the requested history information, and outputs it to the terminal device 12 that requested the reference. (Step S65).
The terminal device 12 that has received the history information receives the history information received from the server 7 and displays it on the display device. Here, for example, the history information on the number of times the conveying member is used is displayed (step S66). Thereby, the worker can make a life determination by comparing the upper limit number of times of use and the like, or can grasp the lending destination of the conveying member.

Here, in the case of a packaging material, an unreturned list, a return list, and a use history list can be created from the history information described above. In the case of a metal pallet, an uncollected list, a lending list, a list by location, and a status list can be created.
In the unreturned list, “UID”, “serial number”, “part name”, and “maker name” are output. In the return list, “UID”, “serial number”, “return date / time”, “part name”, “width / depth”, and “maker name” are output. The usage history list includes “UID”, “serial number”, “manufacturing number”, “part name”, “width / depth”, “manufacturer name”, “last work date”, “number of times used”, “number of times of cleaning” "," Number of repairs "is output. In addition, the “collected date”, “pallet number”, and “contract number” data are displayed in the uncollected list, and the “manufacturer name” and “pallet number” data are displayed in the list by location. The “location” and “pallet number” data are output in the status list, and the “pallet number”, “work status”, and “usage count” data are listed and output.

7 to 13 show examples of the screen forms that are output as a list.
7 to 10 are diagrams illustrating examples of the non-return list, the return list, and the use history list in the packaging material. FIGS. 11 to 13 are diagrams showing examples of a pallet uncollected list, a pallet lending list, a pallet location list, and a pallet state list in a metal pallet.
In the unreturned list of FIG. 7, for example, by clicking the return button assigned to the upper right end of the screen at the return timing (symbol a) at the distribution center 1 in FIG. Transition to the return list shown in.

  As described above, according to the present invention, an IC tag is attached to a reusable packing material, when packing at a (member) maker, when collecting the packing, and at a housing center, receiving / shipping at the distribution centers 1 to 3 Sometimes it is possible to manage packing materials by reading IC tag information. In addition, when the packaging material is collected, the number of times of use, the shipping destination, the location of the arrival source, and the like are written, so that the number of times the packaging material is used and the destination management can be managed. In addition, the packing material information, the date of manufacture, the name of the manufacturer used, the place of return, information on sorting and collection at the time of recycling, etc. are stored in the IC tag and the tag is attached to the packing material. Can be confirmed at any time when needed.

On the other hand, by attaching an IC tag to a metal pallet and reading the tag information at the time of arrival from the manufacturer, collection of empty pallets at the distribution center, and lending to the manufacturer, it becomes possible to manage the loading and unloading of the metal pallets. Further, when the metal pallet is collected, the number of times of use and the location are written in the IC tag, so that the number of times the metal pallet is used can be managed and the destination can be managed.
Note that by attaching the IC tag to a position where it does not come into contact with the metal surface of the metal pallet, it is possible to avoid interference by electromagnetic induction and provide a good communication environment between the IC tag and the IC tag reader.

Next, a second embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, a method of managing the usage limit of the packaging material in consideration of whether the upper boat and the lower boat of the packaging material are used as the upper side or the lower side respectively will be described.
In this embodiment, the upper boat and the lower boat can be used for an upper side and a lower side, respectively, for an object to be normally packed. However, depending on circumstances, it is possible to use the upper boat for the lower side or the lower boat for the upper side. Here, the upper boat and the lower boat have different wear levels (fatigue levels) when used for the upper side of the packaging and when used for the lower side. That is, when used normally for the lower side, the degree of wear is higher than when used for the upper side because pressure due to the weight of the object to be packed is applied or the surface is rubbed. Therefore, when using the upper boat and the lower boat for the upper boat and the lower boat, the use limit is different. Therefore, in this embodiment, the use limit is managed in consideration of the case where it is used for the upper side or the lower side.

Next, the management apparatus in this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 15 is a schematic block diagram illustrating the configuration of the management device according to the second embodiment.
The input unit 100 inputs the read UID of the IC tag and packing position information indicating the upper side or the lower side. The packing position information may be input from a keyboard or the like by an operator. In addition, when a database for storing the UID of the IC tag and the packing position information is provided, the information may be input by referring to the database whenever the database is updated.

The packaging material use detection unit 101 detects that the packaging material has been used by inputting the UID of the IC tag and the packaging position information from the input unit 100.
When the packaging material use detection unit 101 detects that the packaging material is used, the packaging position determination unit 102 uses the upper side and the lower side based on the packaging position information input from the input unit 100. It is determined at which position of the use of the.

  The wear frequency table unit 103 stores the wear frequency according to the position (for the upper side and for the lower side) where the packing material is used. Here, the upper wear frequency, which is the wear frequency when the packaging material is used for the upper side, and the lower wear frequency, which is the wear frequency when the packing material is used for the lower side, are stored. These wear frequencies are obtained, for example, by past performance data or experiments, and are input from an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse.

The wear frequency calculation unit 104 refers to the wear frequency table unit 103, reads the wear frequency corresponding to the used position based on the determination result of the packing position determination unit 102, and calculates the wear frequency.
The storage unit 105 stores the calculation result of the wear frequency calculation unit 104.
The limit value storage unit 106 stores the wear frequency at the use limit of the packing material as a limit value. This wear frequency is input from an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse.
The comparison unit 107 compares the calculation result of the wear frequency calculation unit 104 with the limit value stored in the limit value storage unit 106.
Based on the comparison result of the comparison unit 107, the alarm unit 108 issues an alarm when the calculation result is equal to or greater than the limit value. This alarm is performed by displaying a message indicating the alarm on the screen of the display device, emitting sound through a speaker, or lighting a lamp.

  Next, the operation of the management apparatus in the configuration of FIG. 15 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. Here, the wear frequency table unit 103 stores the packing material with an upper wear frequency of 10 and the lower wear frequency of 20 and the limit value storage unit 106 stores 120 as the limit value. explain.

  First, the packaging material use detection unit 101 detects whether or not the packaging material is used based on whether or not the UID of the IC tag and the packaging position information are input from the input unit 100 (step S200). When the IC tag UID and the packing position information are input from the input unit 100, the packing material use detection unit 101 displays the IC tag UID and the packing position information together with the notification indicating that the packing material has been used. The data is output to the determination unit 102. Based on the packing position information, the packing position determination unit 102 determines whether the packing material is used for the upper side (step S201), and outputs the determination result and the IC tag UID to the wear frequency calculation unit 104. .

  When the determination result is the use for the upper side, the wear frequency calculation unit 104 reads the upper wear frequency “10” from the wear frequency table unit 103 and calculates the wear frequency. Here, the wear frequency calculation unit 104 refers to the calculation result stored in the storage unit 105, but since the calculation result is not yet stored here, only the wear frequency “10” to be added this time is the IC tag. Is stored in the storage unit 105 in association with the UID.

When the wear frequency calculation unit 104 stores the calculation result in the storage unit 105, the comparison unit 107 compares the stored calculation result with the limit value “120” stored in the limit value storage unit 106, and the limit value Is detected (step S204). If the limit value is not exceeded, the process proceeds to step S200.
Next, when the same packing material is used and the UID and the packing position information are input from the input unit 100, the packing material use detection unit 101 detects the use of the packing material and notifies the packing position determination unit 102. The packing position determination unit 102 refers to the notification from the packing material use detection unit 101 and determines the position where the packing material is used. Here, when the packing material is determined to be used for the lower side, the wear frequency calculation unit 104 reads the lower wear frequency “20” from the wear frequency table unit 103 and is output from the packing material use detection unit 101. The calculation result (for example, “10” here) corresponding to the UID is read from the storage unit 105, and “20” read from the wear frequency table is added to the value “10” of the read calculation result (step S203). Based on the above, the calculation result is stored in the storage unit 105 and updated.

  After the processing described above is repeated, if the calculation result exceeds the limit value “120” in the comparison result by the comparison unit 107 in step S204, the alarm unit 108 issues an alarm (step S205).

In the second embodiment, the case where the wear frequency is added has been described. However, the calculation may be performed according to the third embodiment described below. That is, the number of times used for the upper side and the number of times used for the lower side are stored in the storage unit 105 or the like separately. Then, multiply the upper wear coefficient and the lower wear coefficient by the number of times each memory is used, and add them up.
Here, assuming that the number of times used for the upper side is A, the number of times used for the lower side is B, the upper wear frequency is MA, and the lower wear frequency is MB, the wear frequency calculation unit 104 shows Calculate the total wear frequency according to (1).
Total wear frequency = A × MA + B × MB (1)
Then, the comparison unit 107 issues an alarm when the total wear frequency exceeds the limit value.

  In the second and third embodiments described above, the wear frequency is not simply calculated using the upper wear frequency and the lower wear frequency, but the pressure applied to the weight or unit area of the packaging object. Alternatively, it may be calculated taking into account the transport distance. For example, when a heavy packing object is used for the lower side, the lower wear frequency may be calculated as “25”.

  In the above-described embodiment, a barcode corresponding to information (for example, UID) stored in the IC tag is printed on a print medium, and the IC tag is attached to the print medium and attached to the conveyance member. May be. As a result, even if the IC tag breaks down and communication is impossible, the above management can be performed by reading the printed barcode.

It is a figure which shows an example of the system configuration | structure which concerns on this invention embodiment.
