Description

  The present invention relates to a label sticking method and a label sticking apparatus for sticking a tag label to a transport container to which an RFID is stuck.

In recent years, an RFID (Radio Frequency ID) inlet having an IC chip capable of reading and writing data has been developed. The RFID inlet is provided with a transmission / reception antenna and an IC chip module having a memory connected to the transmission / reception antenna, and these are covered with a film made of a transparent material so that data can be read and written by a non-contact transmission method. It is like that.

The RFID inlet is attached to a transport container or the like and used with a dedicated reader / writer, and the IC chip module is written with code information that encodes information on the goods of the transport container and information such as the status and environment during the transport. In this way, it is used in physical distribution management or the like by being read out from it. However, RFID inlets are expensive to manufacture and are assumed to be collected and reused.

On the other hand, a tag label as a tag is attached to the surface of the RFID inlet attached to the transport container. These label labels are provided with information fields such as slip-specific information such as slip number, consignor information and consignee information, and the information printed in this information field is recognized by the transporter who transports the transport container. Information that is indispensable as possible information.
For this reason, when collecting the RFID inlet from the transport container, a separation work for collecting both the RFID inlet and the tag label and separating the RFID inlet and the tag label occurs. A cleaning operation is required to wash off the adhesive and the like attached to the surface.
Then, the cleaned RFID inlet is attached to the transport container again by hand attachment or an attachment device for attaching the RFID inlet.
However, although the above-described separation work and cleaning work are necessary work for reusing the RFID inlet, even if the RFID inlet can be reused, it is a cost burden and a work burden. There is a problem.
Although the RFID inlet can be fixed to the transport container, a cleaning operation for cleaning the adhesive attached to the RFID inlet occurs, and it is necessary to secure the transport container during the operation. There is a problem that a storage place is necessary.

Further, based on the signal for detecting the front end of the transport container P from the RFID detection gate 5 , the signal for detecting the reference mark 98 of the RFID 95, and the speed of the conveyor 8, the reference mark of the RFID 95 from the front end in the transport direction to the transport container P. An arithmetic circuit for calculating a distance up to 98 is provided (calculation means).

Next, the label sticking method of the label sticking apparatus will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
In step S <b> 1, it is determined whether the barcode is read by the scanner 47 provided on the scanner gate 7 when the transport container P is transported by the conveyor 8 (conveying process) and passes through the scanner gate 7. If it is determined that the barcode has been read, the barcode data is supplied to the host 6 and the process proceeds to step S2. If it is determined that the barcode has not been read, the process of step S1 is repeatedly executed.
Note that the content of the barcode is encoded with information such as a manufacturer name, product type, and product name as an example.
In step S2, the host 6 retrieves the write data to be written to the IC chip 96 of the RFID 95 and the print data to be printed on the label from the storage unit based on the received bar code data, and calls the write data. The printing data is transferred to the machine 4 to the label sticking machine.

In step S3, the RFID sticking machine 4 receives the write data from the host 6 and writes the write data to the RFID 95 based on this data. The RFID 95 to which the write data is written is transferred and peeled off from the strip-like mount 94. When the RFID detection sensor 41 detects the RFID 95, the transfer mechanism 40 stops driving and stands by.
On the other hand, the label sticking machine 3 receives print data from the host 6 and prints predetermined information on the tag label 92 based on this print data. The printed label label 92 is transferred and peeled off from the belt-like mount 91. When the label detection sensor 23 detects the printed label label 92, the transfer mechanism 22 stops driving and stands by.

When the article detection sensor 100 detects the transport container P, the RFID inlet 95 to which the transfer mechanism 40 is driven and the writing data is written is attached to the transport container P at a predetermined timing, and the process proceeds to step S4.

In step S4, when the transport container P to which the RFID 95 is attached passes through the RFID detection gate 5, when the tip of the transport container P is detected by the container detection sensor 48, this detection signal is transferred to the host, and step S5. Proceed to

In step S5, when the mark detection sensor 49 detects the reference mark 98 formed on the RFID 95 (RDID detection step), this detection signal is transferred to the host, and the process proceeds to step S6.
When it is determined that the mark detection sensor 49 has not detected the reference mark 98, the process of step S5 is repeatedly executed.

In step S <b> 6, the host 6 calculates a distance D from the front end of the transport container P to the reference mark based on the detection signal for detecting the front end of the transport container P, the detection signal for detecting the reference mark 98, and the speed of the conveyor 8. (Calculation process).
Based on this distance D and the pitch LP of the tag label 92, the label sticking position is calculated so that the RFID 95 covers almost the center of the tag label 92, and the calculation result of this sticking position is transferred to the label sticking machine 3. Proceed to S7.
In step S7, when the container detection sensor 101 detects the leading end of the transport container P, the label label 92 is attached to the transport container P so as to cover the RFID 95 by feeding the label label 92 based on the calculation result of the attachment position. Then, the process proceeds to step S8. (See FIG. 7) Note that the tag label 92 in FIG. 7 is indicated by a virtual line.
In step S8, if there is a process, the process returns to step S1, and if not, the process ends.
