Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the waste disposal among a waste producer, a waste collecting and carrying person, and an intermediate waste disposal person by collecting the information relating to the flow of waste disposal using a communication satellite. SOLUTION: A waste discharge plant establishes codes by waste production sources to be controlled and distributes bar codes to each of the waste production sources. A waste collecting and carrying person, when collecting waste, reads the bar code of each waste container with a bar code reader and measures the weight of each container and inputs these data in the terminal of a communication satellite. An intermediate disposal person, when receiving the waste collected and carried, reads the bar code of each waste by solid waste with a bar code reader, and when executing intermediate disposal of the waste stored, reads the bar code again, and transmits the information to a system. A control center receives the data input, when the waste collecting and carrying person collects the waste, from the communication satellite and takes the data input by the intermediate disposal person when carrying and disposing. An executive agency receives the information at the time when the waste collecting and carrying person collects the waste from a communication satellite, and takes the information of the waste which has been received and disposed by the intermediately disposing person, and if any inconformity is found in the waste when checked, the control center directs the related persons to confirm it. The executive agency controls the information from the system of the control center by connecting the executive agency and the control system on the ground through the on-line information processing system.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a waste management information system using a communication satellite for tracking and recording the process from collection to transportation and processing of special management waste, and more particularly to a special management waste. The present invention relates to a collection and disposal information system (SCMS system) in which a bar code is attached to a container or a transport vehicle loaded with a container and a collection and disposal process of waste is individually managed for each container or transport vehicle.

In the present invention, an SCMS system (SCM
S stands for Satellite Communication Management System)
Means the flow of waste treatment, as shown schematically in FIG.
By collecting information using satellite communication, it is possible to manage waste disposal among waste generators, collection carriers and intermediate treatment companies, and to quickly create and provide necessary information from collected information. Refers to the target system.

[0003] In the present invention, the term specially controlled waste means not only general waste or industrial waste which may cause damage to human health and living environment such as explosiveness, toxicity and infectivity, but also a large amount of waste. However, dumping is used to include general and industrial wastes, which have a great impact on environmental pollution. Hereinafter, the description of the present invention will be made by taking as an example infectious waste discharged mainly from medical institutions as specially controlled waste, but the present invention can be applied to all other specially controlled wastes in the same manner. It goes without saying that you can do it.

[0004]

2. Description of the Related Art Waste from hospitals that may spread pathogens, such as used injection needles and gauze with blood,
It is required by law to treat it separately from general waste. However, I hate that it takes time and effort,
There are many cases where it is mixed with general waste or dumped as it is. In addition, a large amount of waste material generated at a construction site is generated at a time, and it is difficult to secure a disposal site therefor, thus causing a problem of illegal dumping.

[0005] Currently, the flow of infectious waste disposal is carried out in many ways by collection and transportation companies to bring them to an intermediate treatment company, and is divided into two companies: a collection and transportation company and a company that performs the intermediate treatment in one operation. . Both are executed in the form of contracts (three-way and two-way), but the details vary. The Waste Management Law was newly enforced on July 1, 1993, and loading slips (hereinafter sometimes referred to as manifest slips) have been legally used. There are many situations where it is difficult to get out of the position of the delivery note.

[0006] Also, there is a situation where the awareness of the handling of infectious waste has not been removed from the area of industrial waste or general waste at the discharge establishment. It does not fall within the perception that infectious waste discharged from business establishments is worth several yen per month. The payment amount of the processing cost is large,
They are low, expensive, and cheap. In such dimensions, proper treatment of infectious waste is not possible. Then, how should we collect the data of infectious waste that has evolved from conventional garbage processing even if we try to manage it rapidly based on data such as the actual weight of each source? The question is who has such data, where, and how. Although some data can be obtained with the introduction of the manifest slip this time, it is very difficult to determine the source and infectious waste in terms of the source and infectious waste, because it is only the emission site.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an infectious waste treatment information system capable of managing the infectious waste at each emission source at a substantial weight. . By using this system,
Providing data that can be used for separating and controlling infectious waste and controlling the amount of emissions, as well as data for administrative reporting of discharge establishments, and providing data for administrative reporting. (Containers or vehicles) Real-time location information on a map (whether it is currently being transported, whether it has been transported to a processing plant,
Position information on the end of the process and the transport route). This aims to solve problems such as illegal dumping.

[0008] Specially controlled waste can have a bad effect on human bodies and the environment, and all must be properly and properly disposed of. Conventionally, specially managed waste, including medical waste, has been placed on a specially managed special treatment route that is distinguished from other general waste, and the number of enclosed containers delivered during collection and transport is checked. Waste management is carried out by checking the amount of waste generated at a time, such as waste generated at a construction site, in units of vehicles.

[0009] The number of sealed containers is checked for each collection location at the time of unloading from the collection location and at the time of loading into the waste disposal facility, for example, by using a dedicated slip described for each hospital which is the place of occurrence and collection. However, since the number control of each group by a slip cannot be understood until the flow of the individual sealed containers, for example, containers containing specially controlled waste that should be disposed Even if it is replaced with another container containing general wastes, it may be difficult to find it at the time of verification. Special management to reduce improper processing such as loss or illegal dumping of enclosed containers due to errors during transport as described above, and to enable accurate detection and prompt action when errors occur. It is an issue to carry out reliable individual management for waste containers or loading vehicles.

Under these circumstances, the present invention provides an information system for tracking and recording the process from collection to transportation and processing of specially controlled waste, and in particular, to a container or a truck loaded with specially controlled waste. A bar code is attached, and a mark indicating that the waste is specially controlled is preferably displayed near the bar code to make it clear that the waste is specially controlled. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a collection and disposal processing information system that manages the collection and disposal individually for each container or carrier.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention makes it possible to manage waste processing between a discharge company, a collection and transportation company, and an intermediate processing company by collecting information on a waste processing flow using satellite communication. This is a waste disposal information system that promptly creates and provides necessary information from the collected information, and fills in the necessary information based on the barcode label and related information including the barcode input to the communication satellite terminal. A waste disposal information system using a communication satellite, characterized in that the waste disposal information slips are used in combination. Briefly, the present invention combines a bar code label and a packing slip filled in based on relevant information including the bar code input to the terminal of the communication satellite, and specially uses a communication satellite. It is a managed waste treatment information system.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a method in which a barcode label displaying data on a collection place and a place of occurrence is individually provided to a plurality of containers or vehicles containing specially managed waste at the collection place. Before collecting and transporting these containers or trucks from the collection location, the data of the barcode labels attached to the individual containers or trucks are collected by the barcode reader at the collection location for each container or The information is read for each carrier, the weight of each container or each carrier is weighed, and the information is input to the terminal of the communication satellite.

[0013] Based on the information of the bar code input to the terminal of the communication satellite, a cargo slip (manifest slip) in which necessary information is entered is received, and travel information from departure to entry is automatically recorded through the communication satellite. . Operate Omnitrax's operation management system, such as recording location information, travel routes, and automatically creating daily driving reports.

After transporting a plurality of containers or transport vehicles from the collection location to the intermediate processing location, the intermediate processor re-reads the bar code label attached to each container or transport vehicle at that location and reads the date and time of processing. Send it to the manifest management system along with the information. Temporarily store until intermediate processing in the factory. The barcode is read again when the special waste including the stored infectious waste is subjected to the intermediate treatment, and information on the processing date and time is transmitted to the manifest management system.

Collection and collection of individual containers or trucks
The data at the time of collection by the carrier and the data imported from the intermediate processor and the intermediate processed data are received from the communication satellite,
Check the data of collection, delivery and processing, and if there is any nonconformity, print out and instruct the related companies to confirm them.

The bar code label is a label to be attached to a specially managed waste container or a transportation vehicle on which a bar code indicating data on the collection location and the generation location is displayed in advance. Data on the weight of each weighed container or truck together with the barcode information can be input. As the barcode label, a label indicating a specially controlled waste is displayed beside the barcode. The mark indicating that the waste is specially managed is a mark indicating that the waste is infectious waste, and is preferably a biohazard mark. The transport container that stores the infectious waste is to indicate that it is infectious waste and that it should be handled with care. The biohazard mark is recommended as a nationally common mark.

In order to utilize a special management waste treatment information system using a communication satellite, for example, when a hospital disposes of medical waste, a bar code sticker that records the hospital name and affiliation is attached to a collection container. I will have it. The collection vehicle is equipped with a barcode reading device, and records data every time the collection container is loaded. During transportation, the location of the collection vehicle is checked by satellite communication every 30 minutes, and the barcode of the collection container is recorded again when the vehicle is brought into the intermediate treatment plant and when disinfection or incineration is completed.

All data is recorded on a large computer via a communication satellite and reported to hospitals and collection / processing companies. If the collection container is lost on the way or if there is any suspicious movement of the collection vehicle, it can be immediately recognized, preventing illegal dumping. In addition, operation management is easy and collection can be performed efficiently. It is stipulated that medical waste that has a risk of causing virus infection, etc. should be disinfected or incinerated separately from general waste to eliminate infectivity before final disposal. A management slip called a manifest is attached to the waste, and the hospital and the contractor check it to confirm proper disposal.

In practice, it is considered that there is an example in which medical waste is mixed with general waste and disposed of, and a false management slip is used to make the adjustment. Reliable hospitals can be obtained by ensuring proper processing.

A special management waste treatment information system using a communication satellite is established by a discharge establishment, a collection / transportation company, an intermediate treatment company and a management center (see a satellite system introduction company, the SCMS management center in the embodiment) and, if necessary, by the government. , And what role it plays. 1. Emission site Emission sources in the emission site using a combination of a bar code label and a packing slip where necessary information is entered based on related information including the bar code input to the terminal of the communication satellite. By controlling the amount of discharge for each source, it is possible to more reliably separate infectious waste at the source, and to perform numerical control for each department and content by real weight. By performing department-specific management, ordinary garbage and the like that are currently mixed in infectious waste are separated, which contributes to the suppression of infectious waste. The ability to perform numerical management for each department can be used to create a budget for each generating department in the hospital, and it is also possible to reliably compare the sales by department of the discharge office and the cost of treating infectious waste, etc. . After the discharge establishment delivers the infectious waste to the collection and transport company, the location of the infectious waste delivered in real time, where it is being transported, when it was delivered to the processing plant, and when Since the status of infectious waste entrusted to the treatment can be grasped by being able to grasp the place where the waste has been collected or where it is staying, the management responsibility as a discharge business can be fully fulfilled.

[0021] Data necessary for an administrative report is extracted from information that can be extracted from this series of systems, and is transcribed and used for preparing an annual administrative report. The processing cost can be managed within the current processing commission. The back data of the above information is stored for 5 years, and by specifying the date and vehicle code, the time and place where the collection / transportation vehicle stopped, where it passed, and passed into the processing plant can be tracked and timed on a map. A system that can clearly indicate the illegal disposal and improper disposal, including illegal dumping, can be prevented as the responsibility of the emission business establishment.

2. Collection / transporter Can manage infectious waste as well as discharge establishments. Also,
If there is a case where a harmful substance or harmful substance is mistakenly mixed into the infectious waste at the source, it will be controlled for each individual.
Sources are identified, explosion accidents and gas generation accidents can be prevented, and illegal discharges from discharge sites (for example, cases where mercury reagents are mixed in infectious waste. Currently discharge sites Is not specified). In addition, since the track information can be automatically recorded periodically from the transport vehicle via a communication satellite, operation management can be performed, and an operation daily report is automatically created from the system, so that there is an advantage that staff management and labor saving can be performed. By being able to communicate with the collection and transportation staff at any time via satellite, the situation at the site can be grasped and the management department can be saved, and collection and transportation efficiency can be improved.

3. Intermediate treatment company Infectious waste can be managed in the same way as the discharge office and collection / transportation company. At present, bilateral contracts have been made between the discharge establishments, collection / transportation companies, and intermediate treatment companies. However, the collection / transportation companies are operating and finding discharge establishments (new customers). , A contract is brought to a partner intermediate processing company and a two-party contract is conducted under the initiative of a collection and transportation company,
If the collection and transportation company brings the entire amount collected and transported to the intermediate treatment company, there will be no problems, but in order to reduce the intermediate treatment costs, the collected and transported infectious waste is refilled in-house (for example, A method of compressing individual pieces and refilling them, a method of mixing them into general waste and bringing them as industrial waste in accordance with public incineration facilities) can solve the problem of illegal treatment.

4. Administration As an administration, it will be possible to adopt an accurate and real-time grasp of the trends of infectious waste at the discharge establishment, collection / transportation company, and intermediate treatment company. Since this system can be docked with the ground management system currently under research and development at public institutions, it is easy to check reports to the administration of each emission site, and illegal dumping, illegal Management and monitoring of processing prevention, etc., labor saving and accurate management of three-party checks can be performed. Furthermore, regarding the submission of the annual administrative report required for each business establishment (discharge establishment, collection / transportation company, intermediate treatment company), the report data sent from each business establishment currently being matched is compared. At present, it cannot be checked unless there is a serious problem. It is impossible to achieve the original purpose of administrative reporting. Also, considering the space for storing the administrative report sent by file for five years and the cost of searching, the merit of saving the administrative report as data is enormous. This can save labor as the government with more permits and the government with more emission facilities.

[0025]

(3) Others The following processing is performed only for the total weight when the packing code is entered as [01]. Gross weight = Total weight-(2Kg x total number) Reason: The weight of the container (container) is 2Kg. When [2: Batch weight input] is selected on the "weight input selection screen" (Fig. 12), the total weight is displayed. Is divided by the total number, weight data is allocated to each hazard mark number, and stored with one digit after the decimal point. If the average weight is not divisible within one decimal place, the following processing is performed, and the weight after calculation processing is stored for each hazard mark number. The average weight is defined as n (= N / M) when the total weight: N (number represented by one or more decimal places) and the total number: M (integer). However, n is rounded down to the second decimal place. Therefore, it is expressed as: a = N−n × M (a: a remainder expressed by one or more decimal places). Here, a is represented by b, c (b: integer part, c:
(1st decimal place), the total weight N is as follows. (N ₁ , n ₂ , n _b ... N _M : weight stored for each hazard mark) Therefore, the weight data for each hazard mark number is n
_{1 to} n _M are stored.

An example using specific numerical values will be described. Example. Total weight: 100 kg, when the total number is 51, 100/51 = 1.96. . . Therefore, first, a value 1.9 obtained by rounding down to two decimal places is stored as the weight (n = 1.9) in all the numbers. In addition, since 100− (1.9 × 51) = 3.1, the weight 2.9 obtained by adding 1 to the weight n becomes the weight of each of the first to third pieces. The value 2 obtained by adding 0.1 is the weight. In summary, the weight of the first to third of the 51 pieces is 2.9 kg, and the weight of the fourth is 2
Kg, and all remaining weights are each 1.9 Kg and stored.
