Therefore, barcode, part information, and manpower management information generated in the barcode history management system 100 are transferred to the data repository 200 for storage or backup. As described later, the data store 200 receives malfunction information of parts transmitted in real time to the smart server 300 from the smart server 300 and transmits the malfunction information to the barcode history management system 100, It is possible to notify the person in charge of the parts related to the failure information of the parts of the train which is currently in operation in real time. The data store 200 may be embodied as a computer server or a cloud server. If the data store 200 is implemented as a cloud server, the data store 200 may be integrated with a smart server 300 as described below.

The smart reader 400 according to the present invention receives data from a part information storage unit attached to a part of a railway car and recognizes a failed part when a component failure occurs in the railway car. At this time, when the parts of the railway vehicle are broken, the parts may be broken from the occurrence of the parts failure during the train operation, and may be after a certain time. That is, it may be a time when the A / S staff checks a faulty part in a base where a crew member can check for a faulty part or a temporary repair of the railway car due to a component failure of the railway car.

The above-described parts information storage unit may be any one of a barcode, a QR code, an NFC tag, and an RFID tag that digitally stores the history information of the part, or may be a storage medium using NFC or Bluetooth. The history information of the part may be the serial number of the part or the past repair history of the part, the date of shipment of the part, the information of the parts supplier, the person in charge of the parts management (department in charge), and the like. The barcode is generated by a barcode printer connected to the above-described barcode history management system 100 and RS232C. The manager attaches the generated barcode, QR code, NFC tag, and RFID tag to the smart reader 400 according to a request of the smart reader 400, which will be described later, Allow the part to be recognized.

On the other hand, the history information of the parts is stored in the storage medium using the NFC or the Bluetooth system, and information about the parts is transmitted at the request of the smart reader 400 so that the smart reader 400 recognizes the corresponding parts.

<How to manage parts history of railway vehicles>

As shown in FIG. 2, in the method of managing the parts history of a railway vehicle according to the present invention, a barcode is generated by a barcode history management system 100 when parts are received from a part maker, a barcode is attached to each part, Tag or an NFC tag is attached (S10).

When a component failure occurs during the operation of the railway vehicle, the crew member or the local repair staff receives the data from the barcode or tag attached to the component using the smartphone and recognizes the component (S20). At this time, the input data may be the serial number of the relevant part, the past failure history information, and the current state information of the corresponding part. The current state information of the relevant part may be information that self-diagnoses itself when the relevant part is broken and collects the problem of the part of the part itself.

After the malfunctioning part is recognized by the smartphone, the crew member or the local repairing staff generates malfunction information of the malfunctioning part by using the application of the smartphone (S30). The generated fault information can be the fault occurrence time of the part, the fault railway car number, the fault of the part, the fault history of the fault of the part, or the state information of the fault of the part.

The crew or local repair personnel can directly input the fault status of the parts, the time of the parts failure, the fault railway car number, the parts failure phenomenon directly using the application installed on the smart phone, or take a picture or video of the faulty part.

The generated failure information is transmitted to the smart server 300 through the smart phone in real time (S40). The smart server 300 again transmits the failure information to the parts manufacturer system 500 in real time (S50). The parts manufacturer confirms the fault information of the parts on the running train in advance (S60) long before the actual fault parts arrive.

When the part is received by the part manufacturer, the part is recognized from the RFID tag, the NFC tag, or the barcode attached to the failed part, and the failed part is repaired in step S70 by the failure information of the previously identified failed part. When the repair of the part is finished, information about repair history of the failed part is generated. If the part is no longer usable, discard the part and generate disposal information indicating when and who discarded it.

The history management method for the railway vehicle parts described above is characterized in that the fault information of the faulty part is received before the actual arrival of the faulty part so that the faulty part can be quickly repaired It is possible to drastically shorten the repair time of the failed component.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment thereof, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and applications are possible. In other words, those skilled in the art can easily understand that many variations are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention.
