This information can automatically generate documents such as Manifest, mate receipt, etc., which are essential in international trade logistics, and can be uploaded through a central processing server.

Hereinafter, a logistics management method using the sensor technology in the present invention will be described.

1, a) a cargo taking step, b) a cargo location information dispatching step, c) a cargo dispatching step, d) a shipping position information dispatching step, and a cargo dispatching step, and e) a final departure information notification step for the cargo.

a) Cargo step

As shown in Fig. 1, the process of receiving each individual cargo (f) into the shipment site by country (A, B, C, D) through the transport truck (T) The cargo (f) is loaded as the transport truck (T) carrying the cargo (f) arrives at the loading site. At this time, when the terminal installed in the transport truck T is detected by the sensor installed at the loading site at the arrival time of the transport truck T, the arrival time of the transporting truck T can be known.

Here, the sensor may be a beacon sensor capable of accurately grasping the arrival time of the cargo (f). Of course, the terminal installed in the transport truck T may also be a beacon. Accordingly, the arrival time information of the cargo can be transmitted to the central server process 100 in accordance with the arrival of the shipping truck T. Note that the cargo (f) specified below is specified as cargo without code designation.

b) Delivery of cargo location information

Depending on the arrival of the shipment truck of the transport truck T, the cargoes are transported to the respective shipment through the sensors (S) installed in the shipment field in the process of being loaded on the shipment sites (A, B, C, D) The article code is sensed.

Since the electronic goods code is attached to each individual cargo as tag information for distinguishing the cargo by the flight, the sea side, and the export and the import, the cargo is loaded on the transport truck T, , C, D) When loaded in the loading area, the cargo information is sensed through the sensor (S) installed in each part of the loading area (A, B, C, D).

The cargo information includes not only the tag and the location but also the object identification configuration of the cargo as well as the customs, the shippers, and the manufacturer, the carrier, the goods item, the goods serial number, May be omitted or added to obtain all object discrimination.

Here, b) the receipt position information sending step of the cargo includes the first dispatching position information of the cargo b ') and the second dispatching position information of the cargo position information of the cargo b).

The first shipping step of the goods receipt position information of the b ') cargo is the process of sending the cargo information sensed by the sensor S installed in the shipment field to the central processing server 100 as in S2.

Here, it is preferable that the sensor S installed in the shipment field uses a beacon sensor, because it is possible to accurately grasp a cargo receiving position in the individual stations A, B, C, and D.

In the second dispatching step of the b < "> cargo, the central processing server 100 stores the cargo information through the central processing server 100, and the central processing server 100 transmits the cargo information to customs, And cargo information can be shared as they are transmitted to the respective operation servers (10, 20, 30, 40) operated by the transportation company.

c) Cargo Delivery Phase

After a predetermined waiting time has elapsed from the country (A, B, CD), the individual cargoes are loaded on a cargo ship or aircraft on the transport truck T while being shipped from the loading site as in S3, At this time, the sensors S installed in the shipment field can also check the shipment time of the shipment from the shipment field as in S3 ', and send it to the central processing server 100.

d) Delivery of shipment location information

The cargoes leaving the loading area are loaded on a cargo ship or aircraft, as in S4, while cargo ships or aircraft are loaded on the transfer truck (T).

At this time, the shipment position information transmission step of the d) cargo may include a third shipment position information of the cargo d ') and a fourth shipment position of the cargo shipment information of the cargo d).

The third shipment position information of the d ') cargo is sent to the central processing server 100 by sensing the shipment position of the cargoes through the sensors S installed in the cargo ship or the shipment area of the aircraft.

Here, the sensors S preferably use a beacon sensor because it is possible to accurately grasp the cargo loading position on a cargo ship or an aircraft.

The fourth shipment position information of the d "cargo is transmitted to each of the operation servers (10, 20, 30, 40) operated in customs, shippers, .

e) Cargo's final departure information notification step

Then, when the cargo ship or the aircraft departs, the cargo ship or the departure information of the aircraft from the sensor installed on the aircraft is sent to the central processing server 100 as in S5, and the central processing server 100 20, 30, and 40 operated by the customs, the shippers, the manufacturer, and the transportation company through the processing unit for correcting the time information from the start to the start of the cargo.

Meanwhile, the Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) registers the cargo information provided to each base (customs, shippers, manufacturers, and transporters) in the database. The registration key value registered from the enterprise- An invoice number, a customs clearance number, a transportation / vehicle number, an export declaration number, an S / R (Shipping Request), a container number, an e-seal (Container Electronic Seal)

The tag is issued to the goods to be shipped, the representative key (order number) and the tag are mapped before shipment, registered in the entity relationship diagram in the form of a transaction event, and then the key mapping information is transmitted to the tracking server. Then, the generated key is mapped to the representative key and transmitted to the tracking server.

The keys registered in the tracking server are B / L, S / R, Manifest Reference No (MRN), MBL (Master B / L No), Tracking / Vehicle Number, Automated Manifest System (AMS) House B / L Sequence No), container number, and D / O (Delivery Order). The database stores information related to the tracking server, including cargo information.

Meanwhile, the logistics management system of the present invention includes a sensor S installed in various places of a shipment of an individual country, a sensor S installed in a cargo ship or an aircraft, a central processing server 100 receiving and storing cargo information from the sensors, (Customs, shippers, manufacturers, and transporters) operated by the customs, shippers, manufacturers, and shipping companies, and an object Relationship diagrams.

Here, it is preferable that a beacon sensor is used for the sensors installed in various parts of the ship, the cargo ship, and the aircraft, and the beacon sensor can accurately grasp the movement flow of the cargo and the loaded position information even at a low voltage.

The beacon may be composed of a battery, an input and an output, a chipset, a Bluetooth antenna, and an MCU. Particularly, the MCU is a part corresponding to a kind of small-sized CPU and can communicate with other electronic devices in a mutual communication manner Do. If the MCU was not configured, the beacon would only have been able to detect other electronic devices in one direction.

The beacon may be a sensor device having a built-in Bluetooth antenna and capable of accurately grasping the position of the cargo.
