Description

Logistics tracking system using virtual terminal

The present invention relates to a logistics tracking system applied to port control, and in the Prime Optimizer of the logistics monitoring server, TOS Plus (Terminal Operating System Plus), ET Plus (External Truck Plus), RFID Plus (Radio Frequency IDentification Plus), ITV Plus (Inner Truck Vehicle Plus), compare the information delivered from Crane Plus with the data stored in DB through DB Plus to verify the reliability, and locate the facility in a virtual terminal via VT Plus (Virtual Terminal Plus) It displays the virtual 3D image including information position info, device status info, job info, instance massage, and the movement status of logistics loaded on the port yard. The present invention relates to a logistics tracking system using a virtual terminal implemented to easily recognize location information with a monitor.

In general, the logistics of the port go through a customs clearance system consisting of a bar code system or a camera recognition system that manages container vehicles entering and leaving the gate.

The barcode system stops the driver's barcode card (driver's pass) at the gate entrance to contact the barcode reader, inputs the vehicle information engraved on the barcode, and wires it to the main computer of the container terminal control center. The center provides the stop position information by printing. However, this method not only requires the driver to carry the barcode card at all times, but also causes a problem in that the reaction of the system is not immediate, which causes management inconveniences such as the driver being excessively handled and damaged.

Recently, the latter, that is, the camera recognition system has been used to solve such inconveniences. The camera recognition system is a system for inputting a vehicle number and a container number through a camera installed around a gate.

The documentation is provided to the driver as a system. However, this system has the disadvantage that the recognition rate is very different according to the cleanliness and the attachment position of the license plate of the vehicle and container, and it is pointed out that the problem of being directly managed by human is still low because the recognition rate is about 80%.

On the other hand, the container terminal used for port logistics not only serves as a logistics base for cargo accumulation and quantification, but also manages port logistics related information to grasp the congestion and inventory situation.

In other words, the container terminal is responsible for improving the productivity of the maritime and land transportation means, the base for the container to move around the world by using various means of transportation, the starting point for identifying and managing the movement of the container.

For the container unloading of these container terminals, an operation control system is implemented to plan the work execution of the container unloading equipment and the conveying equipment and to give work instructions to the individual unloading equipment.

The operation control system is composed of a centralized operation control system structure that manages all of the crane operation manager, vessel manager, transport vehicle operation manager, storage space manager, rear panel manager, storage crane operation manager by the central server.

Therefore, the process manager generates a work process from the unloading / loading / importing / exporting work information received from the ship manager and the rear manager and distributes the work process to the equipment work management subsystem and updates it whenever a change in the work process information occurs.

Process managers also mediate the exchange of information between different subsystems and synchronize the operation of these devices by managing the reservation and occupancy of Transfer Points (TPs) for the exchange of containers between quayside cranes, transport vehicles and yard cranes.

However, the container terminal operation control system used for such port logistics is managed by the operation control system when the processing demand increases due to the increase in the amount of container processing and the increase in the number of operating equipment. In case of modifying / changing information on process change and port logistics information operation management according to the improvement of field work, it is not only necessary to develop an additional operation program at the level of equipment and source code change, but also requires a high cost for system maintenance. There is a problem.

Proposed to solve this problem is Patent Registration No. 10-1357242 (Port Logistics Information Management System and Method applying the PPM) (hereinafter referred to as 'prior invention').

In the preceding invention, a separate BPMS (Business Process Management System) that manages business processes is applied to the port logistics information management system that handles the overall work of port logistics, and the business processes commonly used in the ports are defined and electronicized. It is proposed to increase the reusability of the port logistics information management system by providing user-defined activities for port logistics.

However, in the above-mentioned prior invention, a separate WPS is applied, which can increase the efficiency of port logistics information management, but it is not easy to collect the logistics data, so it is not effective at the actual site, and it is expressed in 2D on the manager's monitor. There was a problem of falling extremely.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, in the Prime Optimizer of the logistics monitoring server TOS Plus (Terminal Operating System Plus), ET Plus (External Truck Plus), RFID Plus (Radio Frequency IDentification Plus), ITV Plus (Inner Truck Vehicle Plus) and the information from Crane Plus and the data stored in DB through DB Plus to verify the reliability, and VT Plus (Virtual Terminal Plus) provides facility location information ( Display the virtual 3D image including Equipments Position info, Device Status info, Job Info, and Instance Massage, and show the movement status and location of logistics loaded in the port yard The purpose is to provide a logistics tracking system using a virtual terminal that can be easily recognized as a monitor.

Logistics tracking system using a virtual terminal according to the present invention is a terminal operating system (TOS), an external truck (External Truck), RFID M / W Server, VMT (Vehicle Mounted Terminal), crane (Crane) server, OCR M / W ( Information transmitted from the Optical Character Reader Middle Ware, respectively, is delivered to the logistics monitoring server. The logistics monitoring server transmits a job order, inventory, crane status, and IT request through TOS.
