Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a management system for the management of spatially separated poster holders.
  • a central office In the conventional management of work to be carried out on spatially separate poster holders, for example by field staff, a central office is responsible for the start of work Work instructions distributed to the individual employees. The central office only evaluates the work carried out at the end of the working day.
  • the communication between the head office and the field staff has been improved by portable telephone devices, however, employees in the head office are time consuming due to telephone calls with field staff.
  • the exchanged information must be entered in a data processing in an additional step.
  • DE 43 21 754 A1 discloses a method and an arrangement for carrying out the method in which the fill levels of spatially distributed bulk goods containers are transmitted continuously or at intervals to a control center.
  • the transmission can take place via wire lines or via radio.
  • the data is evaluated in the control center and transmitted to vehicles, which then drive to the bulk containers for emptying.
  • the control center uses the received level data from the spatially distributed bulk containers to optimize the route for the vehicles.
  • a passing vehicle can request fill level data by radio from one of the bulk containers.
  • the disadvantage here is that only data can be recorded and no flexible and efficient communication of work-related data between the spatially distributed vehicles and the central office is possible.
  • Garbage can-specific data e.g. garbage can type, volume
  • the data stored in the transponder is read out by an interrogation device which is arranged in or on a garbage truck.
  • the present invention is based on the object of providing a method and a system with which various work on spatially distributed poster holders can be planned, coordinated and monitored efficiently and flexibly, in particular a continuous monitoring of the condition of all poster holders being possible should.
  • a mobile computer unit e.g. used to display layout plans for posters.
  • the procedure or management system allows paperless processing of all work steps that arise in the management of spatially separated poster holders, as well as monitoring and logging of work to be carried out.
  • the work can be easily monitored by determining the start of work with a time marker.
  • the identification of the poster holder ensures that work is carried out on the correct poster holder.
  • it is possible to read or enter work-specific information, so that a field worker can exchange information with his central office quickly and efficiently.
  • the central computer is preferably used to prepare the work to be done on the spatially distributed poster holders.
  • the sequence of work steps is determined by the central computer, so that the central office always has an overview of the work to be done during the day.
  • Bar codes are preferably also read in by a data reader of the mobile computer unit as identification information of a poster holder, as a result of which particularly rapid and secure identification is possible. It is advantageous to also confirm the execution of work steps by reading in bar codes which e.g. on a replaced part like a poster. Transferring this information to the central computer enables central registration and verification of all work steps. As a result, the head office always has control over the work carried out on the spatially separated poster holders.
  • images of poster holders or images of the poster holders are produced with an image recording device of the mobile computer unit. These pictures serve among other things as proof to clients that the work was carried out in the desired manner.
  • the central computer advantageously uses the data transmitted from the mobile computer units to create documents or billing lists, as a result of which the accounting is automated and simplified.
  • the data transmission takes place via a wireless connection, such as a cell phone network.
  • a wireless connection such as a cell phone network.
  • Means for optimization are preferably used on the central computer. This means that even short-term changes in the order situation can be recorded and processed by the central computer, with correspondingly changed information being transmitted to the mobile computer units.
  • the method according to the invention thus has a significantly increased flexibility compared to conventional methods.
  • the exchange of an old poster is confirmed by reading a bar code on a new poster and transmitted to the central computer. This makes it easy to monitor working hours.
  • the mobile computer unit displays instructions for the technical inspection of a poster holder.
  • the results are entered into the mobile computer unit and transmitted to the central computer. In this way, maintenance work can be initiated and monitored flexibly and efficiently.
  • the method according to the invention is used to automatically create credit notes for the people who work on the spatially separated ones Have carried out posters. Target times will be taken into account. This greatly simplifies the accounting of the work performed.
  • a central computer has means for preparing and managing information about the work to be carried out on a poster holder.
  • a mobile computer unit provides a means of communication with which work that has to be done on spatially distributed poster holders can be carried out, planned and monitored efficiently.
  • the data input and output of the mobile computer units is advantageously carried out via a menu-controlled system.
  • the use of structured input and output menus greatly simplifies the data transmission between the central computer and the mobile computer units and the operation of the mobile computer units.

  • the routes are economically optimized by suitable programs, for example the shortest connection paths between the poster holders 1 are selected.
  • the orders are transmitted to the mobile computer units 2 of the individual field staff and stored there.
  • the data transmission can take place via the wireless data transmission network 3 or an interface 11 for a connecting cable or a connection to a data line (not shown).
  • the sales representative When the sales representative has arrived at a poster holder 1, he reads in a bar code 9 with the mobile computer unit 2, which is attached to the poster holder 1.
  • the bar code 9 which has been read in is compared by the mobile computer unit 2 with the information stored there about the work order, so that the poster holder 1 on which work is to be carried out is clearly identified.
  • This identification information is provided with a Identifier of the sales representative and a time stamp provided via the wireless network 3 to the central computer 4, so that the central office is constantly informed about which sales representative has started work on which poster holder 1.
  • the field worker confirms this e.g. by reading in a bar code 13 on a newly attached poster 12. This information is again provided with an employee identification and a time marker and transmitted to the central computer 4.
  • the management system allows a quick change of some or all of the work instructions of the field staff, which are stored in the mobile computer units 2. These changes can also be prepared by the optimization software on the central computer 4.
  • the central computer 4 uses the time information transmitted by the mobile computer unit 2 to compare the working time with a predetermined working target time. Taking into account the working time and, if applicable, the desired working time, the central computer 4 automatically creates a credit calculated for the field worker concerned.
  • the management system used enables efficient and paperless handling of the work involved.
  • the method according to the invention leads to a considerable improvement in the flexibility, efficiency and transparency of the workflow which arises when managing work to be carried out on spatially separated poster holders 1.

  • the first step of the order execution on a poster holder 1 is the identification of the location by reading in the bar code 9 attached to the poster holder 1. Once the bar code 9 has been read in, the corresponding field on the LCD display 5 is automatically ticked. If the location information does not match that provided in the work plan, a warning message is issued. This is particularly important if many poster holders 1 are arranged in a narrow space and the differences between the locations are difficult to describe.
  • the exchange of a poster is e.g. confirmed by reading a bar code 13 on a new poster 12, which is indicated by a marking in a corresponding field.
  • a marking in a field indicates whether all data have been transferred to the control center properly.
  • General information can be displayed in a comment field. For example, a sales representative can be informed that he should check the lighting of a poster holder 1. A current order number is shown at the bottom of the LCD display 5.
  • FIG. 5 shows the menu item "Image poster", which is selected when a new poster is to be displayed for documentation purposes.
  • a recording of a poster holder 1 is indicated by a marking in a field. If automatic storage or data transmission to the central computer 4 is provided, the corresponding fields are marked. In the case of a manual selection, the corresponding lines must be selected, whereupon markings appear in the corresponding fields.
  • Figure 6 shows the display of the menu item "Maintenance lighting”.
  • fields are used to display and enter information. If a sales representative finds a faulty fluorescent tube on a poster holder 1, he selects the corresponding field in the "Error" column. As soon as he has fixed the error, he selects the corresponding field in the column "fixed". This information is transmitted wirelessly to the control center so that it is constantly informed that a problem that has occurred has been resolved. If the fault cannot be remedied by a sales representative on site, the corresponding field "fixed" remains unmarked. The head office is then informed of which poster holder 1 still has errors.
  • the embodiment of the invention is not limited to the preferred exemplary embodiments specified above. Rather, a number of variants are conceivable which make use of the method according to the invention and the management system for carrying out the method even in the case of fundamentally different types.
