JPH033802A - Loading information management system for pallet - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the size of a bar code by storing loading information of pallets and pallet numbers in a memory of a host computer, reading a bar code indicating the number of a pallet by a forklift, and transmitting same to a computer in the above management at the time of using a folklift. CONSTITUTION:A pallet number is read from a bar code of a pallet 9 with a bar code by an automatic bar code reader 8 of a forklift. The number is transmitted through a computer 6 and radio modems 10, 5 to a host computer 2. According to the received number, the host computer 2 recognizes loading information of a pallet from the stored information of a memory 4, displays same on a display 3 and further on a display 7 through the computer 6 of the forklift. By this arrangement, a bar code label can be reduced in size, and reading error can be decreased.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a pallet d:i item information management system that is applied to a system that performs loading/unloading work and transshipment work using a forklift and manages baggage. .

[Prior Art] Conventionally, all or part of the information such as the package number, item name, quantity, etc. of a package is coded and pasted on the package itself as a barcode label. The bag was read using a barcode reading bag device.

[Invention or Problem to be Solved] Conventionally, when storing all parcel data such as parcel number, item name, quantity, etc. on a barcode label, the barcode label itself becomes large due to the large amount of information to be encoded. In addition, there was a high possibility of reading errors when reading barcodes.

In addition, when the content of package information changes due to loading/unloading operations, for example, when the quantity decreases from 10 to 5, conventionally, the quantity data itself is converted into a barcode, so when the content is changed, , it was necessary to reissue a new barcode label and replace the barcode label.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The pallet baggage information management system according to the present invention automatically reads the pallet 9 to which a barcode label 11 indicating the back number (identification number) of the pallet is attached, and the barcode label. A forklift 1 equipped with an automatic barcode reader 8, a computer 6 that transmits the read pallet number to the host computer 2 via wireless modems 5 and 10, and a display 7 that displays cargo information, and Memory 4 for recording package data such as package number, product name, quantity, etc., and the corresponding pallet back number
and a host computer 2 equipped with a display 3 for displaying the information, and the post computer 2 receives the pallet back number transmitted from the forklift 1 via the wireless modem 5, and displays the pallet corresponding to the pallet back number. The present invention is characterized in that the information on the cargo on the pallet is recognized and managed by searching the cargo data such as the cargo number, item name, quantity, etc. of the cargo on the pallet and comparing it with the cargo data recorded in the memory 4. .

[Function] A barcode label indicating the pallet's back number is attached to the pallet, and the forklift automatically reads the pallet's back number during loading/unloading and transshipment operations and transmits this information to the host computer. .

On the other hand, the host computer has recorded in advance the back number of the pallet and the corresponding parcel data on the pallet, such as the parcel number, product name, quantity, etc., and the pallet number information transmitted by the forklift and this memory. By referring to the data recorded on the pallet, it is possible to recognize the cargo information on the pallet.

[Example] Examples of the present invention are shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of the invention.

When the forklift 1 goes to pick up the cargo on the pallet 9 during loading/unloading or transshipment work, the barcode reader 8 installed at the front of the forklift reads the barcode attached to the pallet's insertion port 9-1. Automatically read label 11. This barcode label 11 is

0,5 to the host computer 2.

On the other hand, the host computer 2 stores information such as the pallet back number, the corresponding baggage number and item name of the baggage on the pallet,
Data such as quantity is recorded in the memory 4, and by querying the pallet back number transmitted from the forklift 1 and the data in the memory 4, the forklift 1 or the pallet currently being transported is Recognizes various information on luggage.

This information is displayed on the display 3 on the host computer 2 side.
The information can be transmitted to the computer 6 on the forklift 1 and displayed on the display 7 of the forklift 1 by radio. Therefore, by displaying the information on the display 3 on the host computer side, it is possible to monitor in real time on the host computer 2 side the number of pallets and what kind of cargo the forklift is currently transporting. . Furthermore, by displaying this cargo information on the display 7 of the forklift 1, when the operator of the forklift 1 is about to transport the pallet 11, even if the operator of the forklift 1 is trying to transport the pallet 11, he or she does not know what the cargo is on the pallet. Even if the user does not have knowledge of cargo such as how many quantities there are, by actually carrying out pallet transport operations, various cargo information will be automatically displayed on the display 7 on the forklift 1 during the operation. You can check the contents of your luggage.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

(1) To obtain information on the parcel on the valet, only the back number of the pallet can be read, so there is less information to be read, and the barcode label can be made smaller and more compact, and there is no risk of reading errors. The possibility can also be reduced.

(2) Since the method involves removing barcode labels from the pallets, cargo information such as
Even if data such as the parcel number, item name, quantity, etc. change, it is only necessary to rewrite the parcel information recorded in the memory of the host computer, and there is no need to reissue barcode labels.
