Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent from transporting a load to different places erroneously by checking the destination of the load at the point of loading, sounding an alarm when the destination and the destination of the load are different, and displaying the original destination of the load. CONSTITUTION:In the place for loading, a load No. is inputted by an input device 8 connected to a terminal system 2. In a process part 9, the comparison between a check table 5 and the inputted load No. is performed. When not in the table 5, the destinations of the transportations means and that of the load are different so that the load No. can be stored in a storage part 11 to sent it to a host system 1. In the system 1, the load No. is retrieved by a table 3, taking out the corresponding landing code to send it to a process part 13. In the process part 13, by referring to a table 12, the load No. is converted to the name of landing and sent to the system 2. In the system 2, the alarm is given to an operator by a sound by an alarm generator 10. Next, the name of landing and the load No. are displayed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a cargo transportation management system, and more particularly to a method for preventing errors in loading cargo onto a means of transportation.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of work, people visually checked the destination address on the invoice affixed to the package or the destination code written on the package, and then loaded the package onto transportation means such as l/racks.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional transportation management system described above, when loading cargo onto a means of transportation such as a truck, the destination address on the invoice affixed to the cargo or the landing code of the cargo manually entered on the cargo is visually determined. Therefore, during periods when there is a large amount of cargo, the destination of the truck, etc. and the destination of the cargo may not be sufficiently confirmed, or the cargo may be loaded onto a truck with a different destination due to misreading or other reasons.

For this reason, it is not until the package arrives at the postal service and is unloaded from the truck that the destination is incorrect. a means of entering the destination of the
means for storing, means for retaining information on luggage to be transported to the destination of the transportation means, means for inputting a luggage number from the luggage, means for comparing the information on the luggage to be transported and the luggage number, and the result of the comparison. The present invention is characterized in that it has means for converting the cargo shipping name from the cargo number, generating a warning sound, and displaying the cargo number and the transportation brand when there is a mismatch.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. The host system 1 stores the baggage number (
A transportation information table 31 that manages baggage departure code, landing code, etc.; a landing code conversion processing unit 13 that converts a landing code into a destination name; and a landing code and destination name conversion table. It includes a court-compatible table 12. The terminal system 2 includes a landing code input device 7. Luggage number, input device 8. It is connected to the warning sound generating device 10 and the landing name display section 15, and the landing code storage section 4.
Loading check table5. Baggage No. Comparison Processing Unit 9. It includes a baggage number, storage unit] 1 and a destination name storage unit 14, and is connected to the host system 1 through a host/terminal connection line 6.

In the host system 1, the package number is registered as the package information when the package is received by the transport company.

Baggage information such as the origin code and destination code of the baggage is managed in the transportation information table 3. A terminal system 2 is installed at the place where cargo is loaded onto transportation means such as trucks,
When the destination of the means of transportation such as a truck is determined, the landing code of the destination is input using the landing code input device 7. The input landing code is stored in the landing code storage unit 4,
Sent to host system 1. On host system 1,
All baggage numbers corresponding to the landing code are extracted from the transportation information table 3 and sent to the terminal system 2.

In the terminal system 2, the cargo number sent from the host system 1 is stored in the loading check table 5. Data exchange between the terminal system 2 and the host system 1 is performed through the host/terminal connection line 6.

)・At the place where cargo is loaded onto a transportation means such as a rack, the cargo number connected to the terminal system 2 and the input device 8
Enter the package number for each package. When the baggage number and baggage number are input from the input bag W8, the baggage number and comparison processing section 9 compares the baggage number with the loading check table 5.

It is checked whether a matching baggage number exists on the loading check table 5. If the cargo exists on the loading check table 5, it means that the cargo has the correct landing code, so nothing is done.

If it does not exist on the loading check table 5, the destination of the means of transport and the destination of the cargo are different, so the cargo No.
The package number is stored in the storage unit 11, and the package number is sent to the host system 1. The host system 1 searches the transportation information table 3 for the package number and selects the package number.
, and sends it to the landing code conversion processing unit], 3.

The landing code conversion processing unit] 3 refers to the landing code correspondence table 12 and converts the landing code into a landing name.

The landing code conversion processing unit 13 converts the converted landing name into
Send to terminal system 2. In the terminal system 2, the destination name is stored in the destination name storage section 14, and the warning sound generating device 10 notifies the operator of the warning by voice.

Next, the destination name and luggage number stored in the destination name storage unit 14 and the luggage number stored in the storage unit 11 are displayed on the destination name display unit 15.

The warning sound generating device 10 notifies the user that the destination of the baggage is different from the destination of the transportation means, and the destination name display section 15 displays the correct destination of the baggage.

FIG. 2 illustrates a part of the transportation information table 3 included in the host system 1. As shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 illustrates a part of the loading check table 5 included in the terminal system 2. As shown in FIG.

FIG. 4 illustrates a part of the landing coat correspondence table 12 included in the host system.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention checks the destination of the cargo when it is loaded onto a means of transportation, and if the destination of the means of transportation and the destination of the cargo are different, it emits a warning sound and displays the original destination of the cargo. This has the effect of preventing cargo from being accidentally transported to a different location.

It is clear that the post/terminal connection line 6 of the present invention can provide the same effect even if means such as wireless are used in the installation environment of the terminal system 2.

Regarding the connection between the terminal system 1 of the present invention, the baggage number, and the input device 8, various connection methods such as radio waves, cables, etc. can be considered depending on the method of inputting the baggage number from the baggage.
It is clear that there is no difference in the effect obtained.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the transportation information table, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the loading check table, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the landing code correspondence table.
