Problems solved by technology

[0014] Like this, although the structural example of above-mentioned patent document 2 also carries out inventory management and ordering of article with sensor, because: (1) manages inventory by entering and exiting, although can grasp its number, can not grasp the residual quantity in use, especially It is the case that it has been used up, as long as it is not thrown out of the house, it is still considered as inventory, and the inventory cannot be accurately grasped. (2) When using the remaining quantity management, the order cannot reflect the inventory, so there are still items including the remaining quantity of the item Proper inventory management is difficult to achieve
[0015] In the technologies disclosed in the above two patent documents, when the place of use of the item is different from the place for storing the stock, the stock amount cannot reflect the remaining amount, and it is difficult to achieve proper stock management.

Embodiment 1

[0076] This example uses figure 1 , 2 , 3, 5, and 6, examples of consumer goods remaining monitoring, inventory management, ordering, and order receiving and delivery management used at the order receiving office in the children's hospital 101 will be described. figure 1 It is the system diagram of the present invention, figure 2 It is the processing flow of the present invention.

[0077] In hospitals, the use of wireless may sometimes cause malfunctions of medical devices, so the disadvantages of using wireless sensor networks should also be considered. In this case, it is best to use the wired part for wired and the rest for wireless. Or depending on the situation, all of them can be wired. In the following description, there is no limitation on whether to use wired or wireless.

[0078] There are many types of consumables used in hospitals. Here, three types of syringes (1 type), bandages (1 type), and disinfectant alcohol (1 type) are used as management targets. Th...

Embodiment 2

[0145] Next, an example in which the present invention is applied to surplus inventory management in a factory will be described.

[0146] Screw A and screw B are used in the production line of a certain product. For one product, 5 A screws are used at 1 point of the production line, and 5 B screws are used at 2 points of the production line, totaling 10 B screws. Place the screw box at the place of use (3 places), and install a weight sensor on the box to grasp the number of screws by weight. The weight of 1 screw A or B is 10g. A box can hold up to 200 pieces.

[0147] The production capacity of the products in the factory is up to 40 per hour and up to 400 per day. That is, as long as there are at most 2000 screws A and 4000 screws B at most (equivalent to 200 screws A at most and 400 screws B at most in 1 hour).

[0148] The factory has two warehouses C and D, and each stock has a maximum of 500 screws A and a maximum of 1,000 screws B (a total of 1,000 screws A and 2,...

Embodiment 3

[0165] In this embodiment, the present invention will be described as an example in which the present invention is used for monitoring the remaining amount of consumer goods at home, inventory management, order processing, and order acceptance and delivery processing at the order receiving place. The consumer products listed in this embodiment are flour and toilet paper.

[0166] First, the structure of the sensor network will be explained. A weight sensor is installed on the flour bucket in the kitchen to measure the weight of flour. An infrared sensor is attached to the toilet paper box in the bathroom to measure the remaining amount of paper (the thickness of the paper). A personal computer with a function of an inventory order management server and a display function is installed at home. In addition, there is a base station between the above-mentioned sensors and the personal computer, and each sensor and the base station are installed at a distance where wireless commu...

Abstract

A system which solves the problem of the prior arts that residual quantity cannot be reflected on the inventory and proper inventory management is difficult particularly when the places to use and store the products are different and thoroughly enables processes to the ordering management and support of purchase and moreover the order acceptance management in the order accepting side from residual quantity and inventory management for a plurality of products is provided. In the inventory management and ordering system and the ordering management system, residual quantity of products which changes with use and inventory of products to always keep the products in the available condition are placed under the management, the residual quantity data of products obtained through management of residual quantity is reflected on the inventory management and the ordering is executed on the basis of the inventory management to which the management of residual quantity is reflected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to goods, especially consumer goods including food, remaining quantity, inventory management, order management, and purchase support system, and also to an order receiving management system, and particularly relates to remaining quantity, inventory management and ordering of consumer goods using a sensor network A system for management and purchase assistance, and a system for receiving order management. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the advancement and popularization of IT technology, the Internet has entered ordinary households, and portable devices such as mobile phones have become popular, and these devices can be connected to the Internet. In addition, it is common to form networks such as local area networks in homes and offices. In addition, recently, RFID (also referred to as RF (Radio Frequency, radio frequency) ID tags) has become popular instead of conventional barcodes, and is used for va...
