Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an order receiving and issuing system for unit cables, and more particularly to an order receiving and issuing system for unit cables used in indoor electrical wiring of proprietary parts such as condominiums for sale.

Background Art

[0002] For indoor electrical wiring of proprietary parts such as condominiums for sale, for example, circuit wiring such as switches, outlets, and lighting is designed in advance, and unit cables in which the required number of cables having the required cable length are combined may be used. In order to facilitate wiring at the site, the cable part of the unit cable displays color-coding of the cables according to the type of load to which the cables are connected and destination indications such as the type of load. By using the unit cable, wiring work at the site can be performed according to the cable display, and it becomes possible to shorten the wiring work time and save labor in the entire electrical construction. In addition, since the unit cable is produced in the factory, wiring using the unit cable has great advantages in terms of quality and reliability.

[0003] On the other hand, floor plans and electrical equipment are diverse, and the specifications of unit cables vary for each order received. Furthermore, for the design, manufacture, and delivery of unit cables, electrical equipment diagrams and a list of housing units are required. Conventionally, changes to the specifications of unit cables are often made by attaching a redlined correction drawing to a FAX or email. In this case, there are unclear parts in the changed content, and it takes a lot of time to resolve misrecognition. Therefore, in recent years, a method has been adopted in which, as in the technology described in Patent Document 1, IT technology is used to digitize wiring diagrams and a list of housing units and share order receiving and issuing information.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, according to the technique described in Patent Document 1, once the electrical equipment wiring information is input using CAD for electrical equipment input, if the electrical equipment wiring is changed, an order cancellation operation must be performed, and the electrical equipment wiring must be input again into the CAD for electrical equipment input. From the perspective of labor saving in order receiving and placing, there are still insufficient aspects. On the other hand, among electrical construction companies that place orders for unit cables, there are cases where they do not use CAD for electrical equipment input and send materials for unit cables created by handwriting or the like. Also, when the specifications of unit cables are changed by electrical construction companies, red-inked corrected electrical equipment diagrams and wiring diagrams are often sent. Due to misrecognition caused by the unclear nature of the electrical equipment diagrams and wiring diagrams, incorrect designs may be made. To resolve this, multiple exchanges with electrical construction companies occurred, resulting in complicated processing.

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the inventors focused on the input data in the order receiving and placing system for unit cables, constructed a mechanism that allows connection information to be directly input and edited from the Internet, and found that if the design and modification of unit cables can be performed without the need for CAD for electrical equipment input, the problem can be solved, and thus completed the present invention.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a system that can achieve labor saving in order receiving and placing in an order receiving and placing system for unit cables used in indoor electrical wiring of condominiums for sale and the like.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] A unit cable order receiving and placing system that uses connection information via the Internet as input data and orders and receives unit cables based on the input data, and determines the specifications of the unit cables based on the connection information.

[0009] According to the invention described in claim 1, the data necessary for inputting into the order receiving and placing system is only the connection information. By providing a mechanism that allows direct input of connection information on the Internet, it is not necessary to use CAD for electrical equipment input.

[0010] The invention described in claim 2 is a unit cable order receiving and placing system according to claim 1, wherein when changing the specifications of the unit cable, corrected data obtained by correcting the connection information on the Internet is input as input data into the unit cable order receiving and placing system.

[0011] According to the invention described in claim 2, when the indoor electrical wiring is changed after the order is placed, if it is before manufacturing, the connection information input at the time of placing the order can be corrected, which can greatly contribute to labor saving in order receiving and placing.

Effects of the Invention

[0012] According to the present invention, the data input into the order receiving and placing system is only the connection information. By providing a mechanism for direct input and correction via the Internet, it is not necessary to use CAD for electrical equipment input. Before placing an order, the specifications of the unit cable can be obtained, so that incorrect input can be confirmed. As a result, incorrect ordering of unit cables can be prevented.

[0013] In particular, in the invention described in claim 2, when the indoor electrical wiring is changed after the order is placed, if it is before manufacturing, the connection information input at the time of placing the order can be corrected, which can greatly contribute to labor saving in order receiving and placing.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments (examples) for carrying out the present invention will be specifically described. Note that the invention of the present disclosure is not limited to the following examples.

[0015] In an embodiment of the present invention, a data input electronic terminal storing an order data input program for inputting wiring information and an order receiving electronic terminal storing a data conversion program for converting into a data format necessary for manufacturing a product based on the received data are connected via the Internet.

[0016] The order data input program has a simple CAD function specialized for inputting wiring information. In addition, on the data input electronic terminal, it can be displayed on the entire terminal screen, and using display tabs or the like, other functions can be displayed on the entire terminal screen (switch the screen). Using this order data input program, a wiring diagram is created.

[0017] In the order program, the wiring diagram input by the order data input program is printed and compared with the actual electrical equipment diagram to check whether there is an error in the order information. If there is an error, it is possible to return to the order data input program and input correct information to prevent incorrect orders. At the time of ordering, orderer information (company name, delivery destination, etc.) is added to the wiring information and sent to the data conversion program.

[0018] In the data conversion program, based on the wiring information sent from the order program, manufacturing design of the unit cable is performed. Specifically, data necessary for manufacturing the unit cable is generated from the wiring information, and the data is sent to the manufacturing apparatus. In the manufacturing apparatus, the unit cable is manufactured based on the data. On the other hand, information such as the delivery destination and the destination of the invoice can be obtained from the orderer information included in the data sent from the order program, and it is possible to create a shipping note from the issuance of the invoice and the like.

[0019] If the indoor electrical wiring is changed after the order is placed, before manufacturing, use the order data input program to correct the wiring information input at the time of ordering, and for the rest, perform the same processing as at the time of ordering.

[0020] Thus, according to this embodiment, by directly inputting and editing the wiring information, the specifications of the unit cable can be confirmed at the time of input, and incorrect design and incorrect manufacturing can be prevented. In particular, if the indoor electrical wiring is changed after the order is placed, before manufacturing, it is only necessary to correct the wiring information input at the time of ordering, which can greatly contribute to the labor saving of order receiving and placing.
