[0018] Hereinafter, the control system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 5 are diagrams showing the control system according to the present embodiment. Among these, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the control system according to the present embodiment.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of processing when qualification information is used in a modification of the control system according to the present embodiment. Further, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of processing when a storage rack is used in a modification of the control system according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the control system 1 controls the work equipment 30 and the work member 10 with identification information directly or through the intervention of an operator.

[0019] - Control System 1 - FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control system 1 according to the present embodiment. The control system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a working member 10 in which a use start date and / or use time is recorded and identification information is given, a first reader 20 that reads the identification information of the working member 10 and information on the use start date and / or use time, a working device 30 whose driving is controlled based on the information read by the first reader 20, and a server 40 that controls the driving of the working device 30. For example, the server 40 is communicably connected to each of the working device 30, the first reader 20, the storage rack 50, the factory entry / exit management system 60, and the time card reader 70. Also, each of the first reader 20 and the working member 10, the working member 10 and the storage rack 50, the working device 30 and the server 40, and the first reader 20 and the working device 30 may be communicably connected. Further, these server 40, working device 30, factory entry / exit management system 60, time card reader 70, first reader 20, storage rack 50, and working member 10 may be communicably connected to each other via a communication network such as the Internet line. Also, a user terminal possessed by the user may be communicably connected to the server 40, the working device 30, the factory entry / exit management system 60, the time card reader 70, the first reader 20, the storage rack 50, and the working member 10 via a communication network such as the Internet line. Each component of such a control system 1 will be described below.

[0020] <Configuration of Server 40> Server 40 is a management server that can be accessed through a communication network such as the Internet. Server 40 may be provided in a state where a virtual dedicated server is constructed within a physical server accessible via the Internet. Server 40 includes a control unit 41, a storage unit 42, and a communication unit 43. The control unit 41 is composed of a microcomputer including a CPU and a semiconductor memory, and controls the operation of Server 40. More specifically, the control unit 41 functions as a storage means 411, a reception means 412, a determination means 413, and a drive means 414 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 42.

[0021] The storage means 411 stores the identification information of the working member 10 in the storage unit 42 together with the reference elapsed days from the preset start date of use and / or the reference accumulated time of use. The reference elapsed days from the start date of use and / or the reference accumulated time of use are used as threshold information for driving determination of the working device 30. In addition, the identification information includes, for example, the name, date of birth, blood type, gender, holding qualifications, work history, and manufacturing number of the working member 10, and these information are digitized.

[0022] The reception means 412 receives the identification information read by the first reader 20 and the elapsed days from the start date of use or the accumulated time of use.

[0023] The determination means 413 determines whether or not the identification information read by the first reader 20 matches the identification information stored in the storage unit 42. When determining the match of the identification information and targeting the working member 10 including personal information, the determination means 413 extracts information to the extent that an individual can be identified and determines the match of the identification information. That is, in determining the match of the identification information, if a part of the identification information matches, the match of the identification information can be determined. For example, when the identification information is the name, date of birth, blood type, gender of the operator, and the manufacturing number of the working member 10, if only the name of the operator or the name and date of birth of the operator are used, the case of having the same surname and the same name cannot be excluded. Therefore, the determination element is further expanded to include the blood type. If there is still a problem in determining the match of the identification information, the manufacturing number of the working member 10 can also be included in the determination element.

[0024] Further, the determination means 413 determines whether or not the number of days elapsed or the cumulative time of the usage time from the start date of use read by the first reader 20 exceeds the reference number of days elapsed and / or the reference cumulative time of the usage time from the preset start date of use stored in the storage unit 42.

[0025] When the number of days elapsed or the cumulative time of the usage time from the start date of use read by the first reader 20 exceeds the reference number of days elapsed and / or the reference cumulative time of the usage time from the preset start date of use stored in the storage unit 42, the determination means 413 determines that the drive of the working device 30 is inappropriate in terms of time (the number of days elapsed or the cumulative time of the usage time from the start date of use read by the first reader 20 ≥ the reference number of days elapsed and / or the reference cumulative time of the usage time from the preset start date of use stored in the storage unit 42).

[0026] On the other hand, when the number of days elapsed or the cumulative time of the usage time from the start date of use read by the first reader 20 does not exceed the reference number of days elapsed from the preset start date of use and / or the reference cumulative time of the usage time stored in the storage unit 42 (the number of days elapsed or the cumulative time of the usage time from the start date of use read by the first reader 20 < the reference number of days elapsed from the preset start date of use and / or the reference cumulative time of the usage time stored in the storage unit 42), the determination means 413 determines that the drive of the working device 30 is appropriate in terms of time.

[0027] Then, the determination means 413 determines the propriety of driving the working device 30 based on the determination result of the matching of the identification information and the determination result of the propriety of driving the working device 30 in terms of time. When the identification information matches and the driving of the working device 30 in terms of time is appropriate, the determination means 413 determines that the driving of the working device 30 is appropriate. Also, when the identification information matches and the driving of the working device 30 in terms of time is inappropriate, the determination means 413 determines that the driving of the working device 30 is improper. Further, even when the identification information does not match and the driving of the working device 30 in terms of time is appropriate, the determination means 413 determines that the driving of the working device 30 is improper. Also, even when the identification information does not match and the driving of the working device 30 in terms of time is inappropriate, the determination means 413 determines that the driving of the working device 30 is improper.

[0028] The drive means 414 controls the drive of the working device 30 based on the determination result of the determination means 413. When the drive means 414 receives information (first information) from the determination means 413 that the drive of the working device 30 is appropriate, it transitions the working device 30 to a drivable state. On the other hand, when the drive means 414 receives information (second information) from the determination means 413 that the drive of the working device 30 is improper, the drive means 414 does not transition the working device 30 to a drivable state. Also, when the working device 30 is driving when the drive means 414 receives information (second information) from the determination means 413 that the drive of the working device 30 is improper, the drive means 414 stops the drive of the working device 30.

[0029] <Working member 10> The working member 10 is a member that is mainly or incidentally used when driving the working device 30. For example, when the working member 10 is worn by an operator, it includes protective gear such as helmets, safety shoes, dust masks, and protective glasses. When the working member 10 is not worn by the operator himself / herself, it includes lifting tools such as wires, shackles, and nylon slings. Information such as identification information and qualification information is given to the working member 10 in the form of printing, two-dimensional codes, etc. (information code 12).

[0030] <First reader 20> The first reader 20 is a device used when reading the identification information of the working member 10, as well as information on the start date of use and / or the usage time. The first reader 20 reads the above information by binarization processing or image matching.

[0031] The first reader 20 photographs the printing, two-dimensional code, etc. attached to the working member 10. For example, the first reader 20 includes a camera, a sensor, etc.

[0032] <Working device 30> The working device 30 includes equipment such as construction machinery used for work in factories, construction sites, etc., industrial vehicles such as forklifts, conveyor belt systems, industrial robots, CNC machines, 3D printers, equipment for producing products such as camera systems in quality control, X-ray inspection machines, cooling systems, and equipment for inspecting products, etc. It can be controlled to drive based on the information read by the first reader 20. Various members such as a display unit and a voice output unit are attached to the working device 30, and various information can be recognized visually and auditorily.

[0033] Note that the program executed by the control unit 41 is not limited to that stored in the storage unit 42. As the program executed by the control unit 41, those transmitted from an external device to the control unit 41 via the communication unit 43, those stored in a storage medium such as a USB memory attached to the server 40, those stored in another server (for example, a cloud server) separate from the server 40, etc. may be used.

[0034] The storage unit 42 is composed of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), an SSD (Solid State Drive), etc. Various programs including the program executed by the control unit 41 are stored in the storage unit 42.

[0035] The communication unit 43 is, for example, a wired LAN (Local Area Network) module, a wireless LAN module, etc., and includes an interface for performing wired or wireless communication. That is, the communication unit 43 is composed of a communication interface configured to communicate with other devices via a communication network.

[0036] Next, the processing flow of the control system 1 will be described. Note that the operation of the control system 1 shown below is performed by the control unit 41 executing the program stored in the storage unit 42 in the server 40.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 3, first, the storage means 411 stores the identification information of the working member 10 in the storage unit 42 together with the reference elapsed days from the preset start date of use and / or the reference cumulative time of use time.

[0038] When using the working device 30, the first reader 20 is used to read the identification information, the start date of use and / or the use time information from the working member 10 (step S10).

[0039] The information read by the first reader 20 is received by the receiving means 412 (step S20).

[0040] The determination means 413 determines whether or not the identification information received by the receiving means 412 matches the identification information stored in the storage unit 42 (step S30). Further, the determination means 413 determines whether or not the number of days elapsed or the cumulative time of the usage time from the usage start date read by the first reader 20 exceeds the reference number of days elapsed from the preset usage start date and / or the reference cumulative time of the usage time stored in the storage unit 42 (step S40).

[0041] Next, the determination means 413 determines whether or not to drive the work device 30 based on the determination result of the match of the identification information and the determination result of whether or not to drive the work device 30 in terms of time (step S50).

[0042] Next, the driving means 414 controls the driving of the work device 30 based on the determination result by the determination means 413 (step S60). When the determination means 413 determines that the driving of the work device 30 is appropriate, the driving means 414 transitions the work device 30 to a drivable state. On the other hand, when the determination means 413 determines that the driving of the work device 30 is inappropriate, the driving means 414 does not transition the work device 30 to a drivable state. Thereby, a series of drive controls are performed.

[0043] According to the control system 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the control system 1 includes a working member 10 on which a use start date and / or use time is recorded and identification information is assigned, a reader (first reader 20) that reads the identification information of the working member 10 and information on the use start date and / or use time, a working device 30 whose driving is controlled based on the information read by the reader, and a server 40 that controls the driving of the working device 30. The server 40 functions as a storage means 411, a reception means 412, a determination means 413, and a driving means 414 by executing a program. The storage means 411 stores the identification information of the working member 10 in the storage unit 42 together with a reference number of elapsed days from a preset use start date and / or a reference cumulative time of use. The reception means 412 receives the identification information read by the reader and the number of elapsed days from the use start date or the cumulative time of use. The determination means 413 determines whether the identification information read by the reader matches the identification information stored in the storage unit 42, and whether the number of elapsed days from the use start date or the cumulative time of use read by the reader exceeds the reference number of elapsed days from the preset use start date or the reference cumulative time of use stored in the storage unit 42. The driving means 414 controls the driving of the working device 30 based on the determination result of the determination means 413. More specifically, conventionally, a technique of reading an identification member using a camera or the like and displaying employee information assigned or associated therewith has been known. For example, a technique of providing an identification member on a tool, assigning or associating employee information with this identification member, and displaying the employee information on an app by reading the identification member with a smartphone or the like has been known. However, in the prior art, it has only been possible to confirm the employee information. However, according to the above configuration, the control of the working device 30 can be performed based on the information assigned to the working member 10.

[0044] Also, in the control system 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, when the determination means 413 determines that the number of days elapsed or the cumulative time of use from the start date of use read by at least the reader exceeds the reference number of days elapsed or the reference cumulative time of use from the preset start date of use stored in the storage unit 42, the drive means 414 may be configured to stop the drive of the work device 30. In this case, the drive control of the work device 30 can be systematically performed.

[0045] Note that the control system 1 according to the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described manner, and various modifications can be made.

[0046] <Utilization of qualification information> In the control system 1 according to the present embodiment, qualification information regarding the use of the work device 30 may be recorded on the work member 10 and identification information may be assigned thereto. In this case, the first reader 20 reads the identification information and qualification information of the work member 10. Further, the storage means 411 causes the storage unit 42 to record the qualification information associated with the identification information of the work member 10 and the type information of the work device 10. The reception means 412 receives the identification information and qualification information read by the first reader 20. The determination means 413 determines whether or not the identification information read by the first reader 20 matches the identification information stored in the storage unit 42. Note that the qualification information means the qualifications required for operating the work device 30. Also, the type information of the work device 30 means information related to the model of the work device 30.

[0047] Further, the determination means 413 determines whether or not the qualification information read by the first reader 20 matches the qualification information stored in the storage unit 42.

[0048] When the qualification information read by the first reader 20 is different from the qualification information stored in the storage unit 42, the determination means 413 determines that the work device 30 is not being driven by a qualified person.

[0049] On the other hand, when the qualification information read by the first reader 20 matches the qualification information stored in the storage unit 42, the determination means 413 determines that the working device 30 is about to be driven by a qualified person.

[0050] Then, the determination means 413 determines the validity of driving the working device 30 based on the determination result of the match of the identification information and the determination result of the match of the qualification information. When it is determined that the identification information matches and the working device 30 is about to be driven by a qualified person, the determination means 413 determines that the driving of the working device 30 is appropriate. Also, when it is determined that the identification information matches and the working device 30 is not about to be driven by a qualified person, the determination means 413 determines that the driving of the working device 30 is inappropriate. Further, even when it is determined that the identification information does not match and the working device 30 is about to be driven by a qualified person, the determination means 413 determines that the driving of the working device 30 is inappropriate. Also, even when it is determined that the identification information does not match and the working device 30 is about to be driven by a qualified person, the determination means 413 determines that the driving of the working device 30 is inappropriate.

[0051] The processing flow of the control system 1 when using the qualification information will be described.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 4, first, the storage means 411 stores in the storage unit 42 the qualification information associated with the identification information of the working member 10 and the type information of the working device 30.

[0053] When using the working device 30, the first reader 20 reads the identification information and the qualification information from the working member 10 (step S70).

[0054] The information read by the first reader 20 is received by the reception means 412 (step S80).

[0055] The determination means 413 determines whether or not the identification information received by the reception means 412 matches the identification information stored in the storage unit 42 (step S90). Further, the determination means 413 determines whether or not the qualification information read by the first reader 20 matches the qualification information stored in the storage unit 42 (step S100).

[0056] Next, the determination means 413 determines whether or not it is appropriate to drive the working device 30 based on the determination result of the match of the identification information and the determination result of the match of the qualification information (step S110).

[0057] Next, the drive means 414 controls the drive of the working device 30 based on the determination result by the determination means 413 (step S120). When the determination means 413 determines that the drive of the working device 30 is appropriate, the drive means 414 transitions the working device 30 to a drivable state corresponding to the type information of the working device 30 associated with the qualification information. On the other hand, when the determination means 413 determines that the drive of the working device 30 is inappropriate, the drive means 414 does not transition the working device 30 to a drivable state. Thereby, a series of drive controls are performed.

[0058] <Use of the storage rack 50> The control system 1 according to this embodiment may be in a form that uses the storage rack 50 for the working member 10. In this case, the storage rack 50 can receive and record various information recorded on the working member 10, and can receive and record the identification information of the working member 10 and information related to the storage time of the working member 10. The storage rack 50 is provided with a second reader 51, and the second reader 51 reads various information from the working member 10 placed on the storage rack 50. For example, the second reader 51 reads information related to the storage time of the working member 10 from the storage rack 50. In this case, the working device 30 is controlled to drive based on the information related to the storage time of the working member 10 read from the storage rack 50. Various members such as a display unit and a voice output unit are attached to the storage rack 50, and various information can be recognized visually and aurally. Also, in the storage rack 50, various information may not be read from the working member 10 by the second reader 51. For example, the storage rack 50 may be configured to read various information from the working member 10 by including a wireless receiver. In this case, the working member 10 is provided with a wireless transmitter, and various information can be read non - contact by receiving the signal emitted from the wireless transmitter with the wireless receiver.

[0059] Also, the storage means 411 causes the storage unit 42 to record the identification information of the working member 10 together with a preset reference cumulative time of the storage time. The reception means 412 receives the identification information read by the second reader 51 and the cumulative time of the storage time of the working member 10. The determination means 413 determines whether or not the identification information read from the storage rack 50 matches the identification information stored in the storage unit 42.

[0060] Also, the determination means 413 determines whether or not the cumulative time of the storage time of the working member 10 read from the storage rack 50 exceeds the preset reference cumulative time of the storage time of the working member 10 stored in the storage unit 42.

[0061] When the cumulative storage time of the working member 10 read from the storage rack 50 exceeds the reference cumulative time of the preset storage time of the working member 10 stored in the storage unit 42, the determination means 413 determines that it is inappropriate to drive the working device 30 in terms of time (the cumulative storage time of the working member 10 read from the storage rack 50 ≥ the reference cumulative time of the preset storage time of the working member 10 stored in the storage unit 42).

[0062] On the other hand, when the cumulative storage time of the working member 10 read from the storage rack 50 does not exceed the reference cumulative time of the preset storage time of the working member 10 stored in the storage unit 42, the determination means 413 determines that it is appropriate to drive the working device 30 in terms of time (the cumulative storage time of the working member 10 read from the storage rack 50 < the reference cumulative time of the preset storage time of the working member 10 stored in the storage unit 42).

[0063] Then, the determination means 413 determines whether to drive the working device 30 based on the determination result of the match of the identification information and the determination result of the propriety of the drive of the working device 30 in terms of time. When the identification information matches and the drive of the working device 30 in terms of time is appropriate, the determination means 413 determines that it is appropriate to drive the working device 30. Also, when the identification information matches and the drive of the working device 30 in terms of time is inappropriate, the determination means 413 determines that it is inappropriate to drive the working device 30. Also, even when the identification information does not match and the drive of the working device 30 in terms of time is appropriate, the determination means 413 determines that it is inappropriate to drive the working device 30. Also, even when the identification information does not match and the drive of the working device 30 in terms of time is inappropriate, the determination means 413 determines that it is inappropriate to drive the working device 30.

[0064] The processing flow of the control system 1 when using the storage rack 50 will be described.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 5, first, the identification information of the working member 10 is recorded in the storage unit 42 together with the reference cumulative time of the preset storage time.

[0066] When using the working machine 30, when the working member 10 is taken out from the storage rack 50, the identification information and the cumulative time of the storage time of the working member 10 are read from the storage rack 50 (step S130).

[0067] The information read by the control system 1 is received by the receiving means 412 (step S140).

[0068] The determination means 413 determines whether or not the identification information received by the receiving means 412 matches the identification information stored in the storage unit 42 (step S150). Further, the determination means 413 determines whether or not the cumulative time of the storage time of the working member 10 read from the storage rack 50 exceeds the reference cumulative time of the storage time of the preset working member 10 stored in the storage unit 42 (step S160).

[0069] Next, the determination means 413 determines whether or not to drive the working machine 30 based on the determination result of the match of the identification information and the determination result of whether or not to drive the working machine 30 in terms of time (step S170).

[0070] Next, the driving means 414 controls the driving of the working machine 30 based on the determination result by the determination means 413 (step S180). When the determination means 413 determines that the driving of the working machine 30 is appropriate, the driving means 414 transitions the working machine 30 to a drivable state. On the other hand, when the determination means 413 determines that the driving of the working machine 30 is inappropriate, the driving means 414 does not transition the working machine 30 to a drivable state. Thereby, a series of drive controls are performed.

[0071] In addition, the determination means 413 of the control system 1 according to the present embodiment may further confirm the presence or absence of the user of the working machine 30, and may guarantee the presence or absence of the user based on the result of the presence or absence confirmation and the identification information. The confirmation of the presence or absence of the user can be performed by, for example, face image authentication, fingerprint authentication, or the like. In this case, it leads to more surely ensuring that the person actually operating the working machine 30 is using the control system 1 via the working member 10.

[0072] Further, the determination means 413 may determine the presence or absence of a person operating the work device 30 based on the information acquired by the factory entry / exit management system 60 and the time card reader 70. This can lead to more surely ensuring that the person operating the work device 30 is using the control system 1 via the work member 10.

[0073] Also, in the present embodiment, when the determination means 413 determines whether or not the identification information read by the reader matches the identification information stored in the storage unit 42, a form in which the match of the identification information is determined based on a partial match of the identification information has been exemplified and described. However, as long as the effects of the control system 1 according to the present disclosure are not impaired, it is not limited to this. For example, when determining the match of the identification information, the determination means 413 may determine that the identification information matches when all of the identification information matches, and determine that the identification information does not match when all of the identification information does not match. Thereby, the determination means 413 can easily determine the match of the identification information.

[0074] Also, in the present embodiment, the determination means 413 has been exemplified and described in a form in which the match of the identification information is determined by a partial match of the identification information. At this time, a weighting coefficient may be appropriately assigned to each piece of information included in the identification information to be identified in advance. Thereby, the determination means 413 can determine the identification information so that the user can obtain a desired result based on the information with a higher degree of importance among the pieces of information included in the identification information.

[0075] Further, when it is determined by the determination means 413 that the number of days elapsed or the cumulative time of the usage time from the start date of use read by the reader exceeds the reference number of days elapsed from the preset start date of use and / or the reference cumulative time of the usage time stored in the storage unit 42, the control system 1 may perform an order processing of the work member 10.

[0076] In addition, in the control system 1 according to the present embodiment, when a hoisting tool is used as the working member 10, information on the load history when a load equal to or greater than a certain value is further detected may be used for the determination related to the drive of the working device 30. In this case, when the preset load value is exceeded, the determination means 413 determines that the drive of the working device 30 is improper, and the drive means 414 may stop the drive of the working device 30 based on the determination result that the drive of the working device 30 by the determination means 413 is improper.

[0077] Also, in the control system 1 according to the present embodiment, although the form in which the start date of use and / or the usage time of the working member 10 are recorded has been described as an example, it is not limited to this. For example, the working member 10 may be given identification information without recording the start date of use and / or the usage time.

[0078] For example, in this case, in the control system 1, a working member 10 to which identification information is given, a reader that reads the identification information of the working member 10, a working device 30 whose drive is controlled based on the information read by the reader, and a server 40 that controls the drive of the working device 30 are provided. The server 40 functions as a storage means 411, a reception means 412, a determination means 413, and a drive means 414 by executing a program. The storage means 411 stores the identification information of the working member 10 in the storage unit 42 together with the reference number of days elapsed from the preset start date of use and / or the reference cumulative time of the usage time. The reception means 412 receives the identification information read by the reader. The determination means 413 determines the match between the identification information read by the reader and the identification information stored in the storage unit 42, calculates the number of days elapsed and / or the elapsed time from the start date of use and / or the start time of use at the start date of use of the working member 10, and determines whether the calculated number of days elapsed and / or the elapsed time exceeds the reference number of days elapsed from the preset start date of use or the reference cumulative time of the usage time stored in the storage unit 42. The drive means 414 controls the drive of the working device 30 based on the determination result of the determination means 413.

[0079] Also, in the control system 1 according to the present embodiment, there are provided a working member 10 to which identification information is assigned, a storage rack 50 capable of recording the identification information of the working member 10, a working device 30 whose driving is controlled based on the start date of use of the working member 10 and / or the number of days elapsed and / or the time elapsed (storage time of the working member 10) from the start time of use on the start date of use, and a server 40 that controls the driving of the working device 30. The server 40 functions as a storage unit 411, a reception unit 412, a determination unit 413, and a driving unit 414 by executing a program. The storage unit 411 stores the identification information of the working member 10 in the storage unit 42 together with a reference cumulative time of a preset storage time. The reception unit 412 receives the identification information read from the storage rack 50. The determination unit 413 determines the match between the identification information read from the storage rack 50 and the identification information stored in the storage unit 42, calculates the number of days elapsed and / or the time elapsed from the start date of use of the working member 10 and / or the start time of use on the start date of use, and determines whether the calculated number of days elapsed and / or the time elapsed exceeds the reference number of days elapsed from the preset start date of use or the reference cumulative time of the use time stored in the storage unit 42. The driving unit 414 may control the driving of the working device 30 based on the determination result of the determination unit 413.

[0080] In addition, in the control system 1 according to the present embodiment, the working member 10 has been described by way of example as a form in which qualification information regarding the use of the working device 30 is recorded, but it is not limited thereto. For example, the working member 10 may be provided with identification information without recording the qualification information regarding the use of the working device 30.

[0081] For example, in this case, in the control system 1 according to the present embodiment, there are provided a working member 10 to which identification information is assigned, a reader for reading the identification information of the working member 10, a working device 30 whose driving is controlled based on the information read by the reader, and a server 40 for controlling the driving of the working device 30. The server 40 functions as a storage means 411, a reception means 412, a determination means 413, and a driving means 414 by executing a program. The storage means 411 stores, in the storage unit 42, qualification information associated with the identification information of the working member 10 and the type information of the working device 30. The reception means 412 receives the identification information read by the reader. The determination means 413 determines the match between the identification information read by the reader and the identification information stored in the storage unit 42. The driving means 414 may control the driving of the working device 30 based on the determination result of the determination means 413. In this way, the control system 1 can control the driving of the working device 30 corresponding to the type information of the working device 30 associated with the qualification information based on the determination result of the determination means 413.

[0082] Also, in the control system 1 according to the present embodiment, when it is determined that the driving of the working device 30 is inappropriate, some warning may be given before actually stopping the driving of the working device 30. For example, visual and auditory information may be output from a display unit, a sound emitting unit, etc. of the working device 30.
