Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a support system for exporting frozen foods overseas, and more particularly to a frozen food export support structure that comprehensively manages and supports quarantine conditions, labeling language, storage conditions, transport control, document creation, and notification functions. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, exporting frozen foods involved many steps, such as complying with each country's quarantine requirements, ingredient labeling standards, label language compatibility, customs document preparation, and frozen transportation requirements, which resulted in manual processing that was prone to errors and a significant burden on staff. Furthermore, the need to comply with different standards for each exporting country posed a high barrier to entry for small businesses. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 6925483 (paragraphs 0010 to 0013, Figure 3) discloses a customs clearance support configuration for export products, but does not address the transportation control, quarantine response, label generation, and notification functions specific to frozen foods. [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 7057338 (paragraphs 0011 to 0014, Figure 2) describes support for multilingual display of export products, but does not include refrigeration temperature control, automatic document creation, or integrated configuration with notification UX. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Previously, various manual processes were required to deal with the various aspects of each country, such as different quarantine standards, labeling requirements, refrigerated transport control, and customs document preparation, which resulted in issues such as human error, processing delays, and quality deterioration. This invention provides a system that automates and supports these processes in an integrated manner, achieving both export efficiency and quality maintenance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention includes a food management database that centrally records and manages information on ingredients, processing history, storage conditions, and transportation conditions of foods to be exported.

[0006] The system is equipped with an export response determination mechanism that determines whether export is possible based on quarantine conditions, labeling requirements, storage temperature standards, etc. for each export destination, and automatically presents necessary measures.

[0007] The assessment mechanism automatically translates and converts the display language, expiration date, allergen information, etc. through the label optimization mechanism to generate a suitable label.

[0008] Furthermore, the refrigerated transport control mechanism manages temperature ranges, loading conditions, delivery routes, customs clearance timing, etc., ensuring optimal transport while maintaining food quality.

[0009] The facility also has a progress management support mechanism that guides the process of shipping preparation, labeling, quarantine application, and document preparation, and notifies relevant parties.

[0010] In addition, the system has a learning control mechanism that accumulates customs clearance records, packaging conditions, submitted documents, etc. for multiple export destinations and uses this information to optimize future shipments.

[0011] The character AI will interactively notify the shipper or export officer via voice or text about the progress of shipment preparations, confirmation items, incomplete documents, customs clearance results, etc. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] This invention automates the quarantine requirements, labeling, refrigerated transport management, and customs document preparation required for exporting frozen foods, significantly reducing the human burden and errors. It also makes it easier for small businesses to respond to overseas markets, allowing them to maintain quality while complying with international standards. Furthermore, interactive notifications by character AI reduce the psychological burden on workers and the risk of operational errors. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. This system consists of a cloud-based food management database, an export compliance determination server, a label generation unit, a refrigerated transport control unit, a customs document management unit, a learning optimization unit, and a character AI module.

[0014] When the exporter applies for shipment, information on the ingredients, processing, and temperature of the food product is registered, and the corresponding conditions for the export country are automatically displayed. The system generates the necessary labels and provides guidance on freezing temperature control and loading routes. Work procedures are notified step by step, and document submission can also be output directly from the system.

[0015] The character AI will use voice or text to check progress and warn of outstanding items, helping to reduce operational errors and increase worker peace of mind.

Claims

1. This is a delivery support system for exporting frozen foods, and is a frozen food export support structure characterized by having a food management database that records and manages information on the ingredients, processing information, storage conditions, transportation conditions, etc. of foods to be exported, and an export response determination mechanism that automatically determines whether or not to export based on the quarantine standards, labeling obligations, and transportation permit conditions of each export destination country.

2. The frozen food export support structure described in claim 1 is characterized in that the export compliance determination mechanism is equipped with a label optimization mechanism that automatically translates and converts ingredient labeling languages, storage temperature conditions, expiration date labels, allergen labels, etc., which differ for each exporting country, and automatically generates appropriate display labels.

3. The frozen food export support structure described in claim 1 or 2 is characterized in that the delivery support system is equipped with a refrigerated transport control mechanism that integrates management of freezing temperature ranges, loading times, delivery routes, customs clearance timing, etc., and optimizes transport plans while maintaining food quality.
