[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments") will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following drawings, the same elements are designated by the same numbers or symbols throughout the description of the embodiments.

[0012] [Overview of Steel Loading Management System 1] 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining an overview of the steel frame loading management system 1. Components of the steel frame loading management system 1 will be described based on FIG. The steel frame loading management system 1 is a system that proposes a procedure for loading steel frames onto a transport vehicle, and is made up of at least a computer 10 with server functionality. In this embodiment, the steel frame loading management system 1 is a system that, in addition to the computer 10, further comprises a loader terminal 3 used by a loader 2 who actually loads the steel frames onto the bed of the transport vehicle. The loader terminal 3 is a terminal device used by the loader 2, and is, for example, a terminal device such as a mobile phone, smartphone, tablet terminal, personal computer, laptop computer, or a wearable terminal such as a smart watch, smart glasses, or HMD (Head Mounted Display). The computer 10 has a server function and may be realized, for example, by a single computer, or may be realized by multiple computers, such as a cloud computer. In this specification, a cloud computer may refer to either a computer that uses any computer in a scalable manner to perform a specific function, or a computer that includes multiple functional modules to realize a system and uses the functions in any combination. In addition, the steel structure loading management system 1 may include other terminals and devices in addition to the above-mentioned loader terminal 3 and computer 10, and the number, type and functions thereof are not particularly limited and can be designed as appropriate.

[0013] An outline of the processing steps when the steel frame loading management system 1 proposes a loading procedure for loading steel frames onto a transport vehicle will be described.

[0014] The computer 10 acquires a list of steel frames (step S1). The computer 10 acquires from the loader terminal 3 a list in which the serial number, dimensions, unit weight, quantity and three-dimensional data for each steel frame are registered.

[0015] Based on the three-dimensional data for each steel frame associated with the list, the computer 10 determines the number and type of transport vehicles required to transport the steel frames, as well as the steel frames to be placed on the loading platform of the transport vehicle and their placement locations (step S2). The computer 10 executes a simulation based on the three-dimensional data registered in the acquired list and a predetermined algorithm or predetermined AI, and determines the number and type of transport vehicles required to transport the steel beams, and the steel beams to be placed on the loading platform of the transport vehicles and their placement locations.

[0016] The computer 10 proposes a loading procedure for each transport vehicle (step S3). The computer 10 transmits the determined number and type of transport vehicles, the steel frames to be placed on the beds of the determined transport vehicles and their placement locations as loading procedures to the loader terminal 3, as loading procedures for each transport vehicle. The loader terminal 3 receives the loading procedure for each transport vehicle and displays it on its own display unit. The computer 10 displays the loading procedure on the loader terminal 3, thereby displaying the loading procedure for each transport vehicle.

[0017] The above is an overview of the steel frame loading management system 1. According to this steel frame loading management system 1, when loading cargo of a certain weight such as steel frames onto the loading platform of a transport vehicle, it is possible to suggest to the loader in what order, in what orientation, and in what position the steel frames should be loaded onto the loading platform.

[0018] [Device configuration] 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the steel frame loading management system 1. The device configuration of the steel frame loading management system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The steel frame loading management system 1 is a system that proposes a loading procedure for steel frames to be loaded onto a transport vehicle, and is composed of at least a computer 10. In this embodiment, in addition to the computer 10, the steel frame loading management system 1 is composed of a loader terminal 3 used by a loader 2 who actually loads the steel frames onto the bed of the transport vehicle. The steel frame loading management system 1 is a system in which a computer 10 is connected to a loader terminal 3 via a network 8 such as a public line network so as to be capable of data communication. In addition, the steel frame loading management system 1 may include other terminals and devices in addition to the loader terminal 3 and computer 10, and the number, types and functions of the other terminals and devices can be designed as appropriate.

[0019] The loader terminal 3 is the above-mentioned terminal device used by the loader 2 who actually loads the steel frame onto the loading platform of the transport vehicle. The loader terminal 3 is equipped with a CPU (Central Processing Unit), GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), etc. as a terminal control unit, and is equipped with devices, etc. as a communication unit to enable communication with other terminals, devices, etc. The loader terminal 3 includes, as an input / output unit, various devices for receiving predetermined inputs and executing input / output of various data.

[0020] The computer 10 has a server function and may be realized, for example, by a single computer, or may be realized by multiple computers, such as a cloud computer. The computer 10 has a control unit including a CPU, GPU, RAM, ROM, etc., and a communication unit including a device that enables communication with other terminals and devices, an acquisition unit that acquires a list of steel frames, and a proposal unit that proposes loading procedures for each transport vehicle. The computer 10 includes a data storage unit such as a hard disk, semiconductor memory, recording medium, or memory card as a memory unit. The computer 10 includes, as a processing unit, various devices that execute various processes, and a decision unit that determines the number and type of transport vehicles required to transport the steel frames, and the steel frames to be placed on the loading platform of the transport vehicle and their placement locations based on the three-dimensional data for each steel frame associated with the list.

[0021] In the computer 10, the control unit reads a predetermined program, and in cooperation with the communication unit, realizes the acquisition module and the proposal module. In addition, in the computer 10, the control unit reads a predetermined program and cooperates with the processing unit to realize a decision module.

[0022] Hereinafter, each process executed by the steel frame loading management system 1 will be explained together with the process executed by each of the above-mentioned modules. In this specification, each module may execute its processing content as its own function, or may execute its processing content via a predetermined application.

[0023] [Loading procedure proposal process executed by computer 10] The loading procedure proposal process executed by the computer 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. This figure is a diagram showing a flowchart of the loading procedure proposal process executed by the computer 10. This loading procedure proposal process includes details of an acquisition process (step S1) for acquiring a list of steel frames, a decision process (step S2) for determining the number and type of transport vehicles required to transport the steel frames, and the steel frames to be placed on the loading platform of the transport vehicle and their placement locations based on the three-dimensional data for each steel frame associated with the list, and a proposal process (step S3) for proposing a loading procedure for each transport vehicle.

[0024] The acquisition module acquires a list of steel frames (step S10). The list is a list of steel frames that the loader 2 intends to transport. This list is registered with linked information such as the steel frame serial number, dimensions (cm), unit weight (kg), quantity, and three-dimensional data (see Figure 4). This list may be created by the loader terminal 3 based on input by the loader 2, or it may be created in some other way (such as by creating the list in advance based on the steel frames to be transported). The acquisition module acquires this list from the loader terminal 3. The loader terminal 3 creates a list of steel frames that the loader 2 intends to transport via a predetermined UI (User Interface) by starting a predetermined application or accessing a predetermined website. The loader terminal 3 receives input of steel frame data from the loader 2, which is data related to the steel frames, such as the reference number, dimensions (cm), unit weight (kg), quantity, and three-dimensional data (three-dimensional CAD (Computer Aided Design) data, etc.), and creates a list in which the received reference number, dimensions (cm), unit weight (kg), quantity, and three-dimensional data of the steel frames are registered in association with each other. Here, the loader terminal 3 may be a device that accepts direct input of each steel frame data from the loader 2, or a device that accepts selective input of data content corresponding to each steel frame data from pre-set options, images, etc. The loader terminal 3 may create this list by executing a predetermined algorithm (acquiring images of the steel frame to be transported, analyzing the acquired images, identifying steel frame data based on the analysis results, creating a list based on the identification results, etc.), or may analyze the steel frame to be transported using a predetermined AI (artificial intelligence) (e.g., a learning model based on the learning results of steel frame data) and create this list based on the analysis results. The method by which the loader terminal 3 accepts input of steel frame data is not limited to the example described above and can be designed as appropriate. The loader terminal 3 transmits the created list to the computer 10. The acquisition module receives this list and acquires a list of steel frames.

[0025] The list of steel frames acquired by the acquisition module will be described with reference to Fig. 4. This figure is a diagram schematically showing the list of steel frames acquired by the acquisition module. In this figure, a list 20 is shown. The list 20 is a list in which the serial number, dimensions (cm), unit weight (kg), quantity and three-dimensional data of each steel frame transported by the loader 2 are registered in association with each other. The serial number is the identifier of each steel frame. The dimensions (cm) are the dimensions of each steel frame. The unit weight (kg) is the unit weight of each steel frame. The quantity is the quantity of each steel frame. The 3D data is the identifier of the 3D CAD data and the actual 3D CAD data. Note that the data content of the steel frame data registered in list 20 is not limited to the examples described above, and other data content may be added in addition to these, or only a portion of these may be included.

[0026] Returning to FIG. 3, the loading procedure proposal process will be continued. The computer 10 executes a simulation process (step S11). The computer 10 executes a simulation based on the three-dimensional data for each steel frame associated with the acquired list, and determines the number and type of transport vehicles required to transport the steel frames, and the steel frames to be placed on the loading platform of the transport vehicle and their placement locations. As a simulation process, the computer 10 executes a simulation based on a predetermined algorithm or a simulation based on a predetermined AI. Details of the content of each simulation executed by the computer 10 will be described later. The content of the simulation executed by the computer 10 is not limited to the content described below, but can be designed as appropriate.

[0027] <First Simulation Process Executed by Computer 10> The simulation process executed by the computer 10 in the process of step S11 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. This figure shows a flowchart of a first simulation process, among the simulation processes executed by the computer 10, in which the computer 10 executes a simulation based on a predetermined algorithm.

[0028] The determination module determines the number and types of transport vehicles required to transport the steel frames based on the three-dimensional data for each steel frame associated with the list (step S100). The determination module extracts the steel frame with the longest dimensions among the dimensions of each steel frame registered in the list (in the example of Figure 4, this corresponds to the steel frame with serial number "5D-3A" with dimensions of 500 x 30 x 19). The determination module determines the type of transport vehicle that will transport the steel frame, which has a loading platform longer than the length of the extracted steel frame (in the example of Figure 4, a 10-ton truck is an example of a transport vehicle with a loading platform longer than the length of the steel frame "5D-3A"). The determination module refers to a database or the like in which the types of transport vehicles available to the loader 2 are registered in advance, and determines the type of transport vehicle that meets the conditions for the extracted steel frame. The determination module calculates the product of the unit weight of each steel frame registered in the list and its quantity to calculate the total weight of all steel frames to be transported. The determination module then determines the number of transport vehicles according to the type that satisfies the calculated total weight. For example, if the calculated total weight is 25 tons and the determined type of transport vehicle is a 10-ton vehicle, the determination module determines the number of transport vehicles to be three. The decision module then determines the number and type of vehicles required to transport the steel frame as a result of these. The determination module performs this process based on the dimensions, unit weight, and quantity registered in the list, but it is also possible to configure it so that the dimensions, unit weight, and quantity are identified based on the three-dimensional data registered in the list, and then the number and type of transport vehicles are determined based on the identified dimensions, unit weight, and quantity. Although the determination module determines only one type of transport vehicle, it is also possible to configure it to determine multiple types. In this case, after determining the type based on the dimensions of the steel frame, the type can be determined so that the number of transport vehicles required is as small as possible for the most efficient transportation.

[0029] The determination module determines the steel frames to be placed on the platform of the transport vehicle and their placement locations based on the three-dimensional data for each steel frame associated with the list (step S101). The determination module determines the steel frames and their placement locations for each determined transport vehicle, so that the steel frames to be placed on the loading platform are placed in the center of the loading platform in descending order of weight (see Figures 6 and 7). The determination module sequentially determines the placement locations of the steel frames in the vertical and horizontal directions, starting with the heaviest, according to their dimensions. At this time, the determination module determines the placement locations by combining each of the individual 3D data for the steel frames so that they do not overlap, because the most efficient way to place the steel frames on a surface varies depending on the shape of the steel frames. The determination module determines the placement locations so that the distance between the centers of the combined steel frames (which may be the centers of gravity of the steel frames, not just the centers of the steel frames) is as short as possible. In addition, the determination module determines the positions of the components (front supports, stanchions, mambo, bases, rubber supports, tensioners, wire ropes, spacing materials, etc.) required when loading steel frames onto the loading platform based on the 3D data for each steel frame associated with the list.

[0030] The steel frames and their placement locations determined by the determination module will be described with reference to Fig. 6. This figure is a diagram that schematically shows the state in which the determination module has determined the steel frames and their placement locations. In this figure, the state in which steel frames 30 (30a, b) are combined is shown. When determining the placement locations of the steel frames 30a and 30b, the determination module determines the placement locations so that the length of the line segment 32 connecting the center 31a of the steel frame 30a and the center 31b of the steel frame 30b is as short as possible. In Fig. 6, the determination module determines the placement locations of the steel frames 30a and 30b so that the steel frames 30a and 30b do not overlap with each other in a state where one end 33a of the steel frame 30a contacts one end 33b of the steel frame 30b and the other end 34a of the steel frame 30a contacts the other end 34b of the steel frame 30b.

[0031] The steel beams and their placement locations determined by the determination module will be described with reference to Fig. 7. This figure is a diagram that schematically shows the state in which the determination module has determined the steel beams and their placement locations. In this figure, the state in which steel beams 40 (40a, b) are combined is shown. When determining the placement locations of steel frame 40a and steel frame 40b, the determination module determines the placement locations so that the length of line segment 42 connecting center 41a of steel frame 40a and center 41b of steel frame 40b is as short as possible. In Fig. 7, the determination module determines the placement locations of steel frame 40a and steel frame 40b so that steel frame 40a and steel frame 40b do not overlap with each other in a state where one end 43a of steel frame 40a is in contact with one end 43b of steel frame 40b.

[0032] The determination module determines the steel frames to be placed on the loading platform and their placement locations based on the combination of steel frames as shown in FIG. 6 or FIG. The determination module also determines the placement locations of components. The determination module determines the placement locations based on preset positions or predetermined rules depending on the component. For example, the determination module determines the placement locations of bases at the bottom of the steel frame, between the steel frame, and at predetermined intervals. The determination module also determines the placement locations of other components in a similar manner.

[0033] Returning to FIG. 5, the first simulation process will be continued. The decision module decides the procedure for placing each steel frame at the placement location (step S102). The decision module decides a procedure indicating the order, orientation and position in which the steel frames should be loaded onto the loading platform based on the decided placement locations of the steel frames. The decision module determines the procedure, for example, "Put two "3C-5A" steel frames back to back, line up four of the assembled frames side by side, and then place the "5D-3A" steel frame on top of them from the center, etc."

[0034] The above is the first simulation process.

[0035] <Second Simulation Process Executed by the Computer 10> Another example of the simulation process executed by the computer 10 in the process of step S11 will be described with reference to Fig. 8. This figure shows a flowchart of a second simulation process, among the simulation processes executed by the computer 10, in which the computer 10 executes a simulation based on a predetermined AI.

[0036] Before explaining the processing content, we will briefly explain the AI ​​used in the second simulation processing. The AI ​​in this embodiment was generated as a result of learning from images taken of steel beams being loaded onto a transport vehicle, or from three-dimensional data of steel beams being loaded onto a transport vehicle. When learning from images, the computer 10 acquires the images and analyzes the acquired images; when learning from three-dimensional data, the computer 10 acquires the three-dimensional data and analyzes the acquired three-dimensional data. The computer 10 performs various processes, such as identifying the type of transport vehicle based on the results of each analysis, identifying the steel beams loaded on the loading platform and their placement locations based on the results of each analysis, performing learning based on the results of each identification, generating a learning model based on the learning results, and evaluating the generated learning model, to generate an AI. The AI ​​generated by the computer 10 relates to the number and types of transport vehicles required to transport the steel beams, the steel beams and their types to be placed on the loading platform of the transport vehicle, and other components. The learning method executed by the computer 10 includes machine learning such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning, as well as deep learning using convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, long- and short-term memory, and the like. The AI ​​generation method used by the computer 10 is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and can be designed as appropriate.

[0037] The determination module determines the number and type of transport vehicles required to transport the steel frames based on the three-dimensional data for each steel frame associated with the list and AI (step S110). The decision module inputs the dimensions, unit weight, and quantity of each steel frame registered in the list into the AI, and as an output, determines the number and type of transport vehicles required to transport the steel frames. Here, the decision module may determine only one type of transport vehicle, or multiple types. In this case, after determining the type based on the dimensions of the steel frame, the type can be determined so that the number of transport vehicles required is as small as possible for the most efficient transportation. The determination module performs this process based on the dimensions, unit weight, and quantity registered in the list, but it is also possible to configure it so that the dimensions, unit weight, and quantity are identified based on the three-dimensional data registered in the list, and then the number and type of transport vehicles are determined based on the identified dimensions, unit weight, and quantity.

[0038] The determination module determines the steel frames to be placed on the platform of the transport vehicle and their placement locations based on the three-dimensional data for each steel frame associated with the list and the AI ​​(step S111). The decision module inputs the dimensions, unit weight, and quantity of the steel frame to be placed on the loading platform of each determined transport vehicle into the AI, and as an output, determines the steel frame to be placed on the loading platform of the transport vehicle and its placement location. Additionally, the decision module determines the positions of the components (front support materials, stanchions, mambo, base stock, rubber support, tensioners, wire ropes, spacing materials, etc.) required when loading the steel frames onto the loading platform based on the 3D data for each steel frame associated with the list and the AI. The decision module inputs the dimensions, unit weight and quantity of the steel frames to be placed on the loading platform for each determined transport vehicle into the AI, and as an output result, determines the positions of the components required when loading the steel frames onto the loading platform.

[0039] The decision module decides the procedure for placing each steel frame at the placement location (step S112). The decision module decides a procedure indicating the order, orientation and position in which the steel frames should be loaded onto the loading platform based on the decided placement locations of the steel frames.

[0040] The above is the second simulation process.

[0041] Returning to FIG. 3, the loading procedure proposal process will be continued. The proposal module proposes a loading procedure for each transport vehicle (step S12). The loading procedure proposed by the proposal module includes the number and type of transport vehicles determined as a result of the first or second simulation process, the steel frames to be placed on the loading platform and their locations, and the procedure for placing each steel frame at its location. Furthermore, this loading procedure may also include the locations of components required when placing the steel frames on the loading platform. The proposal module transmits the loading procedure to the loader terminal 3. The loader terminal 3 receives the loading procedure and displays it on its own display unit (see FIGS. 9 and 10). The proposal module displays the loading procedure on the loader terminal 3, thereby proposing a loading procedure for each transport vehicle. The loader 2 reviews this loading procedure and understands the number and type of transport vehicles required to transport the steel beams, the steel beams to be placed on the bed of the transport vehicle and their locations, and the procedure for placing each steel beam at its location.

[0042] The loading procedure for each transport vehicle proposed by the computer 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 9. The figure is a diagram schematically showing an example of a screen when the loading procedure is displayed on the loader terminal 3. In the figure, a screen 50 is shown. The screen 50 shows a transport vehicle column 51 showing the number and type of transport vehicles, a placement location column 52 showing the steel frame to be placed on the loading platform and its placement location, and a procedure column 53 showing the procedure for placing the steel frame on the loading platform. The type of truck that will carry the steel frame, the length of the loading platform, and the number of trucks are shown in the truck column 51. In Fig. 9, the type of truck is a "10-ton truck," the length of the loading platform of this truck is "6 m," and the number of trucks is "2." Screen 50 shows the loading procedure for one of the two trucks. The placement location column 52 shows the placement locations of the steel frames 55 (55a-h) on the loading platform 54. In Fig. 9, steel frames 55a and 55b are placed back-to-back, steel frames 55c and 55d are placed back-to-back, steel frames 55e and 55f are placed back-to-back, and steel frames 55g and 55h are placed back-to-back. Each pair is placed at equal intervals. The procedure for loading steel beams onto the loading platform is shown in the procedure column 53. In Figure 9, the procedure is shown as follows: "Put two 1:3C-5A pairs back to back, line up four 2:1 pairs horizontally, load 3:5D-3A on top from the center, ..." The loader terminal 3 receives a predetermined input (change of screen, change of display content, etc.) from the loader 2, and transitions to a screen 60 shown in FIG. 10 or a screen showing the loading procedure of another transporter. It is also possible to configure the screen 50 so that the placement location column 52 and procedure column 53 change the display mode of the procedure depending on the work status of the loader 2. For example, when a steel frame is placed at the placement location or when the work content indicated in the procedure is completed, the loader terminal 3 receives input for the corresponding work content or input of a predetermined icon (not shown), and the suggestion module changes the display mode of the work content to be performed next by the loader 2 by highlighting, adding a mark, changing the background color, underlining, adding an icon, etc.

[0043] The loading procedure for each transport vehicle proposed by the computer 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 10. The figure is a diagram showing a typical example of a screen when the loader terminal 3 displays the loading procedure. (a) is a side view of the transport vehicle with steel frames loaded, (b) is a plan view of the transport vehicle with steel frames loaded, and (c) is a rear view of the transport vehicle with steel frames loaded. In the figure, a screen 60 is shown. The side view, plan view, and rear view of the transport vehicle shown in Fig. 9 are shown on the screen 60. Screen 60 shows the state in which steel frames 62 have been placed in the determined placement locations on the side, top, and back of transport vehicle 61. Also shown is the state in which each of components 63 (front support material 63a, stanchions 63b, mambo 63c, base stock 63d, rubber pads 63e, tensioners 63f, wire ropes 63g, and spacers 63h) has been placed in the determined placement locations. The loader terminal 3 receives a predetermined input (change of screen, change of display content, etc.) from the loader 2, and transitions to a screen 50 shown in FIG. 9 or a side view, plan view, or rear view of another transporter. It is also possible to configure the screen 60 so that the steel frame 62 and the members 63 are displayed in a different manner. For example, the steel frame 62 can be highlighted, marked, the background color changed, an icon added, or the like, to change the display manner.
