Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a system for registering construction company data of a construction cooperation association and for compiling report data of construction patrol work. [Background technology]
[0002] A construction cooperation association is an organization formed to enable general contractors and construction companies to work together to carry out safe, high-quality construction work. For prime contractors, contractors who participate in construction cooperation associations are recognized as trustworthy contractors, allowing them to place stable construction orders. Construction cooperation associations are also important organizations in the construction industry, as they enable them to strengthen cooperation with contractors, shorten construction periods and reduce costs, exchange information with other contractors, and receive technical training.
[0003] As part of its duties, the Construction Cooperation Association is required to patrol and inspect the work of participating construction companies at construction sites. This patrol work involves member companies of the Construction Cooperation Association working together to check the safety and quality of construction sites. The purpose of the patrols is to ensure safety at construction sites, improve construction quality, and strengthen cooperation between member companies of the construction cooperation association. The patrols cover the installation status of safety equipment, whether workers are wearing safety harnesses, the hygiene of the work environment, the appropriateness of construction methods, and the status of the quality control system. If any problems are discovered as a result of this patrol, the contractor will be given guidance on how to improve, and the results of the patrol will be reported at the general meeting of the construction cooperation association, and used as points for improvement in future activities. The patrols are carried out by experienced patrol instructors, such as safety and health managers and quality control managers from member companies of the construction cooperation association. Patrols are carried out about once a month, but more frequently at sites where particularly dangerous work is being carried out. The construction cooperation association's patrol work plays a very important role in improving safety and quality at construction sites.
[0004] The construction cooperation association's patrol work is an effective means for the prime contractor and the construction company to cooperate in safety measures, and has many benefits. For example, it improves safety at construction sites, improves construction quality, strengthens cooperation between the construction cooperation association's member companies, increases the trust of general contractors, strengthens guidance and supervision of construction companies, and strengthens risk management.
[0005] However, in recent years, there have been a series of serious accidents at construction sites, and there is a need for the entire industry to strengthen safety measures. As a solution to this problem, there are calls for strengthening the construction cooperation association's patrol operations and for further cooperation from the companies participating in the association. However, there are problems with this patrol operation, such as the time and effort required for patrols, the need for personnel to carry out the patrols, and the time and cost required to correct problems when they are discovered, so there is a need for ways to improve these problems.
[0006] The results of this patrol work are reported by the contractor in writing to the general contractor, who then compiles the results into reports and creates a patrol summary sheet. When creating patrol summary tables, the data is often compiled using compilation software, but there are problems such as the construction company name being written inconsistently, the name of the person in charge being incorrect, or the official site name being unknown, resulting in duplicate data and the need for confirmation and correction work. No rational method has been developed to solve this problem and easily create compilation data for construction cooperation associations.
[0007] In the above technical field, Patent Document 1 discloses a document preparation support program and a document preparation support method for supporting the preparation of documents to be submitted in connection with construction work. However, this does not include data collection for patrol work by construction cooperation associations. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-082853 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0009] The data collected by the construction cooperation association's patrol work must contain detailed information without any errors. The data collection and compilation of this patrol work data must be done through an online system that reduces the time and improves the understanding of the content for both the main contractor and the construction company staff.
[0010] The object of the present invention is to provide a technology for aggregating data on construction cooperation association patrol operations using a web server, cloud server, and various terminals that solves the above-mentioned problems. [Means for solving the problem]
[0011] Information regarding the compilation of construction cooperation association data is managed through an integrated system that includes a web server, cloud server, and various terminals. The various terminals are portable information terminals operated by the prime contractor and construction company personnel. Information regarding the construction cooperation association data collection is stored and operated on a cloud server. [Effects of the Invention]
[0012] According to the present invention, an efficient construction cooperation association data compilation system and method can be provided by accurately inputting data for construction cooperation association patrol work between construction shop staff and prime contractor staff in a short period of time. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0013] [Figure 1] Network diagram of the present invention [Figure 2] Flowchart for construction shop staff [Figure 3] Flowchart for prime contractor personnel [Figure 4] Example of screen layout for contractor account registration [Figure 5]Screen configuration example for entering contractor patrol data [Figure 6] Example of screen layout for contractor's cooperative association data collection [Figure 7] Screen configuration example for correcting aggregate data for a prime contractor DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] Hereinafter, a construction cooperation association data collection system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a construction cooperation association data collection system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the construction cooperation association data collection system includes, for example, a prime contractor staff terminal 10, a construction shop staff terminal 20, a web server 30, and a cloud server DB 40. The prime contractor's person in charge terminal 10 is a terminal used by the prime contractor of the construction cooperation association. The installer terminal 20 is a terminal used by the installer.
[0015] The prime contractor's staff terminal 10 and the contractor's staff terminal 20 may be a smartphone or the like. The web server and cloud server DB40 are realized by a server operated by the operator of the construction cooperation association data collection system.
[0016] The web server 30 is accessed from the prime contractor's staff terminal 10 and the contractor's staff terminal 20 via a network.
[0017] The web server 30 accesses the cloud server DB 40 and acquires from the cloud server DB 40 information corresponding to the display requests from the prime contractor's staff terminal 10 and the construction shop's staff terminal 20 .
[0018] The patrol summary data is written to the cloud server DB40 by both the prime contractor and the construction company.
[0019] The present invention is implemented by inputting patrol data into a patrol check sheet online for the purpose of aggregating patrol data from construction cooperation associations. This eliminates the need for conventional paper-based patrol data summary sheets, enabling accurate and prompt compilation of construction cooperation association data.
[0020] The patrol checklist requires the input of the date and time of the employer's patrol, the site name, branch name (area), division name, construction company name, name of the person in charge, the work to be done on that day, the name of the site manager, whether the site manager will be on site, the number of the company's own workers, the number of secondary workers, the number of tertiary workers, whether health checks for workers will be conducted, etc.
[0021] The following explanation is based on generalized terminology. The terminal is preferably a mobile terminal, and can be a smartphone, PC, or other device. The terminal has a means (function) to send and receive the patrol summary data (including various data below). For example, the terminal can be used to authenticate the person operating the terminal (primary contractor's staff and construction company staff), and to check items that need to be confirmed, such as patrol summary tables, by sending and receiving them mutually.
[0022] As a specific example, it is applied to check the construction company's personnel, and the attributes of the construction company (company name, person in charge name, company information, etc.) are authenticated. The patrol summary data is sent to and stored on a server (hereinafter including the cloud) by the prime contractor's personnel. The ID and password generated by the prime contractor's personnel are registered by each person and used as login information for accessing the system.
[0023] The name of the construction project is required as part of the patrol data, but since construction names are often temporary or change in the early stages of construction, there are many input errors when manually entering the name of the construction project into the patrol checklist. One way to solve this problem is to take a photo of the construction sign with a smartphone or other device, and use artificial intelligence (AI) image analysis functions to generate text information such as the name of the construction project from the construction sign photo data, and store this in a database.
[0024] The system can also be equipped with a function to check for duplicate registration of text information such as construction company information and project name entered into the patrol checklist with registered data such as construction company name, and to display a warning if there is a possibility of duplicate registration.
[0025] The web server (including the cloud) creates a patrol summary table based on the uploaded patrol summary data. The created patrol summary table can also be sent by email to any person in charge at the primary contractor.
[0026] Patrol summary data can be checked at any time on a smartphone (mobile device), reducing the time required to understand and check the patrol summary table.
[0027] By viewing the patrol data summary table on an input device such as a smartphone, users can input, edit, and check the patrol data summary table over the network. By linking this system with printing devices such as multifunction devices, copiers, and printers, uploaded documents (PDF, etc.) can be printed. [Industrial Applicability]
[0028] By using a network in the construction cooperation association data collection system, it is possible to freely access patrol data, save time, and prevent problems caused by misunderstandings in the collected information. Furthermore, although the present invention is a system for compiling patrol data for construction cooperation associations, it may be applicable to creating compiled data for projects involving dozens or even hundreds of other companies.
