[0018] (Embodiment) An example of an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. The same or equivalent components and parts in each drawing are designated by the same reference numerals. The dimensional proportions in the drawings are exaggerated for the sake of explanation and may differ from the actual proportions.
[0019] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of an aircraft tire management system 10 according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, an aircraft tire management system 10 according to this embodiment includes a server 20, a production organization 30, a customer organization (MRO: Maintenance Repair Overhaul) 40, and a customer organization (airline company) 50. The server 20, the production organization 30, the customer organization (MRO) 40, and the customer organization (airline company) 50 are connected via a network N. This network N may be, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), the Internet, or the like. Here, in this embodiment, the server 20 is an example of an aircraft tire management device.
[0020] The production organization 30 is a tire manufacturer that produces aircraft tires T. Furthermore, workers at the production organization 30 use mobile terminals 60, 61 to acquire identification information and the like of the aircraft tires T, which will be described later.
[0021] The customer organization (MRO) 40 is an example of a customer organization, and is an organization that repairs, inspects, and maintains aircraft tires T. For example, it performs rim assembly of aircraft tires T and wheels W. The customer organization (airline company) 50 is an example of a customer organization, and is an organization that installs aircraft tires T on aircraft and uses them. Note that the customer organization is not limited to the customer organization (MRO) 40 and the customer organization (airline company) 50, and may include other organizations, for example, agencies and logistics companies for aircraft tires T. Furthermore, workers at the customer organization (MRO) 40 and the customer organization (airline company) 50 use mobile terminals 62, 63 to obtain identification information of the aircraft tires T, which will be described later.
[0022] In addition, mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, and 63 used by workers at each organization (production organization 30, client organization (MRO) 40, and client organization (airline) 50) can communicate with the server 20 via a computer (not shown) installed at each organization or without the use of a computer (not shown) installed at each organization, and transmit acquired information to the server 20. In addition, the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, and 63 are devices that can be carried by the workers, such as smartphones. In addition, the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, and 63 can acquire date and time information when the information was acquired. In addition, the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, and 63 can acquire location information of the location where the information was acquired using a GPS (Global Positioning System) or pre-registered location information of the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, and 63.
[0023] (server) 1 shows a server 20 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The server 20 receives identification information and status information of aircraft tires T and manages tracking and delivery of the aircraft tires T by executing a processing program 100, which will be described later.
[0024] The server 20 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 20A, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 20B, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 20C, a storage 20D, an input / output I / F (Interface) 20E, and a communication unit 20F. The CPU 20A, ROM 20B, RAM 20C, storage 20D, input / output I / F 20E, and communication unit 20F are connected to each other via a bus 20G so as to be able to communicate with each other.
[0025] The CPU 20A is a central processing unit that executes various programs and controls each part. That is, the CPU 20A reads a program from the ROM 20B or the storage 20D and executes the program using the RAM 20C as a working area.
[0026] The ROM 20B stores various programs and various data. The RAM 20C temporarily stores programs or data as a working area.
[0027] The storage 20D is configured by an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive), and stores various programs and various data. As shown in Fig. 2, the storage 20D of this embodiment stores a processing program 100, static data 110, and dynamic data 120. As will be described later, the static data 110 and dynamic data 120 store identification information and status information received by the receiving unit 200. The storage 20D is also an example of a memory unit. The processing program 100, static data 110, and dynamic data 120 may be stored in the ROM 20B.
[0028] The processing program 100 is an example of an aircraft tire management program, and is a program for realizing each function of the server 20.
[0029] The static data 110 stores identification information of aircraft tires T, such as a tire ID, tire size, and serial number. The tire ID is an arbitrary number assigned to each aircraft tire T, and the serial number is a number stamped on the aircraft tire T. The identification information of the aircraft tires T is not limited to the tire ID, tire size, and serial number, and may be anything that can identify the aircraft tires T. The identification information of the aircraft tires T may be acquired by reading a two-dimensional code or RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) attached to the aircraft tire T with the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, and 63, or may be acquired by an operator reading characters stamped on the aircraft tire T and inputting the characters using the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, and 63. The identification information of the aircraft tires T may be referred to as a tire ID hereinafter.
[0030] The dynamic data 120 stores status information including location information or delivery status of the aircraft tires T. The location information of the aircraft tires T is acquired using the GPS of the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, 63 that have acquired the identification information, or the location information of the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, 63 that have been registered in advance.
[0031] 1, the input / output I / F 20E is an interface for communicating with the input device 22 and the display device 24. The input device 22 and the display device 24 may be directly connected to the bus 20G.
[0032] The communication unit 20F is an interface capable of communicating with a production organization 30 that produces aircraft tires and a plurality of customer organizations (customer organizations (MRO) 40 and customer organizations (airline companies) 50) that are customers of the aircraft tires produced by the production organization 30. For example, the communication unit 20F is connected to a network N.
[0033] The input device 22 is an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse. The display device 24 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display.
[0034] Next, the functional configuration of the server 20 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, in the server 20 of this embodiment, a CPU 20A executes a processing program 100 to function as a reception unit 200, an information processing unit 210, and an output unit 220.
[0035] The receiving unit 200 has a function of receiving, via the communication unit 20F, identification information of the aircraft tire T, and status information including location information or delivery status of the aircraft tire T. Specifically, the receiving unit 200 receives the information from the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, and 63.
[0036] The information processing unit 210 stores in the storage 20D the identification information of the aircraft tire T received by the receiving unit 200 and status information including the location information or delivery status of the aircraft tire T. Furthermore, when the receiving unit 200 receives status information, it updates the status information stored in the storage 20D.
[0037] Furthermore, the information processing unit 210 associates a delivery ID with one or more pieces of identification information acquired by the production organization 30, the customer organization (MRO) 40, or the customer organization (airline company) 50 that dispatches the aircraft tire T. Furthermore, the information processing unit 210 verifies whether or not the delivery ID has been acquired by the production organization or the customer organization that receives the aircraft tire. Furthermore, when at least a part of the identification information to which the same delivery ID is set is not acquired by the production organization 30, the customer organization (MRO) 40, or the customer organization (airline company) 50 that receives the aircraft tire T, the information processing unit 210 identifies the aircraft tire T with the identification information that has not been acquired.
[0038] The output unit 220 is capable of outputting identification information and status information of the aircraft tire T. For example, when the delivery status of the aircraft tire T is confirmed or a certificate of conformity, which will be described later, is displayed by operation from each organization (the production organization 30, the customer organization (MRO) 40, or the customer organization (airline company) 50), the output unit 220 displays the delivery status, the certificate of conformity, etc. on the display of a computer installed in each organization.
[0039] Furthermore, the output unit 220 can output the results of the verification performed by the information processing unit 210.
[0040] Next, the processing flow of the aircraft tire management system 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in Fig. 4, the production organization 30 has a factory 31 and a warehouse 32. In step S101, the production organization 30 produces aircraft tires T in the factory 31. An operator of the production organization 30 transmits identification information of the aircraft tires T produced in the factory 31 to the server 20 using a mobile terminal 60 or the like. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information of the aircraft tires T as static data 110.
[0041] Next, in step S102, the aircraft tire T produced in the factory 31 is shipped from the factory 31 to the warehouse 32 (arrow L1 in FIG. 4) and stored. When the aircraft tire T is shipped from the factory 31 to the warehouse 32, a worker acquires the identification information of the aircraft tire T using a mobile terminal 60 set to a state in which the identification information of the aircraft tire T to be shipped can be read. At this time, the mobile terminal 60 acquires location information and date and time information from which the identification information was acquired. Then, the worker transmits the identification information, location information, and date and time information acquired using the mobile terminal 60 to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information, location information, and date and time information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120, as shown in "No. 01" in FIG. 5(a). Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 associates a delivery ID with one or more pieces of identification information acquired in the factory 31 that ships the aircraft tire T. For example, as shown in Fig. 6, one delivery ID is set for each container that stores 50 aircraft tires T. The delivery ID also includes information such as the delivery destination.
[0042] Note that the method of reading the identification information is not limited to using the portable terminal 60 set to a state for reading the identification information of the aircraft tire T to be shipped. The server 20 may also determine whether the aircraft tire T is an arrival or a shipment based on the number of times the server 20 receives identification information with the same location information. That is, the server 20 may determine that the aircraft tire T is an arrival when the identification number is received for the first time from the factory 31, and that the aircraft tire T is an arrival when the same identification information is received for the second time. As will be described later, in the case where the location information is from the warehouse 32, the customer organization (MRO) 40, or the customer organization (airline) 50, the server 20 may determine that the aircraft tire T is an arrival when the identification information is received for the first time, and that the aircraft tire T is a shipment when the same identification information is received for the second time. This allows the worker to read the identification number without changing the state of the portable terminal 60, 61, 62, 63, simplifying the work and preventing mistakes.
[0043] Next, in step S103, when the aircraft tires T are delivered from the factory 31 to the warehouse 32, a worker at the warehouse 32 uses the mobile terminal 61 to read the delivery IDs delivered from the factory 31 to the warehouse 32 and transmits the read delivery IDs to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the delivery IDs as dynamic data 120. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then verifies whether all of the delivery IDs shipped from the factory 31 to the warehouse 32 have been read. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the result of the examination, for example, by displaying it on the display device 24 or by notifying the factory 31, which is the shipping side of the aircraft tires T, or the warehouse 32, which is the receiving side, by email or the like. If there are any delivery IDs that have not been read, the CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies the delivery IDs that were shipped from the factory 31 but not read, and checks the delivery status, such as whether the identified delivery IDs have been read by an institution other than the warehouse 32, which is the receiving side. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 outputs the confirmation result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies it by email or the like to the factory 31 that is the shipping side of the aircraft tires T and the warehouse 32 that is the receiving side.
[0044] Furthermore, in step S103, the worker at the warehouse 32 who has received the aircraft tire T uses the mobile terminal 61 to read the identification information of the received aircraft tire T and transmits it to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information, location information, and date and time information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120, as shown by "No. 02" in FIG. 5(a). The CPU 20A of the server 20 verifies whether all of the identification information of the aircraft tire T that has been shipped from the factory 31 and to which the same delivery ID is set has been read at the warehouse 32. In other words, it confirms whether all of the aircraft tires T that have been shipped with the same delivery ID set have been received. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 outputs the examination result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the factory 31 that is the shipping side of the aircraft tire T and the warehouse 32 that is the receiving side of the aircraft tire T by email or the like. Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies identification information that was shipped from the factory 31 but not read, and checks the delivery status, such as whether the identified identification information was read by any institution other than the warehouse 32, which is the receiving side. As will be described later, a worker also checks whether the two-dimensional code or RFID tag affixed to the aircraft tire T has peeled off, preventing the identification information from being read. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the check result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the factory 31, which is the shipping side of the aircraft tire T, or the warehouse 32, which is the receiving side, by email or the like.
[0045] Furthermore, when reading the identification information, the mobile terminal 61 acquires the location information and date and time information from which the identification information was acquired. Then, the worker transmits the location information and date and time information acquired using the mobile terminal 61 to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the location information and date and time information as dynamic data 120 in association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T.
[0046] Furthermore, if an abnormality is found in an aircraft tire T, for example, if a two-dimensional code or RFID tag affixed to the aircraft tire T has peeled off or if the aircraft tire T has been damaged, the worker at the warehouse 32 uses the mobile terminal 61 set to a state in which an abnormality is selected to read the identification information of the aircraft tire T having the abnormality, and transmits the information to the server 20. Here, if the two-dimensional code or RFID tag affixed to the aircraft tire T has peeled off, the identification information is obtained by reading the serial number using the mobile terminal 61, or by the worker inputting the serial number into the terminal 61. The CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies the aircraft tire T having the abnormality from the received identification information, and outputs a response such as reshipping an equivalent product from the factory 31. Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 associates the aircraft tire T having the abnormality with the identification information of the aircraft tire T, and stores the association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120. If an abnormality is found in the aircraft tire T, a photograph may be taken using a camera provided in the mobile terminal 61 or a camera other than the mobile terminal 61, and the photograph may be transmitted to the server 20. By transmitting the photograph, it becomes easier to grasp the condition of the aircraft tire T having the abnormality, and it becomes possible to quickly determine whether to reship an equivalent product from the factory 31, or to take measures such as reconsidering delivery. Furthermore, such a photograph is stored as dynamic data 120 in association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T having the abnormality.
[0047] Next, in step S104, the production organization 30 ships the aircraft tire T from the warehouse 32 in response to a request from the customer organization (MRO) 40 (arrow L2 in FIG. 4). When the aircraft tire T is shipped from the warehouse 32 to the customer organization (MRO) 40, an operator acquires identification information of the aircraft tire T using a mobile terminal 61 set to a state in which the identification information of the aircraft tire T to be shipped can be read. At this time, the mobile terminal 61 acquires location information and date and time information at which the identification information was acquired. Then, the operator transmits the identification information, location information, and date and time information acquired using the mobile terminal 61 to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information, location information, and date and time information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120, as shown in "No. 03" in FIG. 5(a). Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 associates a delivery ID with one or more pieces of identification information acquired at the factory 31 from which the aircraft tire T is shipped. For example, one delivery ID is set for each container that stores 50 aircraft tires T. The delivery ID also includes information about the delivery destination.
[0048] Next, in step S105, when the aircraft tire T is delivered from the warehouse 32 to the customer institution (MRO) 40, a worker at the customer institution (MRO) 40 uses the mobile terminal 62 to read the delivery ID delivered from the warehouse 32 to the customer institution (MRO) 40, and transmits it to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the delivery ID as dynamic data 120. The server 20 then verifies whether all of the delivery IDs shipped from the warehouse 32 to the customer institution (MRO) 40 have been read. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the examination result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the warehouse 32, which is the shipper of the aircraft tire T, and the customer institution (MRO) 40, which is the receiver, by email or the like. Furthermore, if there is a delivery ID that was not read, the CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies the delivery ID that was shipped from the warehouse 32 but not read, and checks the delivery status, such as whether the identified delivery ID was read by an institution other than the customer institution (MRO) 40 that is the receiving side. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 outputs the confirmation result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the warehouse 32 that is the shipping side of the aircraft tire T and the customer institution (MRO) 40 that is the receiving side by email or the like.
[0049] Furthermore, in step S105, a worker at the customer organization (MRO) 40 who has received the aircraft tire T uses the mobile terminal 62 to read the identification information of the received aircraft tire T and transmits it to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information, location information, and date and time information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120, as shown by "No. 04" in FIG. 5(a). The CPU 20A of the server 20 verifies whether all of the identification information of the aircraft tire T that has been shipped from the warehouse 32 and to which the same delivery ID is set has been read by the customer organization (MRO) 40. In other words, it confirms whether all of the aircraft tires T that have been shipped with the same delivery ID set have been received. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the examination result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the warehouse 32 that is the shipper of the aircraft tire T and the customer organization (MRO) 40 that is the receiver of the aircraft tire T by email or the like. Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies identification information that was shipped from the warehouse 32 but not read, and checks the delivery status, such as whether the identified identification information was read by an organization other than the customer organization (MRO) 40, which is the receiving side. As will be described later, a worker checks whether the two-dimensional code or RFID tag affixed to the aircraft tire T has peeled off, preventing the identification information from being read. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the check result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the warehouse 32, which is the shipping side of the aircraft tire T, or the customer organization (MRO) 40, which is the receiving side, by email or the like. Furthermore, for the identification information that was not read, the CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the delivery status as "not detected," as shown in "No. 04" in FIG. 5(b).
[0050] Furthermore, when reading the identification information, the portable terminal 62 acquires the location information and date and time information from which the identification information was acquired. Then, the worker transmits the location information and date and time information acquired using the portable terminal 62 to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the location information and date and time information as dynamic data 120 in association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T.
[0051] Furthermore, if an abnormality is found in an aircraft tire T, for example, if a two-dimensional code or RFID tag attached to the aircraft tire T is peeled off or if the aircraft tire T is damaged, the worker at the customer organization (MRO) 40 uses the mobile terminal 62 set to a state where an abnormality is selected to read the identification information of the aircraft tire T having the abnormality, and transmits the information to the server 20. Here, if the two-dimensional code or RFID tag attached to the aircraft tire T is peeled off, the identification information is obtained by reading the serial number using the mobile terminal 62, or by the worker inputting the serial number into the terminal 62. The CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies the aircraft tire T having the abnormality from the received identification information, and outputs a response such as reshipping an equivalent product from the factory 31. Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 associates the aircraft tire T having the abnormality with the identification information of the aircraft tire T, and stores the association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120. If an abnormality is found in the aircraft tire T, a photograph may be taken using a camera provided in the mobile terminal 62 or a camera other than the mobile terminal 62, and the photograph may be transmitted to the server 20. By transmitting the photograph, it becomes easier to grasp the condition of the aircraft tire T having the abnormality, and it becomes possible to quickly determine whether to reship an equivalent product from the factory 31, or to take measures such as reconsidering delivery. Furthermore, such a photograph is stored as dynamic data 120 in association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T having the abnormality.
[0052] Next, in step S106, the customer organization (MRO) 40 mounts a wheel W on the aircraft tire T (rim assembly). Then, in step S107, in response to a request from the customer organization (airline company) 50, the aircraft tire T with the wheel W is shipped (arrow L3 in FIG. 4). When the aircraft tire T is shipped from the customer organization (MRO) 40 to the customer organization (airline company) 50, an operator acquires identification information of the aircraft tire T using a mobile terminal 62 set to a state in which the identification information of the aircraft tire T to be shipped can be read. At this time, the mobile terminal 62 acquires location information and date and time information at which the identification information was acquired. Then, the operator transmits the identification information, location information, and date and time information acquired using the mobile terminal 62 to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information, location information, and date and time information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120, as shown in "No. 05" in FIG. 5(a). Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 associates a delivery ID with one or more pieces of identification information acquired by the customer organization (MRO) 40 that dispatches the aircraft tires T. For example, one delivery ID is set for each container that accommodates 50 aircraft tires T. Furthermore, the delivery ID includes information such as the delivery destination.
[0053] Next, in step S108, when the aircraft tire T is delivered from the customer institution (MRO) 40 to the customer institution (airline) 50, a worker at the customer institution (airline) 50 uses the mobile terminal 63 to read the delivery ID delivered from the customer institution (MRO) 40 to the customer institution (airline) 50, and transmits it to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the delivery ID as dynamic data 120. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 verifies whether all of the delivery IDs shipped from the customer institution (MRO) 40 to the customer institution (airline) 50 have been read. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the examination result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the customer institution (MRO) 40, which is the shipper of the aircraft tire T, and the customer institution (airline) 50, which is the receiver, by email or the like. Furthermore, if there is a delivery ID that was not read, the CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies the delivery ID that was shipped from the customer institution (MRO) but not read, and checks the delivery status, such as whether the identified delivery ID was read by an institution other than the receiving institution, the customer institution (airline) 50. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 outputs the confirmation result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the customer institution (MRO) 40 that is the shipping side of the aircraft tire T and the customer institution (airline) 50 that is the receiving side by email or the like.
[0054] Furthermore, in step S108, the worker of the customer institution (airline company) 50 who has received the aircraft tire T uses the mobile terminal 63 to read the identification information of the received aircraft tire T and transmits it to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information, location information, and date and time information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120, as shown in "No. 06" in FIG. 5(a). The CPU 20A of the server 20 verifies whether all of the identification information shipped from the customer institution (MRO) 40 and for which the same delivery ID is set has been read by the customer institution (airline company) 50. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 outputs the examination result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the customer institution (MRO) 40, which is the shipper of the aircraft tire T, and the customer institution (airline company) 50, which is the receiver, of the aircraft tire T, by email or the like. The server 20 also identifies identification information that was shipped from the customer organization (MRO) 40 but not read, and checks the delivery status, such as whether the identified identification information was read by an organization other than the customer organization (airline) 50 that is the receiving side. As will be described later, a worker also checks whether the two-dimensional code or RFID tag affixed to the aircraft tire T has peeled off, preventing the identification information from being read. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the confirmation result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the customer organization (MRO) 40 that is the shipping side of the aircraft tire T and the customer organization (airline) 50 that is the receiving side by email or the like.
[0055] Furthermore, when reading the identification information, the mobile terminal 63 acquires the location information and date and time information from which the identification information was acquired. Then, the worker transmits the location information and date and time information acquired using the mobile terminal 63 to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the location information and date and time information as dynamic data 120 in association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T.
[0056] Furthermore, if an abnormality is found in an aircraft tire T, for example, if a two-dimensional code or RFID tag affixed to the aircraft tire T is peeled off or if the aircraft tire T is damaged, the worker at the client organization (airline company) 50 uses the mobile terminal 63 set to a state in which an abnormality is selected to read the identification information of the aircraft tire T having the abnormality, and transmits the information to the server 20. Here, if the two-dimensional code or RFID tag affixed to the aircraft tire T is peeled off, the identification information is obtained by reading the serial number using the mobile terminal 63, or by the worker inputting the serial number into the terminal 63. The CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies the aircraft tire T having the abnormality from the received identification information, and outputs a response such as reshipping an equivalent product from the factory 31. Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 associates the aircraft tire T having the abnormality with the identification information of the aircraft tire T, and stores the association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120. If an abnormality is found in the aircraft tire T, a photograph may be taken using a camera provided in the mobile terminal 63 or a camera other than the mobile terminal 63, and the photograph may be transmitted to the server 20. By transmitting the photograph, it becomes easier to grasp the condition of the aircraft tire T having the abnormality, and it becomes possible to quickly determine whether to reship an equivalent product from the factory 31, or to take measures such as reconsidering delivery. Furthermore, such a photograph is stored as dynamic data 120 in association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T having the abnormality.
[0057] Next, in step S109, the customer institution (airline company) 50 mounts the aircraft tire T on the fuselage of the aircraft. Then, the aircraft tire T is used until it wears out. In step S200, after the aircraft tire T has worn out, the customer institution (airline company) 50 unloads the aircraft tire T from the fuselage of the aircraft. In step S201, the aircraft tire T for recovery is shipped to the customer institution (MRO) 40 (arrow L4 in FIG. 4). When the aircraft tire T is shipped from the customer institution (airline company) 50 to the customer institution (MRO) 40, a worker acquires identification information of the aircraft tire T using a mobile terminal 63 set to a state for reading identification information of the aircraft tire T to be shipped. Furthermore, if the two-dimensional code or RFID tag affixed to the aircraft tire T to be recovered has peeled off, the serial number is read using the mobile terminal 63, or the worker acquires the identification information by inputting the serial number into the terminal 63. At this time, the mobile terminal 63 acquires location information and date and time information at which the identification information was acquired. Then, the worker transmits the acquired identification information, location information, and date and time information to the server 20 using the mobile terminal 63. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information, location information, and date and time information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120, as shown in "No. 07" in FIG. 5(a). Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 associates and sets a delivery ID with one or more pieces of identification information acquired by the customer institution (airline company) 50 that ships the aircraft tire T. For example, one delivery ID is set for each container that holds 50 aircraft tires T. Furthermore, the delivery ID includes information such as the delivery destination.
[0058] Furthermore, a worker at the customer organization (airline company) 50 may read the identification information of the aircraft tire T using the mobile terminal 63, and then input wear information of the aircraft tire T to be recovered, such as information measured using a gauge or the like, and transmit the information to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the wear information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120 in association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T to be recovered from the customer organization (airline company) 50. This makes it possible, for example, to perform machine learning on the relationship between the aircraft's flight history and the remaining tread depth, thereby predicting the remaining tread depth from the flight history and issuing a warning. Furthermore, by making it possible to obtain wear information before the aircraft tire T is recovered at the factory 31, it becomes possible for the production organization 30 to provide the customer organization (airline company) 50 with feedback, such as a report on the wear of the aircraft tire T, more quickly.
[0059] Furthermore, the server 20 may notify the production organization 30 (the factory 31 and the warehouse 32) by email or the like of the date and time information at which the identification information of the aircraft tire T for collection was acquired. This allows the production organization 30 to know the collection time of the aircraft tire T before the aircraft tire T for collection arrives, making it easier to prepare the factory 31 and make a production plan for the aircraft tire T.
[0060] Next, in step S202, when the aircraft tire T is delivered from the customer institution (airline) 50 to the customer institution (MRO) 40, a worker at the customer institution (MRO) 40 uses the mobile terminal 62 to read the delivery ID delivered from the customer institution (airline) 50 to the customer institution (MRO) 40, and transmits the delivery ID to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the delivery ID as dynamic data 120. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then verifies whether all of the delivery IDs shipped from the customer institution (airline) 50 to the customer institution (MRO) 40 have been read. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the examination result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the customer institution (airline) 50, which is the shipper of the aircraft tire T, and the customer institution (MRO) 40, which is the receiver, by email or the like. Furthermore, if there is a delivery ID that was not read, the CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies the delivery ID that was shipped from the customer institution (airline company) but not read, and checks the delivery status, such as whether the identified delivery ID was read by an institution other than the receiving institution, the customer institution (MRO) 40. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 outputs the confirmation result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the customer institution (airline company) 50 that is the shipping side of the aircraft tire T and the customer institution (MRO) 40 that is the receiving side by email or the like.
[0061] Furthermore, in step S202, a worker at the customer institution (MRO) 40 who has received the aircraft tire T uses the mobile terminal 62 to read the identification information of the received aircraft tire T and transmits it to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information, location information, and date and time information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120, as shown by "No. 08" in FIG. 5(a). The CPU 20A of the server 20 verifies whether all of the identification information shipped from the customer institution (airline company) 50 and for which the same delivery ID is set has been read by the customer institution (MRO) 40. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the examination result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the customer institution (airline company) 50, which is the shipper of the aircraft tire T, and the customer institution (MRO) 40, which is the receiver, of the aircraft tire T, by email or the like. Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies identification information that was shipped from the customer institution (airline company) 50 but not read, and checks the delivery status, such as whether the identified identification information was read by an institution other than the customer institution (MRO) 40, which is the receiving party. As will be described later, a worker also checks whether the two-dimensional code or RFID tag affixed to the aircraft tire T has peeled off, preventing the identification information from being read. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the confirmation result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the customer institution (airline company) 50, which is the sending party of the aircraft tire T, and the customer institution (MRO) 40, which is the receiving party, by email or the like.
[0062] Furthermore, when reading the identification information, the portable terminal 62 acquires the location information and date and time information from which the identification information was acquired. Then, the worker transmits the location information and date and time information acquired using the portable terminal 62 to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the location information and date and time information as dynamic data 120 in association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T.
[0063] Furthermore, if an abnormality is found in the aircraft tire T, for example, if a two-dimensional code or RFID tag attached to the aircraft tire T has peeled off, the worker at the client organization (MRO) 40 uses the mobile terminal 62 set to a state for selecting an abnormality to read the identification information of the aircraft tire T having the abnormality, and transmits the information to the server 20. Here, if the two-dimensional code or RFID tag attached to the aircraft tire T has peeled off, the identification information is obtained by reading the serial number using the mobile terminal 62, or by the worker inputting the serial number into the terminal 62. The CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies the aircraft tire T having the abnormality from the received identification information. Furthermore, the server 20 associates the aircraft tire T having the abnormality with the identification information of the aircraft tire T, and stores the same as the dynamic data 120.
[0064] Next, in step S203, the customer organization (MRO) 40 that has received the aircraft tire T for recovery removes the wheel W from the aircraft tire T (rim removal). Then, in step S204, the customer organization (MRO) 40 ships the aircraft tire T for recovery to the warehouse 32 (arrow L5 in FIG. 4). When the aircraft tire T is shipped from the customer organization (MRO) 40 to the warehouse 32, an operator acquires identification information of the aircraft tire T using a mobile terminal 62 that has been set to a state that reads identification information of the aircraft tire T to be shipped. At this time, the mobile terminal 62 acquires location information and date and time information at which the identification information was acquired. Then, the operator transmits the identification information, location information, and date and time information acquired using the mobile terminal 62 to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information, location information, and date and time information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120, as shown in "No. 09" in FIG. 5(a). Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 associates a delivery ID with one or more pieces of identification information acquired by the customer organization (MRO) 40 that dispatches the aircraft tires T. For example, one delivery ID is set for each container that accommodates 50 aircraft tires T. Furthermore, the delivery ID includes information such as the delivery destination.
[0065] Next, in step S205, when the aircraft tire T is delivered to the warehouse 32 from the customer institution (MRO) 40, a worker at the warehouse 32 uses the mobile terminal 61 to read the delivery ID delivered to the warehouse 32 from the customer institution (MRO) 40, and transmits it to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the delivery ID as dynamic data 120. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 verifies whether all of the delivery IDs shipped from the customer institution (MRO) 40 to the warehouse 32 have been read. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 outputs the examination result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the customer institution (MRO) 40, which is the shipper of the aircraft tire T, and the warehouse 32, which is the receiver, by email or the like. Furthermore, if there is a delivery ID that has not been read, the CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies the delivery ID that was shipped from the customer organization (MRO) but not read, and checks the delivery status, such as whether the identified delivery ID has been read by an organization other than the warehouse 32 that is the receiving side. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 outputs the confirmation result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the customer organization (MRO) 40 that is the shipping side of the aircraft tires T and the warehouse 32 that is the receiving side by email or the like.
[0066] In step S205, the worker at the warehouse 32 who received the aircraft tire T uses the mobile terminal 61 to read the identification information of the received aircraft tire T and transmits it to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information, location information, and date and time information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120, as shown in "No. 10" in FIG. 5(a). The CPU 20A of the server 20 verifies whether all of the identification information shipped from the customer organization (MRO) 40 and having the same delivery ID set thereto has been read at the warehouse 32. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the result of the examination, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the customer organization (MRO) 40, which is the shipper of the aircraft tire T, or the warehouse 32, which is the receiver, by email or the like. The CPU 20A of the server 20 also identifies identification information that was shipped from the customer organization (MRO) 40 but not read, and checks the delivery status, such as whether the identified identification information was read by an organization other than the warehouse 32, which is the receiver. As will be described later, an operator checks whether the two-dimensional code or RFID tag attached to the aircraft tire T has peeled off, thereby allowing the identification information to be read. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 outputs the check result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the customer organization (MRO) 40, which is the shipper of the aircraft tire T, or the warehouse 32, which is the receiver, by e-mail or the like.
[0067] Furthermore, when reading the identification information, the mobile terminal 61 acquires the location information and date and time information from which the identification information was acquired. Then, the worker transmits the location information and date and time information acquired using the mobile terminal 61 to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the location information and date and time information as dynamic data 120 in association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T.
[0068] Furthermore, if an abnormality is found in an aircraft tire T, for example, if a two-dimensional code or RFID tag attached to the aircraft tire T has peeled off, a worker at the warehouse 32 uses a mobile terminal 61 set to a state in which an abnormality is selected to read the identification information of the aircraft tire T having the abnormality, and transmits the information to the server 20. Here, if the two-dimensional code or RFID tag attached to the aircraft tire T has peeled off, the identification information is obtained by reading the serial number using the mobile terminal 61, or by the worker inputting the serial number into the terminal 61. Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 associates the aircraft tire T having the abnormality with the identification information of the aircraft tire T, and stores the association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120.
[0069] Next, in step S206, the warehouse 32 ships the aircraft tire T for recovery to the factory 31 (arrow L6 in FIG. 4). When the aircraft tire T is shipped from the warehouse 32 to the factory 31, a worker acquires the identification information of the aircraft tire T using a mobile terminal 61 set to a state in which the identification information of the aircraft tire T to be shipped can be read. At this time, the mobile terminal 61 acquires location information and date and time information at which the identification information was acquired. Then, the worker transmits the identification information, location information, and date and time information acquired using the mobile terminal 61 to the server 20. As shown in "No. 11" in FIG. 5(a), the CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information, location information, and date and time information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120. Furthermore, the CPU 20A of the server 20 associates and sets a delivery ID with one or more pieces of identification information acquired at the warehouse 32 from which the aircraft tire T is shipped. For example, one delivery ID is set for each container containing 50 aircraft tires T. The delivery ID also includes information about the delivery destination.
[0070] Next, in step S207, when the aircraft tires T are delivered from the warehouse 32 to the factory 31, a worker at the factory 31 uses the mobile terminal 60 to read the delivery IDs delivered from the warehouse 32 to the factory 31 and transmits them to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the delivery IDs as dynamic data 120. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then verifies whether all of the delivery IDs shipped from the warehouse 32 to the factory 31 have been read. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the result of the examination, for example, by displaying it on the display device 24 or by notifying the warehouse 32, which is the shipping side of the aircraft tires T, or the factory 31, which is the receiving side, by email or the like. If there are any delivery IDs that have not been read, the CPU 20A of the server 20 identifies the delivery IDs that have been shipped from the warehouse 32 but have not been read, and checks the delivery status, such as whether the identified delivery IDs have been read by an institution other than the factory 31, which is the receiving side. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 outputs the confirmation result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies it by email or the like to the warehouse 32 that is the shipping side of the aircraft tires T and the factory 31 that is the receiving side.
[0071] Furthermore, in step S207, the worker at the factory 31 who received the aircraft tire T uses the mobile terminal 60 to read the identification information of the received aircraft tire T and transmits it to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the identification information, location information, and date and time information of the aircraft tire T as dynamic data 120, as shown in "No. 12" in FIG. 5(a). The CPU 20A of the server 20 verifies whether all of the identification information that was shipped from the warehouse 32 and to which the same delivery ID is set has been read at the factory 31. The CPU 20A of the server 20 then outputs the examination result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the warehouse 32 that is the shipping side of the aircraft tire T and the factory 31 that is the receiving side by email or the like. The CPU 20A of the server 20 also identifies the identification information that was shipped from the warehouse 32 but not read, and checks the delivery status, such as whether the identified identification information was read by an institution other than the factory 31 that is the receiving side. As will be described later, an operator checks whether the two-dimensional code or RFID tag attached to the aircraft tire T has peeled off, thereby allowing the identification information to be read. Then, the CPU 20A of the server 20 outputs the check result, for example, displays it on the display device 24, or notifies the warehouse 32, which is the shipping side of the aircraft tire T, or the factory 31, which is the receiving side, by e-mail or the like.
[0072] Furthermore, when reading the identification information, the mobile terminal 60 acquires the location information and date and time information from which the identification information was acquired. Then, the worker transmits the location information and date and time information acquired using the mobile terminal 60 to the server 20. The CPU 20A of the server 20 stores the location information and date and time information as dynamic data 120 in association with the identification information of the aircraft tire T.
[0073] Next, in step S208, the factory 31 that has received the recovered aircraft tires T retreads the recovered aircraft tires T and ships them again to the warehouse 32. The subsequent processing is the same as that of step S102 described above. Here, when retreading, the identification information of the aircraft tire T may be updated by adding a symbol that identifies the aircraft tire T as a retreaded aircraft tire T or a symbol that identifies the number of times it has been retreaded. The updated identification information is transmitted from the mobile terminal 60 to the server 20 by a worker at the factory 31, and is stored as static data 110 or dynamic data 120. Note that the organization that retreads the recovered aircraft tires T may be an organization different from the factory 31 that produces aircraft tires.
[0074] Furthermore, when receiving an aircraft tire T, the CPU 20A of the server 20 may notify the production organization 30, the customer organization (MRO) 40, or the customer organization (airline company) 50 on the shipping side of the aircraft tire T that all of the delivery IDs or identification information have been read. In other words, the CPU 20A may notify the production organization 30, the customer organization (MRO) 40, or the customer organization (airline company) 50 on the shipping side that the aircraft tire T has been delivered safely.
[0075] Furthermore, when accepting shipment of an aircraft tire T, the CPU 20A of the server 20 may notify the production institution 30, the customer institution (MRO) 40, or the customer institution (airline company) 50 on the receiving side of the aircraft tire T of the delivery ID or identification information. In other words, the CPU 20A may notify the production institution 30, the customer institution (MRO) 40, or the customer institution (airline company) 50 on the receiving side that the aircraft tire T will be delivered.
[0076] Furthermore, the server 20 of this embodiment outputs an invoice for the aircraft tires T to the customer organization (MRO) 40 or the customer organization (airline company) 50 after verifying the delivery ID. However, the timing at which the server 20 outputs the invoice is not limited to this. For example, the server 20 may output the invoice before the delivery ID has been verified.
[0077] Furthermore, if the aircraft tire T whose identification information is read by the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, and 63 has been shipped to a different shipping destination, the server 20 may notify or display on the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, and 63 that the aircraft tire T has been shipped incorrectly.
[0078] The server 20 preferably allows the client organization (MRO) 40 and the client organization (airline company) 50 to view only their own data regarding the static data 110 and the dynamic data 120. For example, when the delivery status of the dynamic data 120 is recorded to include delivery destination and customer data, the client organization (MRO) 40 and the client organization (airline company) 50 are preferably allowed to display only information about aircraft tires T for which their own organization is the delivery destination.
[0079] Furthermore, when information is transmitted from the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, and 63 to the server 20, the data history of the users of the mobile terminals 60, 61, 62, and 63 may also be transmitted to the server 20 and stored as dynamic data 120. In this way, it is possible to know when and who read the identification information, etc., and when a problem occurs, it becomes possible to confirm who last read the identification information, etc.
[0080] Furthermore, the information processing unit 210 may process, in a predetermined case, at least a portion of the identification information and status information of the aircraft tire T stored as the static data 110 or the dynamic data 120 so that the customer organization (MRO) 40 and the customer organization (airline company) 50 cannot view the information. For example, since it is not a problem if the information of the aircraft tire T for recovery shipped from the customer organization 40, 50 to the production organization 30 cannot be viewed, the information may be made inaccessible. Furthermore, past information may also be made inaccessible. Furthermore, the customer organization 40, 50 may be configured to be able to view only the identification information and status information of the aircraft tire T shipped to the customer organization 40, 50. Note that "inaccessible" here includes making the information inaccessible by deleting the data. Furthermore, the customer organization 40, 50 may be configured to be able to view unnecessary information.
[0081] Furthermore, the receiving unit 200 receives predetermined certification data of the aircraft tire T in association with the identification information from the production organization 30, the customer organization (MRO) 40, or the customer organization (airline) 50, and stores the data as static data 110 or dynamic data 120. The output unit 220 may be configured to output the certification data at a predetermined timing. Here, the certification data is a certificate of conformity indicating that the tire has been manufactured through a formal process as an aircraft part, such as an "equipment standard conformity certificate." The predetermined timing is after the organization at the previous stage in the processing order shown in FIG. 4 has shipped the aircraft tire T. The certificate of conformity is output in response to a request from the customer organization (MRO) 40 or the customer organization (airline) 50, and is made visible.
[0082] An example of the dynamic data 120 according to this embodiment is shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 5, as described above, items stored as the dynamic data 120 include a tire ID, a delivery ID, location information, date and time information, and a delivery status. Note that the items stored as the dynamic data 120 are not limited to those shown in Fig. 5 and also include, for example, the above-mentioned photographs and certificates of conformity. Here, when the identification information of an aircraft tire T to be shipped is read using a mobile terminal 60, 61, 62, 63 set to a state for reading the identification information of the aircraft tire T, the server 20 determines that the shipment is based on the location information acquired at the same time and records the delivery status. Also, when the identification information is read using a mobile terminal 60, 61, 62, 63 set to a state for reading the identification information of an incoming aircraft tire T, the server 20 determines that the shipment is based on the location information acquired at the same time and records the delivery status. Also, Figure 5(a) shows an example in which all identification information is read when the identification information is read at each institution, and Figure 5(b) shows an example in which the identification information of the aircraft tire T with tire ID "0001" is not read when the aircraft tire T arrives at the customer institution (MRO).
[0083] According to the server 20 (aircraft tire management device) of this embodiment, by comparing the identification information of an aircraft tire T acquired by the production organization 30, the customer organization (MRO) 40, or the customer organization (airline company) 50 with the static data 110 or the dynamic data 120 stored in the storage 20D, it is possible to identify an aircraft tire T whose identification information has not been read, and to store the delivery status such as the arrival and shipment of the aircraft tire T. In addition, it is also possible to notify the production organization 30, the customer organization (MRO) 40, or the customer organization (airline company) 50 of the result of the comparison.

[0084] In the above embodiment, various processes executed by the CPU 20A after reading software (programs) may be executed by various processors other than a CPU. Examples of such processors include programmable logic devices (PLDs) (such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)) whose circuit configuration can be changed after fabrication, and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that are dedicated electrical circuits designed specifically to execute specific processes. Each of the above processes may be executed by one of these processors, or by a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (e.g., multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). The hardware structure of these processors is, more specifically, an electrical circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices.
[0085] In the above embodiment, each program has been described as being pre-stored (installed) on a computer-readable non-transitory recording medium. For example, the processing program 100 in the server 20 is pre-stored in the storage 20D. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Each program may be provided in a form recorded on a non-transitory recording medium such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory), a DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disc Read Only Memory), or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The program may also be downloaded from an external device via a network.
[0086] The processing flow described in the above embodiment is also an example, and unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be changed within the scope of the gist of the invention. [Explanation of symbols]
