Description

Article quantity monitoring system and monitoring method Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a control system, and in particular to an article quantity monitoring system and a monitoring method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In a workplace, for production or research purposes, it's common to store items for use as raw materials or product delivery. The goal is to ensure immediate availability and reduce waiting time. However, if the items are controlled substances or chemicals, the lack of accurate storage control can easily pose a potential risk to the workplace, endangering the health and lives of workers.

[0003] However, current methods for controlling the storage of items are independently established by each work environment based on regulations. Most rely on a single inspector in each work environment to perform regular, one-by-one manual inventory checks based on a list of items stored. This not only fails to provide a timely understanding of the current storage status of each work environment, but also easily leads to inconsistent control rigor between work environments due to the presence of these inspectors, or even a superficial control process. Therefore, developing a method that can timely monitor the current storage status of each work environment to maintain strict control of items is a highly sought-after goal in various fields.

[0004] Summary of the Invention

[0005] To develop a system that can timely monitor the current storage status of items in each work environment and maintain strict item control, the present invention provides an item quantity monitoring system, comprising an environmental database that records an environmental map of at least one work environment and item information, wherein the item information records the type, quantity, and storage location of at least one item in the work environment corresponding to the environmental map; and an inspection planning module that includes a specification database connected to or loaded with an item specification via a network, and a monitoring unit that verifies whether the item information complies with the standards set forth in the item specification after the change, and provides an inventory tolerance value or an alarm.

[0006] The inspection planning module includes an inspection planning unit, which provides an inspection plan according to the item data and the corresponding item specifications.

[0007] A working environment is connected to the server via an operation terminal device, and the inspection planning unit provides the inspection plan to the operation terminal device to perform an inspection operation on the article in the working environment.

[0008] A work environment is connected to the server via an operation terminal device. After the operation terminal device modifies the type, quantity and storage location of the item in the item data, the monitoring unit provides the inventory tolerance value to the operation terminal device.

[0009] The article specification includes compliance with national laws or administrative regulations or a self-defined storage specification. When the article data does not comply with the article specification, the monitoring unit generates the warning signal to the server and / or the operation terminal device.

[0010] Furthermore, it includes an operating program linked to the server, which provides a work schedule, an estimated date, and an estimated change quantity to the server. The server generates estimated item data based on the current item data, the work schedule, and the estimated date, and checks whether the estimated item data meets the standards set by the item specification, and provides an estimated inventory tolerance value or the warning.

[0011] Furthermore, the operating program may be an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, a customer relationship management (CRM) system or other currently common enterprise management systems.

[0012] Furthermore, when the estimated item data does not meet the item specification, the server prevents the operation program from executing.

[0013] Furthermore, an external unit is connected to the server via an external terminal device. When the operation terminal device modifies the item data, the server sends a verification notification to the external terminal device.

[0014] The present invention also provides an item quantity monitoring method, comprising an item quantity monitoring system executed by a server. The server includes an environment map recording at least one work environment, item data, the item data recording the type, quantity, and storage location of at least one item in the work environment corresponding to the environment map, and an item specification connected or loaded via a network. The server executes the item quantity monitoring method, comprising the following steps:

[0015] Accept the item information change;

[0016] Confirm whether the item data meets the standards after the change according to the item specifications;

[0017] If the criteria are met, provide an inventory tolerance value; and

[0018] If the standards are not met, an alarm is generated.

[0019] The system includes an operating program linked to the server, and the server executes an estimated monitoring step through the operating program, including:

[0020] Accept the input of an estimated date, an estimated change quantity and an expected change quantity from the operation program;

[0021] Based on the estimated date, the current item data is updated using the estimated change quantity and the expected change quantity to form estimated item data;

[0022] Confirm whether the estimated item information meets the item specifications;

[0023] If the criteria are met, provide an estimated inventory tolerance; and

[0024] If the standards are not met, an alarm is generated.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The present invention utilizes an item quantity monitoring system provided by the server to instantly update item data and simultaneously monitor and control it to confirm compliance with regulatory standards. Furthermore, it provides internal auditors with a verification plan based on regulatory standards, effectively maintaining rigorous item control and preventing internal audits from becoming a mere formality. The server creates a network-based connection between upstream and downstream industries, achieving bidirectional verification. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Please refer to the preferred embodiment provided by the present invention in Figure 1, which includes a server 10, a work environment B and an external unit C. The server 10 is connected to the work environment B and the external unit C via a network, and provides services including an item quantity monitoring system, an audit system and a fire alarm system based on the industry category or needs of the work environment B and / or the external unit C.

[0035] The server 10 can be presented in the form of a web page or an APP, etc. The server 10 provides a corresponding operating system and permissions according to the working environment B or the external unit C.

[0036] The working environment B may be a factory, an academic institution, a medical research institution, a logistics warehouse, etc., without limitation.

[0037] The external unit C has a direct or indirect business relationship with the work environment B regarding the quantity increase, decrease, inventory, and review of the items. Preferably, the external unit C can be an upstream supplier, a downstream manufacturer, a third-party inspection unit, a fire department, or a national supervision unit.

[0038] The server 10 includes an environment database 11, an inspection planning module 12, and a fire planning module 13. The server 10 determines the permissions that the work environment B and / or the external unit C have for accessing or editing the environment database 11, the inspection planning module 12, and the fire planning module 13 through the services provided by the item quantity monitoring system, the audit system, or the fire notification system.

[0039] The environment database 11 records basic data 111 and item data 112 for at least one work environment B. Basic data 111 records the attributes of the work environment, including industry category, responsible person, staff, internal auditors, and an environment map. The environment map of the work environment B can be a 2D map, 3D map, or structural diagram that includes the geographic location, spatial layout, equipment / water and electricity configuration, and other related information. Item data 112 records the storage conditions of the item in the work environment, including the item's type, quantity, and storage location corresponding to the environment map.

[0040] In this embodiment, the work environment B can be connected to the server 10 through an operation terminal device B1 to execute the item quantity monitoring system to instantly update the storage conditions of an item in the work environment B in the item data 112 of the server 10, or complete the item verification operation required by the server 10.

[0041] The work terminal device B1 can be a computer, a mobile phone, or a detector. A worker can use the work terminal device B1, such as a computer or a mobile phone, to update the storage conditions of the item in the item data 112. Alternatively, the work terminal device B1 can be the detector, which can sense and identify the storage conditions of the item and automatically update the item data 112.

[0042] The inspection planning module 12 includes a specification database 121 connected to or loaded via a network, corresponding to the work environment B and the item data 112. A monitoring unit 122 verifies that the item data 112 meets the standards set by the item specification and provides a stock tolerance to the operation terminal device B1. This allows the worker to confirm the total quantity of the item that can be stored in the work environment B and the permissible remaining quantity. An inspection planning unit 123 uses the item data 112 and the corresponding item specification to create an inspection plan for the internal inventory personnel or the external unit C to inspect the item in the work environment B.

[0043] Preferably, the article specification can be in compliance with laws or administrative regulations issued by the state. When the article data 112 does not meet the standards set by the article specification, the article quantity monitoring system 10 generates an alarm to the server A and / or notifies the external unit C.

[0044] Preferably, the item specification may also include a customized storage specification set by the work environment B, and the customized storage specification is stricter than the item specification. When the item data 112 initially fails to meet the standards set by the customized storage specification, the item quantity monitoring system 10 may generate an alert to notify the person in charge, staff, or internal inspection personnel before the work terminal device B1, thereby providing a preemptive warning.

[0045] 2 and 3 , the server 10 executes the item quantity monitoring system to monitor the item data 112 , including the following steps:

[0046] S101, accept the change of item data 112;

[0047] S102, confirming whether the item information 112 meets the standards according to the item specification;

[0048] S103, if the standard is met, providing an inventory tolerance value; and

[0049] S104, if it does not meet the standards, generate an alarm to the server 10, the external unit C or the operation terminal device B1

[0050] The inspection planning module 12 can also provide the inspection plan to the internal inspection personnel based on the item specifications and the item data 112 stored in the server 10, so as to regularly notify the internal inspection personnel to conduct an inventory check of the item types, quantities, and storage locations, thereby achieving the internal inspection function of the work environment 20.

[0051] When the internal inspection personnel take inventory of the items according to the inspection plan, if they find that the actual storage conditions do not match the item data 112, the internal inspection personnel update the item data 112 on the server 10 through the operation terminal device B1 and re-execute the steps of monitoring the storage conditions of the items.

[0052] Please refer to FIG. 1 . The present invention further provides the following embodiments to illustrate applicable scenarios of the item quantity monitoring system 10 .

[0053] For example, when the working environment B is a production line B3 for producing the item, the staff of the production line B3 can log in to the item quantity monitoring system 10 through the work terminal device B1 and update the storage conditions of the corresponding item in the item data 112 based on the daily output of the item.

[0054] When the item is finished and transported to a warehouse B4 for storage, the staff of the production line B3 can also update the storage location of the item in the environment map in the item data 112. Preferably, the storage location of the item can also be updated by the staff of the warehouse B4.

[0055] The worker of production line B3 can determine the output quantity of the item for the day based on the inventory tolerance value before starting the operation, thus achieving the purpose of preventive measures.

[0056] In another embodiment, the working environment B can also be linked to the server 10 via an operating program B2 to automatically update or even estimate the item data 112 of the item in the future. The operating program can be a common enterprise management system such as an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system or a customer relationship management (CRM) system.

[0057] For example, the working environment B is the warehouse B4, and when the staff of the warehouse B4 inputs a purchase condition of the item in the operation program B2, the server 10 performs an estimated monitoring step for the item based on the purchase condition and the current item data 112.

[0058] The purchase condition includes an estimated date of purchase and an estimated change quantity; the operation program B2 provides an expected change quantity of the item to be used according to the work schedule.

[0059] The server 10 executes the item quantity monitoring system to perform the estimated monitoring step including:

[0060] S111, accepting the input of an estimated date, an estimated change quantity, and an expected change quantity from the operation program B2;

[0061] S112, based on the estimated date, updating the current item data 112 with the estimated change quantity and the expected change quantity to form estimated item data;

[0062] S113, confirming whether the estimated item information meets the item specifications;

[0063] S114, if the item meets the specifications, provide an estimated inventory tolerance value; and

[0064] S115: If the standard is not met, an alarm is generated to the server A, the external unit C or the operation terminal device B1.

[0065] Furthermore, when the item data 112 does not conform to the item specification, the server A generates the warning or prevents the operation program B2 from executing.

[0066] In this way, the operation program B2 can provide the estimated consumption quantity of the item based on the expected change quantity. The server A can then use the item quantity monitoring system to combine the estimated consumption quantity of the item before the purchase date to monitor the storage conditions of the item. This allows the server A to estimate whether the item data 112 meets the item specifications on the purchase date.

[0067] Similarly, on the purchase date, the staff of the warehouse B4 receives the item and logs into the item quantity monitoring system 10 of the server A through the operation terminal device B1 to update the current item data 112 .

[0068] In addition, the server A can simultaneously allow two or more of the working environments B or other external units C to log in to execute the item quantity monitoring system 10 , and achieve the effect of mutually verifying the update of the item data 112 through the item quantity monitoring system 10 .

[0069] For example, the two working environments B are the production line B3 and the warehouse B4. When the item is manufactured on the production line B3 and transported to the warehouse B4 for storage, the staff of the production line B3 updates the storage location of the item on the item data 112, and then the staff of the warehouse B4 verifies and confirms it to increase the rigor of the item record.

[0070] For example, external unit C is the upstream manufacturer, and the upstream manufacturer also executes the item quantity monitoring system 10 via an external terminal device C1. When work environment B receives the item from the upstream manufacturer and updates the item data 112, the server 10, through the item quantity monitoring system, issues a verification notification to the external terminal device C1 of external unit C based on the source of the item. This allows external unit C to assist in verifying the authenticity of the updated item data 112 for work environment B. Conversely, work environment B can also assist in verifying the item data 112 updated by the upstream manufacturer upon receiving the item.

[0071] The item quantity monitoring system provides permission to update the item data 112 according to the working environment B and / or the external unit C.

[0072] The present invention utilizes an item quantity monitoring system provided by server 10 to instantly update item data 112 while simultaneously controlling it to verify compliance with regulatory standards. Furthermore, it provides internal auditors with a verification plan based on regulatory standards, effectively maintaining rigorous item control and preventing internal audits from becoming a mere formality. Server A creates a network-based connection with upstream and downstream industries, achieving bidirectional verification.

[0073] Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 . Furthermore, the audit system provided by the server 10 can enable the external unit C to communicate with the work environment B to complete the inspection operation of the items in the work environment B.

[0074] For example, if the external unit C is a third-party inspection unit, the external unit C can connect to the server A via the external terminal device C1 to execute the audit system, allowing the external unit C to view the information in the environment database 11 through the audit system. The inspection planning unit 123 of the inspection planning module 12 uses the item data 112 and the corresponding item specifications to plan the inspection plan for the external unit C, thereby regularly notifying the external unit C and the work environment B to verify whether the item data 112 meets the actual storage conditions of the item.

[0075] The external terminal device C1 can be a computer, a mobile phone or a detector.

[0076] The inspection plan includes the inspection items of the item to be inspected in the item data 112. If there are more than one item, the items and the inspection items can be presented in multiple lists or on a single page, which is not limited here.

[0077] The inspection plan provides an inspection guide to assist the work environment B in providing the required information for each inspection item, so that the audit system or the external unit C can check the item information 112. The inspection guide can include a form for the work environment B to check or accept the work environment B to upload the relevant information of the item.

[0078] The inspection plan can be based on the specifications of the item to select the frequency of the inspection plan or the number of inspection items. The external unit C can add or delete the inspection items or the inspection guide according to needs.

[0079] The inspection instructions include uploading an image of the item, which includes the item type, quantity, and storage location. The image of the item can be in the form of a photo or video.

[0080] The monitoring unit 122 compares the object image provided by the working environment B with the environment map and the inspection plan to determine whether the inspection item meets the standard.

[0081] The audit system can obtain access to the camera and / or microphone of the external terminal device C1 and the work terminal device B1. The inspection instructions include a real-time verification. The real-time verification involves the external unit C using the audit system to establish a communication connection between the external terminal device C1 and the work terminal device B1 in the work environment B, requesting the work terminal device B1 to provide an image of the object in real time and upload it to the monitoring unit 122.

[0082] In this way, the external unit C can immediately confirm whether the storage conditions of the item are consistent with the item data 112 by comparing the environment map, and can also achieve the effect of the external unit C visiting the workplace B without having to arrive at the work environment B in person.

[0083] Furthermore, during the real-time audit, the image of the object stored in the monitoring unit 122 can be determined by the external unit C controlling the external terminal device C1, thereby improving the rigor of the audit system and preventing the work environment B from circumventing the risk.

[0084] 4 , the working environment B notifies the server 10 to execute the audit system to check the item data 112 , including the following steps:

[0085] S201, forming an inspection plan based on the item data 112 and the item specifications;

[0086] S202, notifying the work environment B to execute the inspection guidance provided by the inspection plan;

[0087] S203, the work environment B completes the inspection items according to the inspection guide and uploads the image of the item;

[0088] S204, determining whether the object image is consistent with the environment map and the object information 112, and whether it meets the object specification standards;

[0089] S205, notifying the working environment B and / or the external unit C of an inspection result.

[0090] 5 , the steps of the external unit C executing the audit system through the server 10 to check the item data 112 include:

[0091] S211 , providing the inspection plan to the external unit C based on the article data 112 and the article specifications to confirm or modify the inspection items and / or the inspection guidelines;

[0092] S212, when the inspection instruction includes a real-time check, the external unit C communicates with the work environment B to obtain the image of the object;

[0093] S213, determining whether the object image is consistent with the environment map and the object information 112, and whether it meets the object specification standards, and forming the inspection result;

[0094] S214, if the inspection result shows that the object image is consistent with the environment map and the object data 112, and meets the object specification standards, the monitoring unit 122 ends the inspection plan and notifies the external unit C;

[0095] S215 , if any of the object image, the environment map, and the object data 112 in the inspection result does not meet the object specification standard, the monitoring unit 122 notifies the external unit C and the work environment B and generates a review plan.

[0096] To prevent repeated inspections between the external unit C and the work environment B, the monitoring unit 122 may first confirm whether the object image is consistent with the environment map and the object data 112, and then proceed to determine the object specification standard to determine the inspection result.

[0097] The external unit C can choose to end the inspection plan or execute the review plan according to the inspection result through the external terminal device C1.

[0098] The review plan may include the inspection items that workplace B did not meet during the inspection plan, or it may include other inspection items additionally required by external unit C. The review plan method is the same as that in the previous paragraph and will not be further described here.

[0099] Furthermore, each inspection result of the work environment B is recorded in the basic data 111 of the work environment B, so that when the external unit C executes the audit system, it can decide or modify the inspection plan / the review plan based on the past inspection results.

[0100] The present invention utilizes the audit system provided by the server 10 to enable a third party or regulatory agency to inspect the item in the work environment B. The item image is simultaneously compared with the environment map and the item data 112 to achieve multiple verifications. Further verification is then performed to determine if the item complies with the item's specifications. This prevents the audit process from becoming a mere formality.

[0101] By performing the real-time verification between the external terminal device C1 and the operation terminal device B1, the external unit C can achieve the effect of personally visiting the workplace B. In addition, the image of the object can be determined by the external unit C, thereby improving the rigor of the audit system.

[0102] 6 , further, the fire alarm system provided by the server 10 can enable the external unit C to communicate with the work environment B, so that the external unit C can confirm the item data 112 of the item in the work environment B in real time.

[0103] For example, when the external unit C is the fire department, the external unit C can connect to the server A through an external terminal device C1 to execute the fire notification system, so that the external unit C can view the basic data 111 and the object data 112 in the environmental database 11 through the fire notification system.

[0104] The external terminal device C1 can be a computer, a mobile phone or a detector.

[0105] The work environment B can execute the fire notification system provided by the server 10 through the work terminal device B1 and submit a fire demand to the external unit C through the fire planning module 13 .

[0106] Among them, the fire planning module 13 receives a disaster relief location provided by the operation terminal device B1 and marks the disaster relief location in the environmental map. The fire planning module 13 provides the fire protection demand including the environmental map marked with a disaster relief location and the object data 112 corresponding to the environmental map to the external unit C.

[0107] Furthermore, the fire planning module 13 connects to or loads a disaster relief specification corresponding to the work environment B and the item data 112 via the network. Based on the disaster relief specification and the environmental map, the fire planning module 13 provides a suggested disaster relief route and a suggested disaster relief strategy in response to the firefighting request. This allows the external unit C to instantly understand or estimate the on-site conditions of the work environment B before arriving at the scene.

[0108] When the operation terminal device B1 raises the fire demand, the authenticity of the fire demand can be verified by a second operation terminal device B1 to avoid false alarms.

[0109] For example, one of the operation terminal devices B1 is the detector, and the other operation terminal device B1 is the worker's mobile phone. When the detector submits the firefighting request to the server, the server notifies the worker's mobile phone to verify the firefighting request.

[0110] Since the fire alarm system is used in real-time emergencies and is not a normal function, to protect the privacy of the work environment B and prevent false alarms, the external unit C must obtain real-time authorization to access the information in the environment database 11. This real-time authorization can be provided during the authentication of the second work terminal device B1, so that the external unit C can obtain the fire alarm information.

[0111] The external unit C executes the fire alarm system through the server 10, including the following steps:

[0112] S301, the operation terminal device B1 executes the fire notification system and proposes a fire demand through the fire planning module;

[0113] S302 (optional), the second operation terminal device B1 verifies the fire protection requirement;

[0114] S303 , transmitting the firefighting demand and / or the immediate authority to the external unit C, and the external unit C obtains the environmental map indicating a disaster relief location and the object data 112 corresponding to the environmental map.

[0115] Furthermore, the fire alarm system of the server 10 can also be connected or linked to existing firefighting equipment or firefighting operation systems. For example, the fire alarm system can be connected to an automatic sprinkler system, and a fire sensor of the automatic sprinkler system can serve as the operation terminal device B1. When the fire sensor detects an abnormal temperature or smoke condition, it issues a fire alarm request. After verification by the second operation terminal device B1, the automatic sprinkler system is activated and the server 10 notifies the external unit C. This prevents the fire sensor from detecting an abnormality.

[0116] For example, the server 10 is connected to a fire dispatch system, so that the fire demand can be directly transmitted to the external terminal device C1 of a dispatched firefighter via an APP or a QRCODE.

[0117] The fire alarm system provided by the server 10 of the present invention enables the external unit C to obtain the geographical location of the work environment B (the environmental map) and the item information 112 in real time through authorization. When a firefighting need is established, the work environment B can quickly provide a disaster relief location, a recommended disaster relief route, and a recommended disaster relief strategy so that the external unit C can immediately grasp or estimate the on-site conditions of the work environment B before arriving at the scene, eliminating the obstacles faced by firefighters in unknown environments during firefighting and disaster relief, and improving the life safety and disaster relief efficiency of firefighters during firefighting and disaster relief.

[0118] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
