Egg Information Management via Cloud and Weighing Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The current methods for managing egg information, such as entering or inputting information about eggs during transportation, are time-consuming and labor-intensive, with a high risk of input mistakes, especially during unloading from trucks.
Innovation Solution
An egg information management system that utilizes a cloud system accessible from both farm-side and sorting-place-side user devices, associating farm information, egg weights, and unique identification tags to streamline the data management process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual information entry is performed by users at each stage (shipping, unloading, warehousing), then information can be recorded, but time consumption and labor burden increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-service information recording by having the weighing device automatically capture egg quantity data and transmit it to the cloud system, eliminating the need for manual information entry at each stage while maintaining accurate records
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of information entry is replaced by an automated electronic system where weighing devices automatically transmit data through wireless communication to the cloud system, which then notifies relevant parties electronically
2Reliability
If manual information entry is performed by users at each stage, then information can be recorded, but labor burden increases especially during unloading
Solution Approach 1:
The weighing device performs automatic information recording and transmission without requiring user intervention, making the operation simple while ensuring complete information capture
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud system acts as an intermediary that automatically receives data from weighing devices and distributes notifications to relevant parties, simplifying the operational process while ensuring information completeness
3Loss of information
If information is entered manually at each stage, then detailed records can be kept, but input mistakes occur frequently
Solution Approach 1:
Manual information entry is replaced by automated electronic data capture and transmission systems, eliminating human error while maintaining accurate and complete information records
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud system provides automatic feedback by notifying the sorting place and other relevant parties of egg shipment information, ensuring information accuracy through automated confirmation and record-keeping
4Productivity
If automatic notification system is implemented, then time and labor are reduced, but cloud system infrastructure is required
Solution Approach 1:
The cloud system serves multiple functions including data reception, storage, processing, and notification distribution to multiple parties, achieving high productivity through a unified multi-functional platform
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud system acts as an intermediary platform that coordinates information flow between weighing devices, farms, sorting places, and other stakeholders, enabling efficient automatic notification while managing system infrastructure centrally

AI summary
An egg information management system of the present disclosure is a system that manages information of eggs that are produced in a farm, placed on a utensil attached with a unique identification tag, and transported to a sorting place. The information management system manages information concerning the farm transmitted to a cloud system that is accessible both from a farm side user device and a sorting place side user device, and information concerning weight of eggs placed on the utensil in association with the unique identification tag.
