However, in the above-mentioned work place management system, it is not possible to manage equipment provided in the work place only by managing workers.

In workplaces employing the recent scaffolding-free construction method, workplaces such as table lifts and crawler boom lifts have been introduced for work at heights such as ceilings. In particular, in large-scale construction, there are hundreds of equipment. Then, these are introduced into the work place by a lease contract and rented out as necessary. In addition, there are cases where several foremen are kept in the luggage, but also in this case, there are extra companies and some companies that are in short supply, and the number of leases as a whole is relatively large.

However, in reality, there is a problem that the borrowing / returning status is not clear because it is in an unmanaged state, and many of them are left on site. In particular, in the case of a battery system, if the battery is discharged, it becomes unusable and is left as it is. Also, in high-rise buildings, it takes time to search for empty equipment even if it is available. As a result, the amount of play equipment increases, and in large-scale construction where it takes, for example, 20 months from construction to completion,
There is a problem that enormous leasing costs are required for empty equipment during that time.

Further, equipment used in the workplace usually requires attendance and qualifications for skill training, and lending it to a worker who does not satisfy such requirements results in poor work efficiency and safety. Problems arise. Therefore, it is necessary to perform these checks when lending equipment.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and allows each worker to easily search for empty equipment.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a workplace equipment management device capable of automatically checking the equipment lending destination, use time, and the like, and performing management for improving the operation efficiency of the equipment.
