BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 shows a configuration of an article storage mode determination support device 1 according to the present embodiment.
[0024]
The article storage form determination support device 1 is composed of a computer 2, and a CPU 3 of the computer 2 executes arithmetic processing and the like using data stored in a RAM 5 as needed according to a processing procedure stored in a ROM 4.
[0025]
The CPU 3 can process the image, display the image on the CRT 7 via the interface 6, and print the image on the printer 9.
Further, when data or an instruction is input from the keyboard 8, the CPU 3 inputs the data or instruction via the interface 6 and processes the data.
[0026]
FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the control system of the article storage mode determination support device 1 described above.
It is roughly divided into an input unit using the keyboard 8, an arithmetic processing unit using the CPU 3 and the ROM 4, a storage unit using the RAM 5, and an output unit using the CRT 7 and the printer 9.
[0027]
In the input unit, the dimensions (L, W, H) of the stored articles, the margin coefficient α, the search condition, and the unit price ui are input.
Here, the dimensions (L, W, H) of the stored articles are three dimensions of a length L, a width W, and a height H of a rectangular hexagonal box in which the stored articles are included in contact with six surfaces.
[0028]
For example, in the case of a bolt, as shown in FIG. 3, a rectangular hexagonal box enclosing the bolt is assumed, and the rectangular hexagonal box is set so that its six surfaces are in contact with the bolt.
The length of the longest side of this rectangular hexahedral box is length L, the length of the next longest side is width W, and the length of the shortest side is height H, and these three dimensions are measured.
The length L, width W, and height H have a relationship of L ≧ W ≧ H.
[0029]
The margin coefficient α indicates the degree of margin of whether the size of the storage bag for storing articles is tight or loose, and is used to calculate the development area S of the storage bag.
The search conditions are the material of the articles to be stored, the processing method, the storage period, and the like, and can search for a storage mode that satisfies the input conditions.
The unit price ui is a unit price per unit development area of the storage bag, and is stored in a storage unit described later. When an update is required, a new unit price is input.
[0030]
On the other hand, the storage unit sets unit prices u ₁ , u ₂ ,..., Ui,... Corresponding to various types of storage modes R ₁ , R ₂ ,. The storage unit / unit price storage unit 20 stores data as shown in the table shown in FIG. 3, and the unit price ui of the storage unit / unit price storage unit 20 can be updated as described above.
[0031]
The arithmetic processing unit is provided with a developed area calculating means 21 for calculating the developed area S of the storage bag from the dimensions (L, W, H) of the stored articles input from the input unit and the margin coefficient α.
[0032]
The developed area calculation means 21 calculates the following developed area calculation formula S = (2W + 2H + 2) × (L + α · W + 2)
Is calculated according to the following equation.
The same formula is used when a storage bag formed in consideration of the bottom seal margin and the front door tie margin is developed in a rectangular parallelepiped box assumed when the dimensions (L, W, H) of the storage article are obtained. Is an arithmetic expression for simply calculating the area of.
[0033]
Here, the margin coefficient α is equivalent to the binding margin coefficient. As a result of an experiment in which articles were put in a storage bag and the frontage was tied, if the margin coefficient α was 0.68 or less, it became too tight to hinder the binding. It has been confirmed that if it is .8 or more, the bag has too much room and becomes expensive.
[0034]
Therefore, the margin coefficient α is preferably set to a value of 0.68 <α <0.80.
Even if 0.68 <α <0.80, the smaller the value, the tighter the work and the time required for storage work may be reduced, but the material cost can be reduced. Conversely, the higher the value, the easier the storage work and the easier the storage work. Get higher.
[0035]
In addition, the arithmetic processing unit includes a storage mode / unit price search unit 22 for searching the storage mode / unit price ui from the storage mode / unit price storage unit 20 when the search condition is input.
[0036]
For example, if the stored article is made of iron and the material is input as iron, various forms of storing iron parts are extracted, excluding the form of storing articles made of resin or aluminum.
If the rust prevention life is entered as 15 years, various storage forms having a rust prevention life of 15 years are searched.
[0037]
Further, the arithmetic processing unit is provided with a storage cost calculating means 23, and the storage cost calculating means 23 stores the storage form / unit price search means 22 in the development area S of the storage bag calculated by the development area calculation means 21. Is multiplied by the unit price ui for the retrieved storage form Ri to calculate the storage cost Ci.
[0038]
Further, the arithmetic processing unit forms an image in which the storage cost Ci calculated by the storage cost calculation unit 23 and the storage mode Ri searched by the storage mode / unit price search unit 22 correspond to each other and are tabulated. A storage mode / storage cost image processing means 24 is provided.
[0039]
The image of the list of the storage form Ri and the storage cost Ci formed by the storage form / storage cost image processing means 24 is displayed on the CRT 7 of the output unit or printed by the printer 9.
[0040]
The operation procedure of the article storage mode determination support device 1 according to the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, in step 1, the unit price ui per unit development area of the storage bag and the initial margin coefficient α are input. For the initial unit price ui, a preset unit price ui is stored in the storage form / unit price storage unit 20. Since the initial margin coefficient α is also set to an appropriate value (for example, 0.7 in the middle of the preferable range) in advance, it is not necessary to input the step 1.
[0041]
Next, the dimension data of the length L, the width W, and the height H obtained by measuring the stored articles in step 2 are input, and then in step 3, search conditions are input.
Then, in step 4, the storage form Ri and unit price ui that match the search condition are searched from the storage form / unit price storage unit 20.
[0042]
In the next step 5, the development area S of the storage bag is calculated from the dimensions (L, W, H) of the stored articles and the margin coefficient α according to the development area calculation formula.
Then, in the next step 6, the storage cost Ci is calculated by multiplying the calculated storage bag development area S by the calculated storage bag development area S by the calculated unit price ui for the storage form Ri.
[0043]
At step 7, an image is displayed in a table in which the retrieved storage form Ri and the calculated storage cost Ci are associated with each other.
FIG. 6 shows a display example when the material of the article is iron as a search condition.
[0044]
By looking at this table, the operator can easily select the most appropriate storage mode for storing the article in consideration of the storage cost.
Then, in the next step 8, it is determined whether or not the storage form and the storage cost are both appropriate and can be adopted.
[0045]
If the storage cost cannot be adopted, the process proceeds to step 9, the value of the margin coefficient α is changed and the process returns to step 5, the calculation of the development area S, the calculation of the storage cost Ci (step 6), the storage mode Ri and the new storage mode Ri. The storage cost Ci is displayed (step 7), and it is determined again whether the storage cost Ci can be adopted (step 8).
[0046]
The above steps 5, 6, 7, and 8 are repeatedly performed while changing the value of the margin coefficient α, so that it is possible to easily determine the storage form and the storage cost that can be adopted.
When the storage form and the storage cost that can be adopted are determined in this way, the process proceeds from step 8 to step 10 to determine whether or not to end the processing. If it is desired to update the unit price ui or to determine the storage form for another article, etc. Return to 1; otherwise, end.
[0047]
Although the search condition is input in step 3, the search condition need not be input.
If no search condition is entered, all storage modes stored in the storage mode / unit price storage unit 20 will be displayed, and a storage mode that can be adopted from a large number of storage modes must be determined.
[0048]
Therefore, by simply inputting the dimensions (L, W, H) of the stored articles, a table of all storage modes Ri and storage costs Ci for the initial margin coefficient α is displayed, and the storage modes Ri can be easily determined with reference to the table. It is possible to determine
[0049]
By further inputting the search condition, a table of the storage mode Ri and the storage cost Ci is displayed by narrowing down to the storage mode related to the article to be stored, so that the storage mode Ri can be determined more easily.
[0050]
In addition, by repeatedly performing the calculation while changing the margin coefficient α and displaying a table of the storage form Ri and the storage cost Ci, it is possible to easily determine the storage form Ri of the appropriate storage cost Ci, and the storage form of the worker can be easily determined. Can effectively support the decision.
[0051]
In step 1, since the unit price can be input and the unit price ui stored in the storage form / unit price storage means 20 can be updated, it is possible to flexibly respond by changing the unit price adapted to each time without fixing the unit price. Can be.
