Description

The present invention relates to a production management system and an information processing device.

In recent years, as livestock farms have become larger, there has been a tendency for domestically produced feed crops to be in short supply. At the same time, an increasing number of domestic crop farmers are hoping to produce feed crops to maintain crop rotation and improve yields. In this situation, if crop farmers can efficiently provide the feed crops required by livestock farmers, not only will they be able to maintain appropriate crop rotation, but it is also expected that self-sufficiency in feed crops will increase.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-302105 JP 2019-144935 A International Publication No. WO2014/178097 JP 2005-251079 A JP 2004-133716 A

However, crop farmers are unable to grasp the amount of feed crops required by livestock farmers, and are therefore unable to produce enough feed crops to meet the demand of livestock farmers, meaning that crop farmers and livestock farmers cannot work together to produce feed crops.

The purpose of the present invention is to enable the production of feed crops in conjunction with livestock farming.

The production management system of the present invention is a system including a first terminal, a second terminal, a third terminal, and an information processing device, which are interconnected via a network, in which the first terminal notifies the information processing device of production history information indicating the production history of each field of feed crops, the second terminal associates an identifier that identifies a product containing the feed crop with the field in which the feed crop contained in the product was cultivated, and notifies the information processing device, the second terminal outputs an instruction to a device connected to the device to store identification information including the identifier in a medium, and the third terminal outputs a recording medium attached to the product. The system identifies the identifier from the identification information of the medium, and the third terminal notifies the information processing device of input information required to create demand information indicating future demand for the feed crop contained in the product identified by the identified identifier, in association with the identifier, and the information processing device creates the demand information based on the notified input information and identifier, and the information processing device creates plan information indicating a production plan for the feed crop in the field corresponding to the notified identifier, based on the production history information and demand information corresponding to the field.

The information processing device of the present invention is an information processing device that includes a control unit that performs a process of acquiring production history information indicating the production history of feed crops for each field, acquiring an identifier that identifies a product containing the feed crop in a state associated with the field in which the feed crop contained in the product was grown, acquiring input information required to create demand information indicating the future demand for the feed crop contained in the product identified by the identifier in a state associated with the identifier, creating the demand information based on the acquired input information and the identifier, and creating plan information indicating a production plan for the feed crop in the field corresponding to the acquired identifier based on the production history information and the demand information corresponding to the field.

According to the present invention, feed crops can be produced in conjunction with livestock farming.

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of a production management system according to this embodiment.
The production management system 10 is a system in which livestock farmers, crop farmers, the crop farmers' contractors, and transport companies cooperate with each other to manage the production of feed crops. As an example, the production management system 10 has first to fourth terminals 11 to 14 and a server 15.

Among these, the first terminal 11 is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone managed by the crop farmer. There are no particular limitations on the feed crops produced by the crop farmer. For example, the crop farmer produces grass and corn as feed crops for dairy cows raised by livestock farmers. As described below, the crop farmer inputs the production history of the feed crops he or she has produced into the first terminal 11.

The second terminal 12 is a computer such as a PC (Personal Computer) managed by the farmer's contractor, and is connected to the scales 16 and label printer 17. The scales 16 measure the mass of roll bales (products) in which forage crops such as grass are wrapped in a sheet. The label printer 17 is a printer for printing two-dimensional barcodes on labels to be affixed to the roll bales.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a roll bale and a label.
As shown in FIG. 2, a roll bale 1 is a product in which forage crops are silaged by packing the forage crops into a cylindrical shape using a sheet made of resin such as polyethylene.

A label 3 on which a two-dimensional barcode 2 is printed by a label printer 17 is attached to the roll bale 1. The two-dimensional barcode 2 is an example of identification information, and is a barcode that encodes a serial number that identifies each of the multiple roll bales 1. The serial number encoded in the two-dimensional barcode 2 is an example of an identifier. The mass of the roll bale 1, measured by the scales 16, is also printed on the label 3 in a visible state.

Domestic corn feed such as ear corn silage has high feed value, so it is expected that it will be traded by mass rather than by piece. Therefore, by printing the mass on the label 3 in this way, sellers and buyers can easily visually confirm the mass of the roll bale 1, making it easier to trade the roll bale 1 by mass.

In this example, the two-dimensional barcode 2 is printed on the label 3, but this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, an IC tag may be used instead of the label 3, and identification information encoded with a serial number may be stored in the IC tag. In this case, a device that stores identification information in an IC tag may be used instead of the label printer 17, and the second terminal 12 may output an instruction to the device to store the identification information in the IC tag. The label 3 and the IC tag are examples of media in which identification information is stored.

Referring again to FIG.
The third terminal 13 is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone managed by a livestock farmer. For example, the livestock farmer raises livestock such as dairy cows by feeding the livestock with feed crops produced by the crop farmer.

The fourth terminal 14 is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone managed by a transport company that transports the roll bale 1 from the crop farmer to the livestock farmer. For example, the transport company inputs the transport history of the roll bale 1 into the fourth terminal.

On the other hand, the server 15 is an example of an information processing device, and is a computer connected to the first to fourth terminals 11 to 14 via a network 18 such as the Internet.

Next, we will explain the functional configuration of each of the first to fourth terminals 11 to 14 and the server 15.

FIG. 3A is a functional configuration diagram of the first terminal 11. As shown in FIG.
3A, the first terminal 11 has a storage unit 21, a control unit 22, and an imaging unit 24. Among these, the storage unit 21 stores production history information 23 of feed crops produced by a farmer.

FIG. 6A is a schematic diagram of the production history information 23.
The production history information 23 is information that associates the production history of feed crops with the fields in which the feed crops were cultivated. In the example of FIG. 6(a), the production history of corn in "Field A" is stored in the production history information 23. The production history is information that associates the content of production work, such as "compost spreading," with the date on which it was performed. For example, in "compost spreading," the amount of compost applied per unit area, "85 t/10 a," is associated with the date on which it was spread, "4/23 (Tue)," and is stored in the production history information 23.

In this example, each time a task such as "compost spreading" is performed, the worker inputs production history information 23, including the task content, date, and field, into the first terminal 11.

The production history information 23 may also include image data of pre-harvested feed crops.

FIG. 6B is a schematic diagram of an image represented by the image data.
For example, when an operator photographs an unharvested feed crop with the camera of the first terminal 11 , the first terminal 11 stores image data 19 representing the image in the storage unit 21 together with the production history information 23 .

Refer again to FIG.
The control unit 22 is a processing unit that controls each unit of the first terminal 11, and has a receiving unit 25 and a notifying unit 26.

The reception unit 25 is a processing unit that receives input of the production history information 23 from the worker. The notification unit 26 is a processing unit that notifies the server 15 of the production history information 23 via the network 18.

The imaging unit 24 captures images of the forage crops growing in the field, and stores image data 19 (see FIG. 6(b)) representing the images of the forage crops in the storage unit 21 together with the production history information 23.

FIG. 3B is a functional configuration diagram of the second terminal 12.
3B, the second terminal 12 includes a control unit 31 that controls each unit of the second terminal 12. As an example, the control unit 31 includes a determination unit 32, an acquisition unit 33, a notification unit 34, and an output unit 35.

Among these, the determination unit 32 determines the serial number indicated by the two-dimensional barcode 2 for each roll bale 1.

The acquisition unit 33 is a processing unit that acquires the weight of the roll bale 1 from the scale 16. The notification unit 34 is a processing unit that associates the serial number of the roll bale 1 determined by the determination unit 32 with the field in which the roll bale 1 was cultivated and notifies the server 15. Note that the field in which the roll bale 1 was cultivated may be input to the second terminal 12, for example, by a contractor's worker.

The output unit 35 is a processing unit that outputs an instruction to the label printer 17 to print a two-dimensional barcode 2 encoding the serial number determined by the determination unit 32 onto a label 3. The output unit 35 also outputs an instruction to the label printer 17 to print the mass measured by the scale 16. As described above, an IC tag may be used instead of the label 3. In that case, the output unit 35 outputs an instruction to a device that stores information in an IC tag to store the mass measured by the scale 16 and identification information encoded with the serial number in the IC tag.

FIG. 4A is a functional configuration diagram of the third terminal 13. As shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4A , the third terminal 13 has an input unit 39 , a storage unit 41 , a control unit 42 , an imaging unit 44 , and a display unit 47 .

Of these, the memory unit 41 stores the inventory management information 48 and the salary history information 49.

FIG. 7A is a schematic diagram of the inventory management information 48.
The inventory management information 48 is information that associates a serial number, a warehousing date, and a shipping date. Of these, the serial number is the number indicated by the two-dimensional barcode 2 or IC tag attached to the roll bale 1. The shipping date is the date that the roll bale 1 was received at the livestock farmer's warehouse. And the shipping date is the date that the roll bale 1 was consumed and removed from the warehouse.

FIG. 7( b ) is a schematic diagram of salary history information 49 .
The feeding history information 49 is information that associates the amount of feed given to livestock with the date, and is created for each serial number.

The above inventory management information 48 and feeding history information 49 are created by the livestock farmer's workers and entered into the third terminal 13.

Refer again to FIG.
The control unit 42 is a processing unit that controls each unit of the third terminal 13, and has a notification unit 40, a specification unit 45, and an acquisition unit 46.

Of these, the notification unit 40 is a processing unit that notifies the server 15 of each piece of information, namely, inventory management information 48 and salary history information 49.

The identification unit 45 is a processing unit that identifies the serial number of the roll bale 1 from the two-dimensional barcode 2 captured by the imaging unit 44.

The acquisition unit 46 acquires the production history information 23 relating to the field corresponding to the serial number identified by the identification unit 45 from the server 15. As an example, the acquisition unit 46 includes the serial number in a request to acquire the production history information 23 and notifies the server 15 of the acquisition request. Then, the acquisition unit 46 acquires the production history information 23 returned by the server 15 in response to the acquisition request.

The input unit 39 is a processing unit that accepts input of the inventory management information 48 and salary history information 49 and stores them in the memory unit 41.

The imaging unit 44 is a processing unit that captures an image of the two-dimensional barcode 2 on the label 3 attached to the roll bale 1. If an IC tag is used instead of the two-dimensional barcode 2, a reader that reads the identification information stored in the IC tag can be provided instead of the imaging unit 44.

Figure 8(a) is a schematic diagram of a two-dimensional barcode 2 captured by the imaging unit 44.

Refer again to FIG.
The display unit 47 displays the production history information 23 acquired by the acquisition unit 46 .

FIG. 8B is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display of the production history information 23.
By looking at this production history information 23, livestock farmers can understand the production history of the roll bale 1 they purchased. Also, for example, when livestock start to eat less feed, they can trace the production history information 23 and estimate which operation caused the problem.

The display unit 47 may also display an image represented by image data 19 included in the production history information 23.

FIG. 8C is a schematic diagram showing a display example in this case.
By looking at these images, livestock farmers can understand the condition of feed crops as they grow.

FIG. 4B is a functional configuration diagram of the fourth terminal 14.
As shown in FIG. 4B , the fourth terminal 14 has a storage unit 51 , a control unit 52 , and an imaging unit 54 .

Of these, the memory unit 51 stores the transportation history information 53.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of the transportation history information 53.
The transportation history information 53 is information that associates the serial number of the roll bale 1 indicated by the two-dimensional barcode 2 with the transportation history of the roll bale 1. As an example, the transportation history information 53 is information that associates the shipping date when the roll bale 1 was shipped from the contractor, the delivery date when the roll bale was delivered to the livestock farmer, and the serial number.

Refer again to FIG.
The imaging unit 54 is a processing unit that captures an image of the two-dimensional barcode 2. When an IC tag is used instead of the two-dimensional barcode 2, a reader that reads the identification information stored in the IC tag may be provided instead of the imaging unit 54. The control unit 52 is a processing unit that controls each unit of the fourth terminal 14, and has a specification unit 55 and a notification unit 56.

Among these, the identification unit 55 identifies the serial number indicated by the two-dimensional barcode 2 captured by the imaging unit 54. The notification unit 56 is a processing unit that notifies the server 15 via the network 18 of the transportation history information 53 in association with the serial number, and also stores the transportation history information 53 in the memory unit 51.

For example, when a carrier ships a roll bale 1, the imaging unit 54 captures the image of the two-dimensional barcode 2, and the identification unit 55 identifies the serial number indicated by the two-dimensional barcode 2. The notification unit 56 then automatically obtains the current date from the Internet as the shipping date, and associates the shipping date with the serial number and stores them in the transportation history information 53.

When the product is delivered, the imaging unit 54 captures the image of the two-dimensional barcode 2, and the identification unit 55 identifies the serial number indicated by the two-dimensional barcode 2. The notification unit 56 then automatically obtains the current date from the Internet as the delivery date, and stores the delivery date and the serial number in association with each other in the transportation history information 53.

FIG. 5 is a functional configuration diagram of the server 15.
5, the server 15 has a storage unit 61 and a control unit 62. Of these, the storage unit 61 stores the production history information 23, the demand amount information 43, the inventory management information 48, the pay history information 49, and the transportation history information 53.
Fig. 10(a) is a schematic diagram of the demand information 43. The demand information 43 is information indicating the demand for feed crops that livestock farmers will need in the future, and is created by the server 15 for each feed crop. Fig. 10(a) illustrates the demand information 43 for corn. According to this demand information 43, the demand for corn expected in 2020 is XX t.

Referring again to FIG. 5, the control unit 62 is a processing unit that controls each part of the server 15, and has an acquisition unit 66, a creation unit 67, and a notification unit 68.

The acquisition unit 66 is a processing unit that acquires each of the production history information 23, inventory management information 48, pay history information 49, and transportation history information 53 via the network 18 and stores each of these pieces of information in the memory unit 61.

The acquisition unit 66 may also acquire future weather information via the network 18. Such weather information includes forecast data such as temperature data and day length data provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency or the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization.

The creation unit 67 is a processing unit that creates the above-mentioned demand information 43 and stores it in the memory unit 51. Furthermore, the creation unit 67 creates plan information 63 that indicates a production plan for feed crops based on the production history information 23 and the demand information 43, and stores it in the memory unit 51.

FIG. 10B is a schematic diagram of the plan information 63.
10B, the plan information 63 is information that associates tasks such as "plowing" and "fertilization" with the dates on which the tasks are scheduled to be performed. The plan information 63 may also store the amount of compost to be spread or the amount of fertilizer to be applied to the field during the tasks.

As described above, the second terminal 12 associates the serial number of the roll bale 1 with the field in which the roll bale 1 was cultivated and notifies the server 15. The creation unit 67 creates plan information 63 indicating a production plan for the feed crop in the notified field. The creation method is not particularly limited. For example, the creation unit 67 may create a machine learning model indicating the relationship between the past production history information 23 corresponding to the notified field and the actual amount of the feed crop produced in the field according to the production history information 23. In this case, the creation unit 67 inputs the demand indicated by the demand amount information 43 into the machine learning model to create plan information 63 including a daily work plan required to obtain the demand amount indicated by the demand amount information 43.

The creation unit 67 may also create the plan information 63 using future weather information acquired by the acquisition unit 66. As an example, the creation unit 67 may create a machine learning model that indicates the interrelationships between the past production history information 23, the actual amount of feed crops produced according to the production history information 23, and the past weather information. In this case, the creation unit 67 inputs the demand indicated by the demand information 43 and the future weather information acquired by the acquisition unit 66 into the machine learning model, thereby creating the plan information 63 that includes a daily work plan required to obtain the demand indicated by the demand information 43 under given future weather conditions.

Referring again to FIG.
The notification unit 68 is a processing unit that notifies the first terminal 11 of the plan information 63 created by the creation unit 67. Furthermore, when there is a request to acquire the production history information 23 from the acquisition unit 46 of the third terminal 13, the notification unit 68 notifies the third terminal 13 of the production history information 23 related to the field corresponding to the serial number included in the acquisition request.

Next, we will explain the production management method according to this embodiment.

11 and 12 are sequence diagrams of the production management method according to this embodiment.
First, the reception unit 25 of the first terminal 11 receives input of the production history information 23 from the farmer (step S1), and the notification unit 26 notifies the server 15 of the production history information 23 (step S2).

Next, after the crops for feeding are harvested at the farm, the contractor's workers wrap the crops for feeding in a sheet to create a roll bale 1 (step S3).

Then, the determination unit 32 of the second terminal 12 determines the serial number of the roll bale 1 (step S4). After that, the notification unit 34 of the second terminal 12 associates the serial number of the roll bale 1 with the field in which the roll bale 1 was grown and notifies the server 15 (step S5).

Next, the contractor's worker places the roll bale 1 on the scale 16, and the mass of the roll bale 1 measured by the scale 16 is acquired by the acquisition unit 33 of the second terminal 12 (step S6).

Then, the output unit 35 of the second terminal 12 outputs an instruction to the label printer 17 to print on the label 3 a two-dimensional barcode 2 that encodes the serial number determined in step S4 (step S7). At this time, the output unit 35 also outputs an instruction to the label printer 17 to print the mass of the roll bale 1 obtained in step S6.

Next, the label printer 17 that receives these instructions prints the mass of the roll bale 1 and the two-dimensional barcode 2 on the label 3 (step S8). Note that an IC tag may be used instead of the label 3.

Then, a contractor worker attaches the label 3 to the roll bale 1 (step S9). If an IC tag is used instead of the label 3, the worker attaches the IC tag to the roll bale 1.

With these steps, the contractor is now ready to ship roll bale 1.

Next, when the roll bale 1 is shipped, the imaging unit 54 of the fourth terminal 14 managed by the carrier captures an image of the two-dimensional barcode 2, and the identification unit 55 identifies the serial number indicated by the two-dimensional barcode 2 (step S10).

Then, the notification unit 56 of the fourth terminal 14 notifies the server 15 of the transportation history information 53 in which the current date is set as the shipping date (step S11). For example, the notification unit 56 obtains the current date as the shipping date from the Internet, and notifies the server 15 of the transportation history information 53 in which the serial number identified in step S10 is associated with the shipping date.

Next, when the roll bale 1 is delivered to the livestock farmer, the imaging unit 54 of the fourth terminal 14 managed by the transport company captures an image of the two-dimensional barcode 2, and the identification unit 55 identifies the serial number indicated by the two-dimensional barcode 2 (step S12).

Next, the notification unit 56 of the fourth terminal 14 notifies the server 15 of the transportation history information 53 in which the current date is set as the delivery date (step S13). For example, the notification unit 56 obtains the current date as the delivery date from the Internet, and notifies the server 15 of the transportation history information 53 that associates the serial number identified in step S12 with the delivery date.

This allows the server 15 to manage the transportation history information 53, which includes the serial number, shipping date, and delivery date. The third terminal 13 managed by the livestock farmer may request the server 15 to obtain the transportation history information 53, and in response to the request, the server 15 may notify the third terminal 13 of the transportation history information 53. This allows the livestock farmer to know the transportation history of the roll bale 1 that he or she has purchased.

Next, a worker at the livestock farmer photographs the barcode 2 with the third terminal 13 to check the production history of the delivered roll bale 1, and this triggers the identification unit 45 to identify the serial number indicated by the barcode 2 affixed to the roll bale 1 (step S14).
Next, the acquisition unit 46 of the third terminal 13 notifies the server 15 of a request to acquire the production history information 23, including the serial number (step S15).

At this point, because the serial numbers and fields have been associated in step S5, the server 15 can identify the field corresponding to the serial number notified in step S15. The notification unit 68 of the server 15 then identifies the field corresponding to the serial number notified in step S15, and notifies the third terminal 13 of the production history information 23 corresponding to that field (step S16).

Then, the acquisition unit 46 of the third terminal 13 acquires the production history information 23 (step S17), and the display unit 47 of the third terminal 13 displays the production history information 23 (step S18).

This allows livestock farmers to know the production history of the livestock crops contained in the roll bale 1 they purchased.

Next, the input unit 39 of the third terminal 13 accepts the input of the inventory management information 48 (step S19), and the notification unit 40 notifies the server 15 of the inventory management information 48 (step S20).

Then, the input unit 39 of the third terminal 13 accepts the input of the salary history information 49 (step S21). Then, the notification unit 40 notifies the server 15 of the salary history information 49 and the serial number corresponding to the salary history information 49 (step S22).

Then, the creation unit 67 of the server 15 creates the demand information 43 (step S23). There is no particular limitation on the method of creating the demand information 43. As an example, the server 15 uses the feeding history information 43 notified from the third terminal 13 as input information, and generates the demand information 43 based on the input information. Note that the third terminal 13 may notify the server 15 of production history information indicating the production history of the milk volume etc. generated by a milking robot etc., and production plan information indicating the production plan of the number of head, milk volume etc. created by the livestock farmer. In this case, the creation unit 67 of the server 15 creates the demand information 43 using each of the demand information 43, production history information, and production plan information as input information.

Then, the acquisition unit 66 of the server 15 acquires future weather information provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency and the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (step S24).

Then, the creation unit 67 of the server 15 creates plan information 63 indicating a production plan for the feed crop in the field corresponding to the serial number notified in step S5 based on the production history information 23 and the demand information 43 (step S25). Note that in addition to the production history information 23 and the demand information 43, the creation unit 67 may create the plan information 63 using the weather information acquired in step S24.

Then, the notification unit 68 of the server 15 notifies the first terminal 11 of the plan information 63 (step S26).

This completes the basic processing of the production management method according to this embodiment.

According to the present embodiment described above, the server 15 creates plan information 63 indicating a production plan for feed crops in the field corresponding to the serial number notified in step S15 based on the production history information 23 and the demand information 43 (step S26). By having the crop farmers cultivate feed crops based on the plan information 63, the crop farmers can produce feed crops that meet the needs of livestock farmers, and it becomes possible for crop farmers and livestock farmers to work together to produce feed crops.

Moreover, in this embodiment, a two-dimensional barcode 2 encoding a serial number is attached to the roll bale 1. Therefore, the third terminal 13 can identify the serial number from the two-dimensional barcode 2, and the livestock farmer's worker can create feeding history information 49 that associates the serial number with the feeding amount. Similarly, the livestock farmer's worker can also create inventory management information 48 that associates the serial number 13 identified by the third terminal 13 with the entry date and the delivery date.

Furthermore, the contents of the two-dimensional barcode 2 cannot be understood by a human being simply by looking at it, so it is safe from a security standpoint in that it is difficult for others to identify the serial number indicated by the two-dimensional barcode 2. The same is true when an IC tag is used instead of the label 3 on which the two-dimensional barcode 2 is printed.

(Hardware configuration)
FIG. 13 shows the hardware configuration of the first to fourth terminals 11 to 14.

As shown in FIG. 13, the first to fourth terminals 11 to 14 each have a storage device 71, a memory 72, a processor 73, a camera 74, a communication interface 75, a touch panel 76, and a media reader 77. These components are interconnected by a bus 79.

Of these, the storage device 71 is a non-volatile storage such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD), and stores the terminal production management program 100 according to this embodiment.

The terminal production management program 100 may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium 78, and the processor 73 may read the terminal production management program 100 via the medium reading device 77.

Such recording media 78 include physically portable recording media such as CD-ROMs (Compact Disc Read only memory), DVDs (Digital Versatile Discs), and USB (Universal Serial Bus) memories. Semiconductor memories such as flash memories and hard disk drives may also be used as recording media 78. These recording media 78 are not temporary media such as carrier waves that do not have a physical form.

Furthermore, the terminal production management program 100 may be stored in a device connected to a public line, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), etc. In that case, the processor 73 may read and execute the terminal production management program 100.

Memory 72, on the other hand, is hardware that temporarily stores data, such as DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), on which the terminal production management program 100 is deployed.
