CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240193385 titled 'CONTROL SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a control system that attaches a mark to a returnable box, reads the mark to gather information about the box, analyzes an image of the mark, and records the information in a database along with other relevant data.

  • Key Features and Innovation:
   - Mark attached to returnable box for identification
   - Mark reading portion picks up box and gathers information
   - Image analyzing portion analyzes image of mark
   - Database construction by associating box information with time and order data

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in logistics and inventory management systems to track returnable boxes and their contents accurately.

Problems Solved: The technology addresses the challenge of efficiently identifying and tracking returnable boxes in a control system.

Benefits: - Improved accuracy in tracking returnable boxes - Streamlined inventory management processes - Enhanced data organization and analysis capabilities

Commercial Applications: The technology could be applied in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities to optimize inventory control and streamline operations.

Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research on automated identification and tracking systems in logistics and supply chain management.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring advancements in image recognition technology and database management systems to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of tracking returnable boxes.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the mark reading portion of the control system gather information about the returnable box? 2. What are the potential implications of integrating this technology into existing inventory management systems?


Original Abstract Submitted

in a control system, at least one first mark indicating information on at least the returnable box is attached to a returnable box, and a mark reading portion for picking up the returnable box, an image analyzing portion for analyzing an image, of the first mark of the returnable box, picked up by the mark reading portion and acquiring the information on the returnable box and record controlling portion for constructing a database by associating the information on the returnable box acquired by the image analyzing portion with at least one of information on time and information on an order of the molding member.
