  • Patent number: 9317827
    Abstract: A farm work management system includes a communication apparatus for transmitting location information of a worker carrying out a farm work and a farm work management apparatus for managing a progress of the farm work based on the location information transmitted from the communication apparatus. The communication apparatus includes a notifying unit for notifying the farm work management apparatus to the effect that the farm work is started or the farm work is finished in a case where an operation unit receives the predetermined operation. The farm work management apparatus includes a work location identifying unit for identifying the work location based on the location information transmitted from the communication apparatus, a calculating unit for calculating an estimated work time from read information, and a transmitting unit for transmitting to the communication apparatus the information about the read work content and the estimated work time having been calculated.

  • Patent number: 8967075
    Abstract: When the coating object area is positioned on the suction table, the film is stopped and is mounted on the suction table, and is further provided with tension in the longitudinal direction to eliminate slacks or the like, but, curl is caused in the both side end regions in the coating object area. Therefore, the coating object area is mounted on the suction table, and at the same time, the curl correction bars disposed on the both sides of the suction table are moved to the curled portions of the coating object area, and then the curled portions are pressed against the suction surface of the suction table to thereby perform the curl correction. Further, in the coating process with the UV-curing coating material, the UV light from the UV light source formed integrally with the coating head is applied to cure the material. In the vacuum suction section, as the destination, the bubbles or the like in the coating head are sucked.

  • Patent number: 8757761
    Abstract: A film paid out from a feed side film roll is conveyed so that an application target area of the film is located on a suction table in an application portion. Image-capturing cameras are disposed so as to be adjacent to ink-jet application heads so that one application head and one image-capturing camera are integrated with each other in terms of position of installation to form one application head unit portion. Each application head unit portion is moved above the suction table by a three-dimensionally movable XYZ-direction driving unit. A position where application will be performed next is image-captured by each of the image-capturing cameras in advance during the applying operation due to each of the application heads. A result of image capturing by each of the image-capturing cameras is processed by an image processing unit.
