Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention discloses an agricultural work management system using a code scanner that allows for the efficient management of agricultural work and crop conditions by coding work types and pest information, assigning location codes to each plant, and scanning the corresponding codes with a scanner. The disclosed agricultural work management system includes a codebook in which work type codes and problem codes are recorded, a location code attached to a crop, a code scanner for scanning the work type codes, problem codes, or location codes in the codebook and transmitting them to a server, and a real-time agricultural work management server that, when a work type code and a location code are received through the code scanner, determines the corresponding location as the work start location and records work start information along with the code reception time, interprets the problem code and records that the interpreted problem has occurred at the corresponding location when a problem code and a location code are received through the code scanner during the work, determines the corresponding location as the work end location and records work end information along with the code reception time, and analyzes work data after the work is finished to manage agricultural work.

Description

Method and system for managing agricultural work using a code scanner The present invention relates to a method and system for managing agricultural work to efficiently manage human labor and crop conditions in facility horticulture. More specifically, it relates to a method and system for managing agricultural work using a code scanner, which encodes work types and pest information, assigns location codes to each plant, and enables a worker to efficiently manage agricultural work and crop conditions by scanning the corresponding codes with a code scanner. Generally, facility horticulture refers to the cultivation of crops in greenhouses, plastic greenhouses, or other artificial environments. By creating a manageable environment to optimize plant growth regardless of weather or season, it can increase the yield and quality of specific crops, and in particular, enables year-round production without being constrained by the season. Typically, greenhouse horticulture requires a large workforce with extensive experience in farming operations because it primarily cultivates high-value crops and premium crops with high import dependency in large-scale facilities. However, because the greenhouse is large and crops hanging higher than a person's height obstruct the manager's view, workers are likely to work at a slow pace to avoid the manager's gaze, or engage in chatting, watching videos, or making phone calls while working, which leads to the problem of excessive labor waste during the crop cultivation process. In addition, when the same crop is cultivated at equal intervals over a large area in a greenhouse, there are problems such as the difficulty for workers to locate the same work area and the inadequate information transmission system regarding internal diseases and pests. Furthermore, since foreign workers constitute the vast majority of agricultural workers in recent years, there is also a problem where the reporting system is not prompt or accurate due to language and cultural differences between managers and workers. Meanwhile, the “unmanned remote plant cultivation system in which plant information is managed by barcode” (hereinafter referred to as “Patent Document 1”), published in the Registered Patent Publication No. 10-2356891 of the Korean Intellectual Property Office, allows for easy management of plant information by accumulating and storing information such as the type of plant, transplanting date, producer, and expected shipment date of plants grown on each plant cultivation platform that moves up and down along the chain of the plant cultivation device, in a barcode or QR code assigned to each plant, and enables unmanned remote plant cultivation by providing a device that provides a suitable growth environment, such as temperature and humidity, unmanned according to the condition of the plant or the surrounding environment. In addition, the “Farm Cloud Server and Complex Environmental Control Device for Greenhouses Used in a Farm Cloud System” (hereinafter referred to as “Patent Document 2”), published under registration number 10-2018526, utilizes Big Data to recognize environmental sensors and actuators installed in a greenhouse from the initial stage of crop cultivation to the harvesting stage without the help of experts, and generates and provides actuator operation rule information based on the combination thereof.
