Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A packaging system according to an aspect is a packaging system formed by connecting an external server to a plurality of packaging apparatuses via a network. The external server stores control parameters for the packaging apparatuses to package an article to be packaged in an optimal state. The packaging apparatus communicates with the external server, downloads necessary control parameters, and controls a packaging operation by using the downloaded control parameters. Accordingly, a setting operation performed in each of the packaging apparatuses can be significantly reduced.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A packaging system formed by connecting an external server to a plurality of packaging apparatuses via a network, wherein the external server stores control parameters for the packaging apparatuses to package an article to be packaged in an optimal state, and the packaging apparatus includes a communication unit configured to communicate with the external server and download the control parameters, a storage unit configured to store the control parameters downloaded by the communication unit, and a control unit configured to control a packaging operation on the basis of the control parameters stored in the storage unit. 2 . The packaging system according to claim 1 , wherein the external server is a server device which provides a cloud computing service. 3 . The packaging system according to claim 1 , wherein the packaging apparatus is a stretch packaging apparatus which pushes up the article to be packaged from below toward a stretch film that is held in tension, and folds a peripheral edge portion of the film toward a lower surface of the article to be packaged. 4 . The packaging system according to claim 1 , wherein, when control parameters for packaging by using a new commodity, a new tray, or a new film are newly set and registered in any packaging apparatus among the plurality of packaging apparatuses, the communication unit of the corresponding packaging apparatus uploads information regarding the article to be packaged and the control parameters to the external server. 5 . The packaging system according to claim 1 , wherein a tray master stored in the storage unit stores, for each of tray numbers, tray sizes corresponding to the tray numbers and control parameters corresponding to the tray sizes.
