Air Compressor and Work Management Data Collection System
First Claim
1. An air compressor for supplying compressed air to a pneumatic tool, the air compressor comprising:
- a clocking unit configured to clock time;
a read and write unit configured to read and write data through wireless communications to and from a storage medium having a wireless communication unit; and
a controller configured to write a time data clocked by the clocking unit into a worker data storage medium using the. read and write unit, when the read and write unit detects the worker data storage medium held by a worker as the storage medium.

Abstract
An air compressor 1 is provided with a clocking mechanism and an RFID reader/writer 2, detects a time-in and a time-out etc. of a worker, and writes time data into an RFID tag 4 of a time card 3 held by a worker using the RFID reader/writer 2. The air compressor 1 is made to function as a time recorder in order to collect data necessary for management from the time card 3 of the worker. Also, a type of tool etc. used during works is written to the RFID tag 4 of the time card 3 using the RFID reader/writer. In this way, the air compressor 1 is made to function as a data collection terminal to collect data necessary for work management from the time card 3 of the worker.
