Patent ID: 8051384

Claim:
An on-site system construction support tool for providing system construction support by causing a display device to display a configuration example of an on-site system which includes a plurality of self-propelled, movable, or portable machines and processes target materials on-site, the on-site system construction support tool causing computation means to execute the steps of: causing the display device to open a process window having a plurality of process buttons, which are marked to identify processes required for the on-site system; when one of the process buttons is operated, causing the display device to open a setup window for specifying the machine to be used in the associated process; and calculating a burden which is imposed on the environment by the on-site system when the on-site system is constructed in accordance with predefined information concerning the fuel consumption of the machine specified from the setup window and with the amount of work, and displaying the calculated burden on the display device; wherein the on-site system is a waste processing system which includes at least a sorting machine, which sorts recyclable raw materials out from waste, and a supply machine, which supplies waste to the sorting machine, the on-site system construction support tool causing computation means to execute the steps of: causing the display device to open a process window having a plurality of process buttons, which are marked to identify a sorting process and other processes required for the waste processing system; when one of the process buttons is operated, causing the display device to open a setup window for specifying the machine to be used in the associated process; and calculating a burden which is imposed on the environment by the waste processing system when the waste processing system is constructed in accordance with predefined information concerning the fuel consumption of the machine specified from the setup window and with the amount of work, and displaying the calculated burden on the display device.
