Abstract
A production adjustment system includes a cell including a plurality of machines, a cell control device which is communicably connected to the cell, to control the cell, and a higher-level management controller which is communicably connected to the cell control device, to acquire disaster information. The cell control device includes a command unit for issuing commands to the plurality of machines based on state information of the cell, which is acquired from the at least one sensor of the cell, and disaster information acquired from the higher-level management controller.
Claims11
A production adjustment system comprising:
- a cell including a plurality of machines, a plurality of machine control devices for controlling the plurality of machines, and at least one sensor;
- a cell control device which is communicably connected to the cell, to control the cell;
- and
- a higher-level management controller which is communicably connected to the cell control device, to acquire disaster information, wherein
- the cell control device includes a command unit for issuing commands to the plurality of machines based on state information of the cell, which is acquired from the at least one sensor of the cell, and disaster information acquired from the higher-level management controller;
- the cell control device further includes a determination unit for determining the sustainability of production plans for the plurality of machines based on the disaster information;
- wherein the command unit issues commands to the plurality of machines based on the sustainability of production plans determined by the determination unit;
- and
- wherein if the determination unit determines that the cell is located within a predetermined distance from a disaster occurring site, the command unit issues production stopping commands to all of the plurality of machines.
