Abstract
A production line management system that registers and manages distribution data for each of a plurality of production lines, and thus, manages work data in a unitary manner. The management system being constructed to manage production in a plurality of the production lines with a small amount of data and to simplify a system configuration. In particular, the distribution data is created by an identifier added to work data.
Claims19
A management system for production lines producing products, the management system comprising:
- component mounting machines arranged on the production lines, at least one of the production lines manufacturing a substrate;
- and
- a management computer configured to:
- store configuration data of the component mounting machines that configures production and work data regarding work to produce the products,
- create distribution data for distributing the work data to the component mounting machines based on the configuration data such that a work time of each of the component mounting machines is made equal,
- register and manage the distribution data for each of the production lines,
- distribute the work data to the component mounting machines based upon the distribution data, the work data including a mounting position of each of a plurality of components expressed by a coordinate system of the substrate and not including a mounting position of any of the plurality of components expressed by a coordinate system of the component mounting machines, and
- convert the mounting position of each of the plurality of components expressed by the coordinate system of the substrate included in the work data to the mounting position of each of the plurality of components expressed by the coordinate system of the component mounting machines based on a sequence of mounting each of the plurality of components, wherein
- each of the plurality of components is mounted at the converted mounting position of each of the plurality of components expressed by the coordinate system of the component mounting machines.
