Abstract
It is made possible to understand the operating states of each injection molding machine (1) and the position of each operator within a molding factory at a glance and in real-time. An injection molding machine management system (100) displays the position of each injection molding machine (1) and the position of each operator within a molding factory, based on positional information of each injection molding machine (1) within the molding factory stored in advance in a storage unit (21), and operator positional information of each operator acquired by an operator positional information acquisition part (201).
Claims5
An injection molding machine management system comprising:
- a server terminal;
- and
- a plurality of injection molding machines which are communicably connected with the server terminal,
- wherein the injection molding machine includes a control unit and an input unit,
- wherein the control unit of the injections molding machine includes an injection molding machine operating information upload part that sends injection molding machine operating information of the injection molding machine to the terminal server, and an operator ID information registration processing part that transmits, to the server terminal, operator ID information of an operator who operates the injection molding machine inputted via the input unit, and injection molding machine ID information of the injection molding machine,
- wherein the server terminal includes a storage unit and a control unit,
- wherein the storage unit stores positional information of each of the injection molding machines within a molding factory,
- wherein the control unit of the server terminal has:
- an operator positional information acquisition part that acquires operator positional information within the molding factory of an operator operating each of the injection molding machines;
- an injection molding machine operating information acquisition part that acquires the injection molding machine operating information of each of the injection molding machines from each of the injection molding machines;
- and
- an injection molding machine operating state display screen generation part that generates a display screen for simultaneously displaying arrangement positions of each of the injection molding machines and a work position of each operator within the molding factory, based on operator positional information within the molding factory of the operators acquired by the operator positional information acquisition part, and positional information of the injection molding machines stored in the storage unit,
- wherein the operator positional information acquisition part acquires an arrangement position of the injection molding machine as the operator positional information of the operator, based on the operator ID information and the injection molding machine ID information transmitted from the operator ID information registration processing part, and
- wherein the injection molding machine operating state display screen generation part further generates a display screen for displaying the operating information of each of the injection molding machines within the molding factory simultaneously with the arrangement positions of the injection molding machines and work positions of each operator, based on operating information of each of the injection molding machines acquired by the injection molding machine operating information acquisition part.
