Package material manufacturing machine management system

A management system of a package material manufacturing machine that manufactures a package material usable in distribution of articles, the management system comprising:

• printing units in a process of manufacturing the package material, printing on package material unique identification information which is usable in traceability in the distribution of the articles;
• identification information reading devices installed downstream of the printing units and reading the identification information;
• and
• machine management devices acquiring individual characteristic information of the package material, and managing the manufacturing machine on the basis of machine management information in which the acquired individual characteristic information is associated with the identification information read by the identification information reading devices,
• wherein the manufacturing machine includes a carton-forming machine that manufactures a carton-forming corrugated board from a corrugated board,
• the identification information reading device is installed on a downstream portion of the carton-forming machine,
• wherein the machine management device further comprises a defect information acquisition unit that acquires defect information of the carton-forming corrugated board transmitted from a distribution system of the articles, and
• when the defect information acquisition unit acquires the defect information, the machine management device changes manufacturing conditions of the manufacturing machine or outputs change guide information for changing the manufacturing conditions on the basis of the defect information acquired by the defect information acquisition unit.
