Abstract
There is provided casting equipment including a control device that acquires, regarding multiple processes in the casting equipment, specific data regarding casting molds in each frame, and that associates the specific data for the respective processes with the casting molds, separately for the casting molds in each frame; and a display device provided, with respect to a first process among the multiple processes and a second process later than the first process, on equipment for executing the second process. The control device displays, on the display device, the specific data for the first process associated with the casting molds that are to be processed in the second process.

Casting equipment comprising:
- a control device configured to acquire, regarding a first process among multiple processes in the casting equipment, specific data regarding casting molds, and configured to associate the specific data for the first process with identification information of the casting molds, separately for each of the casting molds;
- and
- a display device provided on equipment for executing a second process after the first process among the multiple processes;
- wherein the control device is configured to:
- display, on the display device, the specific data for the first process associated with the identification information of the casting molds that are to be processed in the second process,
- estimate, with respect to a casting mold to be processed in the second process, a first time corresponding to a position of the first process based on a second time corresponding to a position of the second process and time for changing position of the casting mold,
- acquire identification information corresponding to the casting mold based on the estimated first time, and
- associate the specific data for the second process with the acquired identification information of the casting mold.
