Claims24
A control system for controlling a molding member stored in at least one box, with at least one first mark indicating information on the at least one box, in which the molding member molded by an injection molding machine is stored, the control system comprising:
- a first image pickup means for picking up an image of the first mark on the box;
- an acquiring means for analyzing the image, of the first mark on the box, picked up by the first image pickup means and acquiring the information on the box indicated by the first mark;
- and
- a construction means for constructing a database by associating the information on the box acquired by the acquiring means with at least one of information on time and information on order of the molding member,
- wherein the injection molding machine includes a first display portion for displaying information on at least a kind of the molding member,
- wherein the first image pickup means picks up a first image the first display portion,
- wherein the acquiring means analyzes the first image of the first display portion picked up by the first image pickup means and acquires the information on the kind, and
- wherein the construction means associates the information on the kind with the information on the box in the database.
