Abstract
A failure of a machine or the like is rapidly detected to efficiently operate the machine. A cell control device of a production system includes a product information monitoring unit for monitoring the product information, a component supply state monitoring unit for monitoring plural kinds of components to be supplied to at least one cell and the number of each kind of components, and a notification unit which transmits a notice to a higher-level management controller when the number of each kind of components, which is monitored by the component supply state monitoring unit, deviates from a predetermined range determined for each kind of components.
Claims8
