Abstract

Provided is a work assistance device that enables the working time of a worker to be reduced in a reliable manner. A work assistance device according to one embodiment of the present invention is equipped with: a reading means and a projection control means. The reading means sequentially reads from a work storage means, in accordance with the order of the steps of work performed by a worker, a projection data set for each of the steps. The work storage means stores a work procedure wherein the projection data set is associated with the order of the steps, said projection data set including an indication display that includes a visually recognizable visual representation which indicates, for each of the steps, a location where the work for that step is performed and a member to be handled in the work for that step. In response to the reading of the projection data set the projection control means uses a projection means to project the indication display included in the projection data set, said indication display being projected during an indication display projection time, which is a projection time that has been determined for that indication display.

Dependent claims

A work assistance device comprising:

a memory that stores a set of instructions;
and
at least one first processor configured to execute the set of instructions to:
read a projection data set for each process, according to a sequence number of the process, from work storage that stores a work procedure in which the projection data set is associated with a sequence number of the process, the projection data set including an indication display including a visually recognizable visual representation indicating, for each process of work performed by a worker, a position where work in a process is performed and a member handled in work in the process;
and
project, by a projector, the indication display included in the projection data set, upon readout of the projection data set, for a period of an indication display projection time being a projection time determined for the indication display.

3 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a work assistance program causing a computer to perform:

reading processing of successively reading a projection data set for each process, according to a sequence number of the process, from work storage that stores a work procedure in which the projection data set is associated with a sequence number of the process, the projection data set including an indication display including a visually recognizable visual representation indicating, for each process of work performed by a worker, a position where work in a process is performed and a member handled in work in the process;
and
projection control processing of projecting, by a projector, the indication display included in the projection data set, upon readout of the projection data set, for a period of an indication display projection time being a projection time determined for the indication display.
