Abstract
A control device includes a control unit configured to acquire target data indicating a production target in a factory and detect production progress in the factory, compare the production target indicated by the acquired target data with the detected production progress, and predict, based on an obtained comparison result, a finishing time period within which one or more users working in the factory are expected to finish work and adjust, based on the predicted finishing time period, a time period within which one or more vehicles for commuting are expected to transport the one or more users.
Claims20
A control device comprising a control unit configured to:
- acquire target data indicating a production target in a factory and detect production progress in the factory;
- compare the production target indicated by the acquired target data with the detected production progress;
- and
- predict, based on an obtained comparison result, a finishing time period within which one or more users working in the factory are expected to finish work and adjust, based on the predicted finishing time period, a time period within which one or more vehicles for commuting are expected to transport the one or more users.
An adjustment method comprising:
- acquiring, by a control unit, target data indicating a production target in a factory;
- detecting, by the control unit, production progress in the factory;
- comparing, by the control unit, the production target indicated by the acquired target data with the detected production progress;
- predicting, by the control unit, a finishing time period within which one or more users working in the factory are expected to finish work based on an obtained comparison result;
- and
- adjusting, by the control unit, a time period within which one or more vehicles for commuting are expected to transport the one or more users based on the predicted finishing time period.
