Abstract
To provide a method for determining a mounting condition to be set for at least one apparatus among apparatuses for manufacturing component-mounted boards. The method includes: determining, from among the apparatuses, a specific apparatus which satisfies a predetermined standard in performance associated with a manufacturing operation; obtaining the mounting condition associated with the manufacturing operation from the specific apparatus determined in the determining; and setting the mounting condition obtained in the obtaining for an apparatus other than the specific apparatus.
Claims9
A component mounting method for determining a mounting condition to be set for at least one apparatus among apparatuses for manufacturing boards on which components are mounted, and mounting the components onto the boards at the at least one apparatus for which the mounting condition has been set, said component mounting method comprising:
- determining, from among the apparatuses, a specific apparatus which satisfies a predetermined standard in performance associated with a manufacturing operation;
- obtaining a mounting condition associated with the manufacturing operation from the specific apparatus determined in said determining;
- and
- setting the mounting condition obtained in said obtaining for a first apparatus that is one of the apparatuses and that is not the specific apparatus,
- wherein, in said obtaining, the first apparatus obtains the mounting condition from the specific apparatus without receiving an instruction for obtaining the mounting condition from outside the first apparatus,
- wherein said component mounting method further comprises:
- collecting performance information indicating the performance associated with the manufacturing operation from the first apparatus and another apparatus;
- and
- comparing a performance of the first apparatus with a performance of the other apparatus, the respective performances being associated with the manufacturing operation and indicated by the performance information collected in said collecting, and
- wherein, in a case where the comparison in said comparing shows that the performance of the other apparatus is higher than the performance of the first apparatus, the first apparatus obtains the mounting condition associated with the manufacturing operation of the other apparatus, the other apparatus being the specific apparatus in said obtaining.
A component mounting method for determining a mounting condition to be set for at least one apparatus among apparatuses for manufacturing boards on which components are mounted, and mounting the components onto the boards at the at least one apparatus for which the mounting condition has been set, said component mounting method comprising:
- determining, from among the apparatuses, a specific apparatus which satisfies a predetermined standard in performance associated with a manufacturing operation;
- obtaining a mounting condition associated with the manufacturing operation from the specific apparatus determined in said determining;
- and
- setting the mounting condition obtained in said obtaining for a first apparatus that is one of the apparatuses and that is not the specific apparatus,
- wherein each of the apparatuses belongs to one of groups classified based on attributes of the apparatuses,
- wherein said component mounting method further comprises identifying apparatuses belonging to a predetermined group based on identification information for identifying each of the apparatuses,
- wherein, in said determining, the specific apparatus is determined from among the apparatuses belonging to the predetermined group identified in said identifying,
- wherein said component mounting method is executed by the first apparatus,
- wherein the predetermined group is a group to which the first apparatus belongs, and
- wherein, in said determining, one of apparatuses that is in the predetermined group and provides a performance higher than a performance of the first apparatus is determined as the specific apparatus which satisfies the predetermined standard, the respective performances being associated with the manufacturing operation.
