Abstract
Necessary unit data indicative of the type and number of equipment units used in component mounting operation is obtained on the basis of production plan data, mounting data, and component library for each of production lots in advance. New allocation processing for allocating an equipment unit necessary for production execution of a new production lot to be newly produced on an electronic component mounting line for the new production lot on the basis of the necessary unit data is executed, and component reservation processing for registering the allocation result as the inventory data is conducted by a unit reservation unit.
Claims8
An electronic component mounting system for mounting an electronic component on a substrate to manufacture a mounting substrate, the system comprising:
- an electronic component mounting line configured to execute component mounting operation for mounting the electronic component;
- a production plan data storage unit configured to store production plan data including at least a type of substrate, a production time, and number of productions for each production lot of the mounting substrate to be produced on the electronic component mounting line;
- a mounting data storage unit configured to store therein mounting data indicative of a type and number of electronic components used in the component mounting operation for each type of substrate;
- a component library data storage unit configured to store therein conformity information indicative of each electronic component name linked with a nozzle, feeder, head falling speed, and recognition mode;
- an inventory data storage unit configured to store therein inventory data indicative of a reservation status of equipment units, wherein the equipment units include at least a part feeder that supplies the electronic components and a nozzle that adsorbs and holds the electronic components therein, and wherein the reservation status corresponds to a start date and an end date of the production time included the production plan data;
- a necessary unit data creation unit configured to create necessary unit data indicative of a type and number of equipment units to be used in producing a new production lot based on the production plan data and the mounting data for each of the production lots;
- and
- a unit reservation unit configured to
- allocate, for the new production lot, at least one equipment unit necessary for production execution of the new production lot based on the necessary unit data, and
- conduct unit reservation processing for registering the allocated at least one equipment unit in the inventory data storage unit.
An equipment unit management method in an electronic component mounting system for mounting an electronic component on a substrate to manufacture a mounting substrate, which manages an equipment unit used in component mounting operation, the electronic component mounting system comprising:
- an electronic component mounting line configured to execute the component mounting operation for mounting the electronic component;
- a production plan data storage unit configured to store production plan data including at least a type of substrate, a production time, and number of productions for each production lot of the mounting substrate to be produced on the electronic component mounting line;
- a mounting data storage unit configured to store therein mounting data indicative of a type and number of electronic components used in the component mounting operation for each type of substrate;
- a component library data storage unit configured to store therein conformity information indicative of each electronic component name linked with a nozzle, feeder, head falling speed, and recognition mode;
- an inventory data storage unit configured to store therein inventory data indicative of a reservation status of equipment units, wherein the equipment units include at least a part feeder that supplies the electronic components and a nozzle that adsorbs and holds the electronic components therein, and wherein the reservation status corresponds to a start date and an end date of the production time included the production plan data;
- and
- a necessary unit data creation unit configured to create necessary unit data indicative of a type and number of equipment units to be used in producing a new production lot based on the production plan data and the mounting data for each of the production lots,
- the equipment unit management method comprising:
- allocating, for the new production lot, at least one equipment unit necessary for production execution of the new production lot based on the necessary unit data;
- and
- conducting unit reservation processing for registering the allocated at least one equipment unit in the inventory data storage unit.
