Description

  The present invention relates to a method for supporting production of a product by a production facility, and more particularly to a production support method for supporting production of a mounted product configured by mounting components on a substrate.

  In recent years, the production status of electronic devices has a tendency to produce many kinds and small quantities rather than small quantities and large quantities.

  Therefore, in order to cope with such high-mix low-volume production, a component mounter for specifying a product model and mounting a component such as an electronic component on a board in a mode according to the product model has been proposed (for example, a patent) Reference 1).

  This component mounter identifies the product model of the board from the board and reads mounting data corresponding to the product model from the memory. Then, the component mounter mounts the component indicated by the mounting data on the mounting point on the board indicated by the mounting data. Further, this component mounter executes error processing or the like if there is no mounting data corresponding to the product model in the memory.

That is, the component mounting machine of Patent Document 1 automatically switches the component to be mounted on the board and the mounting point according to the product model. As a result, even if the product model of the board that is sequentially loaded into the component mounter is switched, the operator does not have to bother to input mounting data according to the product model after the switch to the component mounter. Can be reduced.
Japanese Patent No. 3151877

  However, the component mounting machine has a problem that it cannot sufficiently support the production of products.

  In other words, in the above component mounter, when the product model is switched, the appropriate mounting data corresponding to the product model after the switch is automatically selected, but other work such as setup of the component mounter is performed. May be forced on the operator without notifying the operator. Examples of such operations of the operator include replacement of a parts cassette and a skip command, and these operations need to be performed by the operator. For the replacement of the component cassette, for example, only one component cassette is replaced among many component cassettes. In addition, by making the arrangement of the component cassettes (so-called Z arrangement) as common as possible to each product model, it is possible to efficiently carry out high-mix low-volume production. The skip command is a command that indicates a component that should not be mounted among the components indicated in the mounting data (the data that indicates the component to be mounted and its position). By performing the skip command as described above for a component mounter that performs component mounting based on the mounting data, the component mounter can use a similar product model in addition to the product model according to the mounting data. Can be produced. In other words, one mounting data can be diverted to each product model by the skip instruction, and high-mix low-volume production can be performed efficiently.

  Such an operator's work is necessary to some extent in order to prevent an increase in the cost and size of the equipment, and increases as the tendency for high-mix low-volume production increases. It may be possible to automate such operations if cost is high, but among many manufacturers having component mounters, few manufacturers are able to spend such costs. However, in the component mounting machine, since the work to be performed by the operator is not notified as described above, the operator needs to find and perform the work to be performed by himself / herself according to the mounting situation. Therefore, the production of the product cannot be fully supported. Furthermore, since different operations of the operator are required according to the switching of the product model, the operator becomes anxious unless the operation is instructed in a timely manner.

  Further, even when the component mounter performs automatic control or work, such an automatic control is not notified to the operator. I feel anxious about what I do. For example, in a component mounting machine, in order to cope with a large variety of small-quantity production, an arrangement of component cassettes, a substrate, and mounting data are made common for the production of many product models. As a result, the operator cannot easily understand what product model is produced by the component mounting machine, and feels anxious. In other words, recently, the tendency of high-mix low-volume production has increased, and it is not uncommon to produce only two or three of a single product model. It is completely impossible to know if is produced. As a result, the operator becomes anxious. In such a case, the operator may stop the component mounter in order to check the product model currently produced, and the productivity is lowered.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object thereof is to provide a production support method capable of sufficiently supporting the production of a product.

  In order to achieve the above object, a production support method according to the present invention is a method for supporting production of a product by a production facility, and creating support information for creating support information for assisting an operator to work on the production facility. And a subtitle display step of displaying the support information created in the support information creation step as subtitles on a dedicated display screen disposed in the production facility. For example, the production facility is a component mounter that mounts components on a board, and the subtitle display step displays subtitles on the display screen.

  As a result, support information that supports the work on the production facility by the worker flows in subtitles on the display screen of the production facility, so that the worker can easily know the work to be performed by viewing the subtitle. As a result, the production of the product can be sufficiently supported. In addition, the display screen is a dedicated screen for streaming the support information in subtitles, and is not another general-purpose screen. If you turn your eyes on, you can easily know the work.

  In the support information creation step, the support information indicating the name of the product produced in the production facility is created, and in the caption display step, the name of the product is displayed in caption. .

  As a result, for example, the names of products such as formal names and nicknames flow in subtitles, so that workers can understand what products are produced in production facilities and what operations are performed in production facilities. You can easily find out. As a result, the worker can continue the production by the production facility with peace of mind. Therefore, the production of the product can be more fully supported.

  The production support method further includes a value acquisition step for acquiring a production status value relating to a production status of the production facility, and whether or not the production status value is larger or smaller than a predetermined specified value. A determination step for determining whether the production status value in the production facility is determined in the support information creation step when the determination step determines that the production status value is larger or smaller than the specified value. The support information indicating the corresponding maintenance or progress status may be created. For example, in the support information creation step, the support information indicating the number of products produced in the production facility is created, and in the caption display step, the number of products is displayed in captions.

  For example, if the number of products produced in the production facility is the production status value, it is determined whether or not the production status value is larger than a specified value. When it is determined that the production status value is larger than the specified value, the production status value, that is, the number of products flows as subtitles as the progress status. As a result, the worker can easily know the progress status by looking at the caption, and as a result, the operator can easily infer the work to be performed from the progress status, or the progress status It is possible to continue production with production equipment with peace of mind.

  The production support method further includes a specific step of specifying at least one of a product produced by the production facility, a feature of the product, and a setup required for production of the product, and the support information creation In the step, the support information indicating the content specified in the specifying step may be created.

  As a result, subtitles indicating the product, its features, setup, and the like flow, so that the worker can more easily know the work to be performed by viewing the subtitles.

  The production support method further includes a data collection step of collecting sales data indicating a sales status of a product produced by the production facility, and the support information creation step includes the business collection collected in the data collection step. The support information indicating the sales situation may be created based on the data.

  Thereby, since the subtitle indicating the sales situation flows, the operator can easily guess the work to be performed by himself / herself from the sales situation by looking at the subtitle or find the worth of work. As a result, production can be more fully supported.

  The present invention can be realized not only as such a production support method, but also stores a production support apparatus that performs support by the method, a program for causing a computer to execute an operation by the method, and the program. It can also be realized as a storage medium and a component mounter to which the method is applied.

  The production support method of the present invention has the effect of being able to sufficiently support the production of products.

  Hereinafter, a production system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing a production system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  A production system 1000 according to the present embodiment is a system that mounts components such as electronic components on a substrate to produce a mounted product, and sufficiently supports the production of the mounted product, and includes production lines L1 and L2, A production management device 200, a caption creation device 300, and a topic collection device 400 are provided.

  Each of the production lines L1 and L2 is composed of a plurality of production facilities arranged in a line, and the plurality of production facilities perform production operations according to a certain order to produce a mounted product that is a production object.

  Specifically, each of the plurality of production facilities performs a production work for mounting components on a board carried from the upstream side of the production line (for example, the left side in FIG. 1), and when the production work is completed, The board | substrate is carried out to the downstream (for example, the right side of FIG. 1) of a production line. For example, each production facility is configured as a solder printing device, an adhesive application device, a component mounting machine, a reflow furnace, or the like.

  Therefore, these production lines L1 and L2 sequentially transfer the substrate from the upstream production facility to the downstream production facility, and execute the production work according to the role of each production facility on the transferred substrate. Let As a result, a mounted product configured by mounting components on the board is produced as a production object.

  Each production facility in the present embodiment is provided with a display screen DP that is a dedicated display device that displays subtitles (so-called telops) that support the work of the worker. That is, each production facility acquires the caption data (support information) output from the caption creation device 300 and displays the caption indicated by the caption data on the display screen DP.

  The production management apparatus 200 manages production lines L1 and L2 by monitoring production instructions and giving instructions to the production lines L1 and L2. For example, the production management apparatus 200 manages all the mounted products to be produced, and the data for producing the mounted products (mounting point data and the like described later) for the component mounters included in the production lines L1 and L2. The component mounting machine is made to produce the mounted product by transmitting the change data.

  In addition, the production management apparatus 200 instructs the caption creation apparatus 300 to create captions. That is, the production management apparatus 200 outputs identification information for identifying a caption to be created to the caption creation apparatus 300, thereby causing the caption creation apparatus 300 to create a caption identified by the identification information.

  The caption creation device 300 is configured as a support information creation device, creates captions based on an instruction from the production management device 200 (such as the identification information described above), and the production facility instructed by the production management device 200 Output subtitle data indicating subtitles. The caption creation device 300 creates a caption in the same manner as described above based on an instruction from the topic collection device 400, and outputs caption data indicating the caption to a production facility related to the content of the caption.

  The topic collection device 400 collects sales data (so-called topic) indicating the sales status of the mounted product and the like via the telecommunication line from terminals 501, 502, 503 and the like of the mounted product sales department and sales department, for example. Furthermore, the topic collection device 400 analyzes the sales situation based on the collected topics. For example, when the topic collection device 400 collects topics indicating the number of sales from the terminals 501, 502, 503, etc., the topic collection apparatus 400 calculates the total number of sales of the mounted product by accumulating the number of sales. Further, the topic collection device 400 calculates a ratio (plan ratio) of the actual total sales number to the initially planned total sales number. Then, the topic collection device 400 outputs analysis data indicating such an analysis result to the caption creation device 300, thereby instructing the caption creation device 300 to create a caption indicating the analysis result of the topic. The topic collection device 400 uses the topics collected from each of the terminals 501, 502, and 503 without performing the analysis as described above, and instructs the caption creation device 300 to create captions indicating the topics. Good. Also, the topic collection device 400 creates a topic based on an operation by an operator (worker) without collecting the topic from each of the terminals 501, 502, and 503, and creates a caption indicating the topic. 300 may be instructed.

  In the present embodiment, the production support device is configured by the production management device 200, the caption creation device 300, the topic collection device 400, and the display screen DP.

  Hereinafter, it will be described in detail that a component mounter included as one production facility in the production lines L1 and L2 in the present embodiment displays subtitles on the display screen DP.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the component mounter in the present embodiment.

  The component mounting machine 100 includes two sub facilities (a front sub facility 110 and a rear sub facility 120) that perform component mounting simultaneously and independently. Each sub-equipment 110 (120) is an orthogonal robot type mounting stage, which includes component supply units 115a and 115b, a multi-mounting head 112, an XY robot 113, a component recognition camera 116, a tray supply unit 117, and a display screen. DP and the like.

  Each of the component supply units 115a and 115b includes an array of a maximum of 48 component cassettes 114 for storing component tapes. The “component tape” is actually a plurality of components of the same component type arranged on a tape (carrier tape) and supplied in a state of being wound around a reel (supply reel) or the like. The It is mainly used to supply a relatively small size component called a chip component to a component mounter.

  The multi-mounting head 112 is also referred to as a 10-nozzle head or simply a head, and 10 suction nozzles (hereinafter simply referred to as “nozzles”) that can pick up a maximum of 10 components from the component cassette 114 and mount them on the substrate 20. "). Hereinafter, the multi mounting head 112 is simply referred to as the head 112. The XY robot 113 moves the head 112. The component recognition camera 116 is used for two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally inspecting the suction state of the component sucked by the head 112. The tray supply unit 117 supplies tray parts. Each such sub-equipment executes component mounting on the board 20 in charge of each sub-equipment independently (in parallel) with other sub-equipment.

  The display screen DP is configured by, for example, a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, an LED (Light Emitting Diode), and the like, and displays a caption indicated by caption data output from the caption creation device 300. Further, when displaying the subtitle, the display screen DP is displayed so that the subtitle flows from the right side to the left side, for example, in front of the display screen DP.

  Specifically, such a component mounting machine 100 is a mounting machine having both functions of a component mounting machine called a high-speed mounting machine and a component mounting machine called a multi-function mounting machine. A high-speed mounting machine is a facility characterized by high productivity that mainly mounts electronic components of 10 mm square or less at a speed of about 0.1 seconds per point. A multi-function mounting machine is a large machine of 10 mm square or larger. It is equipment for mounting electronic parts, odd-shaped parts such as switches and connectors, and IC parts such as QFP (Quad Flat Package) and BGA (Ball Grid Array).

  That is, the component mounting machine 100 uses almost all kinds of electronic components (0.4 mm × 0.2 mm chips as components to be mounted) by using a plurality of types of nozzles (exchanging nozzles and the like). It is designed so that it can be mounted from a resistor to a 200 mm connector.

  FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a main configuration of the component mounter 100 according to the present invention.

  The shuttle conveyor 118 is a moving table (component conveying conveyor) for placing the components taken out from the tray supply unit 117 and transporting them to a predetermined position where the head 112 can adsorb them. The nozzle station 119 is a table on which replacement nozzles for accommodating various types of component types are placed. The transport unit 121 carries the substrate 20 into the component mounting machine 100 or carries it out of the component mounting machine 100.

  The two component supply units 115a and 115b constituting each sub-equipment 110 (or 120) are respectively arranged on the left and right with the component recognition camera 116 interposed therebetween. Therefore, the head 112 that has picked up the component in the component supply unit 115a or 115b moves to the mounting point of the substrate 20 after passing through the component recognition camera 116, and repeats the operation of sequentially mounting all the sucked components. The “mounting point” is a coordinate point on the substrate 20 on which a component is to be mounted, and components of the same component type may be mounted at different mounting points.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the head 112 and the component cassette 114. This head 112 is a working head called a “gang pickup system”, and can attach up to 10 nozzles 112a. At this time, parts from each of up to 10 parts cassettes 114 are simultaneously (one time). Can be absorbed).

  Note that only one component tape is loaded into the component cassette 114 called “single cassette”, and two component tapes are loaded into the component cassette 114 called “double cassette”. Also, the set position of the component cassette 114 (or component tape) in the component supply units 115a and 115b is called “value on the Z axis” or “position on the Z axis (Z number)”. A serial number or the like in which the leftmost end of the supply unit 115a is “Z1” is used. The “Z-axis” refers to a coordinate axis that specifies the arrangement position (set position) of the component cassette 114 set for each component mounter (or a sub-equipment if a sub-equipment is provided).

  Here, examples of captions displayed on the display screen DP of the component mounter 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Hereinafter, the component mounter 100 will be described as the sub-equipment 110 or the sub-equipment 120.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display screen DP that displays the formal name and temporary name of the mounted product in subtitles.

  For example, when the component mounter 100 mounts a component on a substrate that is the basis of a mounted product with the official name “E220615B207L” or before the mounting, the display screen DP is displayed as shown in FIG. As shown, the caption “E220615B207L: main board of LOMIX FX9” is played. Here, “the main board of LOMIX FX9” is a temporary name (so-called nickname) of the mounted product, and means, for example, a main board provided in a digital camera named “LOMIX FX9”.

  In addition, when the component mounting machine 100 mounts a component on a substrate that is the basis of a mounting product with the official name “E550615B208L” or before the mounting, the display screen DP is displayed as shown in FIG. As shown, the caption “E550615B208L: 32-inch LCD TV substrate for Singapore” is played. Here, “32-inch liquid crystal TV substrate for Singapore” is a nickname of the mounted product, and means a substrate provided in a 32-inch liquid crystal TV produced for Singapore, for example. Hereinafter, the above-mentioned formal name is simply referred to as a name.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, nicknames and names that are well-known among a plurality of operators of the production system 1000 are displayed in subtitles, so that each operator can produce on the component mounter 100 from the nicknames and names. It is possible to easily infer the usage and characteristics of the mounted products. That is, the operator can easily know what the mounted product produced by the component mounter 100 is and what operation is being performed by the component mounter 100. As a result, the operator can continue the component mounting by the component mounting machine 100 with peace of mind. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to sufficiently support the production of mounted products.

" Such subtitles mean that when mounting a component on a board, the coordinates of the mounting point of the component identified by “C1001” among the components necessary for the production of the base mounted product should be changed. The operator is prompted to input the coordinates.

  In addition, before the component mounter 100 mounts the component on the board, the display screen DP displays the subtitle “Nozzle 1: Change from S to M” as shown in FIG. Shed. Such subtitles mean that the type of the first nozzle 112a should be changed from type S to type M when mounting a component on the board, and prompts the operator to change the type.

  In addition, before the component mounting machine 100 mounts the component on the board, the display screen DP displays the subtitle “Start production after inputting the skip block” as shown in FIG. Shed. Such a caption means that when a component is mounted on a board, it is necessary to input a skip block such as “1” or “2”, and the operator is prompted to input the skip block. This skip block indicates a mounting point that should not be mounted among mounting points indicated by mounting point data (see FIG. 14) described later. That is, when “1” is input, component mounting is performed only on mounting points other than the mounting points associated with “1” among the mounting points indicated by the mounting point data.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the setup is displayed in subtitles, so that the operator can easily know the setup required for the component mounter 100. As a result, it is possible to sufficiently support the production of mounted products.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display screen DP that displays the sales status in subtitles.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the display screen DP plays the caption “Currently, 25,000 LOMIX units sold in December. 120% of the plan”. With such subtitles, the total sales volume of digital cameras called “LOMIX” in December is 25000 units, and the ratio of 25000 units to the total sales volume of the initial plan has reached 120%. means.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, since the sales situation is displayed in subtitles, the operator can easily know the sales situation and increase the motivation.

For example, when these mounted products are to be produced by the component mounter 100 in the order of the mounted products A1, A2, and A3, the product designating unit 202 sets the mounted products in the order of the mounted products A1, A2, and A3. Is specified. For example, the product designation unit 202 designates the mounted product using a product ID (A1, A2, A3, etc.) that is identification information for identifying the mounted product.

  The monitoring result acquisition unit 203 acquires the monitoring data output from the component mounting machine 100 and outputs the monitoring data to the instruction control unit 205.

  The database unit 210 indicates a plurality of mounting point data 214 indicating the type and mounting point of a component to be mounted on the board, a mounting product, mounting point data 214 for producing the mounting product, and the like in association with each other. A product mounting point correspondence table 211, a component library 212 indicating the name and size of each component, a specified value table 213 indicating specified values for reporting the necessity of maintenance, progress status, etc. for each of several monitoring items, and A setup table 215 indicating the setup according to the mounting status is stored.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of the component library 212.

  The component library 212 is a library in which unique information about all component types that can be handled by the component mounter 100 is collected. As shown in FIG. 13, the part size for each part type, tact (tact peculiar to the part type under a certain condition), and other constraint information (type of usable nozzle, recognition method by the part recognition camera 116, head 112, etc.). In the drawing, the external appearance of the components of each component type is also shown for reference. In addition, the component library 212 may include information such as the color of the component and the shape of the component.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the mounting point data 214.

  The mounting point data 214 is a collection of information indicating mounting points of all components to be mounted. As shown in FIG. 14, one mounting point pi includes a component type ci, an X coordinate xi, a Y coordinate yi, control data φi, and a skip block m. Here, “component type” corresponds to a component name in the component library 212 shown in FIG. 13, and “X coordinate” and “Y coordinate” are coordinates of a mounting point (coordinates indicating a specific position on the board). Yes, the “control data” is constraint information (such as the type of nozzles that can be used, the maximum moving speed of the head 112, etc.) regarding the mounting of the component.

  “Skip block” indicates that when a predetermined skip block is designated, no component is mounted on the mounting point pi associated with the skip block. For example, when “1” is associated with a mounting point pi as a skip block, if skip block “1” is designated as change point data, no component is mounted on the mounting point pi. That is, when the mounting control unit 156 of the component mounter 100 acquires the mounting point data 214 and the change point data indicating the skip block “1”, among the mounting points indicated in the mounting point data 214, the skip is performed. The mechanism unit 150 is controlled so that components are mounted only on mounting points other than the mounting points associated with the block “1”.

  As described above, since the skip block is associated with each mounting point pi of the mounting point data 214, the contents of the mounting point data 214 are based on one mounting point data 214 by specifying the skip block. Can be changed to a content corresponding to the skip block and component mounting can be performed. In other words, only by specifying a skip block, one mounting point data 214 can be obtained, for example, mounting point data 214 for producing a mounting product for Singapore or mounting point data 214 for producing a mounting product for Malaysia. Can be diverted.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of the product mounting point correspondence table 211.

  The product mounting point correspondence table 211 indicates a product ID for identifying a mounting product, a type of mounting point data 214 for producing the mounting product, and a change point to be changed with respect to the mounting point data 214. The change data is shown in association with it.

  For example, the product mounting point correspondence table 211 indicates that mounting point data 214 identified by “NC1” is used for the mounting product having the product ID “A1”. The product mounting point correspondence table 211 indicates that the mounting point data 214 identified by “NC1” is used for the mounting product with the product ID “A2”, and the components included in the mounting point data 214 The change point data indicates that PA should be changed to the part PB.

  The instruction control unit 205 refers to the product mounting point correspondence table 211 when mounting point data 214 or change point data is specified from the data specifying unit 201, and based on the specified mounting point data 214 or change point data. A mounted product to be produced by the component mounter 100 is specified. Then, the instruction control unit 205 outputs a product ID for identifying the specified mounted product and change point data to the caption creation device 300. Further, the instruction control unit 205 retrieves the specified mounting point data 214 from the database unit 210 and outputs it to the component mounting machine 100 together with the change point data.

  As a result, when the mounting point data 214 or the change point data is designated by the operator, the production management apparatus 200 outputs the mounting point data 214 and the change point data to the component mounting machine 100, thereby mounting according to them. The component mounter 100 is caused to execute component mounting so that a product is produced. Further, the production management apparatus 200 outputs the product ID and the changed point data to the caption creating apparatus 300, thereby the name and nickname of the mounted product produced by the component mounter 100 and the feature (changed point) of the mounted product. For example, the subtitle creating apparatus 300 creates subtitles such as those shown in FIGS.

  When the change control data is not specified from the data specification unit 201 and the operator inputs the change point input to the component mounter 100 as a setup, the instruction control unit 205 sets the product ID indicating the change to the caption generation device. Output to 300. For example, when only the mounting point data 214 identified by “NC1” is specified from the data specifying unit 201 and the operator performs the skip block input to the component mounting machine 100 as a setup, the instruction control unit 205 Is output to the caption creation device 300.

  On the other hand, when a mounted product is specified by the product specifying unit 202, the instruction control unit 205 refers to the product mounting point correspondence table 211 and identifies mounting point data 214 and change point data of the specified mounted product. . Then, the instruction control unit 205 outputs the identified change point data and the product ID of the mounted product to the caption creation device 300. Further, the instruction control unit 205 extracts the specified mounting point data 214 and the changed point data from the database unit 210 and outputs them to the component mounting machine 100.

  Thus, the production management apparatus 200 outputs the mounting point data 214 and the changed point data to the component mounting machine 100 as described above even when the mounting product (product ID) is directly designated by the operator. Then, the component mounter 100 is caused to execute component mounting so that the specified mounted product is produced. Further, as described above, the production management device 200 outputs the product ID and the change point data to the caption creation device 300, whereby the name and nickname of the mounted product produced by the component mounter 100, and the characteristics of the mounted product. The subtitle creating apparatus 300 creates a subtitle indicating (change).

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of the specified value table 213.

  The specified value table 213 shows the monitoring ID, which is identification information for identifying the monitoring item, the monitoring item, and the specified value in the monitoring item in association with each other.

  For example, the specified value table 213 indicates the monitoring item “production number” in association with the monitoring ID “X001” and the specified value “1000”. Further, the specified value table 213 indicates the monitoring item “error rate” in association with the monitoring ID “X006” and the specified value “0.01%”. The specified value table 213 shown in FIG. 16 shows specified values such as the monitoring item “error rate” and “suction frequency” as values for the entire component mounting machine 100, but for each nozzle 112 a and each component cassette 114. A specified value may be indicated.

  When the instruction control unit 205 acquires the monitoring data from the monitoring result acquisition unit 203, the instruction control unit 205 sets the numerical value of the monitoring item (for example, the total number of mounting points or CPH) indicated in the monitoring data to the monitoring item indicated in the specified value table 213. Compare with the specified value. As a result, when the instruction control unit 205 determines that the numerical value of the monitoring data is larger (or smaller) than the specified value, the instruction control unit 205 outputs a monitoring ID for identifying the monitoring item of the monitoring data to the caption creation device 300. To do.

  As a result, the production management apparatus 200 triggers that the numerical value of the monitoring data is larger (or smaller) than the specified value as a trigger, for example, subtitles indicating the necessity of maintenance, progress, etc., for example, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 causes the caption creation device 300 to create captions as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of the setup table 215.

  The setup table 215 indicates a setup ID, which is identification information for identifying the setup to be performed on the component mounter 100 in order to produce a mounted product, and a situation in which the setup is to be performed. In FIG. 17, the contents of the setup corresponding to the setup ID are also shown for reference.

  For example, the setup table 215 identifies the setup such as “change the type of the first nozzle from type S to type M” for “a situation where the mounted product is changed from the mounted product A1 to the mounted product B1”. A setup ID “K001” is shown in association with each other. That is, the setup table 215 indicates that when the product ID output from the instruction control unit 205 is changed from “A1” to “B1”, the setup indicated by the setup ID “K001” is necessary.

  In addition, the setup table 215 indicates a setup ID “K003” for identifying setup such as “input skip block” with respect to “a situation where the mounted product becomes the mounted product AX”. Here, the mounted product AX is a mounted product produced based on the mounting point data 214 identified by “NC1” and the skip block designated by the operator. That is, the setup table 215 indicates that the setup indicated by the setup ID “K003” is necessary when the product ID output from the instruction control unit 205 is “AX”.

  The instruction control unit 205 specifies the mounted product when the mounted product (product ID) is specified based on the specification from the data specifying unit 201 or when the mounted product (product ID) is directly specified from the product specifying unit 202. The setup to be performed on the component mounter 100 for production is specified with reference to the setup table 215. Then, the instruction control unit 205 outputs a setup ID for identifying the specified setup to the caption creation device 300.

  As a result, the production management apparatus 200 performs a change to the component mounter 100 for the production of the mounted product when the mounted product produced by the component mounter 100 is changed or becomes a special mounted product. The subtitle generating apparatus 300 generates a subtitle indicating the setup, for example, a subtitle as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 18 is a functional block diagram of the caption creation device 300.

  The caption creation device 300 includes an information acquisition unit 301, a name caption creation unit 302, a changed caption creation unit 303, a setup caption creation unit 304, a topic caption creation unit 305, a maintenance progress caption creation unit 306, a notification A unit 307 and a table storage unit 310.

  The information acquisition unit 301 acquires the product ID, change point data, monitoring ID, and setup ID from the production management apparatus 200.

  The change subtitle creation unit 303 acquires the change point data output from the production management apparatus 200 via the information acquisition unit 301. Then, the changed caption creation unit 303 analyzes the content indicated by the modified data, and creates a caption that conveys the content to the operator as caption data.

  For example, the changed point subtitle creating unit 303 creates subtitle data by adding a word that allows the operator to easily understand the content of the character indicating the content of the changed point data. Specifically, when the content of the change point data is “part PA → part PB”, the change subtitle creation unit 303 analyzes the content and recognizes that the change point is a part change. Then, the change subtitle creation unit 303 appends “change: part change” to the head of the characters “part PA → part PB”, thereby displaying subtitle data indicating the subtitle “change: part change part PA → part PB”. Create

  The topic subtitle creation unit 305 acquires the analysis data output from the topic collection device 400 and creates subtitles indicating the content of the analysis data as subtitle data. For example, the topic caption creating unit 305 converts the display output format of the content indicated by the analysis data into a display output format according to the display screen DP of the component mounter 100.

  The table storage unit 310 stores a name subtitle table 311, a maintenance progress subtitle table 312, and a setup subtitle table 313.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of the name subtitle table 311.

  The name subtitle table 311 indicates a product ID for identifying a mounted product, a name of the mounted product, and a nickname of the mounted product in association with each other.

  For example, the name subtitle table 311 shows the name “E220615B207L” and the nickname “LOMIX F9 main board” in association with the mounted product identified by the product ID “A1”, and is identified by the product ID “A2”. The name “E220615B207M” and the nickname “LOMIX F9 special specification board” are shown in association with the mounted product.

  The name subtitle creation unit 302 acquires the product ID output from the production management apparatus 200 via the information acquisition unit 301. Then, the name subtitle creating unit 302 searches the name subtitle table 311 for the name and nickname associated with the product ID, and creates a subtitle including the name and nickname as subtitle data.

  For example, when the product ID output from the production management apparatus 200 is “A1”, the name subtitle creating unit 302 refers to the name subtitle table 311 and indicates subtitle data indicating the subtitle “E220615B207L: main board of LOMIX FX9”. Create

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of the maintenance progress subtitle table 312.

  The maintenance progress subtitle table 312 shows a monitoring ID for identifying a monitoring item related to maintenance and progress, and a subtitle for the monitoring item in association with each other.

  For example, the maintenance progress subtitle table 312 shows the subtitle “achieved 1000 sheets produced” associated with the monitoring item identified by the monitoring ID “X001”.

  The maintenance progress subtitle creating unit 306 acquires the monitoring ID output from the production management apparatus 200 via the information acquisition unit 301. Then, the maintenance progress subtitle creating unit 306 searches the maintenance progress subtitle table 312 for a subtitle associated with the monitoring ID, and creates the subtitle as subtitle data.

  For example, when the monitoring ID output from the production management apparatus 200 is “X001”, the maintenance progress subtitle creation unit 306 refers to the maintenance progress subtitle table 312 and displays subtitle data indicating “achievement of 1000 sheets produced”. Create

  FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of the setup caption table 313.

  The setup caption table 313 shows a setup ID for identifying a setup to be performed on the component mounter 100 in order to produce a mounted product, and a caption indicating the contents of the setup in association with each other.

  For example, the setup caption table 313 indicates the setup identified by the setup ID “K001” in association with the caption “Nozzle No. 1: Please change to S → M”.

  The setup subtitle creating unit 304 acquires the setup ID output from the production management apparatus 200 via the information acquisition unit 301. Then, the setup caption creation unit 304 searches the setup caption table 313 for a caption associated with the setup ID, and creates the caption as caption data.

  For example, when the setup ID output from the production management apparatus 200 is “K001”, the setup subtitle creation unit 304 refers to the setup subtitle table 313 and changes the subtitle “Nozzle 1: S → M”. ”Is generated.

  The notification unit 307 receives the subtitle data created by each of the name subtitle creation unit 302, the changed subtitle creation unit 303, the setup subtitle creation unit 304, the topic subtitle creation unit 305, and the maintenance progress subtitle creation unit 306 as component mounting machines. 100 is output.

  As described above, when the caption data is output from the caption creation device 300 to the component mounter 100, the captions as shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 22 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation of the production system 1000 in the present embodiment.

  First, the production management apparatus 200 identifies a product ID of a mounted product that is a production target in the component mounter 100, a change point of the mounted product, and a setup for producing the mounted product (step S100). For example, the production management apparatus 200 performs the identification as described above when a board is carried into the component mounter 100. That is, when the component mounter 100 detects that the board has been carried in, the component mounter 100 notifies the production management apparatus 200 of the detection result. The production management device 200 performs the identification as described above when receiving the notification.

  Then, the production management apparatus 200 outputs the product ID, the change point data indicating the change point, and the setup ID for identifying the setup specified in Step S100 to the caption creation device 300 (Step S102).

  When the caption creation device 300 obtains a product ID from the production management device 200, the caption creation device 300 creates a caption composed of the name and nickname of the mounted product corresponding to the product ID as caption data. Further, when the caption creation device 300 acquires change point data from the production management device 200, the caption creation device 300 creates a caption based on the change point data as caption data. Further, when the caption creation device 300 acquires a setup ID from the production management device 200, the caption creation device 300 creates a caption indicating the setup corresponding to the setup ID as caption data (step S104).

  Then, the caption creation device 300 outputs the caption data created in step S104 to the component mounter 100 (step S106).

  The display screen DP of the component mounting machine 100 acquires the caption data output in step S106, and displays the caption indicated by the caption data by flowing (step S108).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, every time a board is carried into the component mounting machine 100, the operations from step S100 to S108 as described above are executed. Therefore, every time a board is carried in, automatically, Subtitles corresponding to the loaded board can be played.

  FIG. 23 is a sequence diagram illustrating another example of the operation of the production system 1000 according to the present embodiment.

  The monitoring unit 158 of the component mounter 100 is, for example, any one of a plurality of monitoring items for the mounting status of the component mounter 100 based on an operation to the input unit 151 by an operator or an instruction from the production management device 200. One or more monitoring items are set (step S200). Then, the mounting control unit 156 of the component mounter 100 starts the production of the mounted product that is the production target by controlling the mechanism unit 150 (step S202). The monitoring unit 158 monitors one or more monitoring items set in step S200, for example, monitoring items such as the total production number (step S204), and outputs a monitoring result (production status value) for each monitoring item. The monitoring data shown is output to the production management apparatus 200 (step S206).

  The production management apparatus 200 acquires the monitoring data output from the component mounting machine 100 (step S208), and for each monitoring item, the monitoring result value indicated by the monitoring data is based on the specified value indicated by the specified value table 213. Is also larger (step S210).

  Here, when it is determined that the value of the monitoring result is larger than the specified value (Yes in step S210), the production management apparatus 200 sets the monitoring ID for identifying the monitoring item corresponding to the value of the monitoring result as the caption. The data is output to the creation device 300 (step S212). On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the monitoring result is equal to or less than the specified value (No in step S210), the production management apparatus 200 repeatedly executes the operation from step S208 on the monitoring item corresponding to the value of the monitoring result. .

  When the caption creation device 300 acquires the monitoring ID output from the production management device 200, the caption creation device 300 creates, as caption data, a caption with a content prompting maintenance or a caption notifying the progress status corresponding to the monitoring ID ( Step S214).

  Then, the caption creation device 300 outputs the caption data created in step S214 to the component mounter 100 (step S216).

  The display screen DP of the component mounting machine 100 acquires the caption data output in step S216, and displays the caption indicated by the caption data by flowing (step S218).

  FIG. 24 is a sequence diagram showing still another example of the operation of the production system 1000 in the present embodiment.

  The topic collection device 400 collects topics such as the number of installed products sold from the terminals 501, 502, 503, etc. (step S300). Then, the topic collection device 400 analyzes the collected topics (step S302), and outputs analysis data indicating an analysis result such as the total number of sales to the caption creation device 300 (step S304).

  The caption creation device 300 acquires the analysis data output from the topic collection device 400, and creates a caption indicating the content of the analysis data as caption data (step S306). Then, the caption creation device 300 outputs the caption data created in step S306 to the component mounter 100 (step S308).

  The display screen DP of the component mounter 100 acquires the caption data output in step S308, and displays the caption indicated by the caption data by flowing (step S310).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, various information that supports the work of the worker is displayed on the display screen DP as subtitles by the operations of the production management device 200, the subtitle creation device 300, and the topic collection device 400. It can fully support the production of products such as products.

  The production support method according to the present invention has been described above using the production system 1000 of the above embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the subtitle indicating the setup is displayed on the display screen DP before the mounting of the component on the board by the component mounting machine 100 is started. Further, after the setup is performed, Subtitles indicating the setup check result may be displayed on the display screen DP. Thereby, since the mistake of the setup by the operator is dynamically displayed in subtitles, the operator can perform setup more appropriately.

  In the above embodiment, the setup ID is specified based only on the setup table 215 shown in FIG. 17, but the setup ID may be specified using the component library 212. For example, when the mounting point data 214 used in the component mounter 100 is changed, the production management apparatus 200 compares the mounting point data 214 before and after the change, and identifies the difference between the mounted components. Furthermore, the production management apparatus 200 identifies the nozzle 112a that needs to be replaced and its type from the component library 212 based on the difference. As a result, when the production management apparatus 200 determines that the type of the first nozzle 112a needs to be changed from type S to type M, for example, the production management apparatus 200 refers to the setup table 215 and sets up the setup ID “K001” indicating the change. Is output to the caption creation device 300.

  In the above embodiment, the sales situation such as the number of sales is collected as a topic. However, other information may be collected as a topic as long as the information increases the operator's willingness to work.

  Further, the component mounter 100 may specify the type of the board when the board is carried in and notify the production management apparatus 200 of the type. In such a case, the production management apparatus 200 determines whether or not the notified type is suitable for the mounted product to be produced by the component mounter 100. When it is determined that the production management apparatus 200 is not suitable, the production management apparatus 200 stops the component mounting by the component mounting machine 100 or changes the product to be produced for production. For example, the component mounter 100 changes the mounted product to be produced by outputting the mounting point data 214 and the change point data suitable for the board that has been loaded to the component mounter 100.

  In the above embodiment, the subtitle indicating the change point is flowed on the display screen DP based on the instruction from the production management apparatus 200, but the component mounter 100 changes based on the bad mark or the like provided on the board. A point may be specified and a caption indicating the changed point may be played on the display screen DP.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the component mounting machine 100 and the caption production | generation apparatus 300 were comprised separately, you may provide the component mounting machine 100 with the caption production | generation apparatus 300. FIG.

  Further, when there are a plurality of subtitles to be displayed on the display screen DP, the subtitles may be played in order from the subtitle having the highest priority. For example, the priority of the caption indicating the setup is set higher than the priority of the caption indicating the sales situation. And when it comes to the situation where these subtitles should be displayed, the subtitle which shows a setup is played first, and the subtitle which shows a sales situation is played after that.

  The production support method of the present invention has an effect that the production of the product can be sufficiently supported, and can be applied to a system for producing a mounted product by mounting a component such as an electronic component on a substrate, for example.
