Definitions

• the invention relates to the field of methods for creating and modifying a motor vehicle assembly data sheet as well as the corresponding motor vehicle assembly data sheet.
• a motor vehicle assembly line in an assembly plant of a motor vehicle manufacturing plant, human operators perform assembly operations on vehicles moving along the assembly line. Each operator occupies a given position at which he must perform a number of basic operations in a given order. All of this is described in one or more mounting cards corresponding to the operator's station. This is also called the mounting range. All the assembly cards covering all the items of the assembly line are grouped into computer files structured into a database and accessible via certain computers in the assembly shop. This database can be updated and updated computer files downloaded to become available at the assembly shop. It is interesting to standardize all of these assembly data sheets at the scale of a car manufacturer. However, the same car manufacturer will have factories, and therefore assembly workshops, in several countries. However, in each country where a different language is spoken, the textual instructions of the assembly sheet must be translated and / or adapted.
• this photographic illustration is an object of a database while the editing instruction written in text is another object of another database, or of another part of the database.
• the photographic illustration can, in turn, be preserved if not, at least with a minor modification that could correspond to a text editing instruction a little longer or shorter and therefore covering a more or less extensive image area .
• the invention considers that the modification of computer files, when switching from a language of a country to the language distinct from a separate country, is still too heavy. For this reason, the invention proposes a computer file for which, outside of the textual information field which remains translated when it exists, in the field of visual information, the pair comprising on the one hand photographic illustration and on the other hand the associated assembly instruction or instructions is indissociably integrated in the same image. This is simpler and more convenient to handle.
• the editing instruction had remained in textual form, the passage from one country to another would have required the update of the entire image contained in the visual information field. However, this is not the case because the assembly instruction is in the form of a pictogram without text.
• the invention therefore relates to the computer file, as well as the method of creation and the method of modifying the computer file.
• the invention is based on the superposition of two elements, a photographic illustration and a pictogram, in a single image constituting a computer object, preferably belonging to a database, rather than on the superposition of two elements each in the form of an image, that is to say the superposition of two images constituting two distinct computer objects between them, preferably belonging to one or more databases.
• the inseparable integration of an assembly instruction in the form of a pictogram in a photographic illustration means that there is a single computer object and not two distinct computer objects between them: to dissociate the assembly instruction from the photographic illustration, it is not enough to modify one or more links, it would be necessary to enter the image and modify the structure of the image itself.
• a method for modifying a motor vehicle assembly data sheet which includes displaying, in the same visual information window, the superimposition of a photographic illustration of an element of vehicle and at least one assembly instruction associated therewith, comprising sending from a database a new photographic illustration and at least one new assembly instruction, characterized in that the new photographic illustration and the new assembly instruction (s) are sent in the same image integrating indissolubly the new assembly instructions into the new photographic illustration respectively in the form of one or more pictograms without text.
• a method for creating a motor vehicle mounting data sheet which is intended to include the display, in a same window of visual information, the superposition of a photographic illustration of a motor vehicle component and at least one assembly instruction associated therewith, comprising the combination of a photographic illustration and at least one mounting instruction, characterized in that the photographic illustration and the the assembly instructions are associated in the same image integrating indissociably said instruction or mounting instructions in said photographic illustration respectively in the form of one or more pictograms without text.
• said one or more pictograms belong to a library of assembly instructions used to create the assembly computer data set for an assembly plant of a motor vehicle manufacturing plant. This will make the standardization more complete.
• a motor vehicle mounting data sheet comprising the display, in a same visual information window, the superposition of a photographic illustration of a motor vehicle element and of least one assembly instruction associated therewith, characterized in that the superposition is achieved by the display of a single image integrating indissociably the assembly instruction or instructions in the photographic illustration respectively in the form of one or more pictograms without text.
• the same visual information window may include one or more pictograms, for example two pictograms.
• At least one pictogram comprises a drawing in several colors.
• the editing instruction is more readily apparent from the photographic illustration which includes extended monochrome image areas.
• the significant chromatic variation of the mounting instruction over a small image area in contrast, highlights the mounting instruction of the fairly large monochrome image area corresponding to a homogeneous portion of the vehicle element. automobile.
• At least one pictogram comprises on the one hand a drawing symbolizing the assembly instruction to be made by an operator and on the other hand at least one arrow indicating on the photographic illustration the part to be mounted by the operator and or where the room is to be mounted by the operator.
• the pictogram representing the instruction to screw well illuminates the operator; however, an arrow indicating which screw is to be screwed on further illuminates the precise nature of the task to be performed.
• two assembly instructions to be performed by an operator successively in time are respectively represented by two pictograms, one or more arrows starting from the first assembly instruction to be performed in time, one or more other arrows. arriving at the second assembly instruction to be made in time.
