The computerized information is transmitted to the server 12 through a telecommunication line.
The server 12 arranges the order information in accordance with certain conditions and creates daily production plan information. Here, the daily production plan information is obtained by allocating order information and allocating belts to be produced on a daily basis, and is arranged for each belt molded body. Including producing.

Then, the daily production plan information of the production factory is transmitted from the server 12 to the production plan information storage device 13 composed of a personal computer or the like provided at each production factory via an electric communication line.

The production plan information storage device 13 stores the daily production plan information of the V-ribbed belt sent from the server 12 organized for each belt molded body. The stored daily production plan information is recorded as a bar code by the first information writing means 14 for each belt molding (for each lot) as a first recording means. It is written on the card 15. As will be described later, after the second cutting step is completed, the information of each belt molded body recorded on the lot guarantee card 15 is compared with the processing information of each belt molded body (belt material). It is checked whether or not the product is produced as desired. However, the information is written into the lot guarantee card 15 and read therefrom to be input to the production plan information storage device 13,
Further, the information may be sent to the server 12. Further, this information may be sent to the communication terminal 11 via the server 12 via an electric communication line.

Then, the information recorded on the ID card 18 is sequentially read by the second management device 23, and processing for the subsequent steps is sequentially performed for each belt material 16A based on the information. Therefore, production management is performed based on the production plan information recorded on the lot guarantee card 15 and the ID card 18.

As shown in FIG. 2, the ID card 18 is transported by the transport conveyor means 20 in accordance with the movement of the belt material 16A from the rib ridge processing step to the second cutting step. After the end of the cutting process, the process is returned to the rib ridge machining process. Accordingly, the ID card 18 circulates between the rib cutting step and the second cutting step.

The transport conveyor means 20 transports the ID card 18 while being mounted on a transport base (not shown). The transport conveyor means 20 has four stop positions for stopping information exchange in the grinding step S12, the reversing step S13, the mark printing step S14, and the small splitting / inspecting step S15.

After the completion of the above-mentioned splitting / inspecting step S15 (second cutting step), the information reading means 24 reads information (production planning information) for each belt molded body from the lot guarantee card 15 and reads it from a personal computer or the like. The finishing inspection means 25 compares the information with the processing information for each belt molded body (belt material) to check whether or not the belt is manufactured as desired (finish inspection S16). Then, the product belt 16B that has passed the check is packed in a packing box and shipped.

According to the system having the above configuration, first, the production plan information storage device 13 stores the lot guarantee card 15

Is cut into a width corresponding to the number of rib ridges of each product belt by a first cutting machine (not shown) to obtain a belt material 16A. The lot guarantee card 15 is carried by an operator as appropriate.

When the width cutting is completed, the process shifts to the management for each belt material 16A. And the belt material 16
Since the ID card 18 will be issued for each A,
In addition, individual information about each belt material 16A of one belt molded body 16 is transferred to the ID card 18 corresponding to each belt material 16A, and the information is transferred to the ID card 18.
Are written sequentially. That is, when the belt molded body 16 is cut into, for example, four pieces, four belt materials 16A
As a result, the belt molded body 16 as one lot is formed, so that four ID cards 18 correspond to one lot guarantee card 15 and four belt materials 16A correspond to each ID card 18 respectively. Is written. Information for each belt material 16A is recorded, and subsequent processing is executed based on the information.

Therefore, it is necessary to issue the ID cards 18 in a number corresponding to the type of the product belt included in each belt molded body 16, but since the ID cards 18 are circulated by the conveyor means 20, Will be reused repeatedly. That is, the belt material 16A is sequentially moved to each of the positions according to the flow of the belt material 16A.
The D card 18 is configured to be able to circulate, and stops at each step of a series of steps, for example, at a rib crest processing position, an inversion position, a marking position, and a small cutting / measuring position. Then, a series of steps S12 to S14 for each belt material 16A is independently managed by the management device 23 for each belt material 16A based on the information recorded on the ID card 18. When new information is generated in each step, the information is written to the ID card 18 corresponding to each belt material 16A.

The belt material 16A is first ground by a grinding machine (rib ridge processing machine) to form a rib ridge shape (rib ridge processing step S12). The belt material 16A after the rib ridge processing is reversed by a reversing machine (not shown) (reversing step S13) and an ink jet printer (not shown).
Thereby, necessary marks are printed on the back surface of the belt material 16A (printing step S14).

Then, the belt material 16A on which the mark has been printed after the rib ridge processing has been inverted is cut into small pieces of a predetermined width by a second cutting machine (not shown), and is scaled (second measurement). Cutting step S15), and finally the product belt 16
B and shipped after the finish inspection step S16. When the second cutting step S15 is completed, the ID card 18 is circulated so as to return to the rib ridge processing step S12, and is reused for the belt material 16A that is subsequently transported.

As described above, the movement of the ID card 18 and the movement of the belt material 16A on the production line are performed in synchronization with each other.
It is easy to grasp the information of the belt material 16A by matching the flow with A.

After completion of a series of steps for one belt molded body 16A, the lot guarantee card 15 is carried by the operator to the finish inspection step S16, and the lot guarantee card 15 is transferred from the ID card 18 corresponding to the belt molded body 16 to the lot. New information generated in each process for each belt material 16A is transferred to the warranty card 15 and the belt molding 1
The information about 6 is updated.

As described above, since each belt material 16A included in one belt molded body 16 is managed by a different ID card 18, the type of the belt material 16A included in each belt molded body 16 is different. Of different types are included in different ID cards 18
, And can be managed without causing an error due to a difference in type. In addition, even if a series of processes are performed over the two belt molded bodies 16, the flow can be identified and production control can be performed without stopping the flow.

Further, since the information of the ID card 18 is finally returned to the lot guarantee card 15, the information on one lot is
5, so that collective management is realized.
