In FIG. 19, a display 305g in Japanese is shown, which is different from the display 305a in English notation shown in FIG.
When the language switching button 351 is operated, the control unit 301 of the master server 300 causes the display unit 305 to display a display 305g in Japanese notation including information on the product master described in the product master base 311. FIG. 19 illustrates Japanese notation, but the present invention is not limited to this. The display 305g in FIG. 19 is similar to FIG. 13 in English notation, German, French, Italian, Spanish, It may be any other language such as Chinese, Korean, Thai.

For example, the display unit 305 in FIG. 19 is a touch panel, and a pop-up screen 305h is displayed by operating an area (value operating time, number of good products) 352 of the display 305g. The pop-up screen 305h shows detailed data of the area 352.
Similarly, by operating the area 353, a pop-up screen 305i is displayed. The pop-up screen 305i shows detailed data of the area 353, and the pop-up screen 305j is displayed by operating the area 354. The pop-up screen 305j shows detailed data of the area 354.

The output of the display 350g can also be output in a paper medium and data output, for example, CSV format pdf format and dat format.

  Next, FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram illustrating still another example of the display unit 305 in the master server 300 illustrated in FIG. 13 or 19. Hereinafter, differences mainly from the display in FIGS. 13 and 19 will be described.

In FIG. 20, unlike the displays 305a and 305g of FIGS. 13 and 19, a data display 305k of predicted consumption is shown.
The predicted consumption data display 305k compares the standard with current information based on a numerical value when a normal problem does not occur, and estimates the final production loss, power consumption, and carbon dioxide emission. Furthermore, the cause and countermeasure are provided from the past history information for the difference of the comparison result.

  For example, the display unit 305 in FIG. 20 is a touch panel, and a pop-up screen 305m is displayed by operating an area (value operating time, number of good products) 352 of the display 305k. The pop-up screen 305m shows detailed data of the area 352 and the estimated production quantity.

  Similarly, by operating the area 353, a pop-up screen 305n is displayed. The pop-up screen 305n shows the detailed data in the area 353 and the estimated number discharged as a defective product.

Further, the “cause & countermeasure” button is provided on the pop-up screen 305n, and further, by operating the button, the cause of the number of products discharged as defective products and the countermeasure are displayed on the advice display 305p.

  For example, the advice display 305p is displayed when there is a difference from the reference for various types of merchandise processing devices, such as when air leaks or when power leaks.

  In addition, although the numerical value when functioning as prescribed in the above estimation is used as a reference, it is not limited to this, and an arbitrary numerical value may be used as a reference. For example, the best data among past history data may be used, and average data may be used.

In the above embodiment, the power consumption (total power consumption 322 in FIG. 13) is an integrated power consumption, for example, the total power production within a range of several seconds to several hundred seconds. Yes, the power amount (power cost: total power cost 321 in FIG. 13) is calculated by integrating the amount of power set in advance to the amount of integrated power.
The amount of carbon dioxide emissions (total carbon dioxide emissions 323) is calculated by integrating the integrated power consumption with the numerical value (0.555) determined by the Kyoto Protocol. It was calculated by dividing the accumulated power amount per production number that was regarded as a good product.

  As described above, according to the data conversion device 100 for a product manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, it is possible to display a plurality of units such as power consumption, power cost, carbon dioxide emission, etc. in a unified unit.

  In addition, since the history is recorded by the recording unit 310, the amount of carbon dioxide emission and the change in the amount of money can be displayed. Further, by using the input unit 303, it is possible to display the accumulated carbon dioxide emission amount or the energy loss such as the amount of money including factors other than the manufacturing site. As a result, it is possible to display in which product processing apparatus the amount of carbon dioxide emission or the amount of money is increasing.

  Further, by recording the operating conditions of various commodity processing apparatuses in the recording unit 310, changes in carbon dioxide emissions can be compared according to the operating conditions. In addition, since it is easy to identify the cause of defective products occurring in any process and reducing the yield, it is possible to easily take measures to improve the yield.

  Moreover, when the amount of carbon dioxide emission falls below the target value, or when the amount of carbon dioxide emission can be reduced, the amount of emission reduction can be bought and sold. As a result, it is friendly to the global environment and cost reduction can be realized.

  The above makes it easy for the administrator to set the production loss, film loss and power consumption energy, air emissions, carbon dioxide emissions, etc. in the preferred unit, that is, the unit of money or the unit of carbon dioxide emissions (kg It is possible to recognize all of the consumed energy or the consumed energy corresponding to the loss in the unit of -CO2), and it is possible to grasp the fluctuation of the consumed energy.
