As shown in FIG. 7, in the completed number acquisition process, the CPU 21 determines whether the completed number has been received (S1). The CPU 21 determines that the completed number has been received when the log file including the code “CT1” is received. When the completed number is received (S1: YES), the CPU 21 stores the completed number in the storage unit 24 (S2). The CPU 21 updates the current sewing amount in the device storage area 241. When a plurality of codes “CT1” are included in a single log file, the CPU 21 updates the current sewing amount for each of the plurality of codes “CT1”. When the number of completed sheets has not been received (S1: NO), or after S2, the CPU 21 determines whether it is time to update the display (S3). The CPU 21 determines that it is the display update time when a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) has elapsed since the previous display update. The administrator may be able to set the predetermined time for determining the update frequency, or the CPU 21 may be automatically set (for example, an initial value). When it is not the display update time (S3: NO), the CPU 21 returns the process to S1. When it is the display update time (S3: YES), the CPU 21 calculates the current target number of sheets (S4). The current target number is a value obtained by multiplying the final target number by the work time up to the present and dividing by the work time of one day (rounded down). The CPU 21 updates the display items displayed on the LCD 27 to the latest information (S5). The CPU 21 returns the process to S1.

  The response process will be described with reference to FIG. When the information processing apparatus 2 is activated, the CPU 21 reads a program from the ROM 22 or the storage unit 24 and executes a response process according to an instruction included in the program. As shown in FIG. 8, the CPU 21 determines whether a request has been acquired (S11). The administrator can input various requests to the information processing apparatus 2 by operating the operation unit 28. When the request is not acquired (S11: NO), the CPU 21 returns the process to S11. At the time of request acquisition (S11: YES), the CPU 21 determines whether the request acquired in the process of S11 is a production status display (S12). The production status display is a request to display display items on the LCD 27 based on the progress information of the sewing apparatus 3 in a specific factory managed by the information processing apparatus 2. When the request is a production status display (S12: YES), the CPU 21 executes a production status display process described later (S16), and returns the process to S11. When the request is not the production status display process (S12: NO), the CPU 21 determines whether the request is a specific device display (S13). The specific device display is a request to display a display item based on progress information of the sewing device 3 specified by the identification information included in the request among the plurality of sewing devices 3.

  When the request is a specific device display (S13: YES), the CPU 21 executes a specific device display process described later (S17), and returns the process to S11. When the request is not specific device display (S13: NO), the CPU 21 determines whether the request is a display setting change (S14). The display setting change is a request for changing the setting of the display item or the display format. When the request is a display setting change (S14: YES), the CPU 21 executes a display setting changing process described later (S18), and returns the process to S11. When the request is not a display setting change (S14: NO), the CPU 21 determines whether the request is a display condition change (S15). The display condition change is a request to change the display setting of information regarding the sewing apparatus, work time, and final target value. The administrator can input a display condition change request from the management screens 60, 70, 80. When the request is a display condition change (S15: YES), the CPU 21 executes a display condition change process (S19), and returns the process to S11. When the request is a request to change the information regarding the sewing device and the display setting of the final target value, the CPU 21 specifies the condition to be changed, and the specified item among the items stored in the device storage area 241 is determined by the administrator. Update to the conditions specified by. When the request is a request to change the work time, the CPU 21 specifies an item to be changed, and updates the specified item among the items stored in the work time storage area 242 under a condition specified by the administrator. When the request is not a display condition change (S15: NO), the CPU 21 executes another process according to the request type (S20), and returns the process to S11.

  For example, the administrator can input a production status display request by selecting a factory to be displayed on the production status tab 69 of the device management screen 60 of FIG. When the current time is 16:34 and the CPU 21 obtains a production status display request regarding the factory B (S11: YES, S12: YES), as shown in FIG. 9, the CPU 21 sets the variable N in the production status display process. 1 is set (S21). The variable N is a variable for sequentially specifying the sewing device 3 to be displayed. The storage unit 24 stores the registration order of the sewing device 3 for each factory. The CPU 21 reads the sewing device 3 of the factory to be displayed in the order of registration. The CPU 21 refers to the device storage area 241 and obtains the current sewing amount A (N) of the Nth sewing device 3 (S22). For example, the CPU 21 acquires 85 sheets as the current sewing amount of the sewing apparatus 3 whose identification number is E003. The CPU 21 refers to the device storage area 241 in FIG. 2 and acquires the final target value B (N) (S23). For example, the CPU 21 acquires 100 sheets as the final target value of the sewing apparatus 3 with the identification number E003.

  The CPU 21 calculates the current target value C (N) (S24). The current target value C (N) is a value obtained by multiplying the final target value B (N) by the work time up to the present and dividing by the scheduled work time of the day. For example, in the sewing apparatus 3 with the identification number E003, the final target value is 100, the work time up to the present is 6 hours and 34 minutes, and the work time of the day is 8 hours. Therefore, the CPU 21 calculates the current target value C (N) of the sewing apparatus 3 with the identification number E003 as 82 sheets.

  The CPU 21 calculates the current achievement rate D (N) of the Nth sewing device 3 (S25). The current achievement rate D (N) is a value obtained by dividing the current sewing amount A (N) by the current target value C (N). For example, the CPU 21 calculates 104% as the current achievement rate of the sewing apparatus 3 whose identification number is E003. The CPU 21 determines whether the variable N is the last (S26). When the variable N is not the last (S26: NO), the CPU 21 adds 1 to the variable N (S27), and returns the process to S22. When the variable N is the last (S26: YES), the CPU 21 determines whether one of the current achievement rate and the value indicating the final target value is selected as the display item (S28). The administrator can change the setting of the display item by a display setting change process which will be described later with reference to FIG. The storage unit 24 stores display items set in the display setting change process or initially set. The CPU 21 refers to the storage unit 24 to determine whether to select one of the current achievement rate and the value indicating the final target value from the display items, in other words, to exclude the other.

  When one of the current achievement rate and the value indicating the final target value is selected (S28: YES), the CPU 21 excludes the other not selected from the display items (S29). When both the current achievement rate and the value indicating the final target value are selected (S28: NO), or after the process of S29, the CPU 21 determines whether the display format is a graph display (S30). The administrator can change the display format setting by a display setting change process (FIG. 15) described later. The display format is a graph display or a list (table) display. The storage unit 24 stores the initial display format set by the display setting change process. The CPU 21 refers to the storage unit 24 to determine whether the display format is a graph display.

  When the display format is set to graph display (S30: YES), the CPU 21 displays the display items in a graph (S31). When one of the current achievement rate and the value indicating the final target value is not selected (S28: NO) and the display format is set to graph display (S30: YES), the CPU 21 displays the first graph illustrated in FIG. A display screen 90 is displayed on the LCD 27. The first graph display screen 90 includes a graph 91 and an output key 92. The graph 91 displays the target number of sheets, the number of sewing items, the target number of today, and the achievement rate for each sewing device 3. The CPU 21 sets the current target value C (N) as the target number, the current sewing amount A (N) as the sewing number, the final target value B (N) as the current target number, and the current achievement rate D (N) as the achievement rate. . The horizontal axis of the graph 91 indicates the device name of the sewing device 3. The vertical axis on the left shows the achievement rate. The vertical axis on the right indicates the number of sheets. The output key 92 displays the current sewing amount A (N), final target value B (N), current target value C (N), and current achievement rate D (N) for each sewing device 3 in a predetermined file format (for example, CSV format). ) Is a key to request output. When the administrator selects the output key 92, the CPU 21 outputs each information in the CSV format by a process not shown. The CSV format data may include numerical data for creating the graph 91.

  When the display format is not set to graph display (S30: NO), the CPU 21 displays a list of display items (S32). In a specific example, when the final target number of display items is excluded from the display items (S28: YES, S29), when the graph is not displayed (S30: NO), the CPU 21 displays the first list display screen 95 illustrated in FIG. To display. The first list display screen 95 includes a list 96 and a search field 102. The list 96 includes an order 97, an apparatus name 65, a model 63, a target number 99, a sewing number 100, and an achievement rate 101. An order 97 indicates a registration order corresponding to the variable N. The CPU 21 sets the current target value C (N) to the target number 99, the current sewing amount A (N) to the sewing number 100, and D (N) to the achievement rate 101. When the display item includes the final target number, the CPU 21 adds the final target value B (N) to the list 96 as the current target number. The administrator can search for the sewing device 3 that satisfies a predetermined condition using the search field 102. After the process of S31 or S32, the CPU 21 ends the production status display process and returns the process to the response process.

  The administrator can input a specific device display request by selecting the device name on the first graph display screen 90 in FIG. 10 or the device name 65 on the first list display screen 95 in FIG. When the current time is 16:34, when a specific device display request is acquired for the sewing device 3 whose device name is A2-3 and whose identification information (ie, manufacturing number) is E003 (S11: YES, (S12: NO, S13: YES), as shown in FIG. 12, the CPU 21 refers to the log file storage area 243 and acquires the log file of the sewing device 3 indicated by the identification information included in the specific device display request (S41). The CPU 21 sets 1 to the variable K (S42). The variable K is a variable for acquiring a log file for a predetermined period from the log file of the sewing apparatus 3 indicated by the identification information. In this example, the predetermined period is set in units of one hour from a predetermined start time (for example, 6:00). The CPU 21 refers to the work time storage area 242 of the storage unit 24 and determines whether or not the period of the variable K is a period with attribute setting (S43). The CPU 21 determines that the data has the attribute setting when the period of the variable K is during the break time. The break time stored in the working time storage area 242 of the specific example is from 12:00 to 13:00. Therefore, the CPU 21 determines that the attribute is set when the period of the variable K is from 12:00 to 13:00. When the attribute is set (S43: YES), the CPU 21 sets the background color for the period of the variable K (S44). CPU21 changes a display mode with the display of the period with an attribute setting, and the display with a period without an attribute setting. Specifically, the CPU 21 changes the background colors of the two displays to different colors. The CPU 21 sets a predetermined color (for example, gray) as the background color in the period with the attribute setting. When there is no attribute setting (S43: NO), or after S44, the CPU 21 acquires the sewing amount A (K) for the period of the variable K (S45). Specifically, the CPU 21 refers to the log file storage area 243 of the storage unit 24 and identifies the log file received during the period of the variable K. Then, the CPU 21 acquires the number of progress information (that is, the code “CT1, N”) included in the specified log file as the period sewing amount A (K) for the period of the variable K. For example, when the variable K is 4, the CPU 21 acquires the completed number 13 from 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock.

  The CPU 21 calculates a period target value C (K) in the period of the variable K (S46). In a specific example, a target value for a period of 1 hour is calculated. Since the final target value of the production number E003 is 100 and the working time per day is 8 hours, the CPU 21 calculates the period target value as 12.5. The CPU 21 calculates a period achievement rate D (K) that is an achievement rate within a predetermined period (S47). In a specific example, the CPU 21 calculates 104% by dividing the period sewing amount A (K) by the period target value C (K). The CPU 21 determines whether the period of the variable K is the last period (S48). For example, the CPU 21 sets a period from 19:00 to 20:00 stored in the storage unit 24 as the last period. When it is not the last time (S48: NO), the CPU 21 adds 1 to the variable K (S54), and returns the process to S43. When it is the last time (S48: YES), the CPU 21 determines whether to select one of the period achievement rate D (K) for each period of the variable K and the value indicating the final target value as the display item (S49). The administrator can change the setting of the display item in the display setting change process. The storage unit 24 stores display items set in the display setting change process or initially set. The CPU 21 refers to the storage unit 24 to determine whether to select one of the period achievement rate D (K) for each period of the variable K and the value indicating the final target value from the display item. When one of the period achievement rate D (K) and the value indicating the final target value is selected (S49: YES), the CPU 21 excludes the other unselected item stored in the storage unit 24 from the display items (S50). When both the period achievement rate D (K) and the value indicating the final target value are selected (S49: NO), or after the process of S29, the CPU 21 sets the display format to a graph display as in S30. Is determined (S51).

  When the display format is set to graph display (S51: YES), the CPU 21 displays the display items in a graph (S52). In a specific example, when one of the period achievement rate D (K) and the value indicating the final target value is not selected (S49: NO), and the display format is set to a graph display (S51: YES), the CPU 21 13 second graph display screens 110 are displayed on the front of the screen being displayed on the LCD 27. The second graph display screen 110 includes a graph 111, a display column 112, and a switching key 113. A graph 111 displays the target number of sheets, the number of stitches, and the achievement rate for each predetermined period. The CPU 21 displays C (K) as the target number, A (K) as the number of sewing pieces, and D (K) as the achievement rate. The horizontal axis of the graph 111 indicates time. The vertical axis on the left shows the achievement rate. The vertical axis on the right indicates the number of sheets. The display column 112 displays the final target value of the sewing device 3. The switch key 113 is a key for requesting switching between time display on the horizontal axis and 12-hour display or 24-hour display. When the administrator selects the switching key 113, the CPU 21 switches the time display method on the horizontal axis by a process (not shown).

  When the display format is not set to graph display (S51: NO), the CPU 21 displays a list of display items (S53). When a value indicating the final target value is not selected in the specific example (S49: NO) and the display format is not a graph display (S51: YES), the CPU 21 displays the second list display screen 115 illustrated in FIG. . The second list display screen 115 includes a list 116 and a switching key 117. The list 116 includes an order 118, a period 119, a target number 120, a sewing number 121, and an achievement rate 122. The order 118 indicates the order of periods corresponding to the variable K. The period 119 indicates the end time from the start time of the period. The CPU 21 displays the period target value C (K) on the target number of sheets 120, displays the period sewing amount A (K) on the number of sewing sheets 121, and displays the period achievement rate D (K) on the achievement rate 122. A switch key 117 is a key for requesting to switch the time of the period 119 between 12-hour display and 24-hour display. When the administrator selects the switch key 117, the CPU 21 switches the display method of the time period 119 by a process not shown. After the process of S31 or S32, the CPU 21 ends the specific device display process and returns the process to the response process.

  The administrator can input a display setting change request by selecting the setting key 131 on the display setting change screen 130 of FIG. The display setting change screen 130 includes selection columns 132 to 134. The selection column 132 sets the display format to a graph or a list.
