  When the facility has a plurality of floors, the passage network drawing unit 23 aligns the images Im of the respective floors of the facility input to the facility drawing database 22. The alignment of the images Im on each floor uses a marker M as shown in FIG. The markers M are set at two locations, a fixed position such as a corner of the facility and a fixed distance in the image Im of each floor. By superimposing the markers M, the images Im on the respective floors can be aligned. Further, by defining coordinates using the marker M and calculating using the coordinates, it is possible to specify an arbitrary place where the distance on the image Im of each floor is desired to be measured.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of a passage network created by the facility flow line planning support system of the present embodiment.

  The aisle network data generation unit 24 moves the icon Ic created by the aisle network drawing unit 23 by dragging or the like, thereby arranging the icon Ic on each floor image Im as shown in FIG. Further, a line L indicating a route is arranged in a passage portion through which the flow line of the facility drawing passes. A circle is attached to a portion where the line L intersects so that the connection of the flow lines can be easily checked. The line L may be automatically arranged so as to connect the icons Ic with a network. The line L may be a straight line or a curved line.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a flow line created by the facility flow line planning support system of the present embodiment.

  The flow line analysis unit 25 analyzes the shortest path of the flow line of an article in a facility where an arbitrary article passes at an arbitrary date and time. The analyzed flow line is indicated by an arrow as shown in FIG. Each arrow preferably uses a different color or line type so that it can be distinguished.

As shown in Table 1, the flow line analysis unit 25 can also analyze the path and distance of the flow line across the floors. In order to analyze the flow line across the floors, the distance analyzed on each floor may be added when passing through the elevator or the stairs.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of a route diagram created by the facility flow line planning support system of the present embodiment.

  The route diagram creation unit 26 creates the flow line analyzed by the flow line analysis unit 25 as a route diagram, and outputs it to the display unit 31 of the output unit 30. The route diagram is clearly printed so that the flow line shown in FIG. 5 can be easily seen. Accordingly, the user may clearly indicate FIG. 6 to the customer or the like.

  The route map creation unit 26 displays a portion where the flow line overlaps at a predetermined time so as to be different from other portions. The part where the flow line overlaps at a predetermined time is a cautionary part, so it is preferable to distinguish it from other parts. For example, the portion where the flow line overlaps at a predetermined time may be displayed by blinking or the like. Further, an audio output unit may be provided as the output unit 30 to generate an alarm or the like.

  As described above, the route map creation unit 26 displays the portion where the flow line overlaps at a predetermined time so as to be different from the other portions, so that the caution area where the flow line overlaps can be quickly noticed.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of an aggregation graph created by the facility flow line planning support system of the present embodiment.

The totaling unit 27 obtains the distance of the flow line analyzed by the flow line analyzing unit 25 as shown in Table 2 below, and outputs it to the display unit 31 of the output unit 30. In this example, an existing building is set as the first facility, and a new building is set as the second facility. Then, the distance calculated for the existing building was compared with the distance calculated for the new building.

  For example, as shown in Table 1, when the clean linen is dispensed, the distance is 109.8 m for an existing building. If it is a new building, it will be 44.0m. The difference is -65.8m, and it can be seen that the new building will be 60% shorter in distance.

  Thus, the totaling unit 27 can compare and show the distances totaled at the first facility and the distances totaled at the second facility, and thus can quickly understand the difference in distance. The totaling unit 27 can also display the contents of Table 1 on a graph as shown in FIG. 7 and output the contents to the display unit 31 of the output unit 30. By showing in the graph, the difference in distance can be understood more easily.
