Description

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is a technology effective when applied to a layout mat computerization system that distributes components to an optimum position on the layout table when the components are taken out from the warehouse at the manufacturing site, and a layout table in which the layout mat is spread. It is about.

  For example, at a manufacturing site, parts delivered from a warehouse are arranged on a distribution table and supplied to an assembly work site. Usually, since parts are distributed on the table, the assembly operator finds out the parts when performing the assembly work, and takes a lot of assembly time.

  To improve it, there is what is called a mat. This layout mat eliminates the task of searching for parts by placing the layout mat on the layout table, specifying the layout positions of the parts, and arranging them in the assembly order, thereby improving the efficiency of the assembly work.

  For example, Patent Document 1 describes a technology that enables a specific component layout instruction while quickly responding to a change in production status as a layout support system. This technique is a technique for displaying information on the shape and dimensions of parts and information on the shape and dimensions of the layout table on a monitor provided at the site of the layout work.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-228561 describes a technology as an electronic component distribution system in which electronic components to be distributed are efficiently and accurately distributed in lot units and supplied to an assembly process. This technique is a technique in which the picking device picks an electronic component from the delivery pallet based on the storage position of the delivery pallet and the coordinates of the electronic component to be delivered, and distributes the electronic component to the delivery pallet.
