DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a functional conceptual diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. For example, the case where the present embodiment is used to collect the production performance data in the intermediate product storage warehouse will be described below. Human-machine for inputting performance data built on the production performance data collection device 15 and performance collection terminal
(Or Machine-Machine) interface 12, which is performed by the record data input process 12 of the record data input terminal 14. Data storage terminal 13
Is composed of the following functions in the production performance data collection device 15. The transmission file 1 that is the intermediate warehouse storage record information to be passed to the higher-level production management system, the transmission file creation 4 for creating this transmission file 1, and the intermediate warehouse withdrawal instruction information created by the higher-level production management system. The saved received file 2, the received file registration 3, the record / instruction database 5, the record sequential file 6,
There is a record sequential file access process 7, a record / instruction database access process 8, a function distribution process 9, and a communication management unit 10 that manages network communication with the record data input terminal 14.

Then, the remotely placed result data input terminal 14 has a communication management unit 11 that manages network communication with the communication management unit 10 of the production result data collection device 15.
And a performance data input process 12 for exchanging messages with workers.

In this system, the physical distribution unit of the production process is performed for each container, and the information of the articles contained in the container is collectively stored in the record / instruction database 5 of the data storage terminal 13. Save build. When putting one item into the warehouse, first, using the terminal 14 for collecting actual data of the intermediate product storage warehouse, the container number containing the item is input. The result data input processing 12 creates a search command for article information based on the input container number, and passes the command from the communication management unit 11 of network communication to the communication management unit 10. The message by this command is subjected to message analysis in the message function allocation processing 9, and then the actual / instruction database access processing 8 searches the container information management file previously stored in the actual / instruction database 5 to retrieve the information. From the message function distribution processing 9 to the communication management unit 10 for network communication,
It is output to the process 12 for inputting actual data via the communication management unit 11. In the process 12 for inputting the result data, the above information is displayed on the display, and the operator's correctness check is received. Then, after the check, the actual data input processing 12 creates the intermediate warehouse hold actual data and the intermediate warehouse management data, and passes them to the function allocation processing 9 via the communication management unit 11 and the communication management unit 10 of the network. In the function allocation processing 9, the intermediate warehouse hold record data and the intermediate warehouse management data are analyzed, and the intermediate warehouse hold record data is registered in the intermediate warehouse hold record file 6 by the result sequential file access process 7, and the intermediate warehouse The management data is registered in the intermediate warehouse management file constructed in the performance / instruction database 5 by the performance / instruction database access process 8.

The intermediate warehouse hold record information is passed twice a day to a higher-level production management system. For example,
The first time, the transmission file creation process 4 is started at noon and the transmission file 1 is created. The second time, when a message indicating the end of work is input by the operator from the process 12 for inputting actual data, a transmission file creation command is created and passed to the communication management unit 11 of the network communication. Message analysis is performed in distribution processing 9, and then transmission file 1 is created by transmission file creation processing 4.

The intermediate warehouse payout instruction created by the higher-level production management system is passed to the received file registration 3 with the information indicating the instruction stored in the received file 2. Then, in the reception file registration 3, the intermediate warehouse payout instruction is registered in the intermediate warehouse payout instruction file constructed on the result / instruction database 5.

When paying out one item at the terminal for collecting actual data in the intermediate product storage warehouse, the paying-out work instruction number is input by the operator using the process 12 for inputting actual data. In the result data input processing 12, a command for searching the payout instruction data is created based on the input payout instruction number, and the communication management unit 11 to the communication management unit 10 of the network are created.
Passed to. In the process 12 for inputting actual data, a command for searching inventory data in the intermediate warehouse management file is created based on this payout instruction data, passed from the communication management unit 11 of the network to the communication management unit 10, and the same method as the container management information is used. The retrieved data is passed to the performance data input process 12.
The actual data input terminal 14 displays the container number allocated for delivery and the intermediate warehouse storage information to the higher-level production management system based on the inventory data and the delivery data, and then displays the stored container number to the worker. In the process 12 for inputting the actual result data, when the container number actually paid out is input, the intermediate warehouse payout result data is created and passed from the communication management unit 11 of the network to the communication management unit 10 to obtain the intermediate warehouse hold actual result data. Similarly, it is registered in the intermediate warehouse hold record file 6. In addition, a command for deleting the inventory data of the intermediate warehouse management file is created and passed from the communication management unit 11 of the network to the communication management unit 10, and the result / instruction is sent via the message function distribution processing 9 and the result / instruction database access processing 8. It is deleted from the intermediate warehouse management file constructed in the database 5.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the production record data generated at the production points can be quickly and surely transmitted to the production control department. In addition, production information etc. at the production point where the result data input terminal is arranged is promptly transmitted to the production management department, and since each production point and the production management department are connected by the network configuration, it is possible to use other than the own production point. The production performance data of can be quickly obtained, and can be easily and instantly used as production utilization information at one's own production point, and more advanced production management can be performed.
