Since the conventional transfer control system does not have the function of collecting information from the equipment, when the workable equipment for the work-in-progress process of a certain product exists over a plurality of transfer stations, which transfer operation is required. It was difficult to select the transfer destination depending on the operating status of the equipment, such as failure or maintenance, and whether or not setup change is required. Even when all workable equipment in the work-in-process is connected to or close to a single transfer station, it is similarly difficult to determine the final work equipment. On the contrary, since the work equipment has not been decided,
There was a problem that the equipment operator had to select a product to work with, and there was a problem that the equipment operator did not always work according to the priority of the product. Further, since the next delivery destination information is obtained when the product arrives at the delivery station 1, the work that occurs during the time when the product is delivered to the next delivery station or the work facility for the work-in-process of the product after the product is loaded It was difficult to respond to changes in the operational status of possible equipment. Further, it is possible to automatically change the product transfer destination without manually changing the destination for each process registered in advance in the transfer station 1 or the process progress management computer 2. Difficult except in the case of quantity. in addition,
If the destination is instructed only by the transfer station 1 or the process progress management computer 2 itself, there is a problem that the degree of freedom in changing the transfer destination decision logic is low.
