Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute easily a directional property and a positioning of a storage medium by forming a vessel for mounting a production management storage device, to a cylinder whose one tip is a projecting cone. CONSTITUTION:In the inside of a production management storage device 2, a storage device 3 of an information for showing a process sequence, a storage device 4 of an indicating information required for an operation of each process, a storage device 5 of operation actual result information of each process, an interface device 6 to information of these storage devices and a system of the outside, and an electric power supplying device 7 for holding a storage of these storage devices are mounted to a cylinder 8 whose one tip is a cone 9. According to this constitution, a directional property and a positioning of the storage medium are executed easily by mounting the production management storage device to the cylinder whose one end is a cone.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a storage device for production management.

A storage medium that stores the process order information of the work necessary for production on the production line and work instruction information for each process is attached to the product at each process by carrying it around with the product. There are production management systems that can read media, check the process order of work, display work instructions for the process, or automatically set work conditions for production equipment to ensure smooth production.

Conventionally, a read-only storage device that can be written electrically as a storage medium but cannot be erased has been mounted in a flat container like a cash card used in banks, etc., as shown in Figure 1. .

However, there is a problem with the orientation of the flat container on the platform where the storage device for production management is handled by an automatic handling device. The orientation of the flat container will be explained using FIG. 2. The production control storage device 1' in FIG. 2 is in the correct direction with respect to the interface direction, but the direction of the production control storage device 1', Ill, is incorrect.

This is a problem caused by the lack of orientation of containers in conventional storage devices for production management.

The object of the present invention is to provide a storage device for production control implemented in a directional container.

According to the present invention, the directionality of the container can be determined by making the shape of the container in which the production management storage device is mounted a cylinder with one end being a convex cone.

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. Inside the production management storage device 2, there is a storage device 3 for information indicating the process order as shown in (a) to (a) to (a), a storage device f#, 4 for instruction information necessary for the work of each process, and a storage device f#, 4 for instruction information necessary for the work for each process, and the work for each process. A storage device 5 for performance information, and an interface device f for the information in the storage device and an external system! t6 and a power supply device 7 for retaining the memory of the storage device are mounted on a cylinder 8 having a cone 9 at one end.

An arithmetic control unit and some data buses, address buses, etc. for controlling the storage devices 3 to 5 and the interface device 60 are not shown.

According to the present invention, as is clear from the above description, by mounting the production management storage device in a cylinder whose one end is conical, the directionality and positioning of the storage medium becomes easy. Therefore, the storage medium according to the present invention can be easily handled by an automatic handling device, greatly contributing to the automation of each process.
