It is determined that the abnormality notification may be transmitted to the manager terminal 700. The manufacturing manager may prevent additional production of defective parts by remotely stopping the operation of the printing unit 300 through the manager terminal 700. Alternatively, when the increase rate of the defective rate exceeds a threshold value, the manager terminal 700 may automatically provide a pop-up including information that the operation of the printing unit 300 is remotely stopped and stopped to the manufacturing manager, and the If the increase rate of the defect rate does not exceed the threshold value, but the defect rate becomes equal to a preset upper limit value of the defect rate, the monitor unit 500 may transmit an abnormality notification to the manager terminal 700. In this case, the manufacturing manager may remotely stop the operation of the printing unit 300 through the manager terminal 700 to prevent or maintain the additional production of defective parts to continue further production.

In an embodiment, when the defective rate displayed in the inspection information area 530 enters a certain range from the upper limit of the preset defective rate, the displayed defective rate may be displayed in red, and the inspection information area 530 ) The whole may flash together in red. Through this, the gaze of the manufacturing manager may be guided to the inspection information area 530.
