Description

Product-worker customized smart factory platform operation method and operation server {METHOD FOR MANAGING PRODUCT-WORKER CUSTOMIZED SMART FACTORY PLATFORM AND SERVER THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a product-operator customized smart factory platform operating method and operating server. In more detail, a product-operator customized smart factory platform operating method and operation that can effectively manage all information related to product production while efficiently instructing workers to work in response to the production process of various products and handling them in the factory. It's about the server.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) technology emerges, attempts are being made to transmit and receive meaningful information by connecting various devices through a network, and machines deployed in factories are no exception.

A factory to which these IoT technologies are applied is called a smart factory. Even for one product, it is unique that it goes through a complex production process from material to product completion. is not implemented, and the construction of a smart factory platform that can effectively manage all types of objects handled in the factory and all the meaningful information derived from them must be preceded.

Conventional smart factory platforms remain in a one-dimensional form that monitors the status of machines deployed in factories. A factory is a place where manufacturing is conducted, and the types of machines deployed and applied production processes are applied according to the types of products produced. This is because it is difficult to build a smart factory platform that can be universally applied to all factories due to the uniqueness of this myriad, and the construction cost also requires a considerable amount.

On the other hand, workers are assigned to machines deployed in most factories except for fully automated factories to perform production processes. Conventional factory managers instructed workers to work by e-mail or by using wired or paper documents. It caused trouble in ordering work, and there is a problem in that manpower consumption occurs because the manager himself had to write and manage work instructions by reflecting whether or not the machine to be instructed to work and the production process were used one by one.

Therefore, it is possible to effectively manage all types of objects handled in the factory and all the meaningful information derived from them, and at the same time, it can be universally applied to all factories at a relatively economical cost, and it is possible to efficiently create and manage work instructions. A factory platform is required. The present invention relates to this.

However, this is only a preferred embodiment in achieving the object of the present invention, and some steps may be added or deleted as necessary, and any one step may be included in another step and performed.

Meanwhile, in the following description, the product-worker customized smart factory platform operation server 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is named the server 100 for convenience, but the same code is used to continue the description.

First, the server 100 receives and registers one or more base information related to production of one or more of the first to Nth products from a manager (S210).

Here, N is an integer of 2 or more, and more specifically, it may be the number of types of products produced in a factory to which the product-operator customized smart factory platform operation method according to the second embodiment of the present invention is applied.

On the other hand, the basic information is information related to the production of one or more of the first to Nth products, for example, first basic information about the material used for product production, second about one or more molds corresponding to the product. Basic information, third basic information about one or more machines on which a mold is to be mounted, fourth basic information about peripheral devices interoperable with one or more of materials, molds, and machines through a network, and information about a line including one or more machines. It may be one or more of 5 base information, and the first to fifth base information may be different depending on the type of product produced in the factory, and the first to fifth base information described above may be used as base information. Let's continue the explanation by taking a representative example of .

Figure 3 is a flow chart showing specific steps included in step S210, step S210 is a step of receiving and registering first base information about one or more materials used in product production from a manager (S210-1), corresponding to the product Step of receiving and registering second basic information about one or more molds from a manager (S210-2), receiving and registering third basic information about one or more machines on which to mount molds from a manager (S210-3), Receiving and registering fourth basic information about one or more of materials, molds, and machines and a peripheral device that can be interlocked through a network from a manager (S210-4), and fifth basic information about a line including one or more machines It may include one or more steps of receiving and registering from the manager (S210-5).

Here, the manager may be a representative manager of the factory itself to which the product-operator customized smart factory platform operation method according to the second embodiment of the present invention is applied, or a general manager authorized to instruct the operator to work, based on the manager's Information reception may be performed by a manager inputting basic information to a manager's terminal (not shown), which is an electronic device having a network function, such as a computer, smart phone, PDP, or PMP interlocked with the server 100 .

The first basic information on one or more materials used in product production may be one or more of the material's name, type, quantity, company number, warehousing date, manufacturer, and manufacturing number. It can include all of the intermediate materials and empty materials processed from the above raw materials, and the first basic information on materials is universal information managed by all factories regardless of the type of product produced by the factory.

The first base information on these materials is information linked to one or more of the second to fifth base information to be described later, and when a product is produced on a line including a machine equipped with a mold using the material, each This is because the basic information is in a relationship that can have an organic influence on each other.

The first base information on the registered material may be output as a material information list, and the first base information registered on the material information list may be modified, and the material information list may include not only the registered first base information but also warehousing application information for the corresponding material. In this case, a real-time notification is sent to the manufacturer of the material, including the requester for warehousing, the warehousing application date, and the expected warehousing date. Even the warehousing schedule can be registered, so by efficiently managing the quantity of materials, it is possible to fundamentally prevent a situation that causes a disruption in product production due to lack of materials, and it can be effectively used in managing product production schedules.

In addition, when the quantity of materials falls below a preset quantity, a notification may be automatically sent to the manager or the server 100 may be implemented to perform a warehousing application on its own. can check the details of the warehousing application, so that immediate action can be taken if the warehousing application needs correction.

More specifically, the automatic warehousing application by the server 100 will be in principle to perform a warehousing application for a predetermined quantity set by the manager, but according to the manager's setting, the minimum quantity to be maintained in stock and the current quantity of material It may be implemented to calculate the difference in and carry out a request for warehousing only as much as the quantity corresponding to the difference.

The second base information on one or more molds corresponding to the product may be one or more of a manufacturer, manufacturing number, manufacturing specification, name, type, and number of the mold, and the second base information on the mold is that the product produced in the factory is a mold. This is special information that is managed only for products produced using

In the case of a factory that produces products using molds, it is common for molds to be provided from outside companies, and maintenance and repairs are required depending on use, so at least one of information on the manufacturer that manufactures molds, manufacturing number, and manufacturing specifications. this is required

The second base information on the mold is closely related to the first base information on the material and the third base information on the machine to which the mold is to be mounted, and thus the quantity of products produced by the machine to which the mold is to be mounted using the material. Correspondingly, the lifespan of the mold decreases, and the lifespan of the mold can be efficiently managed by monitoring the first base information on these materials and the third base information on the machine on which the mold is mounted.

The second base information for the registered mold may be output as a mold information list, and the registered second base information on the mold information list may be modified, and the mold information list may include first base information for the material as well as the registered second base information. It may further include one or more of information on the quantity of materials and the quantity of products produced through the machine equipped with the mold according to the above, and information on the remaining life of the mold reflecting this may be additionally included.

Furthermore, if the remaining life of the mold falls below a predetermined lifespan, a notification may be automatically sent to the manager or the server 100 may be implemented to request a new mold order by itself to the mold manufacturer. In the latter case, order application details is sent to the manager so that the manager can check the details of the order request and take immediate action if the order request needs to be modified.

On the other hand, among the second base information on the mold, the name, type, and number of the mold can be registered by receiving the name, type, and number assigned by the manufacturer of the mold as it is. Therefore, of course, it will be said that the manager can assign and register its own name, type and number to match the current status of the factory to which the product-operator customized smart factory platform operation method according to the second embodiment of the present invention is applied.

The third base information for one or more machines on which the mold is to be mounted may be one or more of machine name, type, number, manufacturer, maximum daily production volume, manufacturer number, manufacturer detailed information, and photo, and the third base information for the machine is This is universal information managed by all factories regardless of the type of product produced by the factory.

Except for home-made factories, it is common for factories engaged in manufacturing to place machines used for product production. Since the machines themselves are very expensive and directly affect product production, there is no third-party The need for basic information management is very great.

Among the third basic information about machines, the name, type, and number of the machine can be registered by receiving the name, type, and number assigned to the manufacturer of the machine as it is. According to the second embodiment of the present invention, the manager can assign and register its own name, type, and number to match the current status of the factory to which the smart factory platform operation method tailored to product-worker is applied.

On the other hand, among the third base information on machines, the manufacturer number and manufacturer detailed information of the machine are information related to A/S or replacement of the machine, so the manufacturer number and manufacturer detailed information given by the manufacturer are intact except in extremely exceptional cases. It would be advisable to register.

The 3rd basic information about the registered machine can be output as a machine information list, and the 3rd basic information registered on the machine information list can be modified. At least one of information and failure information may be further included, through which efficient management of machines producing products may be possible.

It is common for recent machines to have a longer usable time than before due to technological development, but in the case of factories operating in the manufacturing industry, it is common for workers to work in shifts and operate machines day and night. Remaining life will inevitably decrease, and if a new machine is ordered after the remaining life of the machine has expired, production may become unavailable during the time needed to build, ship and deploy the machine.

In order to prevent this situation, the machine information list includes information on the driving time of the machine, and according to that purpose, the information on the driving time of the machine can be updated in real time in conjunction with the driving time of the machine. In this case, It should be premised that the machine is linked with the server 100 by having a network function.

For example, if the usable hours of a machine recommended by the machine manufacturer are 10,000 hours, when the 3rd basic information about the machine is registered for the first time, the machine information list displays the machine's driving time as 0, and then the machine is The operating time may be updated in real time corresponding to the operating time, and the server 100 automatically sends a notification to the manager when the operating time of the machine exceeds a predetermined time compared to the available time, or the server 100 automatically sends a notification to the administrator. It is also possible to implement a new machine order request to the machine manufacturer by itself. In the latter case, the order request details are sent to the manager so that the manager can check the order request details and take immediate action if the order request needs correction. can make you take it.

On the other hand, if the machine is used according to the user manual, the possibility of failure can be reduced, but nevertheless, there may be cases where each operator does not use the user manual according to the user manual. If these situations accumulate, the machine itself may malfunction. There may be situations where production becomes impossible.

In order to prevent this situation, the machine information list includes information on whether or not the machine has failed, and according to that purpose, the information on whether or not the machine has broken can be updated in real time in conjunction with the server 100. In this case, Again, it should be premised that the machine is linked with the server 100 by having a network function.

More specifically, the information on whether or not the machine is out of order is information on large and small errors that occur in all situations such as the machine's operating or idle state, and information on the need for replacement of parts included in the machine according to the remaining lifespan. Information, information on a state requiring entry into an idle state by driving for a long time, and the like may be included, which may be transmitted to the server 100 in the form of a code indicating each information.

In addition, when information on whether or not a machine is broken is transmitted to the server 100, it can be implemented to send a notification to the manager or the manufacturer of the machine at the same time, but the manager can take his own action depending on the type of failure Since there may be cases, it may be implemented to distinguish according to the type of code and send a notification to the manager for a failure that can be handled by itself, and to the manufacturer of the machine for a failure that cannot be handled by itself.

On the other hand, in the case of the latter, the notification about the failure that can be taken by itself is sent only to the manager, so the manufacturer of the machine may not be aware of the fact that the failure has occurred, preventing the hassle of receiving all notifications. Even if it is excluded, there is a need to check the machine use history including whether the customer who sold the machine has a breakdown.

In this case, the server 100 may transmit log information of all usage details of the machine, including notification of failures capable of self-action, to the manufacturer of the machine at regular intervals of a predetermined period. Server 100 is to perform the same role as the ECU (Electronic Control Unit).

On the other hand, since a notification is sent to the manufacturer of the machine for a failure that cannot be taken by itself, the manufacturer of the machine transmits the date of the A/S visit to the server 100, and the server 100 can output it to the machine information list. , If it is difficult to visit A/S because the manager is away on that day, requesting to change the date of A/S visit can be performed at once on the machine information list, and vice versa. That is, the A/S visit request date entered by the administrator in the server 100 is transmitted to the manufacturer of the machine, and if it is difficult to visit on that date, the manufacturer of the machine sends a request to change the A/S visit date to the server 100. and output to machine information list.

The fourth base information for a peripheral device interoperable with one or more of materials, molds, and machines through a network may be one or more of the name, type, number, manufacturer, manufacturer number, detailed information of the manufacturer, and a picture of the peripheral device. The fourth basic information for is universal information managed by all factories regardless of the type of products produced by the factories.

Since the fourth base information on peripheral devices is basically the same as the third base information on machines, a detailed description thereof will be omitted to prevent redundant description, and only differences will be described.

A peripheral device is a device that can be interlocked with one or more of materials, molds, and machines through a network, so it must have a network function as its own body, and materials, molds, and machines will be the same.

On the other hand, in the case of a machine, it is not awkward to have a network function because various parts are an assembly, but in the case of materials and molds, it may be a problem how to have a network function because such a thing is not common.

In the case of materials, the size of individual materials may make it impossible to attach network modules, and in most cases, it is not appropriate to attach network modules to each individual material in terms of cost, so materials that include multiple pieces of the same type of material A network module can be attached to the unit of the aggregate. For example, if 100,000 pieces of material A are ordered and received, one network module is attached to 100,000 pieces of material A, and the attachment location of the network module can be a packaging container or pallet of material A. .

If a network module is attached to such a material assembly, management information about the current location, warehousing, and outgoing of the material assembly is transmitted to the server 100, so that the management of the material is more efficient along with the first base information on the material described above. can be achieved with

In the case of a mold, there may be cases where the network module cannot be attached depending on the size of the product to be produced, and since the unit price of the mold itself is relatively high, attaching the network module is not a big burden in terms of cost. Therefore, if the mold is large enough to attach the network module, it will be possible to attach the network module to an area other than the area where the machine is mounted and the area where the product is printed. If the mold has a tag, the network module in the form of a tag may be connected to the outside of the mold using a connection means such as thread, rubber band, or wire.

On the other hand, when a product is produced using a mold, the upper mold and lower mold are interlocked to produce a product, so the upper mold and lower mold can be viewed as a set, and the network module can be individually or It may be attached or connected, and in some cases, the upper mold and the lower mold may be integrated and connected on a line that does not interfere with mounting the machine.

If a network module is attached to such a mold, management information on the current location and use of the mold is transmitted to the server 100, so that management of the mold can be achieved more efficiently together with the previously described second base information on the mold. .

Since most of the network modules described above are indoors, the factory itself is a module that is smaller in size and less affected by other objects in the indoor space, such as RFID modules, Wi-Fi modules, ZigBee modules, and Bluetooth modules rather than GPS modules. It would be preferable to select

Let's go back to the description of the peripheral device.

Peripheral devices are devices that can be interlocked with one or more of materials, molds, and machines through a network and assist them at the same time. If a machine is described as an example, it means all devices installed directly or indirectly in an independent machine, and materials, molds, and It is desirable that a network module supporting the network in the same way as the network module installed in the machine should be installed.

The fifth basic information about a line including one or more machines may be one or more of a line number, detailed information, and a type, number, and name of one or more machines included in the line, and the fifth basic information about the line is a factory This is special information that is managed only when the product produced by is a product that is completed through one or more machines.

The fifth basic information about a line can be registered only when the registration of the third basic information about a machine described above is preceded, and therefore, one or more machines are required in a line itself, and registration of a line means one or more basic information included in the line. This is because it is registered for more than one machine.

Therefore, when the server 100 receives one or more types of machines included in a line from the manager for line registration, the received machine is included in the corresponding line, and repeating this process a plurality of times for the corresponding line, Lines containing machines can be registered.

In addition, a line may be registered by simultaneously selecting a plurality of machines while registering one line, and the arrangement order of machines included in the line may be a problem.

In this case, the administrator can individually adjust the arrangement order of the machines, and if the server 100 has production process information on products produced in the factory, the arrangement order of the machines is automatically adjusted in response to the production process. can also be adjusted.

On the other hand, if there are many types of machines deployed in the factory or if there are many types of products to be produced, and if the product has to go through a complicated production process, the manager may have difficulty registering individual lines one by one, so the server 100 may have a security measure for this. be explained below.

When one or more machine types included in the line are received from the manager, the server 100 may output a first list including information on machines of the same type as the received one or more machine types to the operator's terminal. The first list can be output by distinguishing one or more machines included in a line different from the corresponding line and one or more machines that can be added to the corresponding line.

For example, when the manager selects "press machine 1" and the server 100 receives it, the first list includes information on pre-registered "press machine 2 to press machine 5", and press machine 2 And when the press machine 4 is included in another line, the press machine 2, the press machine 4, the press machine 3, and the press machine 5 are output separately.

More specifically, distinguishing and outputting relates to visual distinction. Press machine 2, press machine 4, press machine 3, and press machine 5 are printed in different colors on the first list, or press machine 2 and press machine 4 However, it may be implemented to prevent the manager from selecting itself, and press machine 2 and press machine 4 themselves may not be output. In this case, there will be no confusion when the manager selects the machines to be included in the line, and the machine operation and line management can be easily achieved.

Furthermore, when selection information about one or more machines included in the first list is received from the manager, the server 100 receives one or more machines that have received the selection information and one or more machines that can be placed in front of, behind, or behind the production process. A second list including information on the machine may be output to the operator's terminal.

As mentioned above, this can be very useful when a product has to go through a complicated production process. For example, when “press machine 1” is selected and the server 100 receives it, the press machine in the production process "Feeder 1" and "Feeder 2" that can be placed before or after 1 are included in the second list and output.

Since this second list is output only when a machine is selected from the manager after the first list is output, it can be seen that the machine included in the second list is a machine that is unlikely to be included in another line. Even if the product goes through a complicated production process, you will be able to easily register the line.

So far, the specific steps included in step S210 have been described with reference to FIG. 3, and steps S210-1 to S210-5 may include one or more steps in step S210, but as described above, the first base information to the th 5 Since the base information is organically related information, it would be desirable to include all stages if possible.

Furthermore, product information including a product name, a product number, a category to which the product belongs, etc. may be received from the manager and registered in addition to the first to fifth basic information. One or more of the base information may be interlocked.

On the other hand, in the case of a factory to which only some of the first to fifth basic information is applied, it is possible to easily customize the basic information, so that a smart factory platform optimized for individual factory conditions can be rescued.

Let's go back to the description of FIG. 2 again.

If the base information is received from the manager and registered, the server 100 receives and registers a work order from the manager including work information about a worker who will be in charge of producing one or more of the first to Nth products (S220).

If step S210 described above is a step related to information related to product production, step S220 to be described below is a step related to information related to a worker who will produce the product.

4 is a flowchart showing specific steps included in step S220, which includes receiving and registering first job information about one or more lines to be put in by a worker and one or more machines to be in charge of from a manager (S220-1). , Receiving and registering second job information about one or more of categories, product numbers, and product names for one or more products to be produced by the operator from the manager (S220-2), and registering the one or more products to be produced by the operator (S220-2). Receiving and registering the third work information for the production target amount from the manager (S220-3), the fourth for the work target period including the work start date and work completion date of one or more products to be produced by the worker Receiving and registering job information from a manager (S220-4), receiving and registering fifth job information from a manager including selection information for a worker in charge of production and selection information for a sharer to share the same ( It may include one or more steps of receiving and registering an attached file related to one or more of the first to fifth task information from the manager (S220-5) and (S220-6).

The first job information is information about one or more lines to be put in by the operator and one or more machines to be in charge of, where the machine means a machine included in the previously described line and registered, and the corresponding line and machine through the first job information. It is easy to assign the person in charge.

For example, if “press machine 1” and “press machine 2” are registered in “line 1”, the first job information may be “line 1 / press machine 1” or “line 1 / press machine 2”, In the case of machines including the same line, it is common that they are arranged in adjacent positions, so the first job information can be registered for a plurality of machines for the same line, for example, to the same operator "Line 1 / press machine" 1" and "Line 1/Press machine 2" can be registered simultaneously as the first job information.

On the other hand, if a specific operator has the capacity in charge of one type of machine, the same type of machine belonging to different lines can be registered at the same time as first job information, for example, "Line 1 / Press machine 1" and "line 2/press machine 3" may be registered as the first job information.

The second job information is information on one or more of categories, product numbers, and product names for one or more products to be produced by the operator, and the manager can easily manage which products the operator is instructed to produce through the second job information. and workers can see at a glance which products they will be responsible for producing.

In relation to the second job information, it is also frequently the case that one operator is in charge of the entire production process for one product, for example, a case in which one operator is in charge of all line 1 producing product 1. In this case, it is possible to build a smart factory platform optimized for the characteristics of individual factory operation by having the first job information automatically registered when only the second job information is received and registered without the need to cumbersomely receive and register the first job information. will do

In addition, when receiving and registering the product information described above, if the category, product number, and product name for the product are grouped, in receiving and registering the second work information, only one of these information is received The rest of the grouped information may also be registered together.

Since the third job information is information about a production target amount of one or more products to be produced by a worker, efficient management of production volume may be possible through the third job information.

In receiving and registering the third work information, the first to fourth base information described above can be utilized, so that the production target can be achieved according to the quantity of materials, the lifespan of molds and machines, and the lifespan of peripheral devices. because it is determined whether there is

More specifically, when receiving the third job information from the manager, the server 100 outputs a separate pop-up window if the received third job information does not match the first to fourth bases to determine the production target amount. It can be modified, and material orders, molds, machines and peripherals orders, and A/S requests can all be implemented in the pop-up window itself. Since this was a function provided by the material information list, mold information list, machine information list, and peripheral device list described above, the corresponding function was provided in parallel in the process of registering the work order, thereby providing the material information list, mold information list, and machine information list. and to prevent the inconvenience of separately checking the list of peripheral devices.

The fourth task information is information about a task target period including a task start date and a task completion date of one or more products to be produced by a worker, and thus, production schedules may be efficiently managed through the fourth task information.

Reception of the 4th task information may include inputting the task start date and task completion date individually from the manager, or outputting a calendar through a separate pop-up window and selecting the task start date and task completion date. 5 The work schedule of the worker to be explained in the job information, for example, if there is a scheduled half-day, annual leave, vacation, etc., information on this can be output together.

In addition, when registering the fourth work information, the third base information may be utilized, and more specifically, information on the maximum production amount per day may be utilized. For example, if the maximum daily production of "press machine 1" is "1,000 pieces" and the third task information is "10,000 pieces", and the fourth task information, the task target period, is entered as 7 days, a separate pop-up window is displayed. Since the production target amount cannot be achieved through this, a notification to change the work target period or change the production target amount can be output.

Fifth job information includes selection information on a worker in charge of production and selection information on a sharer to share the same. Through the fifth job information, it is possible to manage the worker's time and attendance and share work details.

The selection information on workers to be in charge of production is output through a method in which a list of all workers working in a factory to which the product-worker customized smart factory platform operation method according to the second embodiment of the present invention is applied is output and selected from this list. In the case of a sharer to share it, when a worker is selected, a worker who performs work in conjunction with the worker or a middle manager who manages the worker can be automatically selected and added individually, of course .

The sixth job information is information about an attached file related to one or more of the first to fifth job information, and various materials that can contribute to the worker's job performance can be provided through the sixth job information.

For example, you can register things to keep in mind when driving a machine, pictures of products, and documents that describe matters in case you need to achieve your production target quickly. There is no limit to the format of files that can be registered. will be.

So far, the detailed steps included in step S220 have been described with reference to FIG. 4, and steps S220-1 to S220-6 may include one or more steps in step S220, but as described above, the first task information to the th 6 Since the basic information is information related to the worker who will produce the product, it would be desirable to include all steps if possible.

Let's go back to the description of FIG. 2 again.

If the work instruction is received from the manager and registered, the server 100 receives and registers the work detail status for the work instruction from the operator (S230).

In order to receive and register the work history status of the work order from the worker, the worker needs to be able to check the registered work order, and accordingly, the work order registered between steps S220 and S230 is operated on the worker's terminal (not shown) It may further include a step of outputting as details (S225), and since the description of the operator's terminal (not shown) is the same as the description of the manager's terminal (not shown), detailed description is omitted to prevent redundant description. let it do

In the work history output on the operator's terminal (not shown), when registering the work order, the work history status may be initially set to "standby", and as the work history status, one or more of "Progress, Stop, Complete, and Share" can be received and registered.

In this case, since it may be difficult to identify at a glance with only letters in terms of UI (User Interface), “Waiting” is the first color, and “Progress, Stop, Complete, and Share” are individually assigned to one of the second to fifth colors. It can be output by matching with .

So far, the product-worker customized smart factory platform operation method according to the second embodiment of the present invention has been described. According to the present invention, all meaningful information related to product production, from materials to lines, can be integrated and managed, and at the same time, a separate notification is provided to prevent errors from occurring in the registration of information linked to each other. It has the advantage of efficient operation. In addition, since all meaningful information is stored in the server 100 itself or stored in a separate database (not shown), information can be accumulated according to use, which can be converted into big data and reflected in factory operation. In addition, in line registration, machines included in other lines are distinguished and output, and when one or more machines are selected, a list including information on other machines that can be placed before or after reflects the production process is output. , Even if there are many machines deployed in the factory, the line can be easily built. In addition, inventory management of materials, ordering of molds, machines and peripheral devices, and A/S can be easily performed on the platform, so unnecessary labor consumption for this can be prevented. In addition, since it can manage both universal information managed by all factories and special information managed only by some factories, it can be customized and easily introduced to various factories. In addition, only the server construction cost is primarily borne, but individual items can be easily customized, so it has the advantage of being able to introduce a smart factory at a relatively economical cost. In addition, since easy registration of work instructions given to workers and registration of work detail status can be facilitated, it is possible to bring efficiency to worker management and product production management.

Although not described in detail to prevent redundant description, all technical features applied to the product-worker customized smart factory platform operating method according to the second embodiment of the present invention described above are product-worker customized according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Of course, the same can be applied to the smart factory platform operation server 100.
