 以下、本発明の実施例につき図面を用いて説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
 図1は、一実施例における生産システム全体のブロック図である。図1において、プリント基板(以下では単に、基板と呼ぶことがある)に部品を搭載するための生産システムは、本実施例の特徴が特に反映されるところの生産管理システム1のほか、生産最適化システム2、生産計画システム3を有する。図1では、本実施例で生産管理システム1と呼ぶ範囲が破線で囲んで示されている。 FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the entire production system in one embodiment. In FIG. 1, the production system for mounting components on a printed circuit board (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as a board) is not only the production management system 1 in which the features of this embodiment are particularly reflected, but also the production optimum. System 2 and production planning system 3. In FIG. 1, a range called a production management system 1 in the present embodiment is shown surrounded by a broken line.
 まず、生産管理システム1の上位に位置する生産最適化システム2と、生産最適化システム2の上位に位置する生産計画システム3について説明する。生産最適化システム2と生産計画システム3は、ともにCPU(Central Processing Unit)とメモリを有し、CPUで動作する動作制御用のソフトウェアが搭載されたシステムである。 First, the production optimization system 2 positioned above the production management system 1 and the production planning system 3 positioned above the production optimization system 2 will be described. The production optimization system 2 and the production planning system 3 each have a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a memory, and are installed with operation control software that operates on the CPU.
 生産システムの最上位に位置する生産計画システム3は、次に説明するような生産情報を生成して、生産最適化システム2に供給する。生産計画システム3は、生成した生産情報を生産最適化システム2に供給することにより、例えば基板IDが0001番の基板を10枚、基板IDが1101番の基板を100枚、8月1日までに生産せよ、というような指図を、使用する部品の情報を伴いながら生成する。 The production planning system 3 positioned at the top of the production system generates production information as described below and supplies it to the production optimization system 2. The production planning system 3 supplies the generated production information to the production optimization system 2 so that, for example, 10 substrates with a substrate ID of 0001 and 100 substrates with a substrate ID of 1101 are available until August 1st. An instruction, such as “Produce the product”, is generated with information on the parts to be used.
 図2は、一実施例における生産情報のデータフォーマットを示す。生産情報とは、例えば生産する基板の製品名、ロット番号、識別符号である基板ID、基板に必要な部品とその在庫情報、さらには、これから生産する枚数と要求納期に係る情報を有している。 FIG. 2 shows a data format of production information in one embodiment. The production information includes, for example, the product name of the board to be produced, the lot number, the board ID which is an identification code, the parts necessary for the board and its inventory information, and further information on the number of boards to be produced and the required delivery date. Yes.
 図1に示したように生産最適化システム2は、供給された生産情報と、生産管理システム1が含むBOM(Bills Of Materials)情報データベース12から供給されたBOM情報とに基づいて、作業計画を作成し、前記した生産情報とともに生産管理システム1、特に生産管理システム1の動作制御を行う制御部11に供給する。 As shown in FIG. 1, the production optimization system 2 generates a work plan based on the supplied production information and the BOM information supplied from the BOM (Bills Of Materials) information database 12 included in the production management system 1. The information is generated and supplied to the control unit 11 that controls the operation of the production management system 1, particularly the production management system 1, together with the production information.
 図3は、一実施例におけるBOM情報のデータフォーマットを示す。 FIG. 3 shows the data format of BOM information in one embodiment.
 BOM情報は、本実施例においては、例えば回路基板に搭載する回路部品に係る情報を有する。BOM情報データベース12は、図3で部品1、部品2と記したように、各部品の識別情報(ID)に対応させながら多種類の部品に係る情報を蓄積する。BOM情報は、例えば生産管理システム1における生産工程、作業ツールをはじめとする設備条件、生産工程における取付け作業の作業時間(ST;Standard Time)、使用するハンダ鏝の温度をはじめとする定められた作業条件に係る情報を有するほか、作業指示ユニット14に係る情報であるLP(Laser Pointer)表示条件、検査ユニット15に係る情報であるカメラ検査条件をも有している。LP表示条件とカメラ検査条件については、後に詳しく説明する。 In the present embodiment, the BOM information includes information related to circuit components mounted on the circuit board, for example. The BOM information database 12 stores information relating to various types of components while corresponding to the identification information (ID) of each component, as described as component 1 and component 2 in FIG. The BOM information is defined by, for example, the production process in the production management system 1, the equipment conditions including the work tool, the working time (ST: Standard Time) of the installation work in the production process, and the temperature of the soldering iron to be used. In addition to information related to the work conditions, LP (Laser Pointer) display conditions that are information related to the work instruction unit 14 and camera inspection conditions that are information related to the inspection unit 15 are also included. The LP display condition and the camera inspection condition will be described in detail later.
 生産最適化システム2は、生産計画システム3からの指図と、生産する基板に搭載する部品に関するBOM情報に基づき、生産管理システム1で効率良く基板を生産するための作業計画を作成して、生産管理システム1の制御部11に供給する。 The production optimization system 2 creates a work plan for efficiently producing boards by the production management system 1 based on the instructions from the production planning system 3 and the BOM information on the parts to be mounted on the board to be produced. This is supplied to the control unit 11 of the management system 1.
 図4は、一実施例における作業計画のデータフォーマットを示す。作業計画の情報は、生産する基板のロット番号、生産に使用する作業セルの番号、作業開始日時、作業者のID、工程の番号に係る情報を有し、例えば基板の生産のどの工程を、いつ、どこで、誰が作業するかを示す。 FIG. 4 shows the data format of the work plan in one embodiment. The information of the work plan includes information on the lot number of the board to be produced, the number of the work cell used for production, the work start date and time, the worker ID, and the process number. For example, which process of board production, Show when, where and who will work.
 なお、図1では、一つの生産計画システム3に一つの生産最適化システム2が従属し、一つの生産最適化システム2に一つの生産管理システム1が従属している。しかし、これは一例であって、上位のシステムに対して下位のシステムが複数従属しても良い。この場合、生産最適化システム2は、複数の生産管理システム1に作業計画を割り振ると良い。反対に、一つの生産計画システム3に一つの生産最適化システム2が従属する場合には、双方を一体化したシステムが構成されても良い。 In FIG. 1, one production optimization system 2 is subordinate to one production planning system 3, and one production management system 1 is subordinate to one production optimization system 2. However, this is only an example, and a plurality of lower systems may be subordinate to the upper system. In this case, the production optimization system 2 may allocate work plans to the plurality of production management systems 1. On the contrary, when one production optimization system 2 is subordinated to one production planning system 3, a system in which both are integrated may be configured.
 前記したように、生産最適化システム2が作成した作業計画が生産管理システム1に供給されると、制御部11は、作業計画に基づいて、生産管理システム1が有する自動配膳部13、指示表示部14、情報取得部15、トレーサビリティ情報データベース16、作業ツール17を始めとする構成要素を制御して、以下で述べるように動作させる。なお、自動配膳部13は、輸送機131、基板供給及び収納ユニット132と部品棚133を有している。その動作について図1を用いて説明する前に、基板の生産に従事する作業者の作業スペースである作業セルについて、概略図を用いて説明する。 As described above, when the work plan created by the production optimization system 2 is supplied to the production management system 1, the control unit 11 performs the automatic layout unit 13 included in the production management system 1 and the instruction display based on the work plan. The component 14, the information acquisition unit 15, the traceability information database 16, and the work tool 17 are controlled to operate as described below. The automatic layout unit 13 includes a transport machine 131, a board supply / storage unit 132, and a parts shelf 133. Before describing the operation with reference to FIG. 1, a work cell that is a work space for an operator engaged in the production of a substrate will be described with reference to a schematic diagram.
 図5は、一実施例における生産管理システム1の作業セルの上面図である。 FIG. 5 is a top view of the work cell of the production management system 1 in one embodiment.
 図6は、一実施例における生産管理システム1の作業セルの側面図である。 FIG. 6 is a side view of the work cell of the production management system 1 in one embodiment.
 図5の上面図において、紙面上での上側は作業セル4の奥側であり、作業者100は作業セル4の奥側に向いて作業をする。作業セル4の奥側に位置する作業準備棚40は、作業対象となる基板6を格納するためのマガジン41A、41B、基板6に取付ける回路部品を格納する部品箱51a乃至51dを置くための棚である。もちろん、図示したようにマガジンの数が2個、部品箱の数が4個と限定されるものではない。例えば部品箱が4個未満か5個以上あっても良い。なお、複数の部品箱に共通する事項を述べる場合には、単に部品箱51と記載することとする。同様にマガジン41と記載することもある。 In the top view of FIG. 5, the upper side on the paper is the back side of the work cell 4, and the worker 100 works toward the back side of the work cell 4. The work preparation shelf 40 located on the back side of the work cell 4 is a shelf for placing magazines 41A and 41B for storing the substrates 6 to be worked, and component boxes 51a to 51d for storing circuit components to be attached to the substrates 6. It is. Of course, as illustrated, the number of magazines is not limited to two and the number of parts boxes is not limited to four. For example, there may be less than 4 or 5 or more parts boxes. It should be noted that when a matter common to a plurality of component boxes is described, it is simply referred to as a component box 51. Similarly, the magazine 41 may be described.
 マガジン41Aには、前記した生産情報で指示された基板IDを有する基板6が格納されている。部品箱51には、前記したBOM情報に示された部品IDを有する部品が収納されている。一つの部品箱には、部品IDが共通する部品のみが格納されている。マガジン41と部品箱51が部品準備棚40に置かれる迄の前工程については、詳しい説明を省略する。 The magazine 41A stores a substrate 6 having a substrate ID specified by the production information described above. In the component box 51, a component having a component ID indicated in the BOM information is stored. Only one component with a common component ID is stored in one component box. Detailed description of the previous process until the magazine 41 and the parts box 51 are placed on the parts preparation shelf 40 will be omitted.
 制御部1が発生した動作指示により作業が開始されると、搬送機131はマガジン41Aを複数の基板が格納された状態で、マガジン置き場42Aまで搬送する。マガジン置き場42Aに搬送されたマガジン41Aから基板供給ユニット(ローダとも呼ぶ)132Aが、1個の基板6を取出して作業台43に置く。 When the operation is started by the operation instruction generated by the control unit 1, the transporter 131 transports the magazine 41A to the magazine storage place 42A in a state where a plurality of substrates are stored. A substrate supply unit (also referred to as a loader) 132A takes out one substrate 6 from the magazine 41A transferred to the magazine storage place 42A and places it on the work table 43.
 これと併行して、輸送機131が有するフォークリフト53a(図6を参照)は部品準備棚40から、基板6に搭載する部品が格納された部品箱51を、作業者100の近傍に設けられた部品棚133へ搬送して、定められた位置に収納する。この時、フォークリフト53aはフォークリフトドライバ53bにより平面方向と高さ方向に移動されながら、部品箱51を搬送する。部品棚133は、1個ごとの部品箱51の収納位置に応じて設けられたランプを始めとする点灯部501を有している。 At the same time, the forklift 53a (see FIG. 6) of the transport machine 131 is provided with a parts box 51 storing parts to be mounted on the board 6 in the vicinity of the worker 100 from the parts preparation shelf 40. It is conveyed to the parts shelf 133 and stored at a predetermined position. At this time, the forklift 53a conveys the component box 51 while being moved in the plane direction and the height direction by the forklift driver 53b. The component shelf 133 has a lighting unit 501 including a lamp provided in accordance with the storage position of each component box 51.
 点灯部501は、複数の部品箱の中から一つの部品箱を特定するための構成要素である。部品箱51を特定するために電光文字表示、或いは音声で知らせる方法も考えられるので、特定部と呼ぶことがある。以下では、特定部の代表例として点灯部をあげて説明する。 The lighting unit 501 is a component for specifying one component box from among a plurality of component boxes. In order to specify the component box 51, a method of notifying by electronic character display or voice is also conceivable, so it may be called a specifying unit. Hereinafter, a lighting unit will be described as a representative example of the specific unit.
 以上の動作につき図1を含めて説明すると、次のとおりである。制御部11は作業を開始させると、搬送機131に配膳指示をして、マガジン41Aをマガジン置き場42Aに搬送させる。さらに、基板6に搭載する部品が格納された部品箱51を部品棚133へ搬送して設置させる。 The above operation will be described with reference to FIG. 1 as follows. When the control unit 11 starts the work, it instructs the conveyor 131 to arrange the magazine 41A to the magazine storage 42A. Further, the parts box 51 storing the parts to be mounted on the board 6 is transported to the parts shelf 133 and installed.
 次いで制御部11は、マガジン41Aがマガジン置き場42Aへ搬送された後に、基板供給ユニット132A(図1では基板収納ユニット132Bと一体で示されている)に基板供給の指示をして、マガジン41Aから1個の基板6を取出させて作業台43に置かせる。この動作が作業台43に隣接して位置する作業者100に対する、作業開始の指示を兼ねることができる。勿論、文字表示、或いは音声での案内があっても良い。 Next, after the magazine 41A is transported to the magazine storage site 42A, the control unit 11 instructs the substrate supply unit 132A (shown integrally with the substrate storage unit 132B in FIG. 1) to supply the substrate from the magazine 41A. One substrate 6 is taken out and placed on the work table 43. This operation can also serve as an instruction to start work for the worker 100 located adjacent to the work table 43. Of course, there may be text display or voice guidance.
 次に、図5と図6を用いて、作業開始の指示に応じて作業者100が作業する際の課程について説明する。 Next, with reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a process when the worker 100 works in accordance with the work start instruction will be described.
 まず、作業者100は、マガジン41Aから取出され作業台43に置かれた基板6を図示しないバーコードリーダに近接させ、基板6の基板IDを含むバーコード情報を読取らせる。バーコードリーダは、例えば基板供給ユニット132Aと作業台43の間に設けられれば良く、一方、バーコードは基板6における所定の位置に印刷されていれば良い。 First, the worker 100 brings the substrate 6 taken out from the magazine 41 </ b> A and placed on the work table 43 close to a barcode reader (not shown), and reads the barcode information including the substrate ID of the substrate 6. For example, the barcode reader may be provided between the substrate supply unit 132A and the work table 43, while the barcode may be printed at a predetermined position on the substrate 6.
 これにより制御部11は、作業台43に供給された基板6が、生産情報が有する基板IDと一致するか否かを判定する。一致した場合には、基板IDに係るBOM情報をBOM情報データベース12から抽出する。一致しなければ制御部11は作業者100に指示して基板を除去させ、基板供給ユニット132Aに改めて基板供給の指示をして、マガジン41Aから1個の基板6を取出させて作業台43に置かせる。なお、制御部11は作業者100に判定結果を知らせるための文字表示、或いは音声による案内をすると良い。 Thereby, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the substrate 6 supplied to the work table 43 matches the substrate ID included in the production information. If they match, the BOM information related to the board ID is extracted from the BOM information database 12. If they do not match, the control unit 11 instructs the operator 100 to remove the substrate, instructs the substrate supply unit 132A to supply the substrate again, takes out one substrate 6 from the magazine 41A, and puts it on the work table 43. Let me put. In addition, the control part 11 is good to perform the character display for notifying the operator 100 of a determination result, or guidance by an audio | voice.
 図7は、一実施例における基板バーコード情報のデータフォーマットを示す。基板6は、例えば図7で示すようなバーコード情報を有している。バーコード情報は、例えば基板が製造された時のロット番号と、基板を識別するための基板IDを有する。従って、バーコード情報に記載された基板IDを読込むことにより、制御部11は、基板が生産情報で指示された基板であるか否かを確認することができる。これにより、前工程での作業誤りによる弊害を防止することができる。また、前記したように必要とするBOM情報を抽出することができる。 FIG. 7 shows a data format of substrate barcode information in one embodiment. The substrate 6 has bar code information as shown in FIG. The bar code information includes, for example, a lot number when a substrate is manufactured and a substrate ID for identifying the substrate. Therefore, by reading the substrate ID described in the barcode information, the control unit 11 can confirm whether or not the substrate is a substrate designated by the production information. As a result, it is possible to prevent adverse effects caused by work errors in the previous process. Further, as described above, necessary BOM information can be extracted.
 基板が生産情報で指示された基板であると判定された場合、作業者100は基板6を作業台6の上の作業し易い場所に位置させる。先の図5で示された基板6の位置は、この一例を示す。 When it is determined that the substrate is a substrate instructed by the production information, the worker 100 positions the substrate 6 on the work table 6 at a place where it is easy to work. The position of the substrate 6 shown in FIG. 5 shows an example of this.
 次いで制御部11は、作業ツール17を所定の設定状態とする。ここで作業ツール17は、制御部11との間で通信機能を有するものとする。制御部11は、図3で示したBOM情報が有する設備条件の情報に基づいて、作業ツール17と通信してこれを制御する。例えば作業ツール17がハンダ鏝であれば、BOM情報が有する作業条件の示す温度に設定される。これにより、指示書を見ながらハンダ鏝の温度を調整するという、作業者100の手間が不要となり、作業効率を向上することができる。なお、作業ツール17がネジを締めるためのトルクドライバであれば、同様な方法でトルク値を調整できる。 Next, the control unit 11 puts the work tool 17 in a predetermined setting state. Here, it is assumed that the work tool 17 has a communication function with the control unit 11. The control unit 11 communicates with and controls the work tool 17 based on the equipment condition information included in the BOM information shown in FIG. For example, if the work tool 17 is a solder dregs, it is set to a temperature indicated by the work condition included in the BOM information. This eliminates the need for the operator 100 to adjust the temperature of the soldering iron while viewing the instruction sheet, and can improve work efficiency. If the work tool 17 is a torque driver for tightening a screw, the torque value can be adjusted by a similar method.
 これと併行して制御部11は、情報取得部15からの情報に基づいて基板6が置かれた状態での基板6の位置情報を求める。以下では、情報取得部15は画像を撮像するためのカメラとする。制御部11は、情報取得部15が撮像した基板6の映像情報に基づき、作業台43に置かれた状態での基板6の位置情報を求める。勿論、この機能を情報取得部15が有し、得た位置情報が制御部11に供給されるようにしても良い。位置情報は、後記するように指示表示部14が部品の取付け位置を指示し、或いは作業者が部品を取り付けた後に検査する時に用いられる。 At the same time, the control unit 11 obtains the position information of the substrate 6 in a state where the substrate 6 is placed based on the information from the information acquisition unit 15. Hereinafter, the information acquisition unit 15 is a camera for capturing an image. The control unit 11 obtains position information of the substrate 6 in a state where it is placed on the work table 43 based on the video information of the substrate 6 imaged by the information acquisition unit 15. Of course, the information acquisition unit 15 may have this function, and the obtained position information may be supplied to the control unit 11. The position information is used when the instruction display unit 14 indicates the mounting position of the component as described later, or when the operator inspects the component after mounting the component.
 次いで制御部11は、図3で示したBOM情報のLP表示条件と基板の位置情報に基づいて指示表示部14を制御して、作業者100に対して次に行う作業の内容を表す表示を生成し、基板6の基板面、又はその周辺に表示させる。これについて、基板6の見取図の一例を示して説明する。 Next, the control unit 11 controls the instruction display unit 14 based on the LP display conditions of the BOM information and the substrate position information shown in FIG. It is generated and displayed on the substrate surface of the substrate 6 or its periphery. This will be described with reference to an example of a sketch of the substrate 6.
 図8Aは、一実施例におけるプリント基板6の概観図である。 FIG. 8A is an overview of the printed circuit board 6 in one embodiment.
 図8Bは、一実施例におけるプリント基板6の断面図である。 FIG. 8B is a cross-sectional view of the printed circuit board 6 in one embodiment.
 図8Aで示すように、プリント基板6に搭載される部品としては、その取付け部が基板6に設けられた孔を貫通して裏面のパターンにハンダ付けされる挿入実装部品61、基板6の表面のパターンにハンダ付けされる表面実装部品62がある。図8Bでは、挿入実装部品61と表面実装部品62が取付けられた時のハンダ層63を示す。なお、ハンダの拡がりを阻止するためのソルダレジスト64、プリントされた配線65も併せて示されている。 As shown in FIG. 8A, the components mounted on the printed circuit board 6 include an insertion mounting component 61 whose mounting portion penetrates a hole provided in the substrate 6 and is soldered to the back surface pattern, and the surface of the substrate 6 There is a surface mount component 62 that is soldered to this pattern. FIG. 8B shows the solder layer 63 when the insertion mounting component 61 and the surface mounting component 62 are attached. A solder resist 64 for preventing the solder from spreading and a printed wiring 65 are also shown.
 上記したように表面実装部品62に対しては、既に基板6にハンダ付けするための自動化システムが開発されている。本実施例において作業台43に供給される基板には、既に表面実装部品62が実装されていて良い。 As described above, an automated system for soldering the substrate 6 has already been developed for the surface mount component 62. In the present embodiment, the surface mount component 62 may already be mounted on the substrate supplied to the work table 43.
 しかし、挿入実装部品61は形状、サイズが多様であるなどの理由で、取付けの自動化が困難な場合がある。本実施例は、例えば挿入実装部品61に代表される部品を作業者100が基板6に取付ける工程に係る。例えば、図8Aで示すように、第1の挿入実装部品61Aを1個、或いは第2の挿入実装部品61Bを2個、基板6における図示した位置に取付ける場合を例に、指示表示部14の機能を説明する。 However, there are cases where it is difficult to automate the mounting of the insertion mounting component 61 because of various shapes and sizes. The present embodiment relates to a process in which the worker 100 attaches a component represented by, for example, the insertion mounting component 61 to the substrate 6. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the case where the first display mounting part 61A or the second insertion mounting part 61B is attached to the illustrated position on the board 6 is taken as an example. Explain the function.
 図8Cは、一実施例における指示表示部14による表示141、142の概観図である。 FIG. 8C is an overview of the displays 141 and 142 by the instruction display unit 14 in one embodiment.
 図8Dは、一実施例における指示表示部14による表示143、144の概観図である。 FIG. 8D is an overview of the displays 143 and 144 by the instruction display unit 14 in one embodiment.
 図8Cでは作業者100が、第1の挿入実装部品61Aを1個、基板6に取付ける場合を示す。LP、液晶プロジェクタ、ヘッドマウントディスプレイを始めとする指示表示部14は、レーザ光を発生して基板6における挿入実装部品61Aを取付ける位置に照射し、例えばピンポイント状の表示141を形成する。または、挿入実装部品61Aのサイズと形状に応じた表示142を形成する。制御部11が指示表示部14に搭載されたドライバを制御することで、表示が形成される。 FIG. 8C shows a case where the worker 100 attaches one first insertion mounting component 61A to the substrate 6. FIG. The instruction display unit 14 such as an LP, a liquid crystal projector, or a head mounted display generates a laser beam and irradiates the position where the insertion mounting component 61A is mounted on the substrate 6 to form a pinpoint display 141, for example. Alternatively, the display 142 corresponding to the size and shape of the insertion mounted component 61A is formed. A display is formed when the control unit 11 controls a driver mounted on the instruction display unit 14.
 図8Dでは作業者100が、部品IDが一致する第2の挿入実装部品61Bを2個、基板6に隣接して取付ける場合を示す。LPを始めとする指示表示部14は、レーザ光を発生して基板6における挿入実装部品61Aを取付ける位置に照射し、例えば2個の挿入実装部品61Bの取付け部分を囲んで示す表示143と、取付ける個数を示す表示144を形成する。 FIG. 8D shows a case where the worker 100 attaches two second insertion mounting components 61B having the same component ID adjacent to the board 6. The indication display unit 14 including the LP emits a laser beam to irradiate the position where the insertion mounting component 61A is mounted on the substrate 6, and displays, for example, a display 143 surrounding the mounting portion of the two insertion mounting components 61B. A display 144 indicating the number to be attached is formed.
 部品を取付ける基板内の位置は、BOM情報のLP表示条件が有する部品座標の情報が示す。作業台43における基板6の位置は、情報取得部15が取得した前記した位置情報が示す。従って、制御部11は双方の情報を用いて、指示表示部14に部品を取付ける位置を表示させることができる。 The position in the board to which the component is attached is indicated by the component coordinate information included in the LP display condition of the BOM information. The position of the substrate 6 on the work table 43 is indicated by the position information described above acquired by the information acquisition unit 15. Therefore, the control part 11 can display the position which attaches components on the instruction | indication display part 14 using both information.
 なお、図8Cと図8Dは一例を示しており、多くの変形した実施形態が考えられる。例えば図8Dにおいて、部品を取付ける場所が基板6の端部である場合には、表示144は基板6の外部、作業台43の上に表示されても良い。また表示143がピンポイント状の表示であっても良く、また円形、楕円形であっても良い。作業者100が部品の取付け位置を容易に認識できるものであれば良い。部品の個数、取付け位置のみならず、取付け方向を示す表示を行っても良い。 8C and 8D show an example, and many modified embodiments are conceivable. For example, in FIG. 8D, when the place where the component is attached is the end of the substrate 6, the display 144 may be displayed outside the substrate 6 and on the work table 43. Further, the display 143 may be a pinpoint display, or may be a circle or an ellipse. It is sufficient that the worker 100 can easily recognize the mounting position of the component. In addition to the number of parts and the mounting position, a display indicating the mounting direction may be performed.
 また、指示表示部14は、BOM情報が有する作業条件、注意事項の情報に関する表示を同様な方法で行っても良い。例えば、作業ツール17がハンダ鏝であって、その温度を作業者100が手動で設定する場合、BOM情報が有する作業条件に従って設定する温度を表示しても良い。また、破損し易い部品を取付ける場合は、作業者100に注意を促す表示をしても良い。このように、作業者100の作業を補佐する情報を表示すると良い。 In addition, the instruction display unit 14 may display information on the work conditions and precautions that the BOM information has in a similar manner. For example, when the work tool 17 is a solder iron and the temperature is manually set by the worker 100, the temperature set according to the work conditions included in the BOM information may be displayed. In addition, when a component that is easily damaged is attached, a display for urging the operator 100 may be displayed. In this way, information that assists the work of the worker 100 may be displayed.
 以上のようにすることで、作業者100は例えば作業手順書を確認する必要もなく、分かり易い表示により作業を進めることができるので、作業効率が向上されるという効果がある。 By doing as described above, the worker 100 does not need to confirm the work procedure manual, for example, and can perform the work with an easy-to-understand display, so that the work efficiency is improved.
 図1、図5、図6に戻って説明を続ける。制御部11は、指示表示部14に作業に係る指示表示を行わせるとともに、部品棚133に置かれた部品箱51の中から一つの部品箱51xを選択し、部品箱51xが置かれた位置に対応して設けられた点灯部501xを点灯する。部品箱51xは、作業者100が基板6に取付ける部品を格納している。 Returning to FIG. 1, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6, the description will be continued. The control unit 11 causes the instruction display unit 14 to display an instruction related to the work, selects one component box 51x from the component boxes 51 placed on the component shelf 133, and the position where the component box 51x is placed. The lighting part 501x provided corresponding to the is turned on. The component box 51x stores components to be attached to the substrate 6 by the worker 100.
 作業者100は、点灯部501が点灯する位置に対応して置かれた部品箱から部品を取得する。例えば点灯部501に近接して設けられたセンサ(図示せず)は、部品が取出されたことを検出し、制御部11に通知する。さらに、作業者100は指示表示部14による部品の取付け部を表す表示を参照しながら、部品を基板6に作業ツール17を用いて、例えばハンダ付けをして取付ける。 The worker 100 acquires a part from a parts box placed corresponding to the position where the lighting unit 501 lights. For example, a sensor (not shown) provided in the vicinity of the lighting unit 501 detects that a part has been taken out and notifies the control unit 11. Further, the worker 100 attaches the component to the board 6 by using, for example, soldering while referring to the display indicating the component attachment portion on the instruction display unit 14.
 以上のようにすることで、作業者100は例えば作業手順書を確認する必要もなく、分かり易い表示により次に取付ける部品を取得することができるので、作業効率が向上される効果がある。 By doing as described above, the worker 100 does not need to confirm the work procedure manual, for example, and can acquire the next component to be attached with an easy-to-understand display, which has an effect of improving work efficiency.
 制御部11が、指示表示部14に作業に係る指示表示を行わせ、点灯部501xを点灯し、点灯部501xに近接して設けられたセンサが作業者100による部品の取出しを検出した後、部品の取付け状態に係る検査を行う。 After the control unit 11 causes the instruction display unit 14 to display an instruction related to the work, the lighting unit 501x is turned on, and a sensor provided in the vicinity of the lighting unit 501x detects the removal of the part by the worker 100, Perform inspections related to the mounting condition of parts.
 制御部11は、情報取得部15(カメラ)に指示して部品が取付けられた基板6を撮像させる。作業者100が作業中に基板6を僅かながら動かすことが考えられる。そこで、基板6の作業前と作業後の位置情報を比較して先に求めた検査座標(図3のカメラ検査条件)の情報を補正する。なお、情報取得部15は、例えばレーザ変位センサのような非接触で形状を測定できるセンサであっても良く、カメラに限定されない。 The control unit 11 instructs the information acquisition unit 15 (camera) to image the board 6 on which the component is attached. It is conceivable that the worker 100 moves the substrate 6 slightly while working. Therefore, the information on the inspection coordinates (camera inspection conditions in FIG. 3) obtained earlier is corrected by comparing the positional information before and after the operation of the substrate 6. In addition, the information acquisition part 15 may be a sensor which can measure a shape non-contact like a laser displacement sensor, for example, and is not limited to a camera.
 次いで、制御部11は図3における検査方式の情報で指示された方式を用いて、図3における判定基準の情報を参照しながら、作業者100の取付け作業結果が合格であるか否かを判定する。この判定機能は、制御部11が有しても良く、BOM情報データベース12から制御部11を介して図3に示したカメラ検査条件を得ることで、情報取得部15が有していても良い。勿論、双方で機能を分割して有しても良い。 Next, the control unit 11 uses the method instructed in the inspection method information in FIG. 3 to determine whether or not the attachment work result of the worker 100 is acceptable while referring to the information on the determination criteria in FIG. To do. This determination function may be included in the control unit 11, or may be included in the information acquisition unit 15 by obtaining the camera inspection conditions illustrated in FIG. 3 from the BOM information database 12 via the control unit 11. . Of course, the functions may be divided and provided on both sides.
 検査方式が、例えば色を検出する方式である場合、情報取得部15が撮像した画像情報から、作業者100が取付けた部品とその周辺の色を検出する。検出された色が、判定基準が指定する色を満たしていれば、検査の結果は合格となる。この場合、判定基準における色とは、部品とハンダの色であり、制御部11が指示した部品が、適度なハンダ量で取付けられたか否かに基づいて、検査結果が決められる。勿論、色を検出するに限らず、形状、或いは取付けの方向を検出するなど他の検査方式を用いても良く、複数の検査方式を組合せて用いても良い。 When the inspection method is, for example, a method of detecting a color, the component attached by the worker 100 and the surrounding color are detected from the image information captured by the information acquisition unit 15. If the detected color satisfies the color specified by the determination criterion, the inspection result is passed. In this case, the color in the criterion is the color of the component and the solder, and the inspection result is determined based on whether or not the component instructed by the control unit 11 is attached with an appropriate amount of solder. Of course, not only the color is detected, but other inspection methods such as detecting the shape or the direction of attachment may be used, or a plurality of inspection methods may be used in combination.
 作業者100の取付け作業に関する検査が合格しない場合には、制御部11は文字表示、或いは音声での案内を生成して、作業者100に通知する。この場合、作業者100は例えば検査が合格するまで、取付け作業を繰返す。 When the inspection regarding the installation work of the worker 100 does not pass, the control unit 11 generates a character display or a voice guidance and notifies the worker 100. In this case, the worker 100 repeats the mounting work until the inspection passes, for example.
 作業者100の取付け作業に関する検査が合格である場合には、作業者100の作業は一旦完結するが、制御部11は、以下で述べるトレーサビリティ情報を、図1に示すトレーサビリティ情報データベース16に格納する。 When the inspection regarding the installation work of the worker 100 is passed, the work of the worker 100 is once completed, but the control unit 11 stores the traceability information described below in the traceability information database 16 shown in FIG. .
 図9は、一実施例におけるトレーサビリティ情報のデータフォーマットを示す。 FIG. 9 shows the data format of traceability information in one embodiment.
 トレーサビリティ情報とは、各工程(例えば図9の工程1)における作業者100の作業について、例えば作業時間(時刻でも良い)、情報取得部15が撮像した作業時の映像、取付けた部品ロット番号の情報を有する。使用部品ロット番号の情報は、前記した生産情報に由来しており、制御部11から供給される。これにより、制御部11がトレーサビリティ情報データベース16を参照すると、一つの工程において、基板6に各部品が取付けられた時間(時刻)を始めとする作業の履歴情報を得ることができる。 The traceability information refers to, for example, work time (or time) of the work of the worker 100 in each process (for example, process 1 in FIG. 9), a work image captured by the information acquisition unit 15, and an attached part lot number. Have information. The information on the used part lot number is derived from the above-described production information and is supplied from the control unit 11. As a result, when the control unit 11 refers to the traceability information database 16, it is possible to obtain work history information including the time (time) when each component is attached to the substrate 6 in one step.
 従来は、一種の作業ログであるトレーサビリティ情報は、作業中の作業者100により手作業で、例えば書類にチェックを入れることにより、記録されていた。しかし、本実施例によれば、作業者100の手を煩わせることなくトレーサビリティ情報が記録される。これにより、作業効率が向上される効果がある。 Conventionally, traceability information, which is a kind of work log, has been recorded manually by a worker 100 who is working, for example, by checking a document. However, according to this embodiment, traceability information is recorded without bothering the operator 100. Thereby, there is an effect that the working efficiency is improved.
 トレーサビリティ情報がトレーサビリティ情報データベース16に格納されたことで、第1の部品IDの部品の取付け作業が終了する。次いで、第2の部品IDの部品の取付け作業が開始され、これまで述べた課程が繰返されるが、同じ基板に対する作業となるため、基板が有するバーコード情報を読取ることは不要である。また、制御部11は、第1の部品IDの部品を格納した部品箱51xが置かれた位置に対応して設けられた点灯部501xを消灯する。代わりに、第2の部品IDの部品を格納した部品箱51yが置かれた位置に対応して設けられた点灯部501yを点灯する。 When the traceability information is stored in the traceability information database 16, the work for mounting the part having the first part ID is completed. Next, the mounting operation of the component of the second component ID is started and the process described so far is repeated. However, since the operation is performed on the same substrate, it is not necessary to read the barcode information of the substrate. In addition, the control unit 11 turns off the lighting unit 501x provided corresponding to the position where the component box 51x storing the component of the first component ID is placed. Instead, the lighting unit 501y provided corresponding to the position where the component box 51y storing the component of the second component ID is placed is lit.
 基板6に全ての部品が取付けられた場合には、部品の取付けを行う作業セルでの作業は終了する。 When all the parts are attached to the board 6, the work in the work cell for attaching the parts ends.
 作業セルでの作業が終了すると、作業者100は、図5で示した基板収納ユニット(アンローダ)132Bに基板6を移動する。制御部11は、基板収納ユニット132Bを用いて、基板6をマガジン置き場42Bに位置するマガジン41Bに移動する。さらに制御部11は、部品を取付けられた基板6が所定数だけマガジン41Bに蓄積されると、マガジン41Bを部品準備棚40に移動させる。これにより、部品を取付けられた基板6は再び部品準備棚40に格納される。引続き、全く別な工程で、例えば基板6の電気的な特性が検査される。 When the work in the work cell is completed, the worker 100 moves the substrate 6 to the substrate storage unit (unloader) 132B shown in FIG. The control unit 11 uses the substrate storage unit 132B to move the substrate 6 to the magazine 41B located in the magazine storage place 42B. Further, when a predetermined number of substrates 6 to which components are attached are accumulated in the magazine 41B, the control unit 11 moves the magazine 41B to the component preparation shelf 40. As a result, the substrate 6 to which the component is attached is stored in the component preparation shelf 40 again. Subsequently, in a completely different process, for example, the electrical characteristics of the substrate 6 are inspected.
 以上の工程作業の進捗状況に係る情報は、制御部11から生産最適化システム2を介して生産計画システム3に逐次報告される。 Information relating to the progress status of the above process work is sequentially reported from the control unit 11 to the production planning system 3 via the production optimization system 2.
 次に、以上で述べた生産管理システム1の課程をフローチャートに基づいて説明する。 Next, the process of the production management system 1 described above will be described based on the flowchart.
 図10は、一実施例における生産管理システム1のフローチャートである。 FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the production management system 1 in one embodiment.
 作業者100が、部品を搭載する基板6をバーコードリーダに近づけることで動作が開始される(ステップS901)。制御部11は、バーコードリーダから供給された基板IDに基づき、基板IDに係るBOM情報をBOM情報データベース12から抽出する(ステップS902)。さらに制御部11は、抽出したBOM情報に基づいて、情報取得部15、指示表示部14、作業セルの部品棚133、作業ツール17に動作指示を行う(ステップS903)。 The operation is started when the worker 100 brings the board 6 on which the component is mounted close to the barcode reader (step S901). Based on the board ID supplied from the barcode reader, the control unit 11 extracts BOM information related to the board ID from the BOM information database 12 (step S902). Further, based on the extracted BOM information, the control unit 11 issues an operation instruction to the information acquisition unit 15, the instruction display unit 14, the work cell parts shelf 133, and the work tool 17 (step S903).
 ステップS903の動作指示に応じて、制御部11は通信機能を有する作業ツール17を所定の設定状態とする。例えば作業ツール17がハンダ鏝であれば、BOM情報が有する作業条件に従った温度に設定される(ステップS912)。 In response to the operation instruction in step S903, the control unit 11 sets the work tool 17 having a communication function to a predetermined setting state. For example, if the work tool 17 is a solder iron, the temperature is set according to the work condition of the BOM information (step S912).
 また、ステップS903の動作指示に応じて、情報取得部(カメラ)15は、作業者100が置いた基板6の位置を認識し(ステップS904)、位置に係る情報を指示表示部14に供給する(ステップS905)。 Further, in response to the operation instruction in step S903, the information acquisition unit (camera) 15 recognizes the position of the substrate 6 placed by the worker 100 (step S904) and supplies information related to the position to the instruction display unit 14. (Step S905).
 指示表示部14は、基板6の位置に係る情報を参照しながら、BOM情報が示す基板6に搭載する部品の搭載位置、或いは個数に係る情報を作業者100に対して表示する。例えば指示表示部14は、レーザ光を照射して基板6の基板面、又はその周辺に前記した情報を表示する(ステップS906)。 The instruction display unit 14 displays information related to the mounting position or the number of parts to be mounted on the board 6 indicated by the BOM information to the worker 100 while referring to the information related to the position of the board 6. For example, the instruction display unit 14 displays the above-described information on the substrate surface of the substrate 6 or the periphery thereof by irradiating the laser beam (step S906).
 これと併行して、作業セルの部品棚133は、部品棚133に置かれた部品箱51の中から一つの部品箱51xを選択し、部品箱51xが置かれた位置に対応して設けられた点灯部501xを点灯する(ステップS907)。部品箱51xは、作業者100が基板6に取付ける部品を格納する部品箱である。 At the same time, the parts shelf 133 of the work cell is provided corresponding to the position where one part box 51x is selected from the parts boxes 51 placed on the parts shelf 133 and the parts box 51x is placed. The lighting unit 501x is turned on (step S907). The component box 51x is a component box that stores components to be attached to the substrate 6 by the worker 100.
 ステップS906で行われた表示、並びにS907で行われた点灯表示に基づき、作業者100は作業内容を把握する(ステップS908)。即ち、点灯部が点灯した位置に置かれた部品箱に収納された部品を次に取付ける部品と認識し、指示表示部14による表示に基づいて部品の取付け位置、或いは個数を把握する。次に、作業者100は、ステップS908で把握した作業内容に基づき、部品箱51xから部品を取得し(ステップS909)、基板6への取付け作業を行う(ステップS910)。 Based on the display performed in step S906 and the lighting display performed in S907, the worker 100 grasps the work content (step S908). That is, the component housed in the component box placed at the position where the lighting unit is lit is recognized as a component to be mounted next, and the mounting position or the number of components is grasped based on the display by the instruction display unit 14. Next, the worker 100 acquires a part from the parts box 51x based on the work content grasped in step S908 (step S909), and performs an attachment work to the board 6 (step S910).
 例えば点灯部501xに近接して設けられたセンサ(図示せず)が作業者100による部品の取出しを検出すると(ステップS911)、情報取得部15は、部品の取付け状態に係る検査を行う(S1001)。情報取得部15は基板を撮像して部品の取付け状態を表す情報を取得する。情報取得部15は、取得した情報に基づいて前記したように取付け状態を検査し、作業の合否判定を行う。なお、合否判定は制御部11が行っても良い(ステップS1002)。 For example, when a sensor (not shown) provided in the vicinity of the lighting unit 501x detects the removal of a component by the worker 100 (step S911), the information acquisition unit 15 performs an inspection related to the mounting state of the component (S1001). ). The information acquisition unit 15 captures information about the mounting state of the component by imaging the board. The information acquisition unit 15 checks the mounting state based on the acquired information as described above, and performs a pass / fail determination on the work. In addition, the pass / fail determination may be performed by the control unit 11 (step S1002).
 ステップS1002での合否判定の結果が不合格である場合には(図中のNG)、作業者100に文字表示、或いは音声を用いて不合格である旨を通知する。作業者100は、不合格の通知に応じて、ステップS910での取付け作業(例えばハンダ付け作業)を再度行い、ステップS1004で不合格である旨の通知を受けなくなるまで、取付け作業を繰返す。ステップS1004での判定は、所定の時間おきに繰返される。ステップS1004で不合格である旨の通知を受けなくなれば、合格したと判定されるので、取付け作業は完了する(ステップS1005)。 If the result of the pass / fail judgment in step S1002 is unsuccessful (NG in the figure), the operator 100 is notified of the failure using character display or voice. The worker 100 performs the mounting operation (for example, soldering operation) in step S910 again in response to the notification of failure, and repeats the mounting operation until no notification of failure is received in step S1004. The determination in step S1004 is repeated every predetermined time. If it is determined in step S1004 that the notification of failure is not received, it is determined that it has passed, and thus the mounting operation is completed (step S1005).
 一方、ステップS1002での合否判定も結果が合格となるまで、所定の時間おきに繰返される。ステップS1002での合否判定の結果が合格である場合には(図中のOK)、検査を完了する(ステップS1006)。 On the other hand, the pass / fail determination in step S1002 is repeated at predetermined intervals until the result is passed. If the result of the pass / fail determination in step S1002 is acceptable (OK in the figure), the inspection is completed (step S1006).
 検査が完了すると制御部11は、情報取得部15から取得した取付け作業のトレーサビリティ情報を、トレーサビリティ情報データベース16に格納する(ステップS1007)。 When the inspection is completed, the control unit 11 stores the traceability information of the installation work acquired from the information acquisition unit 15 in the traceability information database 16 (step S1007).
 以上で、第1の部品IDを有する部品の基板6への取付け作業が完了する。引続いて第2の部品IDを有する部品を同じ基板6に取付ける場合は、図10の下部に一部が示されているように、ステップS902以降のフローが繰返される。但し、基板6が変わらないため、ステップS901における基板のバーコードの読取りは不要である。ステップS902以降のフローが再度開始されると、ステップS907では、第2の部品IDを有する部品を格納した部品箱51yが置かれた位置に対応して設けられた点灯部501yが点灯される。 This completes the operation of attaching the component having the first component ID to the substrate 6. When a component having the second component ID is subsequently attached to the same substrate 6, the flow after step S902 is repeated as shown in part in the lower part of FIG. However, since the substrate 6 does not change, it is not necessary to read the barcode of the substrate in step S901. When the flow after step S902 is started again, in step S907, the lighting unit 501y provided corresponding to the position where the component box 51y storing the component having the second component ID is placed is lit.
 以上述べた実施例によれば、作業者100は例えば作業手順書を確認する必要もなく、分かり易い表示を見ながら直ちに次の作業に着手することができるので、作業効率を向上する効果がある。 According to the embodiment described above, the worker 100 does not need to confirm the work procedure manual, for example, and can immediately start the next work while looking at an easy-to-understand display, which is effective in improving work efficiency. .
