- the feeder 12a feeds the carrier tape by a pitch to supply the components 91 so that they can be picked up at a supply position located at the tip side of the feeder 12a.
- the component supply device 12 can also supply electronic components (e.g., lead components) that are relatively large compared to chip components and the like, while they are arranged on a tray.
- the component transfer device 13 is equipped with a head drive device 13a and a movable table 13b.
- the head drive device 13a is configured to be able to move the movable table 13b in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction (directions perpendicular to the X-axis direction in a horizontal plane) using a linear motion mechanism.
- a mounting head 20 is detachably (replaceably) attached to the movable table 13b using a clamp member.
- the mounting head 20 uses at least one holding member 30 to pick up and hold a component 91 supplied by the component supply device 12, and mounts the component 91 on a board 90 positioned by the board transport device 11.
- the holding member 30 can be, for example, a suction nozzle, a chuck, etc.
- the component camera 14 and the board camera 15 may be publicly known imaging devices.
- the component camera 14 is fixed to the base of the component mounting machine WM3 so that its optical axis faces upward in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis and Y-axis directions).
- the component camera 14 can image the component 91 held by the holding member 30 from below.
- the board camera 15 is mounted on the moving stage 13b of the component transfer device 13 so that its optical axis faces downward in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction).
- the board camera 15 can image the board 90 from above.

- the control device 16 is equipped with a known arithmetic device and storage device, and constitutes a control circuit. Information and image data output from various sensors provided in the component mounting machine WM3 are input to the control device 16. The control device 16 sends control signals to each device based on a control program and predetermined mounting conditions that have been set in advance.
- control device 16 causes the board camera 15 to capture an image of the board 90 positioned by the board transport device 11.
- the control device 16 processes the image captured by the board camera 15 to recognize the positioning state of the board 90.
- the control device 16 also causes the holding member 30 to pick up and hold the component 91 supplied by the component supply device 12, and causes the component camera 14 to capture an image of the component 91 held by the holding member 30.
- the control device 16 processes the image captured by the component camera 14 to recognize the holding posture of the component 91.
- the control device 16 moves the holding member 30 toward above the intended mounting position, which is set in advance by a control program or the like.
- the control device 16 also corrects the intended mounting position based on the positioning state of the board 90, the holding posture of the component 91, and the like, and sets the mounting position where the component 91 will actually be mounted.
- the intended mounting position and mounting position include a rotation angle in addition to the position (X-axis coordinate and Y-axis coordinate).
- the control device 16 corrects the target position (X-axis coordinates and Y-axis coordinates) and rotation angle of the holding member 30 to match the mounting position.

- the total time of the time required for a predetermined number of pick-and-place cycles and the time required to load and unload the board 90 corresponds to the cycle time for one board 90.
- Example configuration of production management device 50 For example, in component mounting machine WM3, when the type of product board 900 to be produced is changed, a changeover operation is performed. In addition, in component mounting machine WM3, when the components 91 that can be supplied from component supply device 12 are insufficient, a supply operation of components 91 is performed. The changeover operation and the supply operation are performed, for example, by worker U0, and feeder 12a and the like are replaced. What has been described above about component mounting machine WM3 can also be similarly applied to other substrate-related operation machine WM0. For example, in printing machine WM1, masks and the like are replaced by worker U0.
- the upper system when worker U0 is to perform a task, the upper system sends a task notification to worker U0.
- simply sending a task notification to worker U0 does not allow the upper system to grasp the status of worker U0.
- the upper system is unable to take action when it is necessary to address the task of worker U0, which may result in delays in the production of product boards 900 on production line WL0.
- the production equipment of the embodiment is provided with a production management device 50.
- the production management device 50 When considered as a control block, the production management device 50 is provided with a transmission unit 51 and a handling unit 52.
- the production management device 50 can also be provided with a guidance unit 53.
- the transmission unit 51, the handling unit 52, and the guidance unit 53 can be provided in various control devices.
- at least one of the transmission unit 51, the handling unit 52, and the guidance unit 53 can be provided in the line integrated management system 86.
- At least one of the transmission unit 51, the handling unit 52, and the guidance unit 53 can also be provided in the core system 82, etc. At least one of the transmission unit 51, the handling unit 52, and the guidance unit 53 can also be formed on the cloud. As shown in FIG. 3, in the production management device 50 of the embodiment, the transmission unit 51, the handling unit 52, and the guidance unit 53 are provided in the core system 82. Work notifications are sent from the core system 82 to the worker U0 via the line integrated management system 86 and the mobile terminal MD0.
- the mobile terminal MD0 is not limited as long as it is a communication device that can be carried by the worker U0.
- the production management device 50 of the embodiment executes control according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 4.
- the processes and decisions performed by the core system 82, the line integrated management system 86, the mobile terminal device MD0, and the worker U0 are divided by dashed straight lines.
- the transmission unit 51, the handling unit 52, and the guidance unit 53 are described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 4.
- the matters described in this specification can be selected and applied as appropriate.
- the matters described in this specification can be combined as appropriate.
- the transmitting unit 51 transmits a work notification to the worker U0, which requires a reply to the work instruction.
- the work notification may take various forms as long as it notifies the worker U0 of the work instruction and requests the worker U0 to reply to the work instruction.
- the transmitting unit 51 may transmit the work notification to the worker U0 via the network shown in FIG.
- the transmitting unit 51 creates a work notification and transmits it to the line integrated management system 86 (step S11).
- the work notification includes information about the production line WL0 on which the worker U0 will be working, the substrate-related work machine WM0 (if the production line WL0 is equipped with multiple substrate-related work machines WM0 of the same type, it also includes the module number capable of identifying the substrate-related work machine WM0), and the like.
- the work notification also includes information about the work completion time when the worker U0 should complete the work, the work content, and the like.
- the work notification can be transmitted before the work completion time by an amount of time equal to the time required for the worker U0 to perform the work plus a predetermined slack time.
- the work notification can also be transmitted at any timing.
- the line integrated management system 86 sends a work notification to the portable terminal MD0 of the worker U0 who will be performing the work (step S12).
- the portable terminal MD0 displays the work notification (step S13).
- the worker U0 checks the work notification (step S14) and replies to the work instruction.
- the form of the reply is not limited and can take various forms.
- the worker U0 can reply using the portable terminal MD0 by text input, handwritten input, voice input, etc.
- the reply work of the worker U0 may become cumbersome.
- the processing on the side receiving the reply may become complicated.
- the transmitting unit 51 may therefore transmit a work notification that allows the worker U0 to select from a number of options as a response that he or she can take in response to the work instruction.
- the types and number of the multiple options are not limited, and may include various responses that the worker U0 can take.
- the multiple options may be two or more of an understood response, an impossible response, a delayed response, an unnecessary response, a replacement response, and an unknown response.
- the understanding response is a response in which worker U0 performs the work.
- the impossible response is a response in which worker U0 does not perform the work.
- the delay response is a response in which it takes time for worker U0 to start the work.
- the unnecessary response is a response in which worker U0 determines that the work is unnecessary.
- the substitution response is a response in which the work is handed over to another worker U0.
- the unknown response is a response in which the content of the work instructions is expressed as being unknown.
- FIG. 5 is an example of a display screen of the mobile terminal device MD0, showing an example of the display of options for the response that the worker can take.
- the understood response corresponds to "1. I will work on it.”
- the impossible response corresponds to "2. I cannot work on it.”
- the delayed response corresponds to "3. I will work on it later.”
- the unnecessary response corresponds to "4. No work is required.”
- the replacement response corresponds to "5. I will hand it over to worker B.”
- the unknown response corresponds to "6. I do not understand the instructions.”
- the mobile terminal MD0 displays reply options (step S15). Then, the worker U0 selects one option from the multiple options (step S16). In the example shown in FIG. 5, the worker U0 selects (tap) one option from the six options 1 to 6, and presses (tap) the confirmation button. This results in a reply to the work notification.
- the reply information sent from the mobile terminal MD0 is sent to the line integrated management system 86.
- the reply information is then sent from the line integrated management system 86 to the core system 82 (step S17). Note that when the worker U0 presses (taps) the cancel button on the display screen shown in FIG. 5, the screen returns from the reply selection screen to the normal screen.
- the handling unit 52 handles the work of the worker U0 as necessary based on the contents of the reply received from the worker U0.
- the handling unit 52 may take various forms as long as it can handle the work of the worker U0 as necessary. For example, if the worker U0 replies by handwriting input using the mobile terminal MD0, the handling unit 52 can convert the reply data into text using, for example, an optical character recognition device.
- the handling unit 52 can also perform voice recognition and convert the reply data into text.
- the handling unit 52 can learn the reply data replied by text input and the above-mentioned reply data converted into text, for example, by machine learning, and recognize the reply content received from the worker U0.
- the transmission unit 51 of the embodiment transmits a work notification that allows the worker U0 to select from a number of options which response he or she can take in response to the work instruction.
- the handling unit 52 can handle the response selected by the worker U0 as necessary. Specifically, the handling unit 52 determines whether or not the response selected by the worker U0 requires response (step S18). If response is required (Yes in step S18), the handling unit 52 takes action according to the contents of the reply (step S19). Then, the control ends temporarily. If response is not required (No in step S18), the control ends temporarily without carrying out the processing shown in step S19.
- the handling unit 52 does not need to handle that response. In contrast, if worker U0 selects another response, the handling unit 52 needs to handle the response selected by worker U0. Specifically, if the reply received from worker U0 is a replacement response, the handling unit 52 causes the sending unit 51 to send a work notification to the other worker U0 who will take over the work.
- the transmission unit 51 in this embodiment is provided in the core system 82.
- the core system 82 performs integrated management of the production plan for the product board 900 using the substrate-related operation machine WM0, the progress of the production of the product board 900, and the items used in the production of the product board 900.
- the core system 82 can also manage the work of the worker U0.
- the transmission unit 51 can easily grasp the work status of the worker U0 and can select the worker U0 who will take over the work based on the work status of the worker U0.
- the worker U0 who will take over the work is specified by the transmission unit 51 in the options for the response that the worker U0 can take. In the example shown in FIG. 5, worker B is specified. However, the worker U0 who receives the work notification can also specify another worker U0 who will take over the work.
- the sending unit 51 can send a work notification that allows the worker U0 to select the worker U0 who will take over the work from among the replacement response options.
- the reply includes information about the worker U0 who will take over the work.
- the handling unit 52 can recognize the worker U0 who will take over the work. Note that if there is no problem with the worker U0 designated by the worker U0 performing the work, the handling unit 52 can also approve the handover of the work. If there is a problem with the worker U0 designated by the worker U0 performing the work, the handling unit 52 can also cancel the handover of the work.
- the sending unit 51 can also send a work notification to the appropriate worker U0 at an appropriate time based on the work status of the worker U0. Therefore, as responses that the worker U0 can take, an impossible response, a delayed response, an unnecessary response, or an unknown response are not preferable. Therefore, when the response received from the worker U0 is an impossible response, a delayed response, an unnecessary response, or an unknown response, the handling unit 52 can request the manager A0 to instruct the worker U0.
- manager A0 is not limited to any person who can provide guidance and management for worker U0. For example, engineers, team leaders, etc. are included in manager A0.
- a request for guidance from worker U0 can be made by various methods.
- the handling unit 52 can use a mobile terminal MD0 carried by manager A0 to request guidance for worker U0 from manager A0.
- the handling unit 52 can adjust the work plan of worker U0 when the reply received from worker U0 indicates that the response is not possible, that a delayed response is required, or that a replacement response is required.
- the handling unit 52 assigns the task of worker U0 to another worker U0. In this case, the handling unit 52 causes the transmission unit 51 to send a task notification to the other worker U0 to whom the task has been assigned. Furthermore, if the reply received from worker U0 indicates that the task will be completed due to a delay, the handling unit 52 adjusts the task plan of worker U0 depending on the degree of the delay. For example, if the time required for worker U0 to start the task is within an acceptable range, the handling unit 52 changes the task completion time at which the task should be completed to match the required time.
- the handling unit 52 can also assign the work of worker U0 to another worker U0. In this case, the handling unit 52 causes the transmission unit 51 to send a work notification to the other worker U0 to whom the work has been assigned. In this way, the handling unit 52 can adjust the work plan of worker U0. Furthermore, the handling unit 52 can also adjust the work plan of worker U0 if the reply received from worker U0 is an unnecessary response or an unknown response. Furthermore, the handling unit 52 can also adjust the production plan for the product boards 900.
- the handling unit 52 should alert worker U0. Specifically, if the reply received from worker U0 is a delayed response, the handling unit 52 causes the transmission unit 51 to resend the work notification when a predetermined time has elapsed since the receipt of the delayed response. This reduces the likelihood of worker U0 forgetting to perform the work.
- the above-mentioned predetermined time (the timing for resending the work notification) can be set arbitrarily.
- the handling unit 52 obtains the relationship between the time elapsed since receiving the delayed response and the frequency of work forgetting through verification by the worker U0.
- the handling unit 52 can then set the elapsed time at which the frequency of work forgetting exceeds an acceptable range as the predetermined time (the timing for resending the work notification).
- the transmission unit 51 can also transmit a work notification that allows the worker U0 to select the time until the worker U0 starts the work in the delayed response option.
- the reply includes information regarding the time until the worker U0 starts the work. This allows the handling unit 52 to recognize the time until the worker U0 starts the work. Therefore, when the reply received from the worker U0 is a delayed response, the handling unit 52 can cause the transmission unit 51 to resend the work notification when the time has elapsed from receiving the delayed response to starting the work selected by the worker U0.
- worker U0 can select "3A. Work in 5 minutes” or "3B. Work in 20 minutes” as the delay response. For example, if worker U0 selects the former, handling unit 52 causes transmission unit 51 to resend the work notification 5 minutes after the delay response is received. If worker U0 selects the latter, handling unit 52 causes transmission unit 51 to resend the work notification 20 minutes after the delay response is received. This allows worker U0 to recognize the work at the time it should be started, reducing the chance of worker U0 forgetting to do the work. Note that the resending of the work notification can be repeated until worker U0 replies with an understanding response.
- the handling unit 52 can request the worker U0 to reply again about the reply received from the worker U0. For example, if the reply received from the worker U0 is a response to an unknown, the handling unit 52 can ask the worker U0 whether the work method related to the work instruction is unknown, or whether the location of the parts necessary for the work is unknown. The handling unit 52 can also teach a solution to anticipated unknown points. This is expected to encourage the worker U0 to reply with an understanding response, reducing the burden on the manager A0, for example. The worker U0 can also ask the handling unit 52 about unknown points, regardless of whether a work notification has been received or not.
- the guidance unit 53 provides the worker U0 with work-related information.
- the guidance unit 53 may take various forms as long as it can provide work-related information.
- the notification unit 53 notifies the mobile terminal MD0 carried by the worker U0 of the work-related information.
- the notification unit 53 also notifies the mobile terminal MD0 carried by the worker U0 of the work-related information when the work is to be completed by the worker U0 with a high priority and when the remaining time until the work completion time is short.
- the task-related information is provided to the worker U0 in the order of the tasks. This allows the worker U0 to obtain the task-related information necessary for the order of the tasks to be performed.
- the reply described above can be made while referring to the work-related information in the order of work.
- FIG. 6 is a display screen different from that of FIG. 5, showing an example of guidance for work-related information.
- the work performed by worker U0 is categorized into three categories, abnormal, warning, and information, in descending order of priority.
