Information processing device

Abstract

An information processing device includes: for each of a plurality of machine tools, a machine information database configured to store machine configuration information and tool information of each of the plurality of machine tools, in association with each of the plurality of machine tools; an information collection unit configured to collect and store the machine configuration information and the tool information into the machine information database; a manufacturing planning work information input unit configured to receive manufacturing planning work information; a machine information collation unit configured to collate the manufacturing planning work information with the machine configuration information and the tool information to give a score to each of the plurality of machine tools, based on a result of the collation; and an optimum machine selection unit configured to select an optimum machine tool for machining, based on the score given to each of the plurality of machinetools.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device, and more particularly to an information processing device for selecting the most suitable machine tool for processing. Background technique [0002] In a factory equipped with a plurality of machine tools, when a new workpiece is processed to produce a product, it is necessary to select a machine tool suitable for the process of producing the product. In this case, the operator selects the machine tool suitable for the processing of the product by comparing the information related to the processing such as the processed shape, material, size, and quality of the workpiece, and the machine structure, performance, and usable tools of each machine tool. , but sometimes the best machine tool cannot be selected due to the proficiency of the operator. [0003] As a prior art for selecting a machine tool suitable for product processing, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-039049, since it is necessary to pre-register the information required for processing in the database, there is a problem that the registration operation is labor-intensive.

In addition, it is necessary to update the database according to the manufacturing equipment actually installed, and thus the update takes time and effort.

Moreover, it is difficult for ordinary operators to deal with the tasks and contents registered in the database by a skilled person.

[0005] In International Publication No. 02 / 003156, there is a technique of obtaining the actual machining results from a machine tool connected to the network and creating a database, but there is no mention of a method of making full use of the information on the actual machining results obtained.

[0006] In addition, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-143231, it is characterized in that the machining registered in the machining information computer is performed by each machine tool, but the machining information of the machining result is not actually reflected in the machining information possessed by the machining information computer. Cannot be fully utilized for the next processing
