[0011] 1. Implementation Method 1-1. Example of the structure of the production line WL0 The work machine guiding device 50 can be applied to at least one production line WL0 having a substrate work machine WM0 that is remotely operated. Figure 1 As shown, the production facility of the embodiment includes two production lines WL0 , namely a first production line WL1 and a second production line WL2 .

[0012] In each of the two production lines WL0, the substrate work machine WM0 performs a predetermined substrate work on the substrate 90. The type and number of the substrate work machines WM0 constituting the production line WL0 are not limited. Figure 1 As shown, the production line WL0 of the embodiment includes a plurality of substrate working machines WM0 including a printer WM1, a print inspection machine WM2, a component mounting machine WM3, a reflow furnace WM4, and a visual inspection machine WM5, and the substrate 90 is transported by the substrate transport device in the above order.

[0013] The printer WM1 prints solder at the mounting positions of the plurality of components 91 of the substrate 90. The print inspection machine WM2 inspects the printing state of the solder printed by the printer WM1. Figure 2 As shown, the component mounting machine WM3 mounts a plurality of components 91 on a substrate 90 on which solder is printed by the printer WM1. The component mounting machine WM3 may be one or more. When a plurality of component mounting machines WM3 are provided, the plurality of component mounting machines WM3 can mount the plurality of components 91 in a shared manner.

[0014] The reflow furnace WM4 heats the substrate 90 on which the plurality of components 91 are mounted by the component mounting machine WM3, melts the solder, and performs soldering. The appearance inspection machine WM5 inspects the mounting state of the plurality of components 91 mounted by the component mounting machine WM3, etc. In this way, the production line WL0 can use a plurality of substrate operation machines WM0 to sequentially transport the substrate 90, perform production processing including inspection processing, and produce substrate products 900. In addition, the production line WL0 may also be equipped with substrate operation machines WM0 such as a function inspection machine, a buffer device, a substrate supply device, a substrate turning device, a shielding member mounting device, an adhesive coating device, and an ultraviolet irradiation device as needed.

[0015] The plurality of substrate handling machines WM0 and the line management device LC0 constituting the production line WL0 are connected in a communicative manner via a communication unit. In addition, the line management device LC0 and the management device HC0 are connected in a communicative manner via a communication unit. The communication unit can connect them in a communicative manner via wire or wireless, and various communication methods can be adopted.

[0016] In the embodiment, an internal information communication network (LAN: Local Area Network) is formed by a plurality of substrate work machines WM0, a line management device LC0, and a management device HC0. Therefore, the plurality of substrate work machines WM0 can communicate with each other via a communication unit. In addition, the plurality of substrate work machines WM0 can communicate with the line management device LC0 via a communication unit. Furthermore, the line management device LC0 and the management device HC0 can communicate with each other via a communication unit.

[0017] The line management device LC0 controls the plurality of substrate work machines WM0 constituting the production line WL0 and monitors the operation status of the production line WL0. Various control data for controlling the plurality of substrate work machines WM0 are stored in the line management device LC0. The line management device LC0 sends control data to each of the plurality of substrate work machines WM0. In addition, each of the plurality of substrate work machines WM0 sends the operation status and production status to the line management device LC0.

[0018] The management device HC0 manages at least one ( Figure 1There are two) line management devices LC0. For example, the operation status and production status of the substrate work machine WM0 obtained by the line management device LC0 are sent to the management device HC0 as needed. A storage device is provided in the management device HC0. The storage device can save various acquisition data obtained from the substrate work machine WM0. For example, various image data captured by the substrate work machine WM0 are included in the acquisition data. The records (log data) of the operating status obtained by the substrate work machine WM0 are included in the acquisition data. In addition, the storage device can save various production information related to the production of the substrate product 900.

[0019] 1-2. Configuration example of component mounting machine WM3 The component mounting machine WM3 mounts a plurality of components 91 on the substrate 90. Figure 2 As shown, the component mounting machine WM3 includes a board conveying device 11 , a component supplying device 12 , a component transfer device 13 , a component camera 14 , a board camera 15 , a control device 16 , and a display device 17 .

[0020] The substrate transport device 11 is composed of, for example, a belt conveyor, and transports the substrate 90 along the transport direction (X-axis direction). The substrate 90 is a circuit substrate, and an electronic circuit, an electric circuit, a magnetic circuit, etc. are formed thereon. The substrate transport device 11 carries the substrate 90 into the component mounting machine WM3 and positions the substrate 90 at a predetermined position in the machine. After the component mounting machine WM3 completes the mounting process of the plurality of components 91, the substrate transport device 11 carries the substrate 90 out of the component mounting machine WM3.

[0021] The component supply device 12 supplies a plurality of components 91 to be mounted on the substrate 90. The component supply device 12 has a plurality of feeders 12a arranged along the conveying direction (X-axis direction) of the substrate 90. A tape reel is provided on each of the plurality of feeders 12a. A carrier tape storing a plurality of components 91 is wound on the tape reel. The feeder 12a feeds the carrier tape in intervals and supplies the components 91 in a manner that allows them to be picked up at a supply position located on the front end side of the feeder 12a. In addition, the component supply device 12 can also supply relatively large electronic components (for example, lead components, etc.) compared to chip components, etc., in a state arranged on a tray.

[0022] The component transfer device 13 includes a head drive device 13a and a moving table 13b. The head drive device 13a is configured to move the moving table 13b in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction (a direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction in a horizontal plane) through a direct-acting mechanism. On the moving table 13b, a mounting head 20 is provided in a detachable (replaceable) manner through a clamping component. The mounting head 20 uses at least one holding component 30 to pick up and hold the component 91 supplied by the component supply device 12, and mounts the component 91 on the substrate 90 positioned by the substrate conveying device 11. The holding component 30 can use, for example, a suction nozzle, a chuck, etc.

[0023] The component camera 14 and the substrate camera 15 can use a known imaging device. The component camera 14 is fixed to the base of the component mounting machine WM3 in such a manner that the optical axis is oriented upward in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction). The component camera 14 can photograph the component 91 held by the holding member 30 from below. The substrate camera 15 is set on the movable table 13b of the component transfer device 13 in such a manner that the optical axis is oriented downward in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). The substrate camera 15 can photograph the substrate 90 from above. The component camera 14 and the substrate camera 15 perform imaging based on a control signal sent from the control device 16. The image data of the captured images captured by the component camera 14 and the substrate camera 15 are sent to the control device 16.

[0024] The control device 16 includes a known computing device and a storage device, and constitutes a control circuit. Information output from various sensors provided in the component mounting machine WM3, image data, etc. are input to the control device 16. The control device 16 sends a control signal to each device based on a control program and predetermined mounting conditions, etc.

[0025] For example, the control device 16 causes the substrate camera 15 to photograph the substrate 90 positioned by the substrate transport device 11. The control device 16 performs image processing on the image photographed by the substrate camera 15 to recognize the positioning state of the substrate 90. In addition, the control device 16 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 photograph the component 91 held by the holding member 30. The control device 16 performs image processing on the image photographed by the component camera 14 to recognize the holding posture of the component 91.

[0026] The control device 16 moves the holding member 30 toward the upper side of the predetermined mounting position preset by the control program, etc. In addition, the control device 16 corrects the predetermined mounting position based on the positioning state of the substrate 90, the holding posture of the component 91, etc., and sets the mounting position of the actual mounting component 91. The predetermined mounting position and the mounting position include the rotation angle in addition to the position (X-axis coordinate and Y-axis coordinate).

[0027] The control device 16 corrects the target position (X-axis coordinate and Y-axis coordinate) and the rotation angle of the holding member 30 according to the mounting position. The control device 16 lowers the holding member 30 at the corrected rotation angle at the corrected target position and mounts the component 91 on the substrate 90. The control device 16 performs the mounting process of mounting a plurality of components 91 on the substrate 90 by repeatedly performing the above-mentioned pick-and-place cycle.

[0028] The display device 17 can use a known display device such as a liquid crystal display, and can display various information to the operator U0. In addition, the display device 17 of the embodiment is composed of a touch panel and also functions as an input device for accepting various operations of the operator U0.

[0029] 1-3. Configuration Example of Working Machine Guide Device 50 like Figure 1 As shown, the production equipment of the embodiment includes a remote room 41 and a production room 42. The remote room 41 is separated from the production room 42 including at least one (two in this figure) production line WL0, and the operator U0 can remotely operate the substrate operation machine WM0 of the production line WL0 from the remote room 41.

[0030] When the operator U0 uses the substrate work machine WM0 to work, it is sometimes unclear whether the substrate work machine WM0 can be remotely operated. Therefore, the operator U0 needs to confirm the settings of the substrate work machine WM0, and the work efficiency may be reduced. Therefore, the production equipment of the embodiment is provided with a work machine guide device 50. The work machine guide device 50 guides the substrate work machine WM0 that can be remotely operated by the operator U0, that is, the corresponding work machine WT0.

[0031] If the work machine guidance device 50 is understood as a control block, it has a judgment unit 51 and a guidance unit 52. The work machine guidance device 50 can be set in various control devices. For example, the work machine guidance device 50 can be set in the line management device LC0, the management device HC0, etc. The work machine guidance device 50 can also be formed on the cloud. Figure 3 As shown, in the working machine guidance device 50 of the embodiment, the determination unit 51 and the guidance unit 52 are provided in the management device HC0.

[0032] In addition, the working machine guide device 50 of the embodiment is Figure 4 The control is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 1 . The determination unit 51 performs the determination and processing shown in steps S11 to S13. The guidance unit 52 performs the determination and processing shown in steps S14 and S15. In addition, the matters described in this specification can be appropriately combined and can be selected.

[0033] 1-3-1. Determination Unit 51 The determination unit 51 determines whether the substrate work machine WM0 that performs a predetermined substrate work on the substrate 90 is a corresponding work machine WT0 that can be remotely operated by the operator U0. The determination unit 51 may adopt various modes as long as it can determine whether the substrate work machine WM0 is a corresponding work machine WT0.

[0034] For example, a substrate work machine WM0 whose manufacturing year and month is earlier than the specified year and month may not be remotely operated by the operator U0. In addition, even if the substrate work machine WM0 can be remotely operated by the operator U0, there is a case where the remote operation function is invalid. The substrate work machine WM0 identifies its own functions and whether it can be remotely operated by the operator U0 (including whether the remote operation function is valid). Therefore, the judgment unit 51 can communicate with the substrate work machine WM0 to obtain the work machine information indicating whether it is the corresponding work machine WT0, and based on the obtained work machine information, judge whether the substrate work machine WM0 is the corresponding work machine WT0 ( Figure 4 Steps S12 and S13 shown).

[0035] In addition, the judgment unit 51 can obtain the work machine information at any time. However, for example, when an abnormality occurs in the substrate work machine WM0 and the operator U0 performs the treatment operation through remote operation, it is sometimes difficult to obtain the work machine information. In addition, even if the work machine information can be obtained, it takes a certain amount of time to obtain the work machine information, and there is a possibility of delay in the treatment operation. Therefore, the judgment unit 51 can obtain the work machine information at at least one of the timing of starting the work machine guidance device 50 and the timing of starting the substrate work machine WM0 (step S11 and step S12). The activation of the work machine guidance device 50 and the substrate work machine WM0 includes restarting.

[0036] Thus, the judgment unit 51 can judge whether the substrate work machine WM0 is the corresponding work machine WT0 before the remote operation of the substrate work machine WM0 is required. In addition, the judgment unit 51 can respond to the setting change of the remote operation (change of the validity or invalidity of the remote operation) generated after the work machine guidance device 50 is started by obtaining the work machine information at the timing of starting the substrate work machine WM0 including restarting.

[0037] In addition, the operator U0 can perform various remote operations on the substrate work machine WM0. For example, the remote operation of the substrate work machine WM0 includes at least one of the following operations: handling an abnormality generated in the substrate work machine WM0, maintenance of the substrate work machine WM0, and preparation of the substrate work machine WM0.

[0038] For example, when a temporary abnormality occurs in the substrate operation machine WM0, the operator U0 may resolve the abnormality and restart production. In addition, when the image obtained by the component camera 14 taking the component 91 held by the holding member 30 is abnormal, the operator U0 may edit the shape data of the component 91. In addition, when the printing inspection machine WM2 determines that the printing is defective, the operator U0 may adjust the control parameters of the printer WM1 such as the printing pressure and printing speed of the solder. These operations are included in the handling operation of handling the abnormality generated in the substrate operation machine WM0.

[0039] In addition, for example, in order to maintain the holding member 30, the operator U0 sometimes instructs the replacement of the holding member 30 using the mounting head 20. Moreover, in order to maintain the mask of the printing machine WM1, the operator U0 sometimes instructs the printing machine WM1 to automatically clean the mask. These operations are included in the maintenance operations on the substrate operation machine WM0. In addition, in order to change the production of the substrate operation machine WM0, the operator U0 sometimes instructs the unmanned guided vehicle to transport components such as the component 91 and solder. These operations are included in the preparation operations for the substrate operation machine WM0.

[0040] The handling work, maintenance work and preparation work can include various works and are not limited to the works described above. In addition, the corresponding work machine WT0 does not change according to the type of work described above, as long as it is a substrate work machine WM0 that can be remotely operated by the operator U0.

[0041] 1-3-2. Guide section 52 When the determination unit 51 determines that the substrate working machine WM0 is the corresponding working machine WT0, the guide unit 52 guides the corresponding working machine WT0 to the operator U0 ( Figure 4 The guide unit 52 may be configured in various ways as long as it can guide the corresponding work machine WT0 to the operator U0. The guide unit 52 can always guide the corresponding work machine WT0. In addition, the guide unit 52 can also guide the corresponding work machine WT0 when there is a request such as a display request.

[0042] For example, the guide unit 52 can guide the corresponding work machine WT0 to at least one of the portable terminal MD0 held by the operator U0 and the corresponding work machine WT0. Figure 1 As shown, the operator U0 of the embodiment holds a portable terminal MD0 that can wirelessly communicate with the machine of the production equipment. For example, a tablet terminal, a watch terminal, etc. are included in the portable terminal MD0. In this case, the guide unit 52 can at least guide the corresponding work machine WT0 in the portable terminal MD0. Thus, the guide unit 52 can directly guide the corresponding work machine WT0 to the operator U0.

[0043] In addition, the remote operation of the substrate work machine WM0 may sometimes be performed by a specific operator U0, namely, a specific operator U1. For example, an operator U0 with a predetermined technical level, an operator U0 who has received a predetermined work training, etc. are included in the specific operator U1. In this way, when the remote operation of the substrate work machine WM0 may be performed by the specific operator U1, it is not necessary to guide the operator U0 other than the specific operator U1, namely, the general operator U2, to the corresponding work machine WT0.

[0044] Therefore, in the case where the specific operator U1 may remotely operate the substrate work machine WM0, the guide unit 52 can guide the corresponding work machine WT0 in the portable terminal MD0 held by the specific operator U1. Thus, the guide unit 52 can directly guide the corresponding work machine WT0 to the specific operator U1 who needs to be guided. Figure 1 In the figure, for convenience of illustration, the portable terminal MD0 held by the specific operator U1 is represented by the specific portable terminal MD1, and the portable terminal MD0 held by the general operator U2 is represented by the general portable terminal MD2.

[0045] In addition, the remote operation of the substrate work machine WM0 may sometimes be performed in at least one specific production line WS0 among the plurality of production lines WL0 in which the substrate work machine WM0 is installed. Figure 1 The production equipment shown has two production lines WL0, namely, the first production line WL1 and the second production line WL2. For example, it is assumed that the component mounting machine WM3 of the first production line WL1 is the corresponding work machine WT0, and the first production line WL1 is the specific production line WS0. In this case, it is not necessary to guide the operator U0 in charge of the second production line WL2 to the corresponding work machine WT0.

[0046] Therefore, when the remote operation of the substrate work machine WM0 may be performed in the specific production line WS0, the guide unit 52 can guide the corresponding work machine WT0 in the portable terminal MD0 held by the operator U0 in charge of the specific production line WS0. Thus, the guide unit 52 can directly guide the corresponding work machine WT0 to the operator U0 in charge of the specific production line WS0 that needs to be guided.

[0047] The guide unit 52 can guide the corresponding work machine WT0 in a manner that can be known by at least one of the visual sense, auditory sense, and tactile sense of the operator U0. For example, the guide unit 52 can guide the corresponding work machine WT0 in the display screen DP0 of at least one of the portable terminal MD0 held by the operator U0 and the display device of the substrate work machine WM0 (for example, the display device 17 of the component mounting machine WM3). In addition, the guide unit 52 can also provide voice guidance to the corresponding work machine WT0. Moreover, the guide unit 52 can also vibrate the portable terminal MD0 held by the operator U0 to guide the change of the corresponding work machine WT0 accompanied by the setting change of the remote operation (the change of the validity or invalidity of the remote operation).

[0048] For example, the guide unit 52 can guide the corresponding work machine WT0 through text information (for example, identification information (module number) that can identify the corresponding work machine WT0, identification information (line number) that can identify the production line WL0, etc.) on the display screen DP0. In addition, the guide unit 52 can also display the corresponding work machine WT0 through a predetermined icon IN1 on the display screen DP0 that simulates the production line WL0 in which the substrate work machine WM0 is installed. For example, Figure 5 As shown, a portion (for example, the lower portion) of the display screen DP0 of the portable terminal MD0 held by the operator U0 displays a simulated Figure 1 The image of the production line WL0 (for example, the first production line WL1) is shown. At least one substrate processing machine WM0 is arranged on the production line WL0 (in the figure, four substrate processing machines WM0, namely, the printing inspection machine WM2, the component mounting machine WM3, the reflow oven WM4, and the appearance inspection machine WM5).

[0049] An icon IN1 simulating a cone-shaped ornament with a red main body and white lines applied to it, for example, is attached to the upper part of at least one of the four substrate work machines WM0 (in the figure, a component mounting machine WM3 as a corresponding work machine WT0). Thus, the operator U0 can easily identify the corresponding work machine WT0 from the plurality of (4) substrate work machines WM0. It should be noted that an icon IN2 with a white X mark applied to a red circular plate is attached to at least one of the other four substrate work machines WM0 (in the figure, a printing inspection machine WM2).

[0050] In addition, at least one of the other four substrate work machines WM0 (in this figure, a reflow furnace WM4) has an icon IN3 with a yellow triangle and a black exclamation mark. In addition, at least one of the other four substrate work machines WM0 (in this figure, a visual inspection machine WM5) has an icon IN4 with a black circular plate and a white exclamation mark. Icons IN2 to IN4 indicate the production status of the substrate product 900 in the substrate work machine WM0 (for example, the substrate work machine WM0 that becomes a bottleneck that reduces the productivity of the production line WL0).

[0051] The guide unit 52 can also display task information indicating the work that the operator U0 should perform on the display screen DP0 that simulates the production line WL0 in which the substrate work machine WM0 is installed. In addition, the guide unit 52 can also display the specific work TK1 that the operator U0 performs by remotely operating the corresponding work machine WT0 in the task information in a manner that can be identified relative to other works. For example, Figure 5 As shown, task information is displayed on a part (for example, the upper part) of the display screen DP0 of the portable terminal MD0 held by the worker U0.

[0052] For example, the task information includes information related to the production line WL0 (identification information (line number) that can identify the production line WL0, etc.). In this figure, for the convenience of illustration, the first production line WL1 or the second production line WL2 is shown. In addition, the task information includes information related to the substrate work machine WM0 (identification information (module number) that can identify the corresponding work machine WT0, etc.). In this figure, for the convenience of illustration, the printing machine WM1, the printing inspection machine WM2, the component mounting machine WM3, the reflow furnace WM4, and the appearance inspection machine WM5 are shown.

[0053] Furthermore, the task information includes information related to the execution period of the task (the start time, completion time, etc. of the task). In this figure, for the convenience of illustration, the start time T1 to the start time T7 are shown. For example, for a task that exceeds the start time, the start time is highlighted to alert the operator U0. In addition, the task information includes information related to the work content (the abnormal content (error code, error message, etc.) generated in the substrate work machine WM0). In this figure, for the convenience of illustration, the abnormal content E1 to the abnormal content E7 are shown. Furthermore, the task information is attached with the icons IN1 to the icons IN4 mentioned above.

[0054] The guide unit 52 may adopt various forms as long as it can display the specific task TK1 in a manner that can be identified from other tasks. Figure 5In the task information shown, the specific task TK1 is displayed larger than other tasks. Thus, the operator U0 can easily identify the specific task TK1 from a plurality of tasks. In addition, the guide unit 52 can also make the display color (at least one of the text color and the background color) of the specific task TK1 different from that of other tasks. Moreover, the guide unit 52 can also make the specific task TK1 flash.

[0055] In addition, the specific operation TK1 includes various operations that can be remotely operated by the operator U0, without limitation. For example, the specific operation TK1 includes at least one of an operation for handling an abnormality generated in the substrate operation machine WM0, a maintenance operation for the substrate operation machine WM0, and a preparation operation for the substrate operation machine WM0. The specific operation TK1 of the embodiment is at least one of an operation for handling an abnormality generated in the substrate operation machine WM0, a maintenance operation for the substrate operation machine WM0, and a preparation operation for the substrate operation machine WM0.

[0056] Furthermore, when the number of tasks in the task information exceeds a predetermined number, the guide unit 52 can also make the area where the image simulating the production line WL0 is displayed smaller than the area where the image simulating the production line WL0 is displayed. Figure 5 (The number of tasks is within the specified number) small, so that the area displaying task information is smaller than Figure 5 In addition, the guide unit 52 can also display the same information as the display device 17 of the substrate operation machine WM0 (for example, the display device 17 of the component mounting machine WM3). Figure 5 The display screen DP0 shown is the same display screen.

[0057] 2. Working machine guidance method The contents described above for the working machine guiding device 50 are also the same for the working machine guiding method. Specifically, the working machine guiding method includes a determination step and a guidance step. The determination step corresponds to the control performed by the determination unit 51. The guidance step corresponds to the control performed by the guidance unit 52.

[0058] 3. An example of the effect of the embodiment According to the work machine guiding device 50, it is possible to guide the substrate work machine WM0 that can be remotely operated by the operator U0.
