Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a manufacturing plant for mobile bodies, safety management systems, substrate processing devices, safety management methods, and safety management procedures. Background Technology

[0002] To reduce the risk of workplace injuries, efforts have been made to strengthen safety management for workers. As an example, systems have been proposed to monitor whether workers are correctly wearing the prescribed protective equipment on the manufacturing floor.

[0003] While this system can monitor workers located in the work area, it cannot monitor workers in motion. Therefore, for example, when workers remove their protective gear and move around the factory, the risk of workplace injury increases.

[0077] Hereinafter, various embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, in this specification and the accompanying drawings, structural elements that substantially include the same functional structure are omitted from repeated descriptions by using the same reference numerals.

[0078] [First Implementation Method]

[0079] <System Structure of the Security Management System>

[0080] First, the system structure of the security management system in the first embodiment will be described. Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating an example of the system structure of a safety management system.

[0081] like Figure 1As shown, the safety management system 100 includes a management device 110, a patrol robot 120, a manager terminal 130, a particle management device 140, and particle sensors 150_1 to 150_4. In the safety management system 100, the management device 110, the manager terminal 130, and the particle management device 140 are, for example, located in a management room within a substrate processing equipment manufacturing plant. In the safety management system 100, the management device 110 is communicatively connected to the patrol robot 120, the manager terminal 130, and the particle management device 140 via a network 160. Furthermore, in the safety management system 100, the particle management device 140 is communicatively connected to the particle sensors 150_1 to 150_4 via the network 160.

[0082] The inspection robot 120 is an example of a mobile device. The inspection robot 120 inspects the manufacturing site within the substrate processing unit manufacturing plant according to a prescribed inspection schedule and a prescribed inspection route (or, if updated information is sent from the management device 110, according to the updated inspection schedule and route).

[0083] The inspection robot 120 is equipped with a camera and Patlite (registered trademark), and uses dynamic image data (video data) captured after the inspection begins to detect situations where the risk of workplace injury for each worker (e.g., worker 121) has increased. Details regarding situations where the risk of workplace injury for workers has increased will be explained later; for example, inadequate wearing of protective equipment by workers can be cited. When the inspection robot 120 detects a situation where the risk of workplace injury for workers has increased, for example…

[0084] • Light up Patler (registered trademark) to encourage workers to reduce the risk of workplace injuries (e.g., to encourage the wearing of protective equipment).

[0085] • Send the dynamic image data (dynamic image data including frames that detect an increased risk of workplace injury to workers and frames before and after them) and the detection results to the management device 110.

[0086] In addition, the inspection robot 120 is equipped with a cleaning device that cleans the floor after the inspection begins. As a result, the floor is cleaned during the inspection, which can reduce particles in the manufacturing area of ​​the substrate processing device manufacturing plant.

[0087] When the inspection robot 120 sends dynamic image data and detection results, the management device 110 saves the dynamic image data and detection results and displays them to the safety manager 111. Additionally, the management device 110 identifies the manager 131 from the dynamic image data as the worker whose workplace injury risk has been detected as increased, and generates email data targeting the manager 131's management terminal 130. The management device 110 notifies the manager 131 of the detection by sending the generated email data to the management terminal 130.

[0088] When a request to display a summary of detection history is received from the administrator terminal 130, the management device 110 provides the summary of detection history to the administrator terminal 130.

[0089] The management device 110 also receives particle information from the particle management device 140. The particle information includes sensor data measured by particle sensors 150_1 to 150_4 installed at the manufacturing site within the substrate processing unit's manufacturing facility, and baseline values ​​for the cleanliness of each area of ​​the manufacturing site. Based on the received particle information, the management device 110 generates update information and sends it to the inspection robot 120.

[0090] The update information refers to the patrol information referenced by the patrol robot 120 during its patrols on the manufacturing site. The patrol information includes the patrol route, patrol schedule, and cleaning intensity. By using the update information to update any or all of the patrol route, patrol schedule, and cleaning intensity, the cleanliness of various areas on the manufacturing site can be improved to below the baseline value.

[0091] In addition, the inspection information contains data derived from the layout of the manufacturing site.

[0092] • The area where each worker is located (work area)

[0093] • Areas where unsafe conditions may arise

[0094] • No Entry Area

[0095] The patrol routes (patrol routes used for patrolling these areas), patrol schedules, and cleaning intensities are determined by these parameters and set as default information. Whenever update information is generated based on particle information, the default patrol routes, patrol schedules, and cleaning intensities can be updated using the generated update information. Alternatively, whenever update information is generated based on particle information, the default patrol routes, patrol schedules, and cleaning intensities can also be temporarily updated using the generated update information, and then revert to their default settings after a certain period.

[0096] The administrator terminal 130 is the terminal operated by the administrator 131. As described above, the administrator 131 receives detection notifications via the administrator terminal 130. In addition, the administrator 131 inputs a display request for the detection history list to the management device 110 via the administrator terminal 130, and views the detection history list provided by the management device 110 via the administrator terminal 130.

[0097] The particle management device 140 receives sensor data from particle sensors 150_1 to 150_4 installed in various areas of the manufacturing site within the substrate processing plant. The particle management device 140 transmits particle information, including the received sensor data and reference values ​​for the cleanliness of each area of ​​the manufacturing site, to the management device 110.

[0098] <Exterior Structure of the Patrol Robot>

[0099] Next, the appearance and structure of the patrol robot 120 will be described. Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating an example of the external structure of a patrol robot. In Figure 2 In the figure, reference numeral 210 indicates the shooting device, reference numeral 220 indicates the battery device, reference numeral 230 indicates the housing of the drive mechanism, reference numeral 240 indicates the housing of the cleaning mechanism, and reference numeral 250 indicates the control device.

[0104] As color, dynamic image data. The cleaning mechanism is configured to attract particles from the ground. The cleaning mechanism may also include a floor-wiping function (wiping function).

[0105] <System Structure of the Patrol Robot>

[0106] Next, the system structure of the patrol robot 120 will be explained. Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating an example of the system structure of a patrol robot. (For example...) Figure 3As shown, the patrol robot 120 is equipped with a control device 310, a camera device 320, a notification device 330, a sensor device 340, a battery device 350, a drive control device 360, a drive mechanism 361, a cleaning control device 370, a cleaning mechanism 371, and a communication device 380. In the patrol robot 120, the control device 310, camera device 320, notification device 330, sensor device 340, battery device 350, drive control device 360, cleaning control device 370, and communication device 380 are communicatively connected via a PoE switch 390. Furthermore, the PoE switch refers to a switching hub capable of supplying power via an Ethernet cable.

[0107] The control device 310 controls the entire patrol robot 120. The camera device 320 includes... Figure 2 The appearance is shown by reference numeral 210 in the attached diagram. The capturing device 320 generates color dynamic image data by capturing images and notifies the control device 310. The notification device 330 includes the aforementioned Paitelai (registered trademark), which illuminates when an increased risk of workplace injury to workers is detected. Furthermore, in addition to the aforementioned Paitelai (registered trademark), the notification device 330 may also include a sound output device. The sensor device 340 includes sensors necessary for the patrol robot 120 to perform patrols and cleaning (however, excluding the capturing device 320 used to detect an increased risk of workplace injury to workers).

[0108] The battery unit 350 supplies power to the various devices of the patrol robot 120. The battery unit 350 has the capability to... Figure 2 The appearance is shown by reference numeral 220 in the attached diagram. The drive control unit 360 controls the drive mechanism 361 to move the inspection robot 120 according to movement information output from the control unit 310. The drive mechanism 361 operates based on control signals from the drive control unit 360. The cleaning control unit 370 controls the cleaning mechanism 371 based on instructions (start, end, cleaning intensity) from the control unit 310. The cleaning mechanism 371 operates based on control signals from the cleaning control unit 370. The communication unit 380 communicates with the management unit 110 via the network 160.

[0109] <Hardware Structure of the Control Device>

[0110] Next, the hardware structure of the control device 310 mounted on the patrol robot 120 will be described. Figure 4 This diagram illustrates an example of the hardware structure of a control device mounted on a patrol robot. (See diagram for example.) Figure 4 As shown, the control device 310 includes a processor 401, a memory 402, an auxiliary storage device 403, and a connection device 404. Furthermore, the hardware components of the control device 310 are interconnected via a bus 405.

[0111] Processor 401 includes various computing devices such as CPU (Central Processing Unit) and GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). Processor 401 reads various programs (such as security management programs) into memory 402 and executes them.

[0112] The memory 402 includes main storage devices such as ROM (Read Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory). The processor 401 and the memory 402 form a so-called computer. The processor 401 executes various programs read from the memory 402, and the computer performs various functions.

[0113] Auxiliary storage device 403 stores various programs and information used by processor 401 when executing various programs.

[0114] The connection device 404 is connected to the PoE switch 390. Thus, the control device 310 communicates with the camera device 320, notification device 330, sensor device 340, drive control device 360, cleaning control device 370, and communication device 380 within the inspection robot 120, and receives power from the battery device 350.

[0115] <Functional Structure of Control Device>

[0116] Next, the functional structure of the control device 310 mounted on the patrol robot 120 will be explained. Figure 5 This diagram illustrates an example of the functional structure of a control device mounted on a patrol robot. As described above, a safety management program is installed in the control device 310 mounted on the patrol robot 120. The control device 310 functions as a general control unit 500, a movement control unit 501, a location information calculation unit 502, a cleaning instruction unit 503, a detection unit 504, a notification instruction unit 505, a sending unit 506, and a receiving unit 507 by executing the safety management program.

[0117] The overall control unit 500 controls the movement control units 501 to the receiving unit 507 to ensure that the patrol robot 120 operates according to the patrol schedule included in the patrol information. For example, the overall control unit 500 issues notifications such as patrol start, patrol completion, cleaning start, and cleaning stop.

[0118] When the overall control unit 500 receives a notification to begin patrol, the movement control unit 501 reads the patrol route from the patrol information storage unit 510 and generates movement information based on the current position information of the patrol robot 120 notified by the position information calculation unit 502. The movement information includes the content of the patrol robot 120's movement actions (forward, backward, rotation, stop), the magnitude of the movement actions, and the speed of the movement actions. The movement control unit 501 generates movement information until it determines that the patrol robot 120 has completed its patrol based on the patrol route, and then outputs the movement information to the drive control device 360. Thus, the movement control unit 501 controls the movement of the patrol robot 120 along the manufacturing site until the patrol is deemed complete. Upon determining that the patrol is complete, the movement control unit 501 notifies the overall control unit 500 that the patrol is complete.

[0119] Furthermore, the "forward movement" included in the movement information can refer to either the patrol robot 120 moving in a straight line or moving while bending forward. When moving while bending forward, the camera device 320 mounted on the patrol robot 120 can capture images while scanning the right and left sides of the direction of movement. Additionally, the wiping function of the cleaning mechanism 371 mounted on the patrol robot 120 can wipe a large area of ​​the ground on the right and left sides of the direction of movement while moving.

[0120] When the overall control unit 500 receives a notification to begin patrolling, the location information calculation unit 502 begins acquiring patrol-use sensor data from the sensor data measured in the sensor device 340. Based on the acquired patrol-use sensor data, the location information calculation unit 502 calculates the current location information of the patrol robot 120 and notifies the motion control unit 501. The location information calculation unit 502 continues to calculate the location information until it receives a notification to complete the patrolling from the overall control unit 500.

[0121] When the cleaning start notification is received from the overall control unit 500, the cleaning instruction unit 503 reads the cleaning intensity from the inspection information storage unit 510 and sends the cleaning start instruction along with the cleaning intensity to the cleaning control device 370. When the cleaning stop notification is received from the overall control unit 500, the cleaning instruction unit 503 sends a cleaning stop instruction to the cleaning control device 370.

[0122] When the control unit 500 receives a notification to begin inspection, the detection unit 504 begins acquiring motion image data captured by the imaging device 320. The detection unit 504 processes the acquired motion image data frame by frame, detecting situations where the risk of workplace injury to workers has increased in the frames being processed. If the detection unit 504 detects an increased risk of workplace injury to workers in a frame being processed, it notifies the sending unit 506 of the detection result, along with motion image data including the corresponding frame and the frames before and after it. Additionally, if the detection unit 504 detects an increased risk of workplace injury to workers in a frame being processed, it notifies the notification instruction unit 505 of the detection result. When the control unit 500 receives a notification that the inspection is complete, the detection unit 504 stops acquiring motion image data and ends the inspection.

[0123] Whenever the test results are notified from the testing unit 504, the notification instruction unit 505 sends a notification message to the notification device 330. If the notification device 330 is a Paitelai (registered trademark), the notification message may be, for example, a lighting instruction to make Paitelai (registered trademark) light up for a specified time; if the notification device 330 is a sound output device, the notification message may be, for example, a message urging workers to reduce the risk of workplace injury.

[0124] Whenever the detection unit 504 notifies the dynamic image data and detection results, the sending unit 506 notifies the communication device 380 of the dynamic image data and detection results, and instructs the communication device 380 to send information (dynamic image data and detection results) to the management device 110.

[0125] When receiving update information from management device 110 via communication device 380, receiving unit 507 updates the patrol information stored in patrol information storage unit 510.

[0126] <Specific examples of manufacturing site layout>

[0127] Next, a specific example of the layout of the manufacturing site within the substrate processing device manufacturing plant will be explained. Figure 6 This is a diagram illustrating an example of the layout of a manufacturing site. Figure 6 The specific example of the manufacturing site shown is a specific example of the layout of a manufacturing site 600 in a manufacturing plant for substrate processing devices equipped with various substrate processing devices.

[0128] exist Figure 6 In the accompanying drawings, reference numerals 610, 620, 630, and 640 represent different types of substrate processing devices, which are arranged in the shaded area.

[0129] exist Figure 6In the accompanying drawings, reference numerals 611, 621, 631, 632, and 641 indicate the area (work area) where the operator is located when operating the corresponding substrate processing device.

[0130] exist Figure 6 In the attached drawing, reference numeral 650 indicates the area (the area where workers are located, or the work area) where temporary high-altitude operations are performed in the manufacturing site 600 within the substrate processing apparatus manufacturing plant. Additionally, in... Figure 6 In the figure, reference numeral 660 indicates a manufacturing site 600 within the manufacturing plant of the substrate processing apparatus, with an opening in the ground and a grid installed (an area where an unsafe condition may occur).

[0131] In addition, although Figure 6 Although not shown in the diagram, the manufacturing site 600 within the substrate processing apparatus manufacturing plant may also include restricted areas where personnel are prohibited from entering. Restricted areas for personnel may include, for example, areas where hazardous materials are stored.

[0132] <Specific examples of the processing of each part of the control device>

[0133] Next, specific examples of the processing performed by the various units included in the control device 310 (here, the motion control unit 501, the position information calculation unit 502, the detection unit 504, and the notification and instruction unit 505) will be described.

[0134] (1) Specific example of the processing performed by the motion control unit 501 and the location information calculation unit 502

[0135] First, a specific example of the processing performed by the motion control unit 501 and the location information calculation unit 502 will be explained. Figure 7 This diagram illustrates a specific example of the processing performed by the motion control unit and the location information calculation unit.

[0136] As described above, the location information calculation unit 502 calculates the current location information of the patrol robot 120 based on the patrol sensor data. Figure 7 In the figure, reference numeral 710 indicates the layout of the manufacturing site 600 within the substrate processing device manufacturing plant, where the current position information of the inspection robot 120 calculated by the position information calculation unit 502 is plotted.

[0137] As described above, the movement control unit 501 reads the patrol route from the patrol information storage unit 510. Figure 7 In the accompanying drawing, reference numeral 720 indicates an example of a patrol route read by the motion control unit 501 from the patrol information storage unit 510. As shown by reference numeral 720, the patrol route is derived from the layout of the manufacturing site 600 within the substrate processing device manufacturing plant.

[0138] • The work area where each worker is located ( Figure 6 (The attached figures are 611, 621, 631, 632, 641, 650).

[0139] • Areas where unsafe conditions may arise ( Figure 6 (see attached figure 650)

[0140] • Restricted areas (in) Figure 6 (As shown in the diagram) and other factors are used to determine this.

[0141] As described above, the motion control unit 501 generates motion information based on the patrol route and the current position information of the patrol robot 120. Figure 7 In the attached figure, reference numeral 730 indicates the movement information that instructs the patrol robot 120 to move from its current position in the direction of the arrow at a speed of ** km / h, a distance equivalent to the length of the arrow.

[0142] (2) Specific examples of processing during the training phase of the detection unit 504

[0143] Next, a specific example of the processing in the training phase of the detection unit 504 will be explained. Figure 8 This is a diagram illustrating a specific example of the processing during the training phase of the detection unit. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the detection unit 504 functions as the training data generation unit 810 and the training unit 820 during the training phase.

[0144] After the training phase inspection begins, the training data generation unit 810 reads the motion image data captured by the imaging device 320 and sequentially stored in the motion image data storage unit 840 until the inspection is completed. For frames (image data) extracted by the interpreter from each frame contained in the read motion image data that indicate an increased risk of workplace injury to workers, the training data generation unit 810 adds annotation data input by the interpreter. Thus, the training data generation unit 810 generates training data 851 and stores it in the training data storage unit 850.

[0145] As shown in training data 851, the situation that increases the risk of workplace injury for workers can be classified into four situations ("safety inspection", "unsafe behavior", "unsafe condition" and "other").

[0146] Situations categorized as "safety inspections" include situations such as workers not wearing appropriate protective equipment (such as safety glasses) or workers not wearing clothing correctly.

[0147] Situations classified as "unsafe behavior" include, for example:

[0148] • The worker is in an abnormal condition (e.g., the worker has collapsed).

[0149] • Workers were not wearing protective gear for working at heights (e.g., a hard helmet for heights above 1.5m, and a full-body safety harness for heights above 2.0m).

[0150] • Workers entering prohibited areas, etc.

[0151] Situations classified as "unsafe" include, for example:

[0152] There is a possibility that workers may accidentally fall due to ladders or tools rolling in the passageway.

[0153] • There is a possibility that workers may accidentally fall through openings in the grid.

[0154] Situations classified as "other" include, for example, the intrusion of a suspicious person into the manufacturing site 600 within the substrate processing plant.

[0155] The training unit 820 includes a training model 830. The training unit 820 reads the training data 851 stored in the training data storage unit 850 and inputs the image data contained in the training data 851 into the training model 830. In addition, the training unit 820 updates the model parameters of the training model 830 so that the output from the training model 830 is close to the annotation data contained in the training data 851.

[0156] The training unit 820 stores the trained model generated by training the training model 830 using the training data 851 in the trained model storage unit 860.

[0157] (3) Specific examples of processing in the detection stage of the detection unit 504

[0158] Next, a specific example of the processing in the testing phase of the testing department 504 will be explained. Figure 9 This diagram illustrates a specific example of the processing steps during the testing phase of the testing department. For example... Figure 9 As shown, the detection unit 504 functions as the execution unit 910 during the detection phase.

[0159] The execution unit 910 has a trained model 920 read from the trained model storage unit 860. After the inspection begins during the detection phase, the execution unit 910 inputs dynamic image data captured by the acquisition and imaging device 320 into the trained model 920. The trained model 920 detects an increased risk of workplace injury for workers by processing the input dynamic image data frame by frame (image data unit) during the inspection. If an increased risk of workplace injury for workers is detected, the execution unit 910 notifies the transmission unit 506 of the detection result and the dynamic image data including the corresponding frame and the frames before and after it. Additionally, if an increased risk of workplace injury for workers is detected, the execution unit 910 notifies the notification instruction unit 505 of the detection result.

[0160] (4) Specific examples of processing performed by the notification and instruction unit 505

[0161] Next, a specific example of the processing performed by the notification instruction unit 505 will be described. Figure 10 This is a diagram illustrating a specific example of the processing performed by the notification and instruction department. For example... Figure 10 As shown, the notification instruction unit 505 functions as the notification information acquisition unit 1010.

[0162] The notification instruction unit 505 includes a notification information storage unit 1020 that pre-stores corresponding table 1030. For example... Figure 10 As shown, in Table 1030, the detection results and notification information are stored in association. Additionally, in Table 1030, if the notification device 330 is a sound output device, the message sent to that sound output device is stored in the "Messages" field. Furthermore, in Table 1030, if the notification device 330 is a Paitelai (registered trademark), the lighting color and lighting method of Paitelai (registered trademark) are stored in the "Paitelai (registered trademark)" field.

[0163] When the test result is notified from the test unit 504, the notification information acquisition unit 1010 refers to the correspondence table 1030, acquires the notification information corresponding to the test result, and sends it to the notification device 330.

[0164] <Inspection and Cleaning Process>

[0165] Next, the process of inspection and cleaning performed by the inspection robot 120 will be explained. Figure 11 This is an example of a flowchart illustrating the process of inspection and cleaning performed by an inspection robot.

[0166] In step 1101, the inspection robot 120 determines whether update information has been sent from the management device 110. If it is determined in step S1101 that update information has been sent (if it is "yes" in step S1101), proceed to step S1102.

[0167] In step S1102, the patrol robot 120 updates the patrol information using the sent update information, and proceeds to step S1103.

[0168] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1102 that no update information has been sent (if it is "no" in step S1101), proceed directly to step S1103.

[0169] In step S1103, the inspection robot 120 determines whether it is the right time for inspection and cleaning. If it is determined in step S1103 that it is not the right time for inspection and cleaning (if it is "no" in step S1103), the process proceeds to step S1107.

[0170] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1103 that it is the right time for inspection and cleaning (if it is "yes" in step S1103), proceed to step S1104.

[0171] In step S1104, the patrol robot 120 begins patrolling and cleaning.

[0172] In step S1105, the inspection robot 120 determines whether it has detected an increased risk of workplace injury for the workers. If an increased risk of workplace injury for the workers is detected in step S1105 (if "yes" is detected in step S1105), the process proceeds to step S1106.

[0173] In step S1106, after the patrol robot 120 sends the dynamic image data and detection results to the management device 110, it proceeds to step S1107.

[0174] On the other hand, in step S1105, if it is determined that no increase in the risk of workplace injury to workers has been detected (if "no" is detected in step S1105), the process proceeds directly to step S1107.

[0175] In step S1107, the inspection robot 120 determines whether the inspection and cleaning are complete. If, in step S1107, the inspection and cleaning are not complete (if "No" is found in step S1107), the process returns to step S1105. Conversely, if, in step S1107, the inspection and cleaning are complete (if "Yes" is found in step S1107), the inspection and cleaning process ends.

[0176] <Hardware Structure of the Management Device>

[0177] Next, the hardware structure of the management device 110 will be described. Figure 12 This is a diagram illustrating an example of the hardware structure of a management device. For example... Figure 12 As shown, the management device 110 includes a processor 1201, a memory 1202, an auxiliary storage device 1203, a connection device 1204, a communication device 1205, and a drive device 1206. Furthermore, the hardware components of the management device 110 are interconnected via a bus 1207.

[0178] The processor 1201 includes various computing devices such as CPU and GPU. The processor 1201 reads various programs (such as robot management programs) into the memory 1202 and executes them.

[0179] The memory 1202 includes main storage devices such as ROM and RAM. The processor 1201 and the memory 1202 form a so-called computer. The processor 1201 executes various programs read from the memory 1202, and the computer performs various functions.

[0180] Auxiliary storage device 1203 stores various programs and information used by processor 1201 when executing various programs.

[0181] The connection device 1204 connects the operating device 1211 and the display device 1212 to the management device 110. The operating device 1211 is the device for the safety manager 111 to input various instructions, and the display device 1212 is the device for displaying various screens generated in the management device 110 to the safety manager 111.

[0182] The communication device 1205 communicates with the patrol robot 120, the manager terminal 130, and the particle management device 140 via the network 160.

[0183] The drive device 1206 is a device for setting the storage medium 1213. The storage medium 1213 mentioned here includes media that store information optically, electrically, or magnetically, such as CD-ROMs, floppy disks, and optical disks. In addition, the storage medium 1213 may also include semiconductor memories that electrically store information, such as ROMs and flash memory.

[0184] Furthermore, various programs installed on the auxiliary storage device 1203 can be installed, for example, by placing the distributed storage medium 1213 on the drive device 1206 and having the drive device 1206 read the various programs. Alternatively, various programs installed on the auxiliary storage device 1203 can also be installed by downloading them from the network 160 via the communication device 1205.

[0185] <Functional Structure of Management Device>

[0186] Next, the functional structure of the management device 110 will be explained. Figure 13 This diagram illustrates an example of the functional structure of the management device. As described above, a robot management program is installed in the management device 110. By executing the robot management program, the management device 110 functions as a display control unit 1301, a notification information generation unit 1302, a notification control unit 1303, an information provision unit 1304, and a patrol information update unit 1305.

[0187] The display control unit 1301 displays various screens to the safety manager 111 via the display device 1212. For example, the display control unit 1301 generates and displays a "safety management screen" sent from the patrol robot 120 and stored in the historical information storage unit 1310. This "safety management screen" is used to display dynamic image data and detection results.

[0188] The display control unit 1301 generates, for example, an "email screen" for the management device 110 to send an email to the management terminal 130, indicating that the inspection robot 120 has detected an increased risk of workplace injury to the workers. Upon receiving an email sending instruction from the safety manager 111 based on the "email screen" display, the display control unit 1301 notifies the notification information generation unit 1302 of the sending instruction.

[0189] The display control unit 1301 generates and displays, for example, a "detection history overview screen". This "detection history overview screen" is used to display a summary of the history of situations in which the inspection robot 120 detected an increase in the risk of workplace injury to workers.

[0190] The display control unit 1301 generates and displays, for example, a "particle information screen" which displays particle information sent from the particle management device 140 and stored in the particle information storage unit 1320.

[0191] When storing dynamic image data and detection results in the historical information storage unit 1310, the notification information generation unit 1302 identifies the manager 131 of the worker whose workplace injury risk has been increased, and generates email data destined for the manager's terminal 130. The notification information generation unit 1302 then notifies the display control unit 1301 of the generated email data. As described above, an "email screen" is displayed in the display control unit 1301. Furthermore, when the safety manager 111 inputs a sending instruction based on the display of the "email screen," the display control unit 1301 notifies the display control unit of that sending instruction.

[0192] When the notification is sent from the display control unit 1301, the notification information generation unit 1302 sends the email data to the notification control unit 1303.

[0193] When notification information generation unit 1302 sends email data, notification control unit 1303 detects the notification by sending an email to administrator terminal 130.

[0194] Upon receiving a request from the administrator terminal 130 to display a test history overview, the information providing unit 1304 reads the test history overview from the historical information storage unit 1310. The information providing unit 1304 generates a "test history overview screen" for displaying the read test history overview and provides it to the administrator terminal 130.

[0195] In addition, although Figure 13 Not shown in the diagram, but when the administrator 131 selects a certain detection history based on the provided detection history list, the information providing unit 1304 provides the dynamic image data and detection results corresponding to the selected detection history to the administrator terminal 130.

[0196] When particle information sent from particle management device 140 is stored in particle information storage unit 1320, inspection information update unit 1305 determines whether the current inspection information needs to be updated based on the stored particle information. For example, if the cleanliness of a specific area in the stored particle information deteriorates, inspection information update unit 1305 determines that the current inspection information needs to be temporarily or partially updated. Furthermore, if, for example, the cleanliness of more than a specified number of areas in the stored particle information deteriorates, inspection information update unit 1305 determines that the current inspection information needs to be fully updated. In addition, inspection information update unit 1305 appropriately determines, based on the degree of cleanliness deterioration, which aspects of the inspection information, such as the inspection route, inspection schedule, and cleaning intensity, should be updated, and how they should be updated.

[0197] <Specific examples of processing performed by various parts of the management unit>

[0198] Next, specific examples of the processing performed by each part of the management device 110 (here, the display control unit 1301, the notification information generation unit 1302, and the information providing unit 1304) will be described.

[0199] (1) Specific example of processing performed by display control unit 1301

[0200] First, as a specific example of the processing performed by the display control unit 1301, a specific example of the processing of the display security management screen will be explained. Figure 14 The first figure shows a specific example of the processing of the display control unit.

[0201] As described above, the display control unit 1301 generates and displays a security management screen 1400 sent from the patrol robot 120 and stored in the historical information storage unit 1310. The security management screen 1400 is used to display dynamic image data and detection results.

[0202] like Figure 14 As shown, the security management screen 1400 includes an attribute area 1410 for displaying attribute information, a video area 1420 for displaying dynamic image data and detection results, and an operation area 1430 for displaying dynamic image data input.

[0203] The attribute area 1410 includes a column 1411 displaying the detection date and time, a column 1412 displaying the detection area, and a column 1413 displaying the detected patrol robot. The column 1411 displays the date and time when the patrol robot 120 detected an increased risk of workplace injury to workers. The column 1412 displays the area of ​​the manufacturing site 600 within the substrate processing unit manufacturing plant where the increased risk of workplace injury to workers was detected by the patrol robot 120. The column 1413 displays the identification information of the patrol robot 120 that detected the increased risk of workplace injury to workers.

[0204] The video area 1420 displays dynamic image data and detection results. The operation area 1430 includes a progress bar, a play / pause button, a rewind button, and a fast forward button related to the currently displayed dynamic image data.

[0205] In addition, although Figure 14 Although not explicitly stated, when displaying dynamic image data in video area 1420, frames that detect an increased risk of workplace injury to workers may also be displayed in a different way than other frames (e.g., with an additional red box).

[0206] (2) Specific examples of the processing performed by the notification information generation unit 1302 and the information provision unit 1304

[0207] Next, a specific example of the processing performed by the notification information generation unit 1302 and the information provision unit 1304 will be described. Figure 15 This diagram illustrates a specific example of the processing performed by the notification information generation department and the information provision department.

[0208] As described above, while storing the dynamic image data and detection results in the historical information storage unit 1310, the notification information generation unit 1302 identifies the manager 131 of the worker whose workplace injury risk has been detected as increased. Additionally, the notification information generation unit 1302 generates email data that is sent to the manager terminal 130 of the identified manager 131.

[0209] Figure 15 The email screen 1500 in (a) shows the generated email data displayed on the display control unit 1301. For example... Figure 15 As shown in (a), in the "Security Management" folder of the sending tray of the email screen 1500, an overview of the emails sent by the management device 110 as detection notifications is displayed (refer to reference numeral 1501).

[0210] in addition, Figure 15 Examples (a) all indicate cases where the notification information generation unit 1302 generates email data destined for the administrator terminal 130 of the administrator 131. Additionally, Figure 15 Example (a) shows that the notification information generation unit 1302 generates email data as email data in the email body (reference numeral 1502).

[0211] • An email message as shown in the attached figure 1502_1 was inserted, and,

[0212] • Image data of frames captured from the various frames contained in the dynamic image data that indicate an increased risk of workplace injury to workers has been detected (see attached figure 1502_2).

[0213] The situation regarding the obtained email data.

[0214] In addition, as described above, when the information providing unit 1304 receives a display request for the detection history list from the administrator terminal 130, it reads the detection history list from the historical information storage unit 1310, generates the detection history list screen, and thereby provides the detection history list to the administrator terminal 130.

[0215] Figure 15 (b) The detection history overview screen 1510 displays the detection history overview screen provided by the information providing unit 1304. For example... Figure 15 As shown in (b), in the inspection history overview screen 1510, the information items include "inspection date and time", "inspection area", "inspection content", "personnel affiliation", etc.

[0216] As described above, when a specific detection history is selected in the detection history overview screen 1510, the detection history overview screen 1510 will display, for example, information related to... Figure 14 The same screen as the security management screen 1400 shows dynamic image data and detection results to the administrator 131.

[0217] Additionally, it was explained that when the management device 110 receives a request to display a summary of detection history from the administrator terminal 130, it will... Figure 15(b) The detection history overview screen 1510 is provided to the administrator terminal 130. However, Figure 15 The detection history overview screen 1510 of (b) can be provided not only to the administrator terminal 130, but also, for example, displayed on the management device 110. That is, when the display control unit 1301 of the management device 110 displays the detection history overview screen to the security administrator 111, it can also display the same detection history overview screen as the detection history overview screen 1510.

[0218] (3) Specific example 2 of the processing performed by the display control unit

[0219] Next, as another specific example of the processing performed by the display control unit 1301, a specific example of the processing of the display particle information screen will be described. Figure 16 The second figure is a specific example of the processing performed by the display control unit.

[0220] As described above, the display control unit 1301 generates and displays a particle information screen, which is used to display particle information sent from the particle management device 140 and stored in the particle information storage unit 1320.

[0221] like Figure 16 As shown, the particle information screen 1600 includes a measurement location display area 1601 in the layout of the manufacturing site 600 within the substrate processing apparatus manufacturing plant, where the positions of particle sensors 150_1 to 150_4 are indicated by asterisks.

[0222] In addition, such as Figure 16 As shown, the particle information screen 1600 includes a sensor data display area 1602, which displays sensor data measured by particle sensors 150_1 to 150_4 and baseline values ​​of cleanliness for each area of ​​the manufacturing site 600 within the substrate processing plant.

[0223] In addition, Figure 16 In the example, the sensor data display area 1602 includes humidity and temperature data from the manufacturing site 600 within the substrate processing device manufacturing plant.

[0224] <Flowchart of robot management processes performed by a management device>

[0225] Next, the process of robot management by management device 110 will be explained. Figure 17 This is an example of a flowchart illustrating the process of robot management handled by a management device.

[0226] In step S1701, the management device 110 determines whether the inspection robot 120 has detected an increased risk of workplace injury for the workers. If the inspection robot 120 has sent dynamic image data and detection results, the management device 110 determines in step S1701 that a situation has been detected (determined as "yes" in step S1701) and proceeds to step S1702.

[0227] In step S1702, the management device 110 displays dynamic image data and detection results to the safety manager 111.

[0228] In step S1703, the management device 110 identifies the manager 131 of the worker who has detected an increased risk of workplace injury and generates email data that is sent to the manager terminal 130 of the manager 131.

[0229] In step S1704, the management device 110 sends email data to the determined sending target to notify the manager 131, and then proceeds to step S1705.

[0230] On the other hand, in step S1701, if no dynamic image data and detection results are sent from the patrol robot 120, the management device 110 determines that no detection was detected (determined as "no" in step S1701) and directly proceeds to step S1705.

[0231] In step S1705, the management device 110 determines whether it has received a display request for the detection history overview from the management terminal 130. If it is determined in step S1705 that no request has been received (if "No" is received in step S1705), the process proceeds to step S1709. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1705 that a request has been received (if "Yes" is received in step S1705), the process proceeds to step S1706.

[0232] In step S1706, the management device 110 generates a detection history overview screen 1510 for displaying the detection history overview and provides it to the management terminal 130.

[0233] In step S1707, the management device 110 determines whether the manager 131 has selected a detection history from the detection history list. If, in step S1707, it is determined that no detection history has been selected (if "No" is true in step S1707), the process proceeds to step S1709.

[0234] On the other hand, in step S1707, if it is determined that any detection history has been selected (if it is "yes" in step S1707), proceed to step S1708.

[0235] In step S1708, the management device 110 provides the dynamic image data and detection results corresponding to the selected detection history to the administrator terminal 130.

[0236] In step S1709, the management device 110 determines whether it has received particle information from the particle management device 140. If it is determined in step S1709 that no particle information has been received (if it is "no" in step S1709), the process proceeds to step S1712.

[0237] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1709 that particle information has been received (if it is "yes" in step S1709), proceed to step S1710.

[0238] In step S1710, the management device 110 determines whether the patrol information needs to be updated. If it is determined in step S1710 that the patrol information does not need to be updated (if it is "No" in step S1710), the process proceeds to step S1712.

[0239] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1710 that the inspection information needs to be updated (if it is "yes" in step S1710), proceed to step S1711.

[0240] In step S1711, the management device 110 generates update information for updating patrol information and sends it to the patrol robot 120.

[0241] In step S1712, the management device 110 determines whether to continue the robot management process. If it is determined in step S1712 to continue the robot management process (if "yes" is indicated in step S1712), the process returns to step S1701. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1712 not to continue the robot management process (if "no" is indicated in step S1712), the robot management process ends.

[0242] <The process of security management by the security management system>

[0243] Next, the overall process of security management by the security management system 100 will be explained. Figure 18 It is a flowchart representing the process of security management procedures performed by the security management system.

[0244] In step S1801, the particle management device 140 acquires particle information and sends it to the management device 110.

[0245] In step S1810, the management device 110 performs robot management processing. As a result, update information is sent to the patrol robot 120.

[0246] In step S1820, the inspection robot 120 performs inspection and cleaning processes. The inspection robot 120 updates its inspection information using update information and begins inspection and cleaning when it determines that it is time to do so. Furthermore, when an increased risk of workplace injury is detected, the inspection robot 120 sends dynamic image data and detection results to the management device 110. The management device 110 then sends a detection notification to the management terminal 130.

[0247] In step S1831, the administrator terminal 130 displays a detection notification to the administrator 131.

[0248] In step S1832, the administrator terminal 130 receives a display request for the detection history overview input by the administrator 131 and sends the display request to the management device 110. As a result, the management device 110 provides the detection history overview screen 1510 to the administrator terminal 130.

[0249] In step S1833, the administrator terminal 130 displays the provided detection history overview screen 1510.

[0250] In step S1834, the administrator terminal 130 receives the selection of detection history from the administrator 131, and the selected detection history is sent to the management device 110. Thus, the management device 110 provides the administrator terminal 130 with the dynamic image data and detection results corresponding to the selected detection history.

[0251] In step S1835, the administrator terminal 130 displays the dynamic image data and detection results corresponding to the selected detection history.

[0252] Then, the above process is repeatedly executed in the security management system 100.

[0253] Summary

[0254] As can be seen from the above description, the patrol robot 120 of the first embodiment is equipped with a camera device 320, a control device 310, and a notification device 330. The control device 310...

[0255] • It has a motion control unit 501 that controls the movement of the inspection robot 120 within the manufacturing site 600 of the substrate processing device manufacturing plant based on an inspection route for inspecting the work area of ​​the manufacturing site 600 within the substrate processing device manufacturing plant.

[0256] • It has a detection unit 504, which detects an increase in the risk of workplace injury to workers by processing dynamic image data captured by the camera 320 after the start of the inspection.

[0257] • It has a notification instruction unit 505, which, when it detects an increased risk of workplace injury to workers, sends a notification via notification device 330 urging workers to reduce the risk of workplace injury.

[0258] Thus, the inspection robot 120 of the first embodiment patrols the manufacturing site 600 within the substrate processing apparatus manufacturing plant while monitoring for situations that could increase the risk of workplace injuries to workers. Therefore, according to the inspection robot 120 of the first embodiment, for example, compared to a configuration that uses cameras installed at predetermined locations for monitoring,

[0259] • It can monitor not only workers in the work area, but also workers in various other scenarios.

[0260] Even if the layout of the manufacturing site 600 in the substrate processing unit manufacturing plant is changed, the operators can be monitored in the same way as before the change, as long as the inspection route is changed.

[0261] As a result, the patrol robot 120 according to the first embodiment can enhance the safety management of operators.

[0262] [Second Implementation]

[0263] In the first embodiment described above, the patrol robot 120 is described as having one patrol route, assuming that patrol and cleaning are performed in parallel. However, the patrol robot 120 may also have separate patrol routes for patrol and cleaning.

[0264] Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, the control device 310 of the inspection robot 120 is configured such that it has a detection unit 504 to detect situations where the risk of workplace injury to workers increases. However, the management device 110 may also have this detection unit 504.

[0265] Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, details of the training method were not mentioned in the generation of the trained model for detecting situations where the risk of workplace injury increases for workers. However, the trained model can, for example, be generated by training it using image data containing situations where the risk of workplace injury increases for workers through machine learning or sparse modeling.

[0266] Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, it was explained that the particle information acquired by the particle management device 140 is sent to the management device 110. However, it is also possible to configure the particle information acquired by the particle management device 140 to be sent to the inspection robot 120. Therefore, in the inspection robot 120, for example, the cleaning effect can be confirmed based on particle information acquired before the inspection and cleaning are about to begin and particle information acquired immediately after the inspection and cleaning have begun. Additionally, in the inspection robot 120, the cleaning intensity can be adjusted based on the confirmed effect.

[0267] Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, the inspection robot 120 was described as an integrated robot. However, in the inspection robot 120, for example, the sensor device 340, battery device 350, drive control device 360, drive mechanism 361, communication device 380, etc., can be separately installed from the camera device 320, notification device 330, control device 310, etc. In other words, the inspection robot 120 can also be implemented by equipping a typical autonomous transport robot with the camera device 320, notification device 330, control device 310, etc., for detecting situations where the risk of workplace injury to workers increases.

[0268] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the configurations exemplified in the above embodiments, or combinations thereof with other elements, as shown herein. Modifications can be made in these aspects without departing from the spirit of the invention, and can be appropriately determined depending on the application.
