Coating material management system

Abstract

To enable proper and effortless management of the expiration dates of coating materials. [Solution] The solder management system 1 includes a printing device 14 that supplies solder paste from a solder container 10 mounted on a container mounting unit 16 and prints it, an RFID reader 4 that reads the wireless tag 2 of the solder container 10 mounted on the container mounting unit 16, a solder management database 72 that stores management data of the solder paste contained in the solder container 10, and a control unit 71 that stores data as management data in the solder management database 72 that associates the date and time the solder container 10 was mounted on the container mounting unit 16 with the identification information of the solder container 10. The control unit 71 stores the date and time the RFID reader 4 reads the wireless tag 2 as the "mounting date and time" in the solder management database 72.

Claims

1.

2. In the coating material management system according to claim 1, The system further includes a storage cabinet for storing the container at a predetermined temperature. A coating material management system comprising: a control unit further acquires the date and time of the container's departure from the storage facility and the date and time of production start in the substrate processing apparatus, and stores data relating the departure date and time, the production start time and time, and the identification information in the storage unit as management data.

3. In the coating material management system according to claim 2, The system further includes a second reader for reading the wireless tags of the containers stored in the storage facility, The control unit acquires the date and time when the container moved outside the communication range between the wireless tag and the second reader as the date and time of dispatch, in the coating material management system.

4. In the coating material management system according to claim 2 or 3, The system further includes an operation input unit that allows the user to select from the aforementioned installation date and time, the aforementioned dispatch date and time, and the aforementioned production start date and time to determine the start date and time for calculating the expiration date of the coating material. The control unit is a coating material management system that stores in the storage unit the date and time selected by the operation of the operation input unit as the start date and time for calculating the expiration date of the coating material.

5. In the coating material management system according to claim 2 or 3, The control unit acquires the date and time when the container is removed from the container mounting unit, the date and time when the container is returned to the storage unit, and the date and time when production ends in the substrate processing device, and stores data as management data in the storage unit, as the data relating the removal date and time, the re-entry date and time, and the production end date and time and the identification information.

6. In the coating material management system according to claim 5, The control unit acquires the date and time when the container moved outside the communication range between the wireless tag and the first reader as the removal date and time, in the coating material management system.

7. In the coating material management system according to claim 5, It further includes a notification unit capable of notifying information by displaying images and / or sound, The control unit performs a process to notify the notification unit of information indicating an abnormality if the container is not attached to the container mounting unit within a set time from the date and time of dispatch.

8. In the coating material management system according to claim 5, It further includes a notification unit capable of notifying information by displaying images and / or sound, The control unit performs a process to notify the notification unit of an abnormality if the container is not returned to the storage facility within a set time from either the removal date and time or the production end date and time.

9. In the coating material management system according to claim 8, When the aforementioned setting time is defined as the first setting time, The control unit, if the time from one of the dates and times to the date and time of re-entry exceeds a second set time which is longer than the first set time, stores in the storage unit disposal information indicating that the container is to be disposed of, associated with the identification information, and when the container to be disposed of is mounted in the container mounting unit, executes a process to notify the notification unit of information indicating an abnormality.

10. In the coating material management system according to claim 4, It further includes a notification unit capable of notifying information by displaying images and / or sound, The control unit performs a process to notify the notification unit of information indicating an abnormality if the cumulative elapsed time from the start date and time exceeds the expiration date.

11. In the coating material management system according to any one of claims 1 to 3, The aforementioned wireless tag is an RFID tag, which is used in the coating material management system.

12. In the coating material management system according to any one of claims 1 to 3, The substrate processing apparatus is a printing apparatus that performs the process of printing a coating material supplied from the container mounted on the container mounting section onto the substrate, and is a coating material management system.
