AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing control system configurations fail to efficiently allocate computational resources to satisfy changing time constraints in manufacturing equipment, leading to inefficiencies or malfunctions due to unsatisfied communication response times during scaling up or down.

Method used

A control device with a scaling determination unit, image selection unit, and reconfiguration unit dynamically adjusts virtual computing resources to meet time constraints by selecting an appropriate image from an image library that satisfies the changed requirements, ensuring efficient resource allocation and communication response times.

Benefits of technology

The solution enables efficient allocation of computing resources to meet changing time constraints, ensuring compliance with communication response times, thereby preventing equipment malfunctions and optimizing resource utilization during scaling operations.

Abstract

A control device (10) is provided with a scaling determination unit (142), an image selection unit (143), and a reconfiguration unit (144). When a time constraint corresponding to each of at least one of one or more manufacturing facilities (40) has been changed, the scaling determination unit (142) determines, on the basis of the time constraint corresponding to each of the one or more manufacturing facilities (40) after the change, whether to execute scaling processing for changing a calculation resource to be allocated to a virtual calculation environment. When it is determined that the scaling processing is to be executed, the image selection unit (143) selects, as the selection image, an image of the virtual calculation environment that satisfies the time constraint corresponding to each of the one or more manufacturing facilities (40) after the change, said selection being made on the basis of the amount of the calculation resources allocated to the virtual calculation environment. The reconfiguration unit (144) reconfigures the virtual calculation environment on the basis of the selection image.
