Board Work Machine Status Display for Replenishment Time Breakdown
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data processing devices struggle to accurately display the wait time from when a component is insufficient to when replenishment starts and the work time from when replenishment begins to when the component is replenished, making it difficult for users to grasp the component supply status.
Innovation Solution
An operation status display device and method that acquires and displays the wait time and work time in a graph, distinguishing between the wait time for component insufficiency and the work time for replenishment, allowing users to visualize the stop time of board work machines from insufficiency to replenishment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If component supply wait time and number of times of component supply are displayed side by side, then users can determine operator distribution issues, but users cannot grasp the detailed breakdown of wait time (from insufficiency to replenishment start) and work time (from replenishment start to completion)
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the total component supply wait time into two distinct components: (1) time from component insufficiency detection to replenishment work start, and (2) time from replenishment work start to completion. This segmentation is achieved through separate display areas that show each time component independently, allowing users to understand the detailed time breakdown while maintaining comprehensive component supply status information.
2Device complexity
If only total stop time is displayed, then the display is simple, but users cannot distinguish between wait time and work time components
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into multiple distinct areas: a first display area showing the total stop time, and second display areas showing the breakdown into wait time and work time components. This segmentation allows the display to maintain relative simplicity while providing precise time component differentiation, resolving the contradiction between display complexity and measurement precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a dimensional aspect to the time display by presenting time information in multiple layers: the total stop time dimension and the component breakdown dimension. This is achieved through separate display areas that organize time information hierarchically, allowing users to view both aggregate and detailed time data without increasing overall display complexity.

AI summary
An operation status display device displays an operation status of a board work machine, in which an operator replenishes an article to be used in production of a board product, and the operation status display device includes an acquisition section and a display section. The acquisition section is configured to acquire a first time, which is a wait time from when the article is insufficient in the board work machine to when the operator starts replenishment work of the article, and a second time, which is a work time from when the operator starts the replenishment work to when the article is replenished in the board work machine. The display section is configured to display the first time and the second time when the article is insufficient in the board work machine to when the article is replenished.
