Production Management for Interrupt Substrates in Component Mounting Lines
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The replacement of equipment in component mounting lines to produce interrupt type substrates significantly decreases production efficiency, as it requires stopping and reconfiguring the existing production lines.
Innovation Solution
A production management method that reads production data for interrupt type substrates and collects equipment data from multiple component mounting lines to determine the most suitable line for producing the interrupt type substrate with minimal changes to the existing equipment, optimizing the use of available resources and reducing the need for operator intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If equipment replacement is performed to produce interrupt type substrates, then the ability to produce different substrate types is improved, but production efficiency significantly decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables existing component mounting lines to perform multiple functions by allowing them to produce both their primary substrate type and interrupt type substrates without equipment replacement. The system achieves this by dynamically allocating production capacity and using the same mounting heads and equipment for different substrate types, thereby eliminating the need for dedicated equipment while maintaining production efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic production management where the component mounting lines can flexibly switch between producing primary substrates and interrupt type substrates based on production needs. The controller dynamically adjusts production parameters, mounting head selections, and process conditions to accommodate different substrate types without physical equipment changes, enabling the system to adapt to varying production requirements in real-time.
2Adaptability or versatility
If equipment replacement is performed to produce interrupt type substrates, then production of interrupt type substrates is enabled, but operator workload increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service system where the controller automatically manages the entire process of producing interrupt type substrates. The system autonomously selects appropriate component mounting lines, configures mounting heads, adjusts production parameters, and coordinates the manufacturing process without requiring operator intervention for equipment replacement or reconfiguration. This automation eliminates the manual workload associated with equipment changes while maintaining the ability to produce diverse substrate types.
3Adaptability or versatility
If equipment is reconfigured for interrupt type substrate production, then production flexibility is improved, but production time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring multiple component mounting lines with different mounting heads and capabilities to handle various substrate types. The system maintains ready-to-use configurations for both primary and interrupt type substrates in advance, so when interrupt type substrate production is needed, the controller can immediately allocate an appropriately pre-configured line without requiring time-consuming equipment reconfiguration or replacement during production.
