Mounting Data Group Identification for Changed Reference Sets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the mounting process for components on a substrate, it is difficult to identify changes in data groups as the number of types increases, complicating the confirmation of altered data, especially when data used in multiple component mounters is copied and potentially modified for process improvement.
Innovation Solution
A data management device with a determination section and an output section that identifies specific reference data groups associated with derivative data groups, which include changed data, by distinguishing between normal and changed data groups through identification information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data groups are copied and modified for process improvement in multiple component mounters, then the mounting process can be optimized, but it becomes difficult to identify which data groups have changes as the number of data types increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies visual differentiation (analogous to color changes) by displaying identification information that distinguishes between normal reference data groups and specific reference data groups associated with derivative data groups. This allows operators to quickly identify which data groups have changes without manually comparing each data group, resolving the contradiction between process adaptability and change detection difficulty.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the number of data groups increases to cover more mounting scenarios, then the system becomes more versatile, but the complexity of confirming data changes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential information needed for change identification by displaying only the identification information of specific reference data groups that are associated with derivative data groups. This allows the system to maintain high versatility with many data groups while keeping the confirmation operation simple by showing only the relevant changed data groups rather than requiring review of all data groups.
3Ease of operation
If all reference data groups are displayed without differentiation, then the system is simple to operate, but operators cannot efficiently identify which data groups have changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses visual differentiation through identification information display to distinguish between normal and specific reference data groups. This maintains interface simplicity by keeping the overall display structure unchanged while adding differentiation markers that prevent loss of change information, allowing operators to quickly identify modified data groups without complicating the interface.

AI summary
A data management device includes a determination section and an output section. Here, a set of data used in a mounting process of mounting a component on a substrate is defined as a data group. The determination section determines whether the derivative data group is associated with each of multiple types of the reference data groups. The output section outputs an identification information identifying a specific reference data group, which is the reference data group with which the derivative data group is associated, so as to be distinguishable from identification information identifying a normal reference data group, which is the reference data group with which the derivative data group is not associated, based on a determination result by the determination section.
