Optional Function Display for Mounting Machine Lot Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Operators face difficulties in effectively confirming the necessity of optional functions for electronic component mounting machines across multiple production lots, as existing technologies fail to efficiently display the required information, leading to cumbersome operations in allocating tasks to machines with or without specific functionalities.
Innovation Solution
A device with an extraction processing section and a display section is introduced to extract and visually display necessity information for optional functions, allowing operators to easily identify necessary functions without requiring extensive operations, using icons, color changes, and positioning to highlight important functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If operators confirm necessity information for optional functions by referencing data in electronic component mounting machines, then accurate function allocation is achieved, but the confirmation process becomes troublesome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
A data management device is introduced as an intermediary between the production planning device and electronic component mounting machines. This mediator extracts necessity information from production programs, aggregates it by optional function type, and presents it in a consolidated display, eliminating the need for operators to manually check multiple machine data sources while ensuring accurate function allocation
Solution Approach 2:
The data management device extracts necessity information specifically related to optional functions from the comprehensive production program data. By isolating and aggregating only the relevant function necessity information, the system presents a simplified view that maintains accuracy while reducing the complexity of confirmation operations
2Productivity
If multiple production lots are allocated to multiple electronic component mounting machines, then production efficiency is improved, but the complexity of managing optional function requirements increases
Solution Approach 1:
The data management device merges necessity information from multiple production lots and aggregates it by optional function type. This consolidation displays the union of all required optional functions across multiple production lots in a single view, enabling efficient multi-lot allocation while reducing the management complexity through unified information presentation
Solution Approach 2:
The data management device serves multiple functions: it extracts necessity information from production programs, aggregates data across multiple production lots, identifies required optional functions, and displays consolidated results. This multi-functional approach supports efficient allocation across multiple machines and lots while managing complexity through a single unified system
