Production Plan Control for Self-Propelled Facility Deployment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing production systems for vehicles and moving bodies produced by self-propelled production lack effective methods for deploying production facilities and work objects based on production plans, leading to inefficiencies and potential waiting times.
Innovation Solution
A control device that acquires production plan information, identifies regions for deploying production facilities and work objects, and instructs their movement using unmanned driving, with the ability to adjust routes and operations based on changing plans.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If production facilities are deployed without optimization based on production plans, then deployment simplicity is maintained, but production efficiency deteriorates due to waiting times and operational inefficiencies
Solution Approach 1:
The control device acquires production plan information in advance and identifies optimal deployment regions for production facilities and work objects before actual production begins. This preliminary identification of regions based on production plans allows facilities to be positioned optimally ahead of time, eliminating waiting times and improving production efficiency without adding operational complexity during execution
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts deployment regions based on changing production plans. When production plan information changes, the identifying unit re-identifies optimal regions, and the instruction unit updates movement instructions accordingly. This dynamic adaptability allows the system to maintain high productivity while responding flexibly to plan changes without requiring complex manual reconfiguration
2Adaptability or versatility
If production facilities are fixed in position, then deployment complexity is reduced, but adaptability to production plan changes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The control device serves multiple functions: it acquires production plan information, identifies deployment regions for both production facilities and work objects, instructs movement of facilities and work objects, and adapts to plan changes. This universal control system handles multiple deployment scenarios (facilities moving, work objects moving, or both) through a single integrated device, improving adaptability while managing complexity centrally rather than through multiple specialized systems
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors production plan information and uses this feedback to re-identify optimal deployment regions when plans change. The control device receives updated production plan information, processes it through the identifying unit to determine new optimal regions, and issues updated movement instructions, creating a closed-loop feedback system that maintains adaptability without requiring complex manual intervention
3Loss of time
If work objects are not pre-positioned according to production plans, then initial setup time is reduced, but production waiting time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control device identifies optimal deployment regions for work objects based on production plan information before production begins. The instruction unit then instructs work objects to move to these pre-identified regions in advance, ensuring they are positioned optimally when needed. This preliminary positioning eliminates waiting times during production operations while the automated region identification manages the coordination complexity

AI summary
The control device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires production plan information indicating a production plan of a moving body produced by self-propelled production that produces a moving body by using movement of the moving body by unmanned driving; a production facility that is used for self-propelled production by using the production plan information; a identifying unit that identifies a region in which at least one of a worker performing a particular task in self-propelled production is arranged; and an instruction unit that instructs the manager to move the working object to the region identified by the identifying unit.
