DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a production equipment control data management system for promptly instructing a changeover of production equipment in high-mix low-volume production and improving equipment operation efficiency.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When assembling a product, such as mounting components on a printed circuit board, in a production facility controlled by production facility control (CAM) data, when assembling a product in the production facility, the CA for processing products
M data must be set and registered in the production equipment. The registration of the CAM data is individually registered for each production facility that performs processing when processing a product.

Here, the setting and registration of the CAM data to the production equipment varies depending on the product to be processed, and a skilled full-time operator performs the setting and registration of the CAM data for each production equipment. The management of the flow of the product is managed and operated by a person different from the above-mentioned dedicated operator of the production equipment in consideration of distribution.

[0004]

Conventionally, as described above, in the production of many kinds of small lots, the products to be processed change frequently, so that the CAM data must be frequently changed. However, since this is performed by the appointed operator for each production facility, there is a problem that the operation is very complicated and quick response cannot be performed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and has as its object to enable the CAM data of a production facility to be changed quickly without being an appointed operator. .

[0006]

A production equipment control data management system according to the present invention is a production equipment comprising a combination of a product number and an equipment number indicating a production equipment to be processed, and production equipment control data corresponding thereto. A control database, an input unit for reading product number information attached to the production equipment, and adding equipment number information indicating the production equipment to the read product number information, and product number information and equipment number information sent from the input unit The data search unit retrieves and extracts production equipment control data corresponding to these from the production equipment control database, and the data distribution unit transfers the production equipment control data extracted by the data search unit to the production equipment and sets it. It is characterized by having been done.

[0007]

In a production facility, when a product number of a product to be processed is inputted, production facility control data for processing the product is registered and set in the production facility.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing a configuration of a production equipment control data management system according to one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a CAM data management terminal for performing new registration, deletion and editing of CAM data, 2 denotes a production equipment control data management unit for managing CAM data, and 3 denotes a CAM according to an instruction from the CAM data management terminal 1. This is a CAM data registration unit that performs new registration and deletion / edit of data.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a CAM database storing CAM data, 5 denotes a CAM data search unit for searching the CAM database 4 for predetermined CAM data, and 6 denotes a CAM data searched by the CAM data search unit 5 for a predetermined CAM data. A CAM data distribution unit for distributing to the production equipment, 7 and 8 are a first production equipment, an n-th production equipment for performing production processing,
Reference numerals 9 and 10 denote a first bar code reader and an n-th bar code reader arranged in the first production facility 7 and the n-th production facility 8, respectively.

Here, from the state of the basic part A, when assembling to the product A using the first production equipment 7 to the n-th production equipment 8, the first bar code label A is attached to the basic part A in advance. It is attached. And this basic part A
The second barcode label A is also attached to the work slip A attached to the worksheet A. These barcode labels include
FIG. 3 in which the item code (product number) shown in FIG. 3 is bar-coded and printed is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the correspondence between the item code, the facility code, and the CAM data.

Hereinafter, a production control method using the attached barcode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the first barcode label A of the basic part A,
Alternatively, the second barcode label A on the work slip A is read by the first barcode reader 9 of the first production facility 7 (step S1). FIG. 3 shows the read barcode data.
The equipment code (equipment number information) shown in FIG. In this case, a facility code indicating the first production facility is added and transferred to the CAM data search unit 5 (step S).
2).

In the CAM data search unit 5 to which the data has been transferred, the item code indicating the product A and the equipment code of the production equipment to be assembled are compared with the item code and the equipment code stored in the CAM database 4. Each combination is compared and collated, and a corresponding CAM data file is searched (step S3). Where the corresponding CAM
If the data file exists, the CAM data distribution unit 6
Distributes and registers the corresponding CAM data to the first production facility 7 (step S4). Thus, the first production facility 7 starts assembling using the basic part A (step S5).

The product A in the first production facility 7
When the assembly of the product A is completed, the CAM data is set in this production facility and the assembly of the product A is continued in the production facility for performing the next assembly of the product A. As described above, the assembly of the product A is continued using the necessary production equipment until the assembly of the product A is completed. If there is no CAM data at the stage of step S3, the first production equipment 7 is notified via the CAM data search unit 5 that there is no CAM data (step S6).
In this case, the product A cannot be assembled.

On the other hand, when registering CAM data,
The item code, the equipment code, the CAM data file name, and the corresponding CAM data shown in FIG. 3 are stored in the CAM from the AM data management terminal 1 via the CAM data registration unit 3.
Register in database 4. By doing so, the CAM data that has been registered for each production facility in the past can be used for CA
Since it suffices to register in the M database 4, there is no need to register each production facility, and the setting of the CAM data is simplified, so that quick work is possible. In the above embodiment, the first barcode label A attached to the basic part A or the second barcode label A of the work slip A attached to the basic part A is read. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and both may be read and the correspondence between the basic part A and the work slip A may be confirmed.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, CAM data (production equipment control data) of production equipment can be changed by using the product number of a product to be processed, even if the operator is not an appointment operator. Therefore, there is an effect that the production type can be quickly changed in multi-product small lot production.
