An electronic component system includes an electronic component mounting line mounting an electronic component on a board (exposure managing board) for which management of exposure time is necessary, a package ID reader (recognition unit) which recognizes a package code (identification information) that is applied to a package bag, and a storage unit which stores an exposure time limit which is permissible from an open time before reaching a management release in which management of the exposure time is unnecessary. In the electronic component mounting system, the package code is read while the package bag is open, the read time is stored as the open time, an expected duration is calculated which is necessary from a predetermined point of time before reaching the management release, and it is determined whether or not the exposure time limit is exceeded before the board which is exposed in the atmosphere reaches the management release.

Electronic component mounting system and electronic component mounting method

An electronic component mounting system includes: mounting line management apparatuses disposed in each of mounting lines and an integrated management apparatus connected to the mounting line management apparatuses. The integrated management apparatus includes a first collation unit which performs collation of an electronic component based on identification information for identifying the electronic component. The mounting line management apparatus includes a second collation unit which performs collation of the electronic component. When the identification information is read out by the identification information reading-out unit, the collation of the electronic component is performed by the first collation unit if the mounting line management apparatus can access the integrated management apparatus, and the collation of the electronic component is performed by the second collation unit if the mounting line management apparatus cannot access the integrated management apparatus.

Electronic component mounting system

Provided is an electronic component mounting system that includes an electronic component mounting line that includes multiple electronic component mounters to which identification marks, respectively, are affixed, a management computer, and a portable terminal that has a recognition unit that recognizes the identification mark. In the management computer, a maintenance operation plan is created, a maintenance instruction in which the maintenance operation plan and the identification mark are associated with each other is issued, each of the multiple maintenance instructions and maintenance information that is associated with each of the multiple maintenance instructions are stored, one of the multiple maintenance instructions and maintenance information that is associated with the one maintenance instruction are transmitted to the portable terminal.

Maintenance support system and maintenance support method in electronic component mounting system

An electronic component mounting system includes plural mounting line systems, and an integrated system capable of communication with the plural mounting line systems. The mounting line systems have an electronic component mounting line, a mounting line management unit, and an identification information reading unit. If identification information read by the identification information reading unit is not stored in an integrated database, a component information reading unit included in the mounting line management unit reads from a local database the identification information and information about a use status of electronic components housed in an electronic component housing body to which the identification information is attached.

A method of determining whether printing components suitable for a type of a substrate are correctly set in a screen printing device that makes a mask provided with a pattern hole abut on the substrate, supplies paste onto the mask, and slides a squeegee to thereby print the paste on the substrate through the pattern hole, includes reading identification marks attached to respective printing components, verifying pieces of component information corresponding to the read identification marks using pieces of component information allocated to the substrate in advance in production data, and informing purport when a printing component having discordant component information is present in the verification. The printing components include at least a mask, a squeegee, and paste.

System for determining suitability of printing component set in screen printing device and method for determining suitability of set printing component

In error coping executed when it is determined that an electronic component is a different type of component which is not a regular electronic component to be supplied from a part feeder in a component mounting process, production operation of the component mounting device is stopped, a component set timing at which the different type of component is set is specified on the basis of component set history information, all of the substrates to be target of production by the component mounting device after a specified component set timing are specified as substrates to be managed on which the different type of components are potentially mounted, and the production operation of all of the devices arranged downstream, and intended to produce the substrates to be managed is stopped.

Method of manufacturing mounting substrate

A mounter for a manufacturing management method suppresses an occurrence of inventory shortage or excess inventory as much as possible, and provides energy savings when manufacturing is not performed at full capacity. A throughput determining step acquires manufacturing information included in a manufacturing plan while manufacturing equipment is manufacturing mounted boards and determines a throughput of the manufacturing equipment for the mounted boards based on the manufacturing information while the manufacturing equipment is manufacturing a sequence of the mounted boards. A manufacturing condition determining step determines a manufacturing condition for decreasing power consumption of the manufacturing equipment within a range of throughput not lower than the determined throughput in the case where the throughput determined in the throughput determining step is equal to or lower than a current throughput of the manufacturing equipment.
