A feeder arrangement support system for supporting an arrangement of a feeder on a feeder arrangement unit includes a imaging unit that images information, a processor that superimposes arrangement support information for supporting the feeder arrangement on the feeder arrangement unit on an image obtained by imaging the feeder arrangement unit or a field of view of a worker, to generate a superimposed composite image, and a display that displays the superimposed composite image.

Feeder arrangement support system and method for supporting feeder arrangement

A production system includes a production line for producing a product by connecting a plurality of production facilities having working units for doing work on a transported workpiece; a gap time calculator that calculates a plurality of gap times respectively corresponding to the plurality of the production facilities until a next workpiece is transported from an upstream production facility to each of the plurality of the production facilities based on a production status of each of the plurality of the production facilities; and a preparation operation determination unit that determines an automatic preparation operation capable of being executed in each of the plurality of the production facilities based on the plurality of the gap times. Each of the plurality of the production facilities executes the determined automatic preparation operation.

Preparation operation determination system, method, and apparatus

In a production management method of a substrate in a component mounting system having plural component mounting lines configured to include plural component mounting apparatuses, reading production data of an interrupt type substrate; collecting equipment data of each of the component mounting lines; and determining at least one component mounting line to produce the interrupt type substrate based on the read production data of the interrupt type substrate and the collected equipment data of each of the component mounting lines are performed.

Production management method of substrate in component mounting system

A component mounting method is provided in a component mounting apparatus that mounts a component onto a board using a plurality of pieces of production data linked to component data. The method includes executing, when the component data is changed, a simulation of a production cycle time based on the production data, and comparing a simulation result of the production cycle time after change of the component data with a production cycle time or a simulation result of the production cycle time before change of the component data, and outputting a comparison result.

Component mounting method and component mounting system

There is provided a component arrangement determination method, in a component mounting apparatus including a plurality of component supply units for supplying components, for determining arrangement of the component supply units used for production of a plurality of types of component mounted boards. The method includes specifying a production frequency of each of the plurality of types of component mounted boards for a predetermined period of time, grouping the plurality of types of component mounted boards into a plurality of groups capable of being produced without changing the arrangement of the component supply units based on the production frequency, and determining arrangement, in the component mounting apparatus, of the component supply units for supplying components necessary for production of types of component mounted boards that belong to each group of the plurality of groups.

Component arrangement determination method

Electronic component mounting method for mounting an electronic component on a plurality of board types includes: placing, on tray holding shelves, trays storing components for first and second board types, respectively; recognizing on which tray holding shelf the tray is placed by reading identification information from the trays. The method further includes: rearranging the trays in the tray feeder to a first tray arrangement adapted for the first board type, based on recognized placement position of the tray and the first tray arrangement data, before start of production of the board of the first board type; and rearranging the trays in the tray feeder to a second tray arrangement adapted for the second board type, based on the second tray arrangement data, before start of production of the board of the second board type.
