A material management apparatus (management computer) includes a production plan acquirer that acquires production plan information including a type of a material (cream solder) for bonding a component to a substrate, the material being used for production of a mounting substrate obtained by mounting the component on the substrate; a material status acquirer that acquires material status information on the material preserved in a material preservatory which preserves an accommodating portion (solder pot) in which the material is accommodated; and a material preparation instructor that creates and transmits an instruction to prepare the accommodating portion to be put out from the material preservatory, based on the production plan information and the material status information.

Material management apparatus and material preparing method

A component management system includes an acquirer that acquires the component information from the component supply device, a management system side storage that stores the component information acquired by the acquirer in association with the component supply device, and an information updater that updates the component information stored in the component supply device side storage and the management system side storage based on a detection result of the detector.

Component supply device and component management system using the same

A mounting turn that is going to be performed from now on and the identifiers of the feeders that are the supply sources of the components for the mounting turn are read out from a mounting program, and it is determined whether there is a non-supply feeder which does not supply a component to the component supply positionin the feeders corresponding to the identifiers that are read out, based on the output from the component detecting sensors provided in the feeders corresponding to the identifiers that are read out. As a result, when there is not a non-supply feeder, the mounting turn that is read out is performed, and when there is a non-supply feeder, the performing of the mounting turn that is read out is suspended and another mounting turn is read out.
