Abstract
The operator identification system is capable of managing the information required for authentication of operators centrally with high operation rate. The operator identification system includes a manufacturing cell including a manufacturing machine and a cell controller that can communicate with the manufacturing machine. The cell controller includes a first operator identification information acquisition unit for acquiring operator identification information, a first operation permission/inhibition information storage unit for storing operation permission/inhibition information of the operator on the manufacturing machine, and a first operator identification unit for determining an operation executable by the operator on the manufacturing machine based on the operator identification information and the operation permission/inhibition information. The manufacturing machine includes a second operator identification information acquisition unit, a second operation permission/inhibition information storage unit, a second operator identification unit, and an operation unit for accepting the operation by the operator. The operation unit executes the operation determined to be executable by the first operator identification unit or the second operator identification unit.
