Component replenishment management apparatus, component mounting system and component replenishment management method

Abstract

The attachment possible period during which the attachment operation of the component supply reel can be performed is predicted for each of the tape feeders equipped in the component mounting apparatus, and the attachment time indicating a timing of the attachment operation is set to overlap the attachment possible periods of the candidate feeders, out of the tape feeders. Therefore, a frequency of the component replenishment operation of the operator can be suppressed. Further, the execution mode of the attachment operation for the candidate feeder corresponding to the attachment time is determined based on the number of the components planned to be supplied in accordance with the production planning by the candidate feeder. Therefore, a number of the components suitable for the production planning of the components-mounted boards can be replenished.
