Abstract
An automated manufacture line includes a host controller device which sets individual control conditions and a plurality of automatic working devices which are connected to the host controller device and perform their automatic works. Each automatic working device includes a carry portion for carrying in an object to be processed from the upper stream side of the line and carrying out it to the lower stream side of the line, an input portion capable of inputting work data concerning the object handled by its own automatic working device, and a controller for adjusting a work parameter of its own automatic working device on the basis of the work data inputted from the input portion or work data transmitted from another automatic working device on the upper stream side of the line, outputting the work data to another automatic working device provided on the lower stream side of the line, driving the carry portion in response to an object carry-out request signal from another automatic working device provided on the lower stream side of the line to carry out the object to that automatic working device, and outputting an object carry-out request signal to another automatic working device positioned on the upper stream side of its own automatic working device.
