  • Patent number: 11093750
    Abstract: A control device in a control system has a lighting control section which requests so as to cause the lighting state of an indicator lamp of a specific control unit to change in a predetermined identification pattern, and the control device or a terminal has: an indicator lamp recognition section which recognizes the indicator lamp in an image; a change pattern recognition section which recognizes a change in the lighting state of the indicator lamp in the image; an indicator lamp specification section which specifies the indicator lamp having a change pattern in lighting state which matches the identification pattern, as the indicator lamp of the control unit which the lighting control section caused the lighting state to change in the identification pattern; and a display control section which causes information related to the control unit to be displayed on the monitor of the terminal.

  • Patent number: 10451485
    Abstract: An image display device acquires data representing a status of a temperature distribution of a machining machine based on information on machining and generates a temperature distribution image from the acquired data. Further, a three-dimensional machining simulation representing a status of machining is performed to generate a three-dimensional simulation animation and a projection image is generated from the three-dimensional simulation animation. Then, an image obtained by synthesizing the temperature distribution image and the projection image is generated and displayed.

  • Patent number: 10274940
    Abstract: A management system outputs at least one of a start-up start time and a warming start time of a plurality of machines. An input unit receives the input of a machining start time and the largest number of the machines. An estimation unit estimates a start-up period, a warming period, and a process period of each of the plurality of machines. A determination unit determines at least one of a start-up start time and a warming start time of each of the plurality of machines based on the machining start time, the largest number of the machines, the start-up period, the warming period, and the process period. A notification unit notifies at least one of the start-up start time and the warming start time.
