Publication number: 20200005240Abstract: A delivery planning device is provided to efficiently cope with delivery requirements of a loading place, an off-loading place, a cargo amount, a car loading vehicle, and a work shift of a driver that fluidly change. A delivery planning device receives and registers one or more delivery requests relating to deliveries between predetermined points. The delivery requests are divided into deliveries in one or more areas for which drivers of a predetermined number of delivery vehicles are responsible according to the predetermined number of the delivery vehicles; and a vehicle route planning unit specifies a delivery route and a cost relating to deliveries for each combination of a candidate for a relay place between the areas and a relay time in the candidate for the relay place, and specifies the delivery route as a vehicle route using the cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2019Publication date: January 2, 2020Inventors: Sozen KO, Junko HOSODA, Tazu NOMOTO, Takahiro OGURA, Kiyofumi INOUE

Publication number: 20180009063Abstract: The technical problems to be solved are to keep the vicinity of the nozzle opening clean and to restrain the jet liquid column from tilting. The solution to problems lies in a method for cleaning a nozzle of a laser machining apparatus to process a work piece to be processed by a laser beam introduced into a jet liquid column, the method comprising the steps of: forming the jet liquid column by jetting a liquid from the nozzle; and irradiating a spot 30 of the laser beam onto a vicinal section of an inlet opening 22c of the nozzle in such a state that a peak power per unit area of the spot 30 of the laser beam irradiated on a surface provided with the inlet opening 22c of the nozzle does not go beyond a threshold value at which the nozzle is damaged and removing foreign matters attached on the surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2017Publication date: January 11, 2018Applicant: SUGINO MACHINE LIMITEDInventor: Takahiro OGURA

Patent number: 7805284Abstract: An issue to be settled by the present invention is to define a simulation model in accordance with the structure of a causal relation easy to be understood by human and to shorten greatly a simulation program development period. A simulation program is automatically generated by extracting, as nodes, specific items such as phenomenon, events and targets of constituent elements of economy, society or the like regarded as a system, coupling the nodes with arcs to define the structure of the causal relation, and defining a variable necessary for calculating metrics and a calculation formula therefor, relative to a simulation model inheriting the defined structure.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2007Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Konno, Kenichi Funaki, Takahiro Ogura, Akira Nagamatsu
