  • Publication number: 20230371224
    Abstract: In a case where a target feeder to be used in a target job is pre-served, a management device determines whether a predetermined slot of the target feeder overlaps with a predetermined slot of a feeder to be used in a preceding job executed prior to the target job. When predetermined slots of both feeders do not overlap with each other, the management device pre-serves the target feeder in the predetermined slot of the target feeder. On the other hand, when the predetermined slots of both feeders overlap with each other, the management device serves the target feeder to the predetermined slot of the target feeder after an execution of a preceding job which uses a feeder of which a predetermined slot overlaps with the predetermined slot of the target feeder is completed.

  • Patent number: 11076521
    Abstract: A production plan creation computer, in a production plan creation process before starting production, creates or enters multiple production jobs required for producing the multiple types of component-mounted boards that are planned to be produced, and predicts or enters a production job that may become a jump-the-queue job to be produced unscheduled while one of the multiple production jobs is being produced. Next, the jump-the-queue job and the production jobs are grouped into multiple setup groups, with the jump-the-queue job being included in all the setup groups. Here, the jobs are grouped in each setup group such that it is possible to switch between the production jobs and the jump-the-queue job without performing changeover. The priorities of the jump-the-queue job and the production jobs are determined, and the feeder arrangement is optimized for each setup group based on the priorities of the jump-the-queue job and the production jobs.

  • Patent number: 10634643
    Abstract: A NOx sensor includes a pump cell, a monitor cell, and a sensor cell, and the pump cell discharges an oxygen in an exhaust gas introduced into a chamber. The sensor cell outputs a detected signal depending on a concentration of a NOx according to a gas after the oxygen is discharged. A microcomputer of a sensor control circuit temporarily changes an amount of the oxygen discharged by the pump cell, and then calculates output change amounts ?Ip, ?Is, and ?Im of the cells. The microcomputer performs a correction of the concentration of the NOx detected by the sensor cell and a deterioration diagnosis of the sensor cell, based on the output change amounts ?Ip, ?Is, and ?Im of the cells. When the sensor cell current Is is smaller than the monitor cell current Im, the microcomputer determines that the NOx sensor has an abnormality.
