  • Publication number: 20250107058
    Abstract: A dispensation management device of the present disclosure manages dispensing of a component in an automatic warehouse in which multiple components are stored and the component is dispensed as necessary in one or multiple production lines including multiple component mounters which are arranged in a conveyance direction of a board and each of which loads the board via a buffer configured to temporarily store the board and mounts the component. In a case where dispensing of multiple components used in different component mounters is necessary, the dispensation management device determines a dispensing order of the multiple components based on a retention amount of the board retained in front of each of the multiple component mounters.
