  • Publication number: 20240124234
    Abstract: In a component warehousing support apparatus, the stock quantity which is the number of target components to be warehoused, which are actually stored in each of component storages, is acquired for each of the plurality of component storages. Then, the warehousing destination candidate information indicating a candidate of the warehousing destination of the target component among the plurality of component storages is calculated on the basis of the stock quantity of the target component in each of the plurality of the component storages. Therefore, a candidate of the warehousing destination in accordance with the stock quantity of the target component in each component storage can be confirmed with reference to the warehousing destination candidate information. As a result, it becomes possible to easily determine an appropriate component storage as the warehousing destination of the component from among the plurality of component storages.

  • Publication number: 20240130098
    Abstract: A feeder insertion/removal device includes an insertion and removal movement mechanism, a detection unit, and an insertion and removal control unit. The insertion and removal movement mechanism moves the feeder along an insertion and removal direction with respect to the holder. The detection unit detects a load index value that is an index of a load applied to the feeder by movement of the feeder at the time of insertion and removal of the feeder into and from the holder by the insertion and removal movement mechanism. The insertion and removal control unit controls the movement of the feeder at the time of insertion and removal into and from the holder by inputting at a drive signal to the insertion and removal movement mechanism based on the load index value detected by the detection unit.
