Patent number: 11778797Abstract: In a component replenishment management system, a component supply monitoring unit estimates replenishable time, which represents time until component replenishment work becomes possible, for each of component supply devices. A work determination unit determines whether or not the component replenishment work can be actually performed at a timing at which replenishment component type information is acquired by an external input and output unit. In a case where the work determination unit determines that the component replenishment work cannot be performed, a work guidance unit generates performing process guidance information. The performing process guidance information is information for guiding a performing process based on the replenishable time of the component replenishment work.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2018Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: YAMAHA HATSUDOKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yoichi Matsushita
