  • Patent number: 11645089
    Abstract: A network system includes at least one transmission path and a plurality of terminal devices each connected to the transmission path. Each of the terminal devices includes a transceiver, a startup processing unit, and a switching unit. The transceiver is configured to operate either one of a first standby unit and a second standby unit according to a switching instruction. The switching unit is configured to output the switching instruction to the transceiver to operate the second standby unit when a transmission path empty period lasts for a predetermined preparation time or more after a non-designation period has lasted for a predetermined operation determination time or more.

  • Publication number: 20210216931
    Abstract: The time required to modify order allocation rules is shortened in a production planning system. A performance rule is generated, in which a manufacturing condition is set as the input and a manufacturing facility is set as the output, based on allocation performance data representing a performance of allocating the manufacturing facility for the manufacturing condition. A comparison table is generated representing a difference between the performance rule and an existing rule in which the manufacturing condition is set as the input and the manufacturing facility is set as the output. A modification rule is generated in which the existing rule is modified according to a user operation on the comparison table; and an evaluation index is calculated for production plan data corresponding to each of the existing rule and the modification rule. The rule modification unit generates the comparison table including a modification plan for the existing rule.
