  • Patent number: 11803795
    Abstract: A work assist device includes a work burden degree evaluation unit, an improvement measures storage, a simulation unit, and an improvement measures determination unit. The work burden degree evaluation unit evaluates a work burden degree indicating a degree of burden imposed on an operator due to work from operator information and production facility information. The operator information is information related to the operator performing the work in cooperation with a production facility. The improvement measures storage stores improvement measures for improving the work burden degree. The simulation unit performs simulation of estimating an estimated improvement effect indicating a degree of improvement of the work burden degree when the improvement measures are applied. The improvement measures determination unit determines application improvement measures to be applied to at least one of the operator and the production facility from the improvement measures, based on the estimated improvement effect.

  • Patent number: 9646272
    Abstract: A technique which comprehensively optimize passengers' convenience and a power consumption amount. An operation schedule evaluation apparatus has a passenger flow calculator and a power consumption amount calculator. The passenger flow calculator creates passenger flow information related to a passenger flow generated by transportation of a train, based on operation schedule information of each train and passenger information related to an entry and an exit of a passenger at a station. The power consumption amount calculator calculates the number of passengers or a car occupancy of each train based on the passenger flow information created by the passenger flow calculator, the operation schedule information and car information of each train, and calculates a power consumption amount of each train per unit time which reflects car weight corresponding to the number of passengers or the car occupancy.
