Patent number: 7826913Abstract: A sheet metal factory processing system includes a production manager which generates a processing schedule for multiple units each including at least one material sheet, to manage the processing schedule on a per-unit basis. The processing schedule is generated based on sheet processing data obtained by allocating parts to be blanked from the material sheets according to a manufacturing designation. The sheet metal factory processing system also includes a sheet metal factory processing installation which is connected to the production manager through a communication network. The sheet metal factory processing installation receives the generated processing schedule from the production manager and executes the received processing schedule.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2007Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Amada Company, LimitedInventors: Masato Kanazawa, Kaoru Nakamura

Patent number: 7020627Abstract: A plurality of orderers with their own code systems procures materials from companies (supply companies) with which the orderers have business relations. In this material procurement system, a name register master is provided for making correspondence between goods name codes provided by each of the supply companies and material codes of the orderers. When necessary materials are procured from the supply company, the orderer goods name codes are used for specifying the materials. Further, an order processor is provided. The order processor refers to the name register master, and combines orders of the materials with a same orderer goods name, if the same goods name of the supply company is in the name register master. The order processor also divides the orders and orders to another company by referring to the name register master, if the materials in a quantity beyond a predetermined number must be ordered.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2000Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Mitsuru Takeuchi, Kazuhisa Masimo, Kaoru Nakamura, Miho Murano, Norihiko Iio, Hidenori Akita
