  • Patent number: 11774952
    Abstract: A management apparatus manages works to supply components to component mounting devices in a component mounting line. The management apparatus includes a component remaining number information acquisition portion that acquires, from each of the component mounting devices, a remaining number of components stored in the component mounting device, a worker information storage portion that stores worker information including a working range of each of workers in the component mounting line, a work sequence decision portion that generates work sequence information indicating a work sequence of component supply works for each of the workers based on the worker information and component remaining number information about a plurality of components within a predetermined period of time, and an information transmission portion that transmits the work sequence information to the workers who should perform the works.

  • Patent number: 5617564
    Abstract: A data processing method and apparatus are disclosed in which the class definition is first read from the class definition file to generate the structure and procedure definitions in memory. The pre-existence of a file storing the structure definition is then determined. If the file already exists, the structure definition in the memory is compared with the structure definition previously stored to the file to determine whether there is a meaningful difference between the two. If the file does not exist, or if there is a meaningful difference, the structure definition in memory is written to a newly created file or to the existing file. This same operation is executed for the procedure definitions.
