Kenjirou Morimoto has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10509398
    Abstract: A manufacturing management apparatus includes an operation information acquisition unit, a trace information acquisition unit, a storage unit, a manufacturing device determination unit, and a transfer destination indication unit. The storage unit stores inspection information on each article in association with the trace information. The manufacturing device determination unit creates combinations of the manufacturing devices that can perform manufacturing processes in consideration of operation information and trace information, determines a quality index from the inspection information for each of the created combinations, and determines, based on the quality index determined for each of the combinations, a combination of the manufacturing devices to be used. A transfer destination indication unit indicates a transfer destination of a part to a transfer device based on the determined combination of the manufacturing devices.
