Patent number: 11071211Abstract: Provided is a method for operating an electronic component mounting system including component storages including a keeping rack, a dry box and a dryer. The method includes, after a reel of a moisture sensitive device is dispatched from a component keeping area and setup to a tape feeder is performed in an external setup area, measuring a exposure time for which the moisture sensitive device is in an atmospheric exposure state is in a reel unit, and comparing the exposure time with an exposure limit time set for the moisture sensitive device and stored in a storage. The method includes stopping using the reel of the moisture sensitive device whose exposure time exceeds the exposure limit time.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Norihisa Yamasaki, Yasuhiro Maenishi, Yuji Nakamura

Patent number: 9880548Abstract: Necessary component data indicative of the type and number of electronic components used in component mounting operation is obtained on the basis of production plan data, and mounting data in advance for each of production lots in advance. New allocation processing for allocating an electronic component necessary for production execution of a new production lot to be newly produced on an electronic component mounting line for the new production lot on the basis of the necessary unit data is executed, and component reservation processing for registering the allocation result in question as the inventory data is conducted by a unit reservation unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuhiro Maenishi, Norihisa Yamasaki, Yuji Nakamura

Patent number: 9781837Abstract: An electronic component mounting system stores: manufacturing plan data for each manufacturing lot; unit management data including use permission information indicating a use permission status of an equipment unit; and inventory data indicating a stock status of the equipment units. In a unit reservation processing, new allocation processing is performed for allocating an equipment unit necessary for manufacture of a new manufacturing lot to an equipment unit for a new manufacturing lot, and an allocation result is registered. The system determines whether an equipment unit of an allocation subject in the new allocation processing can be allocated to an equipment unit for the new manufacturing lot by referring to use permission information of the equipment unit, and if the equipment unit is determined as being usable, the unit reservation processing is performed.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuhiro Maenishi, Norihisa Yamasaki, Yuji Nakamura

Publication number: 20160086790Abstract: A component preparation instruction system performs a component preparation instruction for preparing a reel member to be supplied to a component mounting line in an off-line set-up area set outside the component mounting line, in a component mounting system. The component preparation instruction system includes a management section that manages production data including information about the reel members and information about the component mounters to which the reel members is attached, a reading section that reads reel information relating to the reel members, a collating section that collates the reel information read by the reading section with the information about the reel members included in the production data, and an output section that outputs attachment position information for a matching reel member, including information about at least one component mounter to which the matching reel member is to be attached.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2015Publication date: March 24, 2016Inventors: Yasuhiro MAENISHI, Atsuto SHIMADA, Chikashi KONISHI, Norihisa YAMASAKI
