Publication number: 20240077842Abstract: An adjustment support system includes a controller and a storage, in which the storage holds production line model data related to a model of one or more production facilities in a cyberspace of a production line and actual machine data obtained by actually measuring one or more production facilities disposed in an actual space of the production line, the controller calculates a difference between the production line model data and the actual machine data, upon determination that the difference exists on a basis of a result of calculating the difference, the controller creates one or more adjustment plans each targeting at least one of the model of the one or more production facilities in the cyberspace or the one or more production facilities disposed in the actual space, and the controller outputs the one or more adjustment plans having been created.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Reiko INOUE, Daiki KAJITA, Takahiro NAKANO

Publication number: 20230342007Abstract: At least one processor of a display control device displays at least one object on a display screen. The at least one processor determines, when the at least one object is displayed, whether a predetermined time period has elapsed. The at least one processor changes, when it is determined that the predetermined time period has elapsed, at least one of a display mode or a display position of the at least one object.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2021Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Naoko TAKUBO, Suehyun KIM, Reiko INOUE

Patent number: 10162909Abstract: In a three-dimensional model design assistance system in which design rules are registered in advance, it is difficult to manually input all of an enormous number of device placement rules including the distances and directions between respective devices in a design. Information relating to the relative distances and relative directions between respective devices included in performance CAD data is extracted. With respect to each of the extracted relative distances and relative directions in a plurality of cases, a correlation with a performance requirement specification value, and a placement priority are calculated and held as device placement rules. At design time, requirement specifications are inputted, accessory devices are determined, and thereafter the devices are placed according to placement priorities on CAD on the basis of the device placement rules.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2014Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Reiko Inoue, Takaharu Matsui, Kenji Okuda

Patent number: 10120960Abstract: A device arrangement rule generation unit generates device arrangement rules each including a past installation space of devices and relative direction information indicating a relative direction between devices that were arranged in the past installation space. An input unit inputs information on a new installation space and devices to be arranged in the new installation space. A device arrangement rule extraction unit extracts device arrangement rules each including the devices to be arranged in the new installation space input by the input unit. A device arrangement calculation unit calculates an arrangement position of the devices to be arranged in the new installation space based on relative direction information included in one of the device arrangement rules extracted by the device arrangement rule extraction unit and based on dimensions of the devices to be arranged in the new installation space input by the input unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2015Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Reiko Inoue, Takaharu Matsui, Shinji Tanaka, Kenji Kondo

Patent number: 9581992Abstract: In a conventional CAM apparatus, cutting regions and a tool axis angle by which the cutting time is minimized cannot be automatically set for a finish shape having a free formed surface shape. Accordingly, the CAM apparatus generates quadrangle-shaped patterns of cutting regions using coordinate data of a finish shape and an initial shape. Triangle-shaped cutting regions are generated for concave-convex faces of the finish shape. For cutting regions generated by subtraction by boolean operation with a subtract shape calculated by subtraction by boolean operation between the initial shape and the finish shape, the tool axis angle is set so that the tool does not interfere and the face is maximized. For other regions, the tool axis is set so as to satisfy a remainder standard and to minimize a tool path length.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2013Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Takahiro Nakano, Hiroshi Arai, Reiko Inoue, Daisuke Tsutsumi, Daisuke Igarashi, Masakazu Okubo
