  • Patent number: 8306648
    Abstract: A process control device includes a tracking controller receiving event information indicating that a product pass a predetermined location is received; a conductor unit for determining a corresponding process based on the event information; and a work instruction unit for issuing a work instruction for the product in the production line in response to the request from the conductor unit. The device further includes a work instruction past record control unit for controlling past record of the work instructions in response to an issue of the work instruction; a work instruction sequence order control unit for controlling a sequence order of the work instructions; and a work instruction sequence order storage for storing information of the sequence order of the work instructions to control the information of the sequence order of the work instructions in addition to the current location information of the product.

  • Patent number: 7942322
    Abstract: A work instruction management device includes a unit that obtains information stored in a radio frequency IC tag and information on a radio frequency IC tag reader, and stores the information in a memory. A tracking support unit obtains product information by matching the stored information with a first table, specifies a manufacturing process by matching the tag reader information with a second table, and stores the obtained information in the memory. Another unit specifies a work instruction sheet for the product manufacturing process by matching the product and process information with a third table, generates work instruction sheet data by setting product color information included in the product information for a background or font color of the work instruction sheet, and stores the data in the memory. A work instruction support unit performs processing for outputting the work instruction sheet data to an output interface.

  • Patent number: 7092851
    Abstract: The invention provides an information management technology which evaluates environmental load information of a product. A system comprises a parts construction database which stores parts numbers, type information and relation information thereof, an environmental load information database which stores environmental load information of the parts, an evaluation rule storage unit which stores an evaluation rule of the environmental load, an evaluation processing unit which extracts the environmental load information of type number information associated with one parts number and judges whether or not corresponding type number information can be an evaluation object type number of the environmental load, a parts totalization processing unit which extracts the environmental load information, totalizes the environmental load information for each master parts or for each product and generates total information of the environmental load information, and an output processing unit which outputs total information.
