Abstract: A combination weighing apparatus (1) according an embodiment includes: a conveyance unit (2, 31 to 3n) that conveys articles (M) given from an outside; a plurality of weighing hoppers (61 to 6n) that temporarily store the articles (M) conveyed by the conveyance unit (2, 31 to 3n) and then discharge the articles (M) downstream; a weighing unit (71 to 7n) that weighs a weight value of the article (M) stored in each of the plurality of weighing hoppers (61 to 6n); and a control unit (20) that performs combination calculation based on a plurality of the weight values measured by the weighing unit (71 to 7n) and a target value (X) and discharges a specific article (M) selected by the combination calculation from the weighing hopper (61 to 6n), wherein the control unit (20): multiplies an average weight (m) value per unit number of articles (M) within a predetermined period by the number (C) of articles (M), calculates a multiplication result closest to the target value (X) from among results of the multiplication

Abstract: A combination weighing device includes: a storage unit that stores time-series measurement values sequentially acquired by the measurement hoppers; a time measurement unit that measures an elapsed time from a timing corresponding to supply of the products to the measurement hoppers until a timing at which the time-series measurement values enter a region considered to be stabilized when the time-series measurement values stored in the storage unit converge to the region considered to be stabilized as a stabilization time until the measurement values become stabilized; and a selection unit that acquires the stabilization times by the time measurement unit over a plurality of cycles and can select a recommended stabilization time that is the stabilization time in which a predetermined measurement accuracy can be maintained based on a standard deviation of the acquired stabilization times for the plurality of cycles.

Abstract: A management system (1) manages a production line (2) including a processing apparatus (20) and an inspection apparatus (40). The management system (1) includes: a control unit (61) that estimates a processing time at which a defective food is processed by the processing apparatus (20) based on a time at which the defective food determined as a defective product by inspection by the inspection apparatus (40) is inspected; and a storage unit (62) that stores processing information of the processing apparatus (20) related to the processing time estimated by the control unit (61) such that the processing information can be output.
