Abstract: The component storehouse storing the tray in the tray storage rack (tray storage part) is notified of the magazine preparation command indicating the component to be held in the slot of the magazine. In response to this, the component storehouse includes the working robot (work implementation part) that conducts a predetermined work including the tray extraction work, the tray placement work, and the pallet insertion work. The working robot prepares the magazine where the component indicated by the magazine preparation command is held in the slot. In this way, it becomes possible to prepare the magazine automatically where the pallet is inserted in the slot with the tray housing the component placed on the pallet, thereby allowing manpower-saving in component replenishment.

Abstract: An automatic feeder arrangement support system is in a component mounting line including a component mounting device that includes a component supply device and a mounting head configured to pick up components from component supply tapes and mount the components on a substrate. The automatic feeder arrangement support system includes a component shortage time calculation section and a component shortage detection section. The component shortage time calculation section is configured to calculate component shortage time data based on production plan data and substrate data related to substrate. The component shortage detection section is configured to perform a simulation and detect whether component shortage occurs or not based on the component shortage time data and workable time data for a replenishment work of manual feeders.
