Production system and program switching method used in the same
A production system acquires a program list on the basis of Kanban information and switches programs of production facilities and a program switching method used in the production system are disclosed. The production system includes: program list acquisition means for acquiring a product name from a Kanban information management table and acquiring a program list corresponding to a combination of the acquired product name and a production line name from a product information management table; and program switching means for searching for a corresponding program from a program storage unit on the basis of the program list acquired by the program list acquisition means, transmitting the searched program to each production facility of a plurality of production lines, and switching the program.
1. A production system that includes a plurality of production lines with different structures and can produce products with the same type of board using the plurality of production lines, each production line including a plurality of production facilities, the production system comprising:
a program storage device that stores at least one program which is executed by each production facility to produce the products;
a readable display board information management table in which readable display board information having a readable display board name and a product name recorded therein is registered;
a product information management table in which a program list is stored as a database for each combination of the product name and a production line name; and
processing circuitry configured to:
acquire the product name from the readable display board information management table and acquire a program list corresponding to the combination of the acquired product name and the production line name from the product information management table; and
search for a corresponding program from the program storage device based on the acquired program list, transmit the searched program to each production facility of the plurality of production lines, and switch a preexisting program of each production facility of the plurality of production lines with the searched program.
2. The production system according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of readable display board information items are generated and provided to each of the production lines, in order to produce the same product with the plurality of production lines.
3. The production system according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the programs are collectively transmitted and switched based on the acquired program list.
4. The production system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of programs include work include data related to an operation to mount a component on a printed circuit board.
5. A program switching method used in a production system that includes a plurality of production lines with different structures and can produce products with the same type of board using the plurality of production lines, each production line including a plurality of production facilities, comprising:
storing at least one program which is executed by each production facility to produce the products;
registering readable display board information having a readable display board name and a product name recorded therein;
creating a database of a program list, which is executed by each production facility forming the plurality of production lines, for each combination of the product name and a production line name;
acquiring a program list corresponding to a combination of the product name acquired from the readable display board information and the production line name based on the combination of the product name and the production line name; and
searching for a corresponding program based on the acquired program list, transmitting the searched program to each production facility of the plurality of production lines, and switching a preexisting program of each production facility of the plurality of production lines with the searched program.
6. The program switching method according to claim 5 , wherein a plurality of the programs are collectively transmitted and switched based on the acquired program list.
7. The program switching method according to claim 5 ,
wherein a plurality of readable display board information items are generated and provided to each of the production lines, in order to produce the same product with the plurality of production lines.
8. The program switching method according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of programs include work include data related to an operation to mount a component on a printed circuit board.
