Article transfer system
An article transfer system that allows the operator to easily notice that abnormality occurs in an abnormality detecting sensor for detecting abnormality and perform remedial work is provided. The article transfer system is adapted to display information indicating that the abnormality occurs on a display device as abnormality occurrence information, receive input of a result of determination by the operator on whether or not the abnormality indicated by the abnormality occurrence information occurs, and display information indicating that the detecting information received from the abnormality detecting sensor is incorrect on the display device when the operator inputs the result of determination that the abnormality indicated by the abnormality occurrence information does not occur with the abnormality detecting sensor detecting the abnormality.
1. An article transfer system comprising:
an article transporting device for transporting an article;
an abnormality detecting sensor for detecting abnormality of the article transporting device or a target point to which the article is transferred by the article transporting device;
an abnormality determination section for determining whether or not any abnormality occurs based on detecting information received from the abnormality detecting sensor;
an input device for receiving input of a result of determination by the operator on whether or not the abnormality indicated by abnormality occurrence information displayed on a display device occurs; and
a display control section for displaying information indicating that the abnormality occurs on the display device as the abnormality occurrence information when the abnormality detection section determines that the abnormality occurs, the display control section displaying information indicating that the detecting information received from the abnormality detecting sensor is incorrect on the display device when the operator inputs the result of determination through the input device that the abnormality indicated by the abnormality occurrence information does not occur with the abnormality detecting sensor detecting the abnormality.
2. The article transfer system as defined in claim 1 , wherein the display control section displays on the display device an image allowing the operator to visually confirm a position where the abnormality detecting sensor is mounted along with the information indicating that the detecting information received from the abnormality detecting sensor is incorrect when the operator inputs the result of determination through the input device that the abnormality indicated by the abnormality occurrence information does not occur with the abnormality detecting sensor detecting the abnormality.
3. The article transfer system as defined in claim 1 , wherein the display control section displays information for eliminating the abnormality indicated by the abnormality occurrence information on the display device when the abnormality detecting sensor detects the abnormality and before the operator inputs the result of determination through the input device that the abnormality indicated by the abnormality occurrence information does not occur.
4. The article transfer system as defined in claim 2 , wherein the display control section displays information for eliminating the abnormality indicated by the abnormality occurrence information on the display device when the abnormality detecting sensor detects the abnormality and before the operator inputs the result of determination through the input device that the abnormality indicated by the abnormality occurrence information does not occur.
5. The article transfer system as defined in claim 1 , wherein the input device is used to input information relating to the abnormality indicated by the abnormality occurrence information as textual information, and
wherein the display control section stores the textual information inputted through the input device as associated with the abnormality occurrence information as shared textual information, and display the shared textual information that has been stored as related with the abnormality occurrence information.
6. The article transfer system as defined in claim 2 , wherein the input device is used to input information relating to the abnormality indicated by the abnormality occurrence information as textual information, and
wherein the display control section stores the textual information inputted through the input device as associated with the abnormality occurrence information as shared textual information, and display the shared textual information that has been stored as related with the abnormality occurrence information.
7. The article transfer system as defined in claim 3 , wherein the input device is used to input information relating to the abnormality indicated by the abnormality occurrence information as textual information, and
wherein the display control section stores the textual information inputted through the input device as associated with the abnormality occurrence information as shared textual information, and display the shared textual information that has been stored as related with the abnormality occurrence information.
8. The article transfer system as defined in claim 4 , wherein the input device is used to input information relating to the abnormality indicated by the abnormality occurrence information as textual information, and
wherein the display control section stores the textual information inputted through the input device as associated with the abnormality occurrence information as shared textual information, and display the shared textual information that has been stored as related with the abnormality occurrence information.
