Abstract

The management device includes a management control section configured to set attachment position setting information including an attachment position of a feeder in a tendency such that the feeder is to be replaced in association with production switching to be attached to an attachment portion closer to a storage section based on production plan information including multiple pieces of mounting condition information.

Claims (25)

1. A management device that is used in a mounting system including a mounting device including: a mounting section configured to mount a component on a mounting target; a supply section having an attachment portion to which at least one feeder holding the component is attached, and a mounting control section configured to cause the mounting section to pick up the component from the feeder based on mounting condition information, and a moving work device including a movement control section configured to move the feeder to and from a storage section so as to recover the feeder from the supply section or provide the feeder to the supply section, the management device comprising:

a management control section configured to

acquire production plan information,

extract a feeder to be replaced in a setup changing operation of each mounting job based on the acquired production plan information,

set attachment position setting information, including an attachment position of the feeder, based on the production plan information, including multiple pieces of the mounting condition information, in a tendency such that the feeder to be replaced is attached to an attachment portion that is closer to the storage section,

change the attachment position of the feeder to reduce replacement and movement of the feeder in each mounting job,

acquire a pickup order and a disposition order in which a shortest unit processing time is taken when each mounting job is executed,

determine the attachment position when the unit processing time is within an allowable range, and

store the determined attachment position.

2. The management device according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting system has the supply section managed in a unit of a module including multiple attachment portions, and

the management control section sets the attachment position setting information in a tendency for the feeder to be replaced in association with the production switching to be attached to the attachment portion of the module closer to the storage section.

3. The management device according to claim 1 , wherein

the management control section sets the pickup order in a tendency for the component to be picked up earlier from the feeder to be replaced in association with at least the production switching in a final mounting process of mounting the component on the last mounting target in production.

4. A mounting system comprising:

a mounting device including a mounting section configured to mount a component on a mounting target, a supply section having an attachment portion to which a feeder holding the component is attached, and a mounting control section configured to cause the mounting section to pick up the component from the feeder based on mounting condition information;

a moving work device including a movement control section configured to recover the feeder from the supply section or provide the feeder to the supply section and move the feeder to and from a storage section; and

the management device according to claim 1 .

5. A management method that is used in a mounting system including a mounting device including a mounting section configured to mount a component on a mounting target, a supply section having an attachment portion to which at least one feeder holding the component is attached, and a mounting control section configured to cause the mounting section to pick up the component from the feeder based on mounting condition information, and a moving work device including a movement control section configured to recover the feeder from the supply section or provide the feeder to the supply section and move the feeder to and from a storage section, the management method comprising:

acquiring production plan information;

extracting a feeder to be replaced in a setup changing operation of each mounting job based on the acquired production plan information;

setting attachment position setting information including an attachment position of the feeder, based on the production plan information, including multiple pieces of the mounting condition information, in a tendency such that the feeder to be replaced is attached to an attachment portion closer to the storage section;

changing the attachment position of the feeder to reduce replacement and movement of the feeder in each mounting job,

acquiring a pickup order and a disposition order in which a shortest unit processing time is taken when each mounting job is executed,

determining the attachment position when the unit processing time is within an allowable range, and

storing the determined attachment position.
