DATA VISUALIZATION AND ACCUMULATION DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING STEPS IN CONTINUOUS PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

A visualization device capable of visualizing the process flow on entire multiple item continuous processing system on a time series basis and investigating the cause of a system loss. A visualization device for managing an operating state in a first processing step to which a step loss retroacts or swears back in a multiple item continuous processing process in which a batch processing is performed item by item, wherein each of icons indicating various kinds of items, shows the progress of the operation in the processing step sequentially item by item on a time series basis in a matrix of cells wherein a vertical length of the matrix is divided by cells of operating hours and rows of the respective operating hours are partitioned by each one batch processing time of the first processing step. The data is accumulated in the matrix and the data is utilized while being visualized.

主权项

1. A data visualization and accumulation device for controlling steps in a continuous processing system comprising at least a step of storing item by item each of multiple items to be processed per one batch unit, a step of feeding the items of one batch unit in turn from the store lane into a first step, a step of sorting and charging the items to be processed per one batch unit from the first step into a second step, which comprises a time matrix of multiple cells arranged in a plane for visualization and accumulation of the process data in the first step, wherein either one of a horizontal or vertical length of the matrix is divided by a time span corresponding to or based on one batch time of the first step while the other length of the matrix is divided by one unit of the operation time,
whereby depending on the signal per one batch unit based on a kind of and an amount of items to be processed at the storing step, each of the cells in the matrix is indicated item by item on a time series basis according to the order of charging items into the first processing step by icons corresponding to the item to be processed, resulting in accumulation of progress of one batch order to be processed in the first step through a whole operation time and visualization of the progress item by item on a time series basis in the first step.
