Description

The present invention relates to a production facility information management system, and more particularly to a production facility information management system suitable for efficiently performing production facility management in the manufacturing industry.

In the manufacturing industry including food, various production facilities are used to make products. These production facilities include mechanical facilities and control facilities. In order to ensure stable operation and stable production, these production facilities must be properly maintained and managed. That is, proper maintenance activities are important.

Such maintenance activities have become obsolete due to short-term activities such as inspections, repairs, and recovery of operating facilities, and long-term use, and deterioration of functions is difficult due to inspections and repairs. There are long-term activities such as renewing production facilities. Generally, these maintenance activities are performed on the basis of maintenance data (information) such as inspection cycle management data for periodic inspections and failure occurrence analysis data based on inspection results. In order to carry out maintenance activities for production facilities and the like, there are also cases in which failure history, inspection history, etc. are conventionally stored and managed as maintenance data, and maintenance information is managed by building a database using a computer. For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a technique that enables optimum maintenance activities by searching maintenance data stored in a database.
JP 2004-258893 A

However, the conventional production facility maintenance management system uses maintenance data based on the equipment and parts of the production facility to manage the production facility data required in the short or long term. There was a lack of mechanisms to manage for effective use. That is, not only the production equipment is maintained based on the equipment and parts of the equipment, but also the production equipment moves the installation location of the production equipment in accordance with the change of the production product or the increase or decrease of the production capacity. Or when diverting from the conventional production product to the production equipment of other production products, it is necessary to efficiently grasp the history of the equipment. In addition, the same kind of equipment may be used in the same or different factories for the production equipment of the factory. In addition, the same kind of equipment may be installed in a plurality of facilities. These facilities and devices can be associated with each other on the basis of equipment and parts. However, it is necessary that these data be complete, and for that purpose, it is necessary to provide a dedicated person for the data. If the person in charge is different or the organization is different even if it is not a full-time person, the information will not be used as comprehensive management data because the equipment name and contents will differ, so optimal maintenance activities There was a problem that could not be implemented.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and when carrying out maintenance activities for production facilities, all maintenance activities are optimally performed, and maintenance personnel accumulate data through daily activities. It is an object of the present invention to provide a maintenance information management system that can share information regardless of long-term or short-term maintenance activities.

The present invention for solving these problems is a plurality of databases used when maintaining production equipment, and includes a subsystem for equipment management information of a production equipment to be managed, and a sub-system for inspection and repair information. System and spare parts management information subsystem, each subsystem comprising a plurality of databases storing each information for each production facility and a plurality of computers managing each database, each computer being a network Is a production facility information management system characterized in that it is managed based on the name of the facility.

Furthermore, in addition to the production facility information management system, the database constructed for each production facility has a facility list screen as a start screen of the facility management information subsystem, and the name of the facility is the common name of the production site and the database name. Two types of official names that are not essential items are used as search information, and when using a database at the production site, the two types of names are used as search information, and a database of production facilities outside the production site is searched via the network. In some cases, the official name can be searched as search information, so that a production facility information management system that is easy to use at the production site can be obtained.

In addition, the production facility information management system that is easy to use at the production site can be selected to update, relocate, or abolish the database constructed for each production facility on the facility detail screen. The database for each production facility that has been constructed will be moved as a database of the equipment management information subsystem and inspection and repair information subsystem and spare parts management information subsystem of the production equipment to be relocated. It can be built in the database of the production facility of the added relocation destination.

According to the present invention, a maintenance person can easily accumulate data from the viewpoint of the person in charge through daily maintenance activities. In addition, since the data can be moved as aggregate data related to the relocation when the facilities are relocated, the past information can be continuously utilized at the relocation destination. Since data can be stored from the perspective of these persons in charge, data can be stored without using a full-time staff and used for maintenance activities.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of a production facility information management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of a production facility information management system according to an embodiment of the present invention for explaining FIG. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing transition of one embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of an example showing a concept of data for constructing a production facility database.

The production facility information management system of this embodiment is performed using a personal computer connected to an in-house intranet. The system consists of an equipment management subsystem, a repair / inspection subsystem, and a spare parts management subsystem. Each subsystem has an input screen, a list display screen, etc., and can be output or printed as a file as needed. You can be out. Here, it will be explained that the data of this system can be accumulated from the viewpoint of the person in charge. Special items such as name, model, manufacturer, date of installation, installation location, etc. required for the facility management system can be freely described. In particular, the name is a key item both when inputting this data and when performing a search, but the name of the manufacturer is not necessarily called the work site in many cases.

In other words, there are cases where the name at the time of installation of the equipment is used as it is after the device has been updated, or the long name uses a simplified name. .
Since these are sufficiently distinguished at the work site and the apparatus is specified, they are commonly called production site names. The important thing is that all necessary data can be collected. Next, as necessary data, data about the modification can be constructed as an attached file. If the machine is remodeled at the production site, the information is not left in the machine maker, and preparations may not be made in advance when replacing parts, leading to a reduction in the operating rate of the equipment. At the time of remodeling and repair, at the same time as the remodeling item, a drawing of the remodeled part is given. pdf. It is possible to prepare parts in advance by saving the electronic data.

As in the prior art, by inputting the previous inspection execution date and the next inspection execution scheduled date and time, the inspection schedule for this month, the inspection schedule for this week, and the like can be systematically performed.

Next, by selecting an item to be transferred on the equipment detail screen, the management data of the equipment can be moved to another factory or another line as it is together with the date and reason for the transfer. The facility receiving side can refer to the past history as to where the relocated facility was relocated from for what reason or the situation before relocation. Since the management of the relocation destination equipment will be taken over by the person in charge of the relocation destination, the so-called name of the production site can be newly selected by the relocation destination.
Further, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of a production facility information management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Starting from the company master, it is built up to the line master, and the person in charge can manage and inspect equipment and input / output spare parts from each device. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the outline of the production facility information management system is provided with a facility detail screen 51 in a database for each company, business office (factory), room (block), line or device. Since the person in charge can fix the start screen of the line or the apparatus, the person in charge can launch the detailed screen of the apparatus he / she is in charge of when necessary. In the equipment detail screen 51, in addition to equipment management information, inspection / repair information, and spare part information, a transfer history can be created when moving equipment.
The person in charge usually inputs the inspection plan, repair status, etc., and setting the input screen as the start screen improves the efficiency of the person in charge. The equipment detail screen 51 is designed so that the equipment manager can select the necessary screen by fixing it to the input screen for inputting the information he / she is responsible for most. That is, on the one screen of the facility management information, it is possible to attach a modification drawing or a recorded photograph including an improvement / modification item. On the second screen of the inspection / repair screen, a schedule for inspection / replacement can be entered or confirmed. Similarly, on the spare part management screen 3, the inventory status and required number of parts can be input or confirmed. In the relocation history screen 4, information on facilities before relocation can be obtained. These can be set according to the frequency of the person in charge, and the system can be used more easily. In addition to the date and content of the inspection / repair information from the equipment detail screen 51, if the machine or device is modified, the part information of the modified part is electronic information (.JPG, GIF) By registering in the database as a file, parts can be arranged based on the attached parts drawings at the next maintenance.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the transition of one embodiment according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the transition of the equipment management subsystem, the repair / inspection subsystem, and the spare parts management subsystem is shown, and the necessary information is File output, printing can be used as paper information.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of an example showing a concept of data for constructing a production facility database. For example, in the case of a line with dressing, the ingredients are stirred with a mixer, supplied to the hopper of the filling machine, filled and capped, packed in cardboard boxes after shrink wrapping, stacked on a pallet and transported to the product warehouse. Line configuration. Considering a more detailed configuration, a plurality of pumps, tanks, and pipes are raised as equipment in the facility for stirring in the mixer. In addition, if the date is stamped on the shrink wrapping and the cardboard box for transportation is also stamped, setting the equipment detail screen for each device or machine makes it very cumbersome and inefficient. Therefore, the system can select the line database 55 or the apparatus database 56 as required. (See Figure 4)
