Development of a production management system for automated and manual process mixed manufacturing

摘要

In batch plants of process industries such as medicines, fine chemicals, and foods, it is necessary to have functions executed by computers and operators, such as cooperative management of the plant computers, management of manual operations, and management of dynamic changes for equipment control. To provide such functionality, this report presents twenty-five recipe elements, such as a start element for a control computer program, and a binder for the work procedure, which can be used in a library. Then the report shows the checking function of the master table and its lexicons. Validities of the recipe element are shown through an application in two plant types.
