    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a production system that can easily reference a video pertaining to a specific action or operation of a device. A production system (10) is provided with a log generation unit (51a), a video generation unit (51b), a recording unit (51c), and a control unit (51d). The log generation unit (51a) generates log information pertaining to an action of a device (20) implementing a process and/or log information pertaining to an operation of a worker operating the device (20). The video generation unit (51b) generates video data of an action of the device (20) and/or video data of an operation by the worker. The recording unit (51c) records the log information generated by the log generation unit (51a), in association with the video data generated by the video generation unit (51b). The control unit (51d) controls the recording unit (51c), and causes the recording unit (51c) to record the video data of a time zone in which the log information is used as a reference point, in association with the log information.

    Abstract: An article discharge system includes a placement unit in which the article group is placed, plural grippers, a movable member, a robot that moves the movable member, weight acquisition units, and a control unit. The plural grippers grip some articles with gripping member. The plural grippers are attached to the movable member. The weight acquisition units acquire weight values of the articles that each of the grippers grips. The control unit moves the movable member, brings the plural grippers closer to the placement unit, causes the plural grippers to grip some of the articles of the article group placed in the placement unit, and, based on the result of a combination calculation using the weight values of the articles that each of the grippers grips and which the weight acquisition units have acquired, causes predetermined grippers among the plural grippers to release the articles and thereby discharge the articles.
