摘要： A cell control apparatus comprises an operation information acquisition unit which acquires operation information of manufacturing machine, a failure prediction unit which predicts a failure time of the manufacturing machine based on the operation information of the manufacturing machine, and a replacement time acquisition unit which acquires a replacement time of the component from a component management apparatus. When the failure time is earlier than the replacement time, the cell control apparatus performs a control for reducing an operation load of the manufacturing machine on which a failure of the component is predicted so that the failure time is later than the replacement time.

摘要： An improved pharmaceutical vial processing system and method groups vials on an automated dispensing line according to diverting needs. The improved pharmaceutical vial processing system and method allows vials to travel in close groups. A diversion algorithm determines when gaps between vials are needed to reduce the likelihood that a mechanical diverting device engages the wrong vial to a new location on the dispensing line. The diversion algorithm identifies each vial that needs to be diverted to a target location and employs a “neighbor analysis” to determine whether a gap between neighboring vials is needed before a vial destined for the target station encounters a diverter. Vials that are destined for locations beyond the target station remain grouped. Vials that are behind a vial destined for the target station are held to introduce a gap between the vial destined for the target station and the remaining vials.

摘要： A cluster tool may be operated on the basis of an enhanced sequencing regime in which the supply of substrates is controlled such that a planned time of maintenance is reached for two or more process chambers simultaneously. Consequently, the occurrence of non-correlated sequential down times of various process chambers may be significantly reduced, thereby enhancing throughput and availability of complex cluster tools.

摘要： In a transfer system, a storage data and a specific equipment data indicating a specific equipment are generated. When a transfer command indicates the specific equipment as one of a previous location and a subsequent location, a priority level of the transfer command is increased. A transfer command having a highest priority level is selected. When an available carrier that is not assigned with a transfer command is not accessible within a previous area in which the previous location of the transfer command selected belongs to, when the priority level of the transfer command selected has been increased, and when an alternative carrier that is assigned with the transfer command and is transferring without carrying the cassette is accessible within the previous area, the transfer command selected is assigned to the alternative carrier.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method and molding system (1) for forming a molded plastic article by wireless control. The molding system includes a primary controller (12) that is adapted to engage in wireless communications with the carriage controller (45) of one or more self-propelled carriages (15). Each carriage (15) includes a carriage location indicator (62) that determines the location of the carriage, which is transmitted substantially continuously to the carriage controller (45), and then communicated substantially continuously and wirelessly from the carriage controller to the primary controller (12). The primary controller (12) wirelessly communicates position directives (e.g., a polymer introduction station position directive) to each carriage controller (45), which correspondingly provides operational position instructions to each carriage's respective propulsion system (30), so as to re-position at least one carriage. The primary controller also provides directives to other secondary controllers in the molding system, depending on the status of, and in particular the location of the various carriages within, the molding system. For example, with a carriage (15) positioned in the polymer introduction station (18), the primary controller (12) communicates one or more polymer introduction directives to a polymer introduction controller (68), which then provides operational polymer introduction instructions to a polymer introduction apparatus (71), such as an extruder, thus resulting in the introduction of a polymer composition into contact with the interior mold surface (27) of the mold (24), and accordingly formation of a molded article.
