A manufacturing process management system includes: a display circuit; and a processor configured to: display, on the display circuit, a graph which represents an elapsed time from a start to a finish of each of a plurality of manufacturing processes through which a product is manufactured, based on information of starting times and finishing times of the manufacturing processes, in a state where the plurality of manufacturing processes are divided into each of manufacturing processes in an execution order and time axes are aligned in a same direction; specify, from among captured images of the plurality of manufacturing processes which are stored in a storage, a captured image which corresponds to the manufacturing process for a designated position on the displayed graph; and display the specified captured image on the display circuit.

A method and system for trend dynamic sensor imaging is described herein. The method includes receiving, from a plurality of sensors, a plurality of data sets, and comparing the plurality of data sets to reference data to generate, for each of the plurality of sensors, one or more corresponding comparison values. The method further includes transforming, using the one or more corresponding comparison values for each of the plurality of sensors, the plurality of data sets to have a common scale regardless of corresponding physical processes, and causing anomalies in one or more physical processes to be displayed via a client device by plotting the transformed plurality of data sets according to the common scale.

The present invention relates in general to systems and methods for automating various aspects of defect detection, such as surface anomaly and foreign object and debris detection in workpieces fabricated from metallic or non-metallic materials.

In order to easily identify a specimen to be extracted because, for example, an item remains uninspected, from a rack 31 collected in a storage part 13 or the rack 31 taken out from the storage part, a camera of a smart device takes an image of the rack; and a calculation unit included in the smart device provides a mark, by AR technology, at the position of a specimen to be extracted. For example, the item that remains uninspected is identified on the basis of information about a combination of a rack ID and an identifier and information, which is received from an operation unit about specimens at respective positions. Thus, irrespective of a place or whether the specimen to be extracted is inside or outside of the device, the specimen to be extracted can be reliably specified from a plurality of specimen containers provided on a holder.

A work management system (1) includes: an image capturing device (20) worn by a worker; and a server device (60). The image capturing device (20) includes: an image capturing section (21) for capturing an image of a work range of the worker; and a communication section (30) for transmitting, to the server device (60), at least one of (i) the image captured by the image capturing section (21) and (ii) generated information generated in accordance with the image. The server device (60) includes a control section (70) for managing the at least one of the image and the generated information which one is received from the communication section.

Systems and methods for controlling chlorinators for pools and spas are provided. A controller communicates with a processor positioned within a replaceable cell cartridge of a chlorinator, to allow for remote control and diagnosis of the chlorinator and/or cell cartridge. The cell cartridge stores, in non-volatile memory on board the cartridge, one or more parameters associated with the cartridge. The controller can obtain this information from the processor of the cell cartridge, and can use same to configure operation of the chlorinator. Information relating to remaining cell life can be updated by the controller and stored in the non-volatile memory of the cell cartridge. Electrical and software-based mechanisms are provided for ensuring operation of only compatible cell cartridges with the chlorinator. A system for remotely diagnosing errors associated with the chlorinator is also provided.
