A calculation amount and calculation time for a substrate conveyance schedule are reduced. A scheduler is provided which is incorporated in a control section of a substrate processing apparatus including a plurality of substrate processing sections that process a substrate, a conveyance section that conveys the substrate, and the control section that controls the conveyance section and the substrate processing sections, and calculates a substrate conveyance schedule. The scheduler includes: a modeling section that models processing conditions, processing time and constraints of the substrate processing apparatus into nodes and edges using a graph network theory, prepares a graph network, and calculates a longest route length to each node; and a calculation section that calculates the substrate conveyance schedule based on the longest route length.

Provided is a schedule creation device for creating a conveyance schedule according to which a conveyance device conveys a product to work positions designated for each manufacturing process. Said schedule creation device sets a first score to the work positions and to a conveyance path of the conveyance device; sets a second score for products; and uses the first score and the second score to determine the product to be conveyed by the conveyance device from among products present at a plurality of work positions.

A system is configured to receive a first selection of a first object corresponding to a first portion of computer code that defines a first operation of a first industrial automation device from a library, receive a second selection of a second object corresponding to a second portion of computer code that defines a second operation of a second industrial automation device from the library, and generate an industrial automation project code file. Generating the industrial automation project code file includes modifying the first portion of computer code to enable the first industrial automation device to operate in conjunction with the second industrial automation device, modifying the second portion of computer code to enable the second industrial automation device to operate in conjunction with the first industrial automation device, and combining the modified first portion of computer code and the modified second portion of computer code.

Disclosed a method and a system for delivering management, and the method includes: monitoring a delivering information received by a manufacturing execution device according to a preset period (S11); determining whether the delivering information of the manufacturing execution device is updated (S12); if yes, sending an updated delivering information to a material controlling device (S13); performing feature content identification on the updated delivering information (S14); marking priority to the delivering information according to the identified feature content (S15); and performing delivering work according to the marked priority (S16). Monitoring a delivering information received by a manufacturing execution device according to a preset period, sending an updated delivering information to a material controlling device, performing feature content identification on the delivering information of a to be delivered product, marking a delivering priority, thus the delivering efficiency of the transportation system is improved and delivering costs are saved.

Present disclosure relates to method and synchronization system for synchronizing plurality of events associated with one or more processes in assembly line for tracing entity. Initially, information related to plurality of events associated with one or more processes from one or more devices is received, where each of the plurality of events comprises respective first timestamp. Upon receiving, the first timestamp between each of the plurality of events is synchronized by performing first level and second level synchronization. The synchronization converts first timestamp into second timestamp with respect to common reference timestamp. Further, the synchronization system may identify one or more defects based on quality value assigned to entity. Thus, the present disclosure helps the synchronization system to efficiently trace entity when a defect is identified and replaces/repairs the entity.

An operation management apparatus predicts the machining processes of one or more facilities. This operation management apparatus acquires a machining program operating on the facilities and including an execution time for each process, generates schedule data to which related information (an identifier of the process) is added, and generates, for each of the facilities, a graph (a process schedule) including a time axis and indicating a progress of the process, based on the generated schedule data.
