Provided is a method for manufacturing a conveyance device capable of accurately completing the conveyance device imagined by a customer in a relatively short time. In a method for manufacturing a conveyance device, one or a plurality of operation confirmation devices that visually confirms an operation of the conveyance device is used, the method includes exhibiting a desired operation of the conveyance device in a video by the operation confirmation device and confirming a required operation of the conveyance device in a specification confirmation step, inputting data for realizing the required operation or realizing an operation similar to the required operation to the operation confirmation device, and exhibiting the operation of the conveyance device in a video based on the data that has been input in a virtual operation confirmation step, and inputting the data to an actual individual controller of the conveyance unit in a data input step.

An industrial control design and testing system supports emulation of a 2D representation of control system wiring between an industrial controller and field hardware. The design and testing system can simulate wiring diagrams to virtually confirm connectivity between the controller and the I/O devices in the field. This approach can also confirm wiring connections that do not pass through the controller, including emergency stop pushbuttons or other electrical connections that do not feed back into the controller.

An information processing device is configured to virtually execute motion of a device including a plurality of apparatuses. The information processing device includes a display portion and a control portion. The control portion is configured to extract an apparatus to be virtually moved, from the apparatuses on a basis of movement ranges of the apparatuses and display the apparatus on the display portion, as a check object.

A press working simulator according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a robot program storage section that stores a robot program that instructs a robot how to move; a press program storage section that stores a press program that instructs a press machine how to move; a profile data setting section that causes the press program storage section to store a press program according to profile data that records what position a die is in at each time point when the press machine is actually moved; a model placing section that places three-dimensional models of a workpiece, the robot, and the press machine in a virtual space; a press movement processing section that causes the three-dimensional model of the press machine to move according to the press program; and a robot movement processing section that causes the three-dimensional model of the robot to move according to the robot program.

An information processing apparatus includes a first emulator that estimates a behavior of a device for driving a first control target that moves on a first target trajectory and a second emulator that estimates a behavior of a device for driving a second control target that moves on a second target trajectory. A visualization module generates drawing data for visualizing and drawing movement of the first control target and movement of the second control target in a three-dimensional virtual space by using a first command value and a second command value. The first and second emulators calculate the first command value and the second command value that control first and second driving devices in each control cycle according to a calculation command respectively. The calculation command instructs to calculate the command value for setting a movement amount in each control cycle variable.

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 system and method for generating a behavior model for simulating an automation system, wherein signal flows between components of the automation system are simulated. The system comprises a CAD application for developing CAD drawings of the components of the automation system, where the CAD application comprises first modules for defining a geometric scope of application for the data interfaces of the components, second modules for defining at least one signal transmission prerequisite, which marks at least one relative position of two scopes of application relative to each other, at which signal transmission is possible between associated data interfaces, third modules for verifying the compatibility of the data interfaces at which the signal transmission prerequisite is met, and fourth modules for generating the behavior model such that a signal flow between the data interfaces at which the signal transmission prerequisite and compatibility are met is modeled in the simulation.
