The present invention enables displaying a Gantt chart that is capable of displaying the implementation status of a work process for each order by a display method in which visibility is not compromised even when there are many orders. A Web server (10) causes display of a Gantt chart in which a block (Bl), representing a work time (Ot) required to complete each of a plurality of work processes (Pr) for each product (Ar), is marked with a color so as to make it possible to identify an order (Or) that includes the product (Ar).

A system is provided with a group of controllers configured into a hive, wherein the hive is configured to receive control strategies and to assign a particular control strategy to a controller within the hive that is a best fit for a particular control strategy and wherein each controller communicates to a plurality of input/output (I/O) interfaces.

Disclosed is an information collection and display system in which a data generation device that generates site data and a transaction data accumulation unit that stores the site data are connected. The information collection and display system includes an association data accumulation unit that stores association data defining association of each of a plurality of pieces of information included in the site data; an association data search unit that searches for second information associated with first information included in the plurality of pieces of information, on the basis of the association data; and a user interface that displays a connection relation of the plurality of pieces of information associated by the association data. The association data search unit searches for the second information associated with the first information displayed on the user interface and displays the first information and the second information on the user interface with the connection relation of the plurality of pieces of information.

An industrial machine management system includes a maintenance-use portable terminal and a cloud server. The maintenance-use portable terminal includes a data communication unit for transmitting management information for a user, which is set in accordance with an input from the user in regard to an industrial machine to be managed. The cloud server includes a data communication unit for receiving the management information for the user transmitted by the data communication unit, and a machine information storage for storing the management information for the user received by the data communication unit in association with individual identification information on the industrial machine to be managed.

A server platform and a method to integrate a plurality of diverse plant floor equipment with at least one computerized management system in a manufacturing operational or maintenance system. The server platform includes a plurality of plant floor drivers adapted to communicatively interface with a plurality of diverse plant floor data sources. The server platform further includes at least one computerized management system driver adapted to communicatively interface with the at least one computerized management system. The server platform also includes a message translator adapted to broker communication between the plant floor data sources and the at least one computerized management system using an open standard. The server platform, using the open standard, enables a universal enterprise type taxonomy across the plant floor data sources and the at least one computerized management system.

An FA-device-configuration-design supporting apparatus that performs editing of a profile including individual identification information and a definition of setting of an FA device and a setting range of the setting includes a profile storing unit that stores the profile, a user-specific-information-region securing function for securing, for the profile in the profile storing unit, a write-content input region in which a setting value specific to a user can be written concerning content defined in the profile, a user-specific-information writing function for writing, in the write-content input region, the content defined by the profile edited by a first user, and a user-specific-information saving function for saving, as a user-defined profile, in the profile storing unit, the profile including the content input to the write-content input region.

An information collection and display system is provided, in which a data generation device that generates site data and a transaction data accumulation unit that stores the site data are connected. The system includes an association data accumulation unit storing association data which defines an association of each of multiple pieces of information included in the site data; an association data search unit which searches for second information associated with first information included in the pieces of information, on the basis of the association data; and a user interface that displays a connection relation of the pieces of information associated by the association data. The association data search unit searches for the second information associated with the first information displayed on the user interface and displays the first information and the second information on the user interface with the connection relation of the pieces of information.
