| At factory "C"
several kinds of machine parts are manufactured from two or more
production lines. As the final processes of each part there is a
process of putting the bar code seal to distinguish what product
it is on completed parts. In order to do that PC and the label printer
for the label print are set up, and the worker is doing the label
print and sticking if necessary. When the work of the day ended
the number of sheets of the bar code label issued on the day is
written in FD and data is copied onto PC for management in the office
then the production situation is confirmed.B |

| Using this operation,
the data of the bar code needs to be printed for each line is passed
to the worker with FD. The worker prints the label from PC set up
every time the line becoms full. And the worker writes the number
of sheets in FD at the end of work, collects in the office, and
totals it. Since PC and the label printer are set beside the line,
PC can break because of dust and damp many times disabling from
printing labels or the worker makes mistake operating the PC and
destroy the FD's data or even prints out bar code that is unnecessary.
To prevent that happens printing necessary number of the bar coed
should be done by the worker using the PC that exists in the production
management section to the label printer on the line side. And the
user demands that they want to change the system to count at the
stage where the total of the number of sheets is directed to print. |

Connecting the
factory practically doing work and the production management section
and putting the label printer with print server on the line, instruction
of the bar code print on the production line from the PC of the
administrator and print out only the necessary number of sheets
come to be possible. And operation is changed that at the stage
where it is directed to output the total data is up-loaded to the
administrating PC in the office.
With this system unnecessary suspension of the producing line because
of break down PC or FD and print outs are cleared up. Also management
of producing units at the time became practical. |
