Abstract

A work management apparatus, a work management method, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program for managing a plurality of soldering works to be manually performed on a board, include: storing, in association with identification information of the board acquired by an identification information acquisition device connected to the work management apparatus, captured images of an entirety of the board and monitor information being chronologically continuous and respectively acquired by an image-capturing device and a soldering monitor device each connected to the work management apparatus in the soldering works; and chronologically displaying each of the captured images and monitor information stored in association with one piece of identification information selected from among the stored identification information of the board in a state where a capturing date and time of the captured image and an acquisition date and time of the monitor information match.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A work management apparatus for managing a plurality of soldering works to be manually performed on a board, the work management apparatus comprising:
a first interface configured to connect an identification information acquisition device which acquires identification information of the board;
a second interface configured to connect an image-capturing device which generates an image;
a third interface configured to connect a soldering monitor device which generates monitor information about the soldering works;
a first storage configured to store, in association with the identification information of the board acquired by the identification information acquisition device connected to the first interface, captured images of an entirety of the board continuously and chronologically generated by the image-capturing device connected to the second interface in the soldering works, and the monitor information continuously and chronologically generated by the soldering monitor device connected to the third interface in the soldering works;
a selection receiver configured to receive a selection of one piece of identification information from among the identification of the board stored in the first storage; and
a display configured to chronologically display each of the captured images and the monitor information stored in the first storage in association with the one piece of identification information in a state where a capturing date and time of the captured image and an acquisition date and time of the monitor information match.

2. The work management apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a fourth interface configured to connect a worker information acquisition device which acquires identification information of a worker who performs the soldering works, wherein
the first storage further stores, in association with the identification information of the board acquired by the identification information acquisition device connected to the first interface, the identification information of the worker acquired by the worker information acquisition device connected to the fourth interface, and
the display further displays the identification information of the worker stored in association with the one piece of identification information.

3. The work management apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a second storage configured to store, in association with the identification information of the board, a plurality of pieces of work position information each representing a work position of each of the soldering works on the board in a work order in advance; and
a fifth interface configured to read out work position information representing a work position of a subsequent soldering work from among the work position information, and instructing a marker device, which applies a marker indicating a work position of a soldering work onto the board, to apply a marker indicating the work position represented by the work position information having been read out onto the board.

4. The work management apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a processor configured to determine, at each time one soldering work among the soldering works is finished, whether the monitor information continuously and chronologically generated by the soldering monitor device connected to the third interface in the one soldering work satisfies a predetermined criterion,
wherein the display changes a display mode for the monitor information when the processor determines that the monitor information in the one soldering work satisfies the predetermined criterion.

5. The work management apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the predetermined criterion is defined by using the monitor information stored in the first storage in association with identification information of a board of a same kind having a same configuration as the board in a soldering work having a same content as the one soldering work.

6. The work management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the monitor information includes at least one of:
an amount of electric power supplied to a soldering tool used in a specific soldering work during an operation;
a temperature of the soldering tool;
a maximum weight load applied to the board in the soldering work during the operation;
a sum of times in which a weight load is applied to the board in the soldering work during the operation;
an amount of solder deposited on the board in the soldering work during the operation;
a sum of times in which the electric power is supplied to the soldering tool in the soldering work in the operation; and
a lowest temperature of the soldering tool in the soldering work during the operation.

7. The work management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the monitor information includes an amount of electric power supplied to a soldering tool used in a specific soldering work during an operation.

8. The work management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the monitor information includes a temperature of the soldering tool.

9. The work management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the monitor information includes a maximum weight load applied to the board in the soldering work during the operation.

10. The work management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the monitor information includes a sum of times in which a weight load is applied to the board in the soldering work during the operation.

11. The work management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the monitor information includes an amount of solder deposited on the board in the soldering work during the operation.

12. The work management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the monitor information includes a sum of times in which the electric power is supplied to the soldering tool in the soldering work in the operation.

13. The work management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the monitor information includes a lowest temperature of the soldering tool in the soldering work during the operation.

14. A work management method for use in a work management apparatus for managing a plurality of soldering works to be manually performed on a board, wherein
the work management apparatus includes:
a first interface configured to connect an identification information acquisition device which acquires identification information of the board;
a second interface configured to connect an image-capturing device which generates an image; and
a third interface configured to connect a soldering monitor device which generates monitor information about the soldering works, and

the work management method comprises:
storing, in association with the identification information of the board acquired by the identification information acquisition device connected to the first interface, captured images of an entirety of the board continuously and chronologically generated by the image-capturing device connected to the second interface in the soldering works, and the monitor information continuously and chronologically generated by the soldering monitor device connected to the third interface in the soldering works;
receiving a selection of one piece of identification information from among the stored identification information of the board; and
chronologically displaying each of the captured images and the monitor information stored in association with the one piece of identification information in a state where a capturing date and time of the captured image and an acquisition date and time of the monitor information match.
