Abstract

A member attachment support system is for supporting work of attaching a plurality of members to a device. The member attachment support system includes: an identification information storage unit provided for each of the plurality of members and configured to store identification information associated with an attachment position of each of the plurality of members; a terminal device configured to acquire the identification information from the identification information storage unit; and a display device configured to display a support image that indicates the attachment position corresponding to the identification information acquired by the terminal device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A member attachment support system for supporting work of attaching a plurality of members to a device, the member attachment support system comprising:
an identifier provided for each of the plurality of members and configured to store identification information associated with an attachment position of each of the plurality of members;
a first processor configured to acquire the identification information from the identifier; and
a second processor configured to record to a memory that each of the plurality of members is attached to the attachment position corresponding to the identification information; and
a display,
wherein the first processor or the second processor is configured to: (i) generate a support image indicating the attachment position on the device corresponding to the identification information; and (ii) instruct the display to show the support image and a latest progress of the work based on the record of the memory.

2. The member attachment support system according to claim 1 , wherein the identification information includes area information indicating a work area on the device.

3. The member attachment support system according to claim 2 , wherein the identification information includes partition information which is information of a section of the attachment position of the member uniquely set in the work area.

4. The member attachment support system according to claim 2 , wherein the first processor or the second processor is configured to instruct the display to show the attachment position on the device in a different form depending on the work area.

5. The member attachment support system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the first processor or the second processor is configured to instruct the display to show the support image in: (i) a first form for the attachment position of the plurality of members before attachment; and (ii) a second form for the attachment position of the plurality of members after the attachment is completed; and
the first form is different from the second form.

6. The member attachment support system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of the identifiers,
wherein the second processor is a server configured to instruct the display to show the support image and the latest progress of the work to a plurality of workers simultaneously.

7. The member attachment support system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of the identifiers; and
a plurality of the first processors which are included in a plurality of terminals, respectively,
wherein at least one of the plurality of the terminals is configured to generate the support image and transmit the support image to a remainder of the plurality of the terminals.

8. The member attachment support system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the memory is a first memory;
the member attachment support system further comprises a second memory configured to store a storage location of the plurality of members before attachment to the device; and
the first processor or the second processor is configured to instruct the display to show the storage location.

9. The member attachment support system according to claim 1 , wherein the identifier is a radio frequency identifier (RFID) tag.

10. The member attachment support system according to claim 1 , wherein the identifier is configured to have code information displayed thereon.

11. The member attachment support system according to claim 1 , wherein the device is a gas turbine component and the plurality of members are heat insulation members.

12. The member attachment support system according to claim 11 , wherein the gas turbine component is a compressor, a combustor or a turbine; and the heat insulation members are heat insulations blocks.

13. A member attachment support system for supporting work of attaching a plurality of members to a device, the member attachment support system comprising:
an identifier provided for each of the plurality of members and configured to store identification information associated with an attachment position of each of the plurality of members;
a first processor configured to acquire the identification information from the identifier;
a speaker configured to output sound information indicating the attachment position on the device corresponding to the identification information acquired by the first processor;
a second processor configured to record to a memory that each of the plurality of members is attached to the attachment position corresponding to the identification information; and
a display,
wherein the first processor or the second processor is configured to: (i) generate a support image indicating the attachment position on the device corresponding to the identification information; and (ii) instruct the display to show the support image and a latest progress of the work based on the record of the memory.

14. The member attachment support system according to claim 13 , wherein the device is a gas turbine component and the plurality of members are heat insulation members.

15. The member attachment support system according to claim 14 , wherein the gas turbine component is a compressor, a combustor or a turbine; and the heat insulation members are heat insulations blocks.

16. A member attachment support method, using the member attachment support system according to claim 1 , for supporting the work of attaching the plurality of members to the device, the member attachment support method comprising:
acquiring, at the first processor, the identification information associated with the attachment position of each of the plurality of members from the identifier provided for each of the plurality of members and configured to store the identification information;
instructing, by the first processor, the display to show the support image indicating the attachment position on the device corresponding to the identification information acquired by the first processor;
recording, by the second processor to the memory, that each of the plurality of members is attached to the attachment position corresponding to the identification information; and
(i) generating, by the first processor or the second processor, the support image indicating the attachment position on the device corresponding to the identification information; and (ii) instructing, by the first processor or the second processor, the display to show the support image and the latest progress of the work based on the record of the memory.

17. The member attachment support method according to claim 16 , wherein the device is a gas turbine component and the plurality of members are heat insulation members.

18. The member attachment support method according to claim 17 , wherein the gas turbine component is a compressor, a combustor or a turbine; and the heat insulation members are heat insulations blocks.
