Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic component mounting system includes plural mounting line systems, and an integrated system capable of communication with the plural mounting line systems. The mounting line systems have an electronic component mounting line, a mounting line management unit, and an identification information reading unit. If identification information read by the identification information reading unit is not stored in an integrated database, a component information reading unit included in the mounting line management unit reads from a local database the identification information and information about a use status of electronic components housed in an electronic component housing body to which the identification information is attached.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electronic component mounting system comprising plural mounting line systems, and an integrated system capable of communication with the plural mounting line systems, wherein the plural mounting line systems comprise an electronic component mounting line comprising an electronic component mounting apparatus that takes an electronic component out of an electronic component housing body in which plural electronic components are housed and mounts the electronic component on a substrate, a mounting line management unit which is connected to the electronic component mounting apparatus and comprises a local database for storing information about a use status of the electronic components in a unit of the electronic component housing body, and an identification information reading unit which is communicably connected to the mounting line management unit and reads identification information attached to the electronic component housing body, and the mounting line management unit comprises a component information reading unit that, when the identification information read by the identification information reading unit is not stored in an integrated database of the integrated system, reads from the local database and stores in the integrated database the identification information and information about a use status of the electronic components housed in the electronic component housing body to which the identification information is attached. 2. The electronic component mounting system according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting line management unit further comprises a component information updating unit that updates component information stored in the integrated database based on component use information sent from the electronic component mounting apparatus. 3. The electronic component mounting system according to claim 1 , wherein when information about a use status of the electronic components is stored in the integrated database, the component information reading unit attaches information to the effect that the information about the use status of the electronic components is stored in the integrated database to the local database.
