Molding Management System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300156 titled 'Molding Management System
The abstract describes a molding management system that acquires abnormality information related to an injection molding machine and outputs warning information based on the acquired data.
- The system includes a first acquisition unit that gathers first, second, and third abnormality information.
- A first output unit is responsible for issuing warning information based on the acquired abnormality data.
- The second and third abnormality information pertain to the injection molding machine and the type of abnormality present.
- The first acquisition unit acquires the second abnormality information shortly after the first abnormality information and the third abnormality information after a delay.
- The first output unit triggers a warning when the first abnormality information is acquired, but not for the second abnormality information, and again for the third abnormality information.
Potential Applications: - Quality control in manufacturing processes - Predictive maintenance in industrial settings - Process optimization in injection molding operations
Problems Solved: - Early detection of abnormalities in injection molding machines - Timely warnings to prevent machine breakdowns - Improved efficiency and productivity in manufacturing processes
Benefits: - Minimized downtime due to proactive maintenance - Enhanced product quality through timely interventions - Cost savings by avoiding major machine malfunctions
Commercial Applications: Title: "Predictive Maintenance System for Injection Molding Machines" This technology can be utilized in industries such as automotive, electronics, and consumer goods manufacturing for efficient production processes and reduced maintenance costs.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between various types of abnormalities in the injection molding machine? 2. What are the specific parameters monitored by the first acquisition unit to detect abnormalities accurately?
Original Abstract Submitted
a molding management system includes: a first acquisition unit configured to acquire first abnormality information, second abnormality information, and third abnormality information; and a first output unit configured to output first warning information. the second abnormality information and the third abnormality information include information on an injection molding machine in the first abnormality information and information on a type of an abnormality in the injection molding machine in the first abnormality information. the first acquisition unit acquires the second abnormality information after acquiring the first abnormality information and before a first period elapses therefrom, and acquires the third abnormality information after acquiring the first abnormality information and after the first period elapses therefrom. the first output unit outputs the first warning information when the first abnormality information is acquired, does not output the first warning information when the second abnormality information is acquired, and outputs the first warning information when the third abnormality information is acquired.
