WORK ASSISTANCE APPARATUS, WORK ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, AND WORK ASSISTANCE METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18283215 titled 'WORK ASSISTANCE APPARATUS, WORK ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, AND WORK ASSISTANCE METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The work assistance apparatus described in the patent application aims to improve production efficiency in a production line by evaluating profile information, estimating correction methods, and determining correction instructions based on worker and production facility information.

  • Profile information evaluation unit evaluates degree of change in profile information
  • Correction estimation unit estimates correction method and correction effect
  • Instruction determination unit decides correction instruction for worker or production facility

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various manufacturing industries to optimize production processes and enhance overall efficiency.

Problems Solved

1. Inefficient production processes 2. Lack of real-time feedback for workers and production facilities

Benefits

1. Increased production efficiency 2. Enhanced worker performance 3. Improved quality control in manufacturing

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Production Efficiency in Manufacturing Processes"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to production line optimization and worker assistance systems, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.

Unanswered Questions

The patent application does not address any potential limitations or constraints that may affect the applicability of this technology in different settings.


Original Abstract Submitted

Production efficiency in a production line is improved. A work assistance apparatus includes a profile information evaluation unit that evaluates degree of change in profile information based on worker information and production facility information, a correction estimation unit that estimates a correction method of profile information and a correction effect caused by the correction method based on evaluation in the profile information evaluation unit, and an instruction determination unit that determines a correction instruction for at least one of a worker and a production facility to perform correction based on a corresponding correction method based on a correction effect.
