Molding Management System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18599346 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 an acquisition unit that gathers information on different types of abnormalities in the injection molding machine.
- A first output unit is responsible for issuing warning information when abnormality data is acquired.
- The acquisition unit collects second abnormality information shortly after the first abnormality information and third abnormality information after a certain period.
- The first output unit triggers a warning only when the first abnormality information is acquired, not for the second abnormality information, but again for the third abnormality information.
Potential Applications: - Quality control in manufacturing processes - Preventive maintenance in industrial settings - Real-time monitoring of machinery performance
Problems Solved: - Early detection of abnormalities in injection molding machines - Timely warnings to prevent machine breakdowns - Improved efficiency in production processes
Benefits: - Reduced downtime due to machine failures - Cost savings through preventive maintenance - Enhanced overall productivity in manufacturing operations
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Molding Management System for Industrial Efficiency" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as automotive, electronics, and consumer goods manufacturing to streamline production processes and ensure optimal performance of injection molding machines.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between different types of abnormalities in the injection molding machine? 2. What are the specific parameters monitored by the acquisition unit to detect abnormalities in real-time?
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.
