Abstract:
1. A production system including a production line being a series of a plurality of mounting apparatuses each of which has a parts supply unit, the production system comprising: an NC management apparatus that is connected with each mounting apparatus via a local-area network and acquires and stores therefrom NC data used for operating each mounting apparatus; and a scheduling apparatus that generates a production schedule from inputted production design data and transmits a generated production schedule to the NC management apparatus via the local-area network, wherein the NC management apparatus generates, for each mounting apparatus, NC data including production parameters for each mounting apparatus that is required to perform production according to the production schedule, and obtains, for each mounting apparatus, differences between stored NC data that had been stored prior to the generated NC data and generated NC data from the production schedule, and outputs the obtained differences, and the NC management apparatus further retrieves inspected NC data that was generated in past.
