Abstract:
1. A coating equipment managing system for controlling and monitoring an electrodeposition coating equipment of an automobile manufacturing line, comprising: a local installation which is provided in a manufacturing line at each of a plurality of localities; and a central installation for receiving data from a plurality of the local installations, characterized in that: said local installation comprises: a cistern configured to contain coating composition and receive a coating target; an electrodeposition coating equipment configured to use for an electrodeposition coating in which a coating target is immersed into the cistern; a sensor installed in said electrodeposition coating equipments; a data acquisition unit for receiving signals from said sensor; a control unit for controlling said electrodeposition coating equipment; and a local communication unit; said central installation comprises: a server unit and a central analysis unit; said local communication unit transmits data containing measured data received from said data acquisition unit to said server unit through a communication network; said server unit transmits the measured data received from said local communication unit to said central analysis unit and transmits correction data for said electrodeposition coating equipment obtained from the analysis of said measured data by said central analysis unit to said local communication unit through the communication network; and said local communication unit converts said correction data received from said server unit into a control code and transmits it to said control unit.
