Patent ID: 8086338

Claim:
A service providing method for providing a service for monitoring a mounting tact of a component mounting apparatus or a component mounting line, from a service provider provided for a supplier or a service person side of the component mounting apparatus, comprising a component supplier for supplying a component and a component holder for holding the component from the component supplier and mounting the component onto a circuit board, or the component mounting line in which a connection is made so as to include the component mounting apparatus, to a service receiver provided to a user side for mount production using the component mounting apparatus or the component mounting line via a communication system including the Internet, the method comprising: collecting mounting tact information including a mounting tact result value of the component mounting apparatus from the service receiver by the use of the service provider via the communication system; judging whether a mounting operation of the component mounting apparatus has a tact loss corresponding to an amount by which a mounting tact is greater than a standard mounting tact as a result of analysis of the collected mounting tact information; and determining and feeding back NC data for allowing the component mounting apparatus to be operated, in which an arrangement of the component supplier or a component mounting order is adjusted to reduce the tact loss, to the service receiver via the communication system, when it is judged that the mounting operation has a tact loss, wherein the service provider displays a line mounting tact corresponding to the largest mounting tact result value among the mounting tact result values of the respective component mounting apparatuses of the component mounting line in order to monitor the line mounting tact, wherein after an optimization of the arrangement of the component supplier or the component mounting order in the NC data is executed to reduce the tact loss, the service provider obtains a tact loss based on optimized NC data through tact simulation for examination, and wherein the service provider displays a graph showing the mounting tact result value of each of the component mounting apparatuses to show the line mounting tact, and displays a graph showing the tact losses of each of the respective displayed mounting tact result values.
