Abstract

A register of an industrial equipment production system acquires setting information adjusted in an industrial equipment and registers the setting information in a server. A receiver receives a production instruction for the industrial equipment. An identifier identifies, in a case where the production instruction is received, the setting information on the industrial equipment to be produced in accordance with the production instruction based on the setting information registered in the server.

Claims

1. An industrial equipment production system, comprising:

a register configured to acquire setting information adjusted in an industrial equipment and register the setting information in a server;

a receiver configured to receive a production instruction for the industrial equipment; and

an identifier configured to identify, in a case where the production instruction is received, the setting information on the industrial equipment to be produced in accordance with the production instruction based on the setting information registered in the server.

2. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 1, wherein the register acquires the setting information stored in a storage of the industrial equipment and registers the setting information in the server.

3. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 1, wherein:

the register repeatedly acquires the setting information, and registers a history of the setting information in the server;

the industrial equipment production system further comprises a history receiver configured to receive a designation of any one of a plurality of pieces of the setting information comprised in the history registered in the server; and

the identifier identifies the setting information on the industrial equipment to be produced in accordance with the production instruction based on the designated piece of the setting information among the plurality of the pieces of the setting information comprised in the history.

4. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 1, wherein:

the register acquires the setting information on each of a plurality of industrial equipments, and registers the setting information in the server in association with each of the plurality of industrial equipments;

the industrial equipment production system further comprises an equipment receiver configured to receive the designation relating to the industrial equipment to be produced; and

wherein

the identifier identifies the setting information on the designated industrial equipment based on a piece of the setting information associated with the designated industrial equipment among pieces of the setting information registered in the server.

5. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 1, wherein:

the receiver repeatedly receives the production instruction; and

the identifier identifies, each time the production instruction is received, the setting information on the industrial equipment to be produced in accordance with the production instruction based on the setting information registered in the server.

6. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 1, further comprising a setter configured to perform setting of the industrial equipment to be produced in accordance with the production instruction based on the identified setting information.

7. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 6, wherein the setter performs the setting of a plurality of industrial equipments based on the same piece of the setting information.

8. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 1, wherein:

the register acquires a parameter for a prototype of the industrial equipment to be produced in accordance with the production instruction, and registers the parameter in the server; and

the identifier identifies a parameter for the industrial equipment to be produced in accordance with the production instruction based on the parameter for the prototype registered in the server.

9. An industrial equipment production server, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a production instruction for an industrial equipment that operates based on setting information adjusted by a user; and

an identifier configured to identify, in a case where the production instruction is received, the setting information on the industrial equipment to be produced in accordance with the production instruction based on the setting information registered in the server.

10. An industrial equipment production method, comprising:

acquiring setting information adjusted in an industrial equipment;

registering the setting information in a server;

receiving a production instruction for the industrial equipment; and

identifying, in a case where the production instruction is received, the setting information on the industrial equipment to be produced in accordance with the production instruction based on the setting information registered in the server.

11. Anon-transitory computer-readable information storage medium having stored thereon a program for causing a computer to:

receive a production instruction for an industrial equipment that operates based on setting information adjusted by a user; and

identify, in a case where the production instruction is received, the setting information on the industrial equipment to be produced in accordance with the production instruction based on the setting information registered in the server.

12. An industrial equipment production system, comprising:

receiving means for receiving a production instruction for an industrial equipment that operates based on setting information adjusted by a user; and

using means for using, in a case where the production instruction is received, the setting information registered in the server to set the industrial equipment to be produced in accordance with the production instruction.
