1. A machine control device that controls multiple manufacturing machines connected to a power facility,the machine control device comprising:

  • a command unit that outputs individual operation commands to the respective manufacturing machines;

    a machine information retrieval unit that retrieves, at predetermined intervals, information including at least operating conditions, power consumption, and production amounts of the manufacturing machines when the manufacturing machines operate according to the operation commands of the command unit;

    a power excess/shortage decision unit that decides whether time-series data on total power consumption of the manufacturing machines associated with the operation commands has maximum peak power larger than a power supply capacity of the power facility, according to the information stored in a storage unit that sequentially stores the information about the manufacturing machines or according to the information retrieved by the machine information retrieval unit; and

    an operation command adjustment unit that adjusts the operation commands to the manufacturing machines from the command unit according to the information stored in the storage unit or the information retrieved by the machine information retrieval unit so as to adjust the maximum peak power to the power supply capacity of the power facility or less and maximize a production amount of the manufacturing machines associated with the operation commands.
