Management system and management method

Abstract

A management system includes: an acquisition unit acquiring melting information pertaining to original molten metal, for each of melting furnaces; a first assignment unit assigning a ladle serial number to a ladle receiving the original molten metal; a melting management unit associating a furnace number, the number of tappings from the one melting furnace, and the melting information on the one melting furnace with each other, and storing associated items; a ladle management unit associating the ladle serial number, the furnace number, and the number of tappings with each other, and storing associated items in a storage medium; and a pouring management unit associating an identifier of the mold with the ladle serial number, in response to the pouring device pouring the molten metal in the conveyed ladle into the mold, and storing associated items in the storage medium.

         3 . The management system according to  claim 2 , wherein the ladle management unit associates information on a first inoculation material injected into the processing ladle in order to adjust a component of the original molten metal, with the ladle serial number, and stores associated items in the storage medium. 
     
     
         4 . The management system according to  claim 2 , wherein the ladle management unit associates information on a second inoculation material injected into the pouring ladle in order to adjust a component of molten metal, with the ladle serial number, and stores associated items in the storage medium. 
     
     
         5 . The management system according to  claim 2 , wherein the ladle management unit associates an identifier identifying the pouring ladle with the ladle serial number, and stores associated items in the storage medium. 
     
     
         6 . The management system according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one ladle includes a plurality of ladles conveying molten metal to the pouring device. 
     
     
         7 . A management method for a casting facility tapping, into at least one ladle, a part of original molten metal obtained in one melting furnace among melting furnaces, adjusting a component of the original molten metal in the at least one ladle having received the original molten metal to obtain molten metal, conveying the at least one ladle retaining the molten metal to a pouring device, and pouring the molten metal in the conveyed at least one ladle into a mold using the pouring device, the management system comprising:
 an acquisition step of acquiring melting information pertaining to the original molten metal for each of the melting furnaces;   a first assignment step of assigning a ladle serial number to the at least one ladle receiving the original molten metal;   a melting management step of associating a furnace number identifying the one melting furnace, the number of tappings from the one melting furnace, and the melting information on the one melting furnace with each other, and storing associated items in a storage medium;   a ladle management step of associating the ladle serial number, the furnace number, and the number of tappings with each other, in response to tapping of the original molten metal from the one melting furnace into the at least one ladle, and storing associated items in the storage medium; and   a pouring management step of associating an identifier of the mold with the ladle serial number, in response to the pouring device pouring the molten metal in the conveyed at least one ladle into the mold, and storing associated items in the storage medium.   
     
     
         8 . The management system according to  claim 3 , wherein the ladle management unit associates information on a second inoculation material injected into the pouring ladle in order to adjust a component of molten metal, with the ladle serial number, and stores associated items in the storage medium. 
     
     
         9 . The management system according to  claim 3 , wherein the ladle management unit associates an identifier identifying the pouring ladle with the ladle serial number, and stores associated items in the storage medium. 
     
     
         10 . The management system according to  claim 4 , wherein the ladle management unit associates an identifier identifying the pouring ladle with the ladle serial number, and stores associated items in the storage medium.
