Abstract

A cell control system that reduces an abnormality occurrence probability in a manufacturing cell according to a manufacturing cell operation plan includes a cell controller that transmits an operation instruction to a manufacturing machine of the manufacturing cell. The cell controller includes a machine operation instructing unit that transmits the operation instruction to each manufacturing machine based on an operation schedule, an operation information collecting unit that collects operation information of the manufacturing machine, an alarm probability estimating unit that estimates an alarm occurrence probability of the manufacturing machine, a schedule candidate creating unit that creates at least one operation schedule candidate having a changed order of an operation element of the operation schedule or start time, and an optimal candidate selecting unit that selects a shortest necessary time that takes the alarm occurrence into account from the operation schedule and the operation schedule candidate as a selected operation schedule.
