Production Support Function - JUKI SC-921 Instruction Manual

5. Production support function

The production support function consists of three different functions (six different modes) such as the pro-
duction volume management function, operation measuring function and bobbin counter function. Each of
them has its own production support effect. Select the appropriate function (mode) as required.
■ Production volume management function
Target No. of pcs. display mode [F100]
Target/actual No. of pcs difference display mode [F200]
The target number of pieces, actual number of pieces and the difference between the target and
actual number of pieces along with the operation time are displayed to notify the operators of a delay
and advance in real time. Sewing machine operators are allowed to engage sewing while constantly
checking his/her work pace. This helps raise target awareness, thereby increasing productivity. In ad-
dition, a delay in work can be found at an early stage to enable early detection of problems and early
implementation of corrective measures.
■ Operation measuring function
Sewing machine availability rate display mode [F300]
Pitch time display mode [F400]
Average number of revolutions display mode [F500]
Sewing machine availability status is automatically measured and displayed on the control panel. The
data obtained can be used as basic data to perform process analyses, line arrangement and equip-
ment efficiency checkup.
■ Bobbin counter function
Bobbin counter display mode
In order to change bobbins before the current bobbin runs out of thread, the time for replacing the
bobbin is notified.
