A material handling system and control method for manufacturing IoT

Abstract

The invention brings forward a material loading and unloading system for internet of manufacturing things, and a control method, for improving intelligentization of a material loading and unloading system by use of an internet of things technology. The material loading and unloading system comprises loading and unloading stations, a host computer, an embedded AGV and a trailer. The control method is different from a conventional central scheduling mode, realizes automatic control, task interaction and scheduling of each loading and unloading station and the AGV. First of all, the loading and unloading stations perceive demands of loading and unloading tasks by themselves through the internet of things technology and issue the demands on the host computer in the form of a task pool. Secondly, the embedded AGV searches tasks in the task pool, according to rules of its own state, task priorities, path lengths and the like, automatically select the tasks and complete the tasks through the loading and unloading stations. According to the material loading and unloading system for the internet of manufacturing things, and the control method, for large-scale material loading and unloading tasks, reliance of the whole system for a central scheduling system is greatly reduced, the system operation efficiency, the real-time performance and the automation can be greatly improved, and the larger the logistics scale is, the more remarkable the effect is.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The present invention relates to a material loading and unloading system and a control method, in particular to a material loading and unloading system and a control method oriented to manufacturing IoT. Background technique: [0002] Logistics automation is an important component of intelligent manufacturing. It generally includes logistics automation equipment and central dispatching system. It is an industry that is supported and encouraged by national industrial policies. Traditionally, the distribution of logistics transportation tasks mainly relies on manual methods. With the improvement of the intelligence of logistics equipment, the current logistics transportation tasks mainly rely on the central dispatching system to automatically allocate. However, due to the increase in the scale of logistics, the number of logistics transportation tasks is increasing, making it increasingly difficult for the central dispatching system to adapt to the curr...
