MES platform for mass customization of furniture

Abstract

The invention provides an MES platform for mass customization of furniture, and the platform comprises an order planning management unit, a workshop management unit and an information integration unit, wherein the order planning management unit is used for following up the order status and processing process in the management system. The workshop management unit is used for carrying out the real-time monitoring of the various operational specifications and technical requirements of a workshop and corresponding interaction processing, and feeding back various processing results to a productionsite in various modes so as to improve the production scheduling speed of the component processing required by an order. The information integration unit is used for achieving the sharing of the orderdata and the component processing data required for the order between the units and the transmitting of data between the devices. The invention has the beneficial effects that the MES platform improves the production scheduling speed of the component processing by controlling the workshop, overcomes the difficulty of implementing the information management in the processing workshop, and improvesthe labor efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of furniture production, in particular to an MES platform for mass customization of furniture. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of modern manufacturing technology based on computer and information technology, mass customization (mass customization, MC) has become the mainstream model of furniture manufacturing in the future. Due to the randomness of customized furniture products, its structure produces a variety of different styles, which will inevitably increase the difficulty of factory processing, resulting in low production efficiency, long delivery cycle, and difficulty in product quality assurance, which brings certain challenges to enterprises. For this reason, customized furniture companies continue to integrate information technology and manufacturing technology, making the manufacturing process gradually digital and informatized, and the implementation of information managem...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The reality is that although most companies use ERP and other software to schedule production and prioritize processing, in the process of parts processing, due to inaccurate scheduling of production orders, the complexity of the production process and nonlinear production cannot be considered comprehensively. The technological process leads to low material utilization rate and serious waste, and at the same time, it is impossible to realize mixed production scheduling of multiple orders, resulting in the limitation that the delivery cycle cannot be guaranteed;

[0006] 2) Limitations of workshop control

[0007] For most custom-made furniture companies, they can generally have advanced CNC equipment, but the utilization rate and production efficiency of processing equipment are generally low. Most companies fail to monitor the production site equipment, and problems in the production process cannot be timely feedback and Solution, resulting in poor flexibility of the production process, lack of ability to respond to market changes, customer demand changes and adaptability; at the same time, the precise management of the manufacturing process and the lack of control and traceability of the manufacturing process lead to prolonged product production cycles and product failures. Limitations such as quality and output cannot be guaranteed;

[0008] 3) Limitations of Information Sharing

At present, most custom furniture enterprises are gradually implementing ERP system for enterprise management and control. However, when it comes to the manufacturing level of the workshop, the ERP system often cannot track the production process of the sales order in real time and update the production status information in real time, and cannot read in real time what happened during the execution of the production order. Production cost information and rework processing information for sales of returned and reworked products form an information blind spot at the workshop level
