Flexible manufacturing scheduling system and manufacturing system comprising same

Abstract

The invention provides a flexible manufacturing scheduling system and a manufacturing system comprising the flexible manufacturing scheduling system. The flexible manufacturing scheduling system is incommunication connection with at least one controller, and each controller is used for controlling at least one actuator. The flexible manufacturing scheduling system may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive order information, and control one or more of the at least one controller based on a pre-programmed scheduling logic corresponding to the order information to makethe controller control an action of the at least one actuator to fulfill the order task, wherein the scheduling logic is an instruction set required to fulfill the order task and recognizable and executable by the controller.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of automated manufacturing, and in particular to a lightweight flexible manufacturing scheduling system and a manufacturing system including the lightweight flexible manufacturing scheduling system. Background technique [0002] Traditional large-scale automated production lines require the cooperation of Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and production line control system to schedule and control production. The main function of MES is production scheduling, that is, sending orders to equipment. Equipment can be divided into two categories: one is a standardized production line, which usually only produces one product or products with similar process parameters, and its scheduling logic is relatively simple, so the scheduling logic is generally written in such as PLC (programmable logic controller) In the control system; the other is the mixed production line, which is suitable for the production of multi...

Problems solved by technology

Equipment can be divided into two categories: one is a standardized production line, which usually only produces one product or products with similar process parameters, and its scheduling logic is relatively simple, so the scheduling logic is generally written in such as PLC (programmable logic controller) In the control system; the other is the mixed production line, which is suitable for the production of multi-variety and small batch products. Its scheduling logic is relatively complicated. If the corresponding scheduling logic is written into the PLC, it is relatively complicated and difficult to implement.

However, if the traditional large-scale MES is applied to this multi-variety, small-batch mixed production line, it will not be cost-effective
