Problems solved by technology

This creates a wait at the assembly station, which leads to a buildup of items at the output of other upstream stations
Therefore, the risk may cause multiple parallel lines on the production line to be forced to stop

Embodiment Construction

[0036] figure 1 A top view of scratch pad 10 is shown. The temporary storage mat 10 comprises sensors 11 integrated on the temporary storage mat 10 and regularly distributed on the temporary storage mat 10 . The position of each sensor 11 on the escrow mat 10 is individually identified and distinct from the position of each other sensor 11 .

[0037] Items 12, 13 may be placed on escrow mat 10 by, for example, an operator or a robot. Each sensor 11 is capable of sensing the presence of said item 12 , 13 when the item 12 , 13 is placed within the sensitive zone of said sensor 11 . The sensor 11 is activated by the item 12 , 13 as soon as the item 12 , 13 is placed on the escrow mat 10 and enters the sensitive area of ​​the sensor 11 , wherein the placement is detected by the sensor 11 . The sensor 11 is thus able to transmit information indicative of the detected presence of the item 12 , 13 . Conversely, when the items 12, 13 leave the sensitive area of ​​the sensor 11 com...

Abstract

A temporary storage system (20) comprises a temporary storage mat (10), a control unit (21) and signalling means (22). The temporary storage mat (10) comprises a plurality of regularly distributed sensors. In a loading phase, the control unit (21) receives the information from at least one of the sensors when an item is deposited on the temporary storage mat (10), and records a trace of the deposition of the item in association with a reference to each of the sensors activated by the deposition. In an unloading phase, the control unit (21) determines a removal sequence of the items and, for each item to be removed, identifies the referenced sensors, transmits signalling information identifying the position of the item to the signalling means (22), and receives the information from at least one of the sensors when the item is removed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of temporary storage of articles. The technical field of application of the invention is production line setups. More precisely, the present invention proposes a temporary storage system, which is used to be inserted between the upstream post and the downstream post of the production line, and can automatically manage the original items of the temporary storage system from the upstream post at the output end of the temporary storage system. Sorting to downstream posts. Background technique [0002] In the production line, various manufacturing, processing or assembly operations of products are carried out continuously on the job stations set in a preset sequence. [0003] In the online configuration where jobs are connected to each other, the production process leaving one job (called "upstream job") is directly connected to the production process of the next job (called "downstream job"). All operations on the pro...
