Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of complex equipment change control, and in particular relates to a change tracking method for complex equipment. Background Art

[0002] During the entire life cycle of complex equipment development, demand changes, design optimization, manufacturing refinement and other reasons will inevitably lead to engineering changes, and face change operations such as business restructuring, process reconfiguration, and data changes. Engineering change control based on the product lifecycle management system came into being, realizing task allocation, professional approval, data changes, and remote factory collaboration during the change process, and effectively managing the technical status of product data.

[0003] In view of the characteristics of complex equipment development, such as long development cycle, long use cycle, long industrial chain, and multiple supporting units, the engineering change control process is divided into three important stages: engineering change request, engineering change proposal, and engineering change instruction. Among them, the change request can be submitted by the design unit, process manufacturer, and acceptance unit, and the change type, reason for change, and content of change are recorded. After the change request is reviewed by the professional and passed the overall review, the change proposal can be automatically triggered, and the collaborative preparation task is assigned to each profession to record the change plan and effect, impact analysis, implementation plan, etc. After the preparation is completed, the change proposal will automatically trigger the change instruction after passing the bid review and approval. The responsible person will complete the basic information, change content, change object, etc., and distribute it to the execution unit after review, approval, professional countersignature, etc., and execute the change on the change object. Change requests, change proposals, and change instructions can be further subdivided according to the proposer or equipment status. The specific schematic diagram is as follows Figure 1 shown.

[0004] Comprehensive control of the above change links is conducive to improving the traceability of data and processes to support the monitoring and management requirements for data quality and engineering efficiency during the development of complex equipment. However, in actual scenarios, a certain type of complex equipment has three states, and 9,520 change requests, 3,609 change suggestions, and 16,572 change instructions were created in a certain state. At the same time, one change request can trigger multiple change instructions, and one change instruction can be associated with multiple change requests. The change association diagram is shown in the figure below. Figure 2 The huge amount of data and the complex many-to-many relationship greatly increase the difficulty of change tracking. The current system requires jumping to multiple pages to query all related change orders from one object. The operation is complicated and the relationship and detailed information cannot be displayed intuitively.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of complex equipment development and design a visual change tracking method based on the product lifecycle management system with events as the display unit. This method can intuitively display the association relationship, quickly view detailed information, and is easy to operate, thereby improving the traceability of data and processes. Summary of the invention

[0006] Purpose of the present invention:

[0007] A change tracking method for complex equipment is proposed, which stipulates that all documents generated in the change control process are collectively referred to as

[0008] Change order defines a query of information on a change order as an event. All data information of a change order in the product lifecycle management system is collected through event sets, and displayed on demand through front-end interaction. This solves the problem that the current change tracking operation is complex and cannot intuitively display associations and detailed information.

[0009] The technical solution of the present invention:

[0010] A change tracking method for complex equipment includes the following steps:

[0011] Step 1: Configure event feedback results;

[0012] Step 2: Event registration;

[0013] Step 3: Parse the event type;

[0014] Step 4: Configure the event set;

[0015] Step 5: Define the node object;

[0016] Step 6: Display the node object;

[0017] Step 7: Display the results.

[0018] Further, step 1 specifically includes: configuring the type of event feedback results, including configuring one or any several of process type, form type, table type, link type, query node type, and associated node type as the type of event feedback results, and performing horizontal and vertical expansion according to specific needs.

[0019] Furthermore, step 2 is specifically: register all the information to be queried in the change control process, including four events: registration details, process information, change objects, work-in-progress information, and trigger items. Each event records the query results, feedback type, whether it is visible, and whether it is automatically executed. Events can be added, deleted, and modified according to specific needs.

[0020] Furthermore, step 3 is specifically as follows: different coding rules are formulated for different types of change orders, and by analyzing the change order number, it can be determined what kind of change request, change suggestion or change instruction the change order is.

[0021] Furthermore, step 4 specifically includes: configuring different events to form an event set according to the change order type.

[0022] Further, step 5 specifically includes: defining a change order to be tracked as a node object, which includes key attribute information and an event set of a type corresponding to the change order, wherein the key attributes include code, name, type, and status.

[0023] Further, step 6 is specifically as follows: a node object is represented by a double-layer concentric circle image, and different types of node objects are distinguished intuitively by color. The center displays key information such as number, status, and type, and the outer circle displays buttons that trigger different events according to the direction.

[0024] Further, step 7 is specifically: by clicking different event buttons, different forms of display are performed according to the event registration information; tracing the node object upward or downward, another concentric circle will be derived from the current concentric circle, and the two are linked by a one-way arrow to indicate their association relationship.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention proposes a change tracking method for complex equipment, which has the following advantages:

[0026] The event registration method defines query behavior and data type separately, and makes necessary associations and extensions based on actual business needs, thereby achieving the flexibility to adapt to data management in the complex equipment development process.

[0027] Define node objects to record attribute information, event sets and feedback, obtain all relevant information of the query object at one time, reduce query time during interaction with users, and improve user query experience.

[0028] By displaying query information on the front end, using concentric circles to represent node objects and one-way arrows to represent association relationships, the association relationships of change orders can be displayed intuitively, improving the traceability of complex equipment changes.

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] An embodiment of the present invention provides a change tracking method for complex equipment, comprising the following steps:

[0035] Step 1: Configure event feedback results; Step 1 specifically includes: configuring the type of event feedback results, including configuring one or any several of the process type, form type, table type, link type, query node type, and associated node type as the types of event feedback results, which can be expanded horizontally and vertically according to specific needs.

[0036] Step 2: Event registration; Step 2 specifically includes: registering all information to be queried in the change control process, including registration details, process information, change objects, work-in-progress information, trigger items and other events. Each event records the query results, feedback type, whether it is visible and whether it is automatically executed. Events can be added, deleted and modified according to specific needs.

[0037] Step 3: Analyze the event type; Step 3 specifically includes: Different coding rules are set for different types of change orders. By analyzing the change order number, it can be determined what kind of change request, change suggestion or change instruction the change order is.

[0038] Step 4: Configure event set; Step 4 specifically includes: equipping different events to form an event set according to the change order type, such as configuring an event set for ECR type including ECR detailed information query, triggering ECO / ECP query, etc.

[0039] Step 5: Define the node object; Step 5 specifically includes: defining a change order to be tracked as a node object, which includes key attribute information such as code, name, type, status, and an event set of the corresponding type of the change order.

[0040] Step 6: Display the node object; Step 6 is specifically: a node object is represented by a double-layer concentric circle image, and different types of node objects are intuitively distinguished by color. The center displays key information such as number, status, and type, and the outer circle displays buttons that trigger different events according to the direction.

[0041] Step 7: Display results: Step 7 is as follows: By clicking different event buttons, different forms of display are performed according to the event registration information. Tracing the node object upward or downward will derive another concentric circle (i.e. another node object) from the current concentric circle, and the two are linked by a one-way arrow to indicate their association relationship.

[0042] A second embodiment of the present invention provides a change tracking method for complex equipment, comprising the following steps:

[0043] Step S1: Configure process type, form type, table type, link type, query node type, and associated node type as the type of event feedback results, which can be expanded horizontally and vertically according to specific needs.

[0044] Specifically, the feedback type is defined by implementing the interface "IViewActionExecResult".

[0045] "ViewActionOpenForm" is a form type, which is defined as follows:

[0046]

[0047] Step S2: Register detailed information, process information, changed objects, work-in-progress information, trigger items and other events in the product lifecycle management system. Each event records the query results and its feedback type. Events can be added, deleted and modified according to specific needs.

[0048] Specifically, detailed information event registration requires defining and implementing the method "ViewActionOpenFormqueryDetail(String number)", specifying the event name and feedback type.

[0049] Step S3: Different coding rules are formulated for the same type of change orders. Therefore, by analyzing the change order number, it is possible to determine which type of change request, change suggestion or change instruction the change order is.

[0050] Specifically, the ECR number is generally "equipment code + professional number + ER + serial number", and the coding rules for other types of change orders are similar.

[0051] Step S4: Different events are configured according to the change order type to form an event set. Events are configured in the directions of top, bottom, left, and right. The event set specific to a certain change order type can be configured separately, and the rest of the configurations will automatically inherit the parent type definition.

[0052] Specifically, ViewNodeMenuContext is defined as an event set attribute class, which includes {right, left, bottom, top}.

[0053] The ECR type event set "ECREventGroup" is configured as follows:

[0054] ECREventGroup.bottom=group:ecrDown

[0055] ECREventGroup.top=queryECXInfoTable

[0056] The parent type common event set "ObjectEventGroup" is configured as follows:

[0057] ObjectEventGroup.right=queryDetail

[0058] ObjectEventGroup.left=openProcessVotingInfo

[0059] After being aggregated according to the inheritance rules, the ECR event set is shown below:

[0060] top:{queryECXInfoTable}

[0061] bottom: {group:ecrDown}

[0062] left:{openProcessVotingInfo}

[0063] right:{queryDetail}

[0064] Step S5: define a node object, including key attribute information such as code, name, type, status, and an event set of the corresponding type of the change order.

[0065] Specifically, ViewNode is defined as a node object, and its key attribute information is:

[0066] {id,name,number,typeCode,typeName,status,statusDisplay,ViewNodeMenuContext}

[0067] Step S6: A node object is represented by a double-layer concentric circle image, using colors to intuitively distinguish different types of objects. The center displays key information such as number, status, and type, and the outer circle displays buttons that trigger different events according to the direction.

[0068] Specifically, the node object display diagram is as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0069] Step S7: By clicking different event buttons, different forms of display are performed according to the event registration information, and the change order is traced upward or downward. Another concentric circle (i.e., another node object) will always be derived from the current concentric circle. The two are linked by a one-way arrow to indicate their association relationship.

[0070] Specifically, the schematic diagram of complex equipment change tracking is as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0071] The event registration method of the present invention defines query behavior and data type separately, and performs necessary association and expansion according to actual business needs, thereby achieving flexibility in adapting to data management of complex equipment development processes.

[0072] Define node objects to record attribute information, event sets and feedback, obtain all relevant information of the query object at one time, reduce query time during interaction with users, and improve user query experience.

[0073] By displaying query information on the front end, using concentric circles to represent node objects and one-way arrows to represent association relationships, the association relationships of change orders can be displayed intuitively, improving the traceability of complex equipment changes.

[0074] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is described in detail. The unexplained part is a conventional technology. However, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
