[0023] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology, according to one aspect of the embodiments of the present application, an embodiment of a material distribution method is provided.

[0025] like Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an optional material distribution method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include the following steps S110, S120, and S130:

[0026] Step S110, obtaining production information of the first material station to determine whether the first material station is short of material;

[0027] It should be noted that the production information of the embodiment of the present application may include the number of complete machines at the first material station, the ratio of the number of complete machines at the first material station to the number of materials at the first material station, the number of materials at the second material station adjacent to the first material station, etc., and whether the first material station is short of material is determined based on the above production information.

[0028] Step S120, when it is determined that the first material station is out of material, determining the type of material corresponding to the first material station;

[0029] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, when determining the first material station, the material type corresponding to the first material station can be determined. When it is determined that the first material station is not short of material based on the production information in the above embodiment, the material type corresponding to the first material station can be determined, or the material type corresponding to the first material station can be determined. The embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitations on this.

[0030] Step S130: Acquire materials of the material type corresponding to the first material station, and deliver the acquired materials to the material line-side warehouse of the first material station to replenish the first material station.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, by obtaining the production information of the first material station, it is determined whether the first material station is short of material. When it is determined that the first material station is short of material, the material type corresponding to the first material station is determined. By obtaining the material of the corresponding material type of the first material station, the obtained material is delivered to the material line side warehouse of the first material station, thereby replenishing the first material station.

[0032] According to the material distribution method of the embodiment of the application of the present invention, the production information of the first material station is obtained to determine whether the first material station is short of material. When it is determined that the first material station is short of material, the obtained material is distributed to the material line-side warehouse corresponding to the first material station to replenish the first material station. Therefore, the material can be distributed to the material line-side warehouse to replenish the first material station only when it is determined that the first material station is short of material, thereby avoiding the problem of untimely or excessive material distribution to the first material station, and solving the problem that when distributing materials to the stations on the production line, materials cannot be distributed in time, resulting in the station on the production line being prone to failure when assembling the whole machine with the distributed materials, thereby reducing the efficiency of the stations on the production line in assembling the whole machine with the distributed materials.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, in the above step S110, obtaining the production information of the first material station to determine whether the first material station is short of material can be achieved through the following steps S210 and S220:

[0034] Step S210: The material quantity in the material line side warehouse is obtained by subtracting the material quantity at the first material station from the material quantity at the second material station in the production information, where the first material station and the second material station are adjacent material stations. The material quantity at the first material station is the ratio of the number of complete machines at the first material station to the single machine ratio, and the single machine ratio is the ratio of the number of complete machines at the first material station to the material quantity at the first material station.

[0035] Step S220: Determine whether the first material station is short of material based on the material quantity in the material line warehouse.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the material quantity in the material line warehouse is obtained by subtracting the material quantity at the first material station from the material quantity at the second material station in the production information, the first material station and the second material station are adjacent material stations, the material quantity at the first material station is the ratio of the number of complete machines at the first material station to the single-machine ratio, the single-machine ratio is the ratio of the number of complete machines at the first material station to the material quantity at the first material station, and based on the material quantity in the material line warehouse, it is determined whether the first material station is short of material. The material distribution method according to the embodiment of the present invention can accurately determine whether the first material station is short of material, thereby avoiding inaccurate determination of whether the first material station is short of material, which results in the first material station being unable to use materials for complete machine production in a timely manner.

[0037] It can be understood that the production information in the above embodiment may include the number of complete machines at the first material station, the number of materials at the second material station adjacent to the first material station, the single machine ratio, etc. The single machine ratio is the ratio of the number of complete machines at the first material station to the number of materials at the first material station. The number of materials at the first material station can be obtained based on the number of complete machines and the single machine ratio. Therefore, the number of materials in the material line warehouse corresponding to the first material station can be obtained based on the number of materials at the first material station and the number of materials at the second material station. According to the number of materials in the material line warehouse of the first material station, it can be determined whether the first material is out of stock.

[0038] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, when the number of materials in the material line-side warehouse corresponding to the first material station is A, the number of complete machines at the first material station is X, the number of materials at the second material station is Z, the single-machine ratio is Y (the single-machine ratio Y is the ratio of the number of complete machines at the first material station to the number of materials at the first material station), and the number of materials at the second material station is W, the number of materials in the material line-side warehouse corresponding to the first material station can be calculated by the following formula: A=X / YZ, wherein W=X / Y. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of materials in the material line-side warehouse can also be calculated by the following formula: A=WZ, or A=|ZW|. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the material distribution method may further include a third material station and a fourth material station, wherein the third material station and the fourth material station are adjacent material stations, and the quantity of materials in the material line warehouse corresponding to the third material station is obtained by calculating the quantity of the third material machine, the quantity of materials in the fourth material station, and the ratio of the quantity of the third material machine to the quantity of materials in the third material station, so that it can be judged whether the third material station is short of materials based on the quantity of materials in the material line warehouse corresponding to the third material station. When it is determined that the third material station is short of materials, the materials are distributed to the material line warehouse corresponding to the third material station to replenish the materials at the third material station corresponding to the material line warehouse. It should be noted that in In an embodiment of the present application, the first material station and the second material station can be in the same production line, the third material station and the fourth material station can be in the same production line, the first material station and the second material station, the third material station and the fourth material station can be in the same production line, or in different production lines. When in different production lines, the material distribution method of the embodiment of the present application can judge the shortage of material stations of different material types. When it is determined that different material stations are short of material and the material types of the short-material stations are determined, the materials of the corresponding material types at the short-material stations are distributed to the material line side warehouse of the short-material station, so that different material line side warehouses can replenish the short-material stations of different material types.

[0040] like Figure 3As shown, specifically, in the above step S220, judging whether the first material station is short of material according to the material quantity in the material line warehouse can be achieved through step S310:

[0041] Step S310: When the material quantity in the material line warehouse is less than the safety stock quantity of the first material station, and the number of complete machines at the first material station is less than the production demand quantity of the complete machines at the first material station, it is determined that the first material station is out of material.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the above embodiments, whether the first material station is out of material is determined based on the material quantity in the material line warehouse, wherein the determination of the first material station being out of material can be that the material quantity in the material line warehouse is less than the safety stock quantity of the first material station, and the number of complete machines at the first material station is less than the production demand quantity of the complete machines at the first material station. According to the material distribution method of the embodiment of the present invention, the first material station can be determined to be out of material based on the safety stock quantity of the first material station and the production demand quantity of the complete machines at the first material station, thereby more accurately determining the lack of material at the first material station.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the safety stock quantity of the first material station can be the minimum inventory material quantity that the first material station can bear. When the material quantity of the first material station is less than the safety stock quantity of the first material station, it can be determined that the material quantity in the material line-side warehouse corresponding to the first material station cannot support the first material station to continue to use the materials for whole machine assembly, or the material quantity in the material line-side warehouse that the first material station can use cannot reach the whole machine assembly efficiency specified by the first material station, which may cause the whole machine assembly of the first material station in the production line to be stopped. The number of whole machines at the first material station can be the number of whole machines actually produced by the first material station when the first material station uses the materials in the corresponding material line-side warehouse to produce the whole machine. The whole machine production demand of the first material station can be the whole machine production quantity preset by the first material station. It can be understood that when the number of whole machines at the first material station is less than the whole machine production demand of the first material station, it can be determined that the material quantity in the material line-side warehouse corresponding to the first material station is insufficient to support the efficiency of the whole machine production of the first material station, and the material line-side warehouse corresponding to the first material station is short of materials.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically, in the above step S220, judging whether the first material station is short of material according to the material quantity in the material line warehouse can also be achieved through step S410:

[0045] Step S410: When the material quantity in the material line warehouse is not less than the safety stock quantity of the first material station, and / or the number of complete machines at the first material station is not less than the production demand quantity of the complete machines at the first material station, it is determined that the first material station has no shortage of materials.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, whether the first material station is out of material is determined based on the material quantity in the material line-side warehouse, wherein the determination that the first material station is not short of material can be when the material quantity in the material line-side warehouse is not less than the safety stock quantity of the first material station, and / or the number of complete machines at the first material station is not less than the complete machine production demand quantity of the first material station. Specifically, when the material quantity in the material line-side warehouse is not less than the safety stock quantity of the first material station, it can be determined that the first material station is not short of material; when the number of complete machines at the first material station is not less than the complete machine production demand quantity of the first material station, it can be determined that the first material station is not short of material; when the number of materials in the material line-side warehouse is not less than the safety stock quantity of the first material station, and the number of complete machines at the first material station is not less than the complete machine production demand quantity of the first material station, it can also be determined that the first material station is not short of material. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.

[0047] It can be understood that in the above embodiment, whether the first material station is short of materials is judged based on the number of materials in the material line warehouse or the number of complete machines at the first material station. When the number of materials in the material line warehouse corresponding to the first material station meets the safety inventory quantity requirement of the first material station, that is, the number of materials in the material line warehouse is sufficient to replenish the first material station in a sufficient and timely manner, it is judged that the first material station is not short of materials; when the number of complete machines at the first material station meets the production requirement of the complete machines of the first material station, that is, the number of complete machines produced by the first material station can meet the pre-set number of complete machines for the first material station, it is judged that the first material station is not short of materials. Similarly, when both judgment conditions are met at the same time in the above embodiment, it can also be judged that the first material station is not short of materials.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, the material distribution method can solve the problems in the related art, such as the material is not delivered to the material line-side warehouse corresponding to the first material station on time, the accurate material is not delivered to the material line-side warehouse corresponding to the first material station, and the material line-side warehouse corresponding to the first material station cannot continuously and stably replenish the first material station, thereby avoiding the impact of the first material station's production stoppage or reduced efficiency. The material distribution method may include obtaining production information of the first material station to determine whether the first material station is short of material. When it is determined that the first material station is short of material, determining the type of material corresponding to the first material station, obtaining the material of the material type corresponding to the first material station, and delivering the obtained material to the material line-side warehouse of the first material station to replenish the first material station. The material distribution method of the embodiment of the present application distributes materials to the material line-side warehouse corresponding to the first material station only when it is determined that the first material station is short of material. The material line-side warehouse corresponding to the first material station is used to replenish the first material station, so that the material distribution method can accurately perform material distribution. In addition, the material distribution method may also include, The quantity of materials in the material line warehouse is obtained by the difference between the quantity of materials at the first material station and the quantity of materials at the second material station. The first material station and the second material station are adjacent material stations. The quantity of materials at the first material station is the ratio of the number of complete machines at the first material station to the single machine ratio. The single machine ratio is the ratio of the number of complete machines at the first material station to the number of materials at the first material station. According to the quantity of materials in the material line warehouse, it is judged whether the first material station is short of materials. When the quantity of materials in the material line warehouse is less than the safety stock quantity of the first material station, and the number of complete machines at the first material station is less than The first material station determines that the first material station is short of materials based on the production demand quantity of the whole machine. When the quantity of materials in the material line warehouse is not less than the safety stock quantity of the first material station, and / or the quantity of the whole machine at the first material station is not less than the production demand quantity of the whole machine at the first material station, it is determined that the first material station is not short of materials. Thus, the information on whether the first material station is short of materials can be accurately obtained. Based on the accurate information on whether the first material station is short of materials, it is determined whether materials should be delivered to the material line warehouse corresponding to the first material station, so as to accurately replenish the materials at the first material station corresponding to the material line warehouse.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, in the above step S110, before obtaining the production information of the first material station to determine whether the first material station is short of material, the following steps S510 and S520 may also be included:

[0050] Step S510, delivering materials to the first material station, where the type of materials corresponds to the type of materials at the first material station;

[0051] Step S520: Control the first material station to produce the complete machine using the material, and generate production information of the first material station.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, materials are delivered to the first material station, the type of materials corresponds to the type of materials at the first material station, the first material station is controlled to use the materials to produce the whole machine, and the production information of the first material station is generated, and then the production information of the first material station is obtained to determine whether the first material station is short of materials. The material delivery method of the embodiment of the present application can obtain the production information of the first material station by using the materials to produce the whole machine after the materials are delivered to the first material station, and then determine whether the first material station is short of materials based on the production information.

[0053] like Figure 6 Specifically, in the above step S510, before delivering the material to the first material station, steps S610 and S620 may also be included:

[0054] Step S610, dividing the material preparation area into a plurality of sub-areas according to the type of material delivered to the first material station;

[0055] Step S620: Generate a material preparation reminder cycle for a sub-area based on the whole machine production demand of the first material station, so as to prepare materials for the sub-area in the material preparation area.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, before the materials are delivered to the first material station in the above embodiment, material preparation in a material preparation area may also be included. Specifically, the material preparation area is divided into multiple sub-areas according to the type of materials delivered to the first material station, and a material preparation reminder cycle for the sub-area is generated through the whole-machine production demand of the first material station to prepare materials for the sub-areas in the material preparation area. It should be noted that the material preparation area is divided into multiple sub-areas according to the type of materials delivered to the first material station. The division can be that a single sub-area corresponds to one material type, or multiple sub-areas correspond to one material type, thereby realizing the division of materials in the material preparation area. Then, a material preparation reminder cycle for the sub-area is generated through the whole-machine production demand of the first material station, that is, the whole-machine production demand quantity preset by the first material station. According to the material preparation reminder cycle, the sub-areas in the material preparation area can be prepared in time to avoid the problem of insufficient materials in the sub-areas of the material preparation area, so that there will be no problem of no materials delivered to the material line-side warehouse of the first material station, and the first material station corresponding to the material line-side warehouse cannot be replenished.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, specifically, in the above step S110, obtaining the production information of the first material station to determine whether the first material station is short of material can be achieved through step S710:

[0058] Step S710: Obtain the material quantity in the material line warehouse corresponding to the first material station, and determine whether the first material station is short of material based on the material quantity in the material line warehouse.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the production information is the quantity of materials in the material line warehouse, it is determined whether the first material station is short of materials based on the quantity of materials in the material line warehouse. Specifically, it is possible to directly obtain the quantity of materials in the material line warehouse corresponding to the first material station, and determine whether the first material station is short of materials based on the quantity of materials in the material line warehouse, thereby more directly determining whether the first material station is short of materials and reducing the trouble of determining whether the first material station is short of materials based on the quantity in the material line warehouse corresponding to the first material station obtained through calculation.

[0060] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, scanning points can be set correspondingly in multiple first material stations, and the production progress information of the stations can be directly obtained through the scanning points corresponding to the multiple first material stations. The production progress information of the station can be the number of materials in the material line-side warehouse of the first material station, thereby replacing the production progress information of each station calculated by the online scanning points and the laying quantity, that is, in the above embodiment, the number of complete machines in the first material station, the number of materials in the second material station, and the ratio of the number of complete machines in the first material station to the number of materials in the first material station can be obtained. The embodiment of the present application directly obtains the production progress information of the station through the scanning points corresponding to the multiple first material stations, which can more accurately capture the production progress of multiple first material stations and solve the problem of slowness of the system due to excessive calculation data.

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of material preparation progress information in an optional material preparation area provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. The material preparation area includes the material name of the material station, that is, the material type, the material code of the material station, the supplier, the quantity of materials corresponding to the material name that have been prepared, the quantity to be prepared, the quantity that has been delivered, etc. According to the above information in the material preparation area, the remaining material quantity and the issued material quantity in the sub-area of ​​the material preparation area can be clearly known intuitively and timely, thereby facilitating the preparation of materials in the sub-area of ​​the material preparation area.

[0062] like Figure 9As shown, it is a schematic diagram of material information in an optional material line-side warehouse provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. The figure shows the production line, section number, order number, order plan online time, order quantity, material code, material name, demand quantity, cumulative shipment, line-side warehouse, etc. According to the above information of the line-side warehouse, the quantity of materials in the line-side warehouse of a single material station can be known in a timely and clear manner, so that the material station with shortage of materials can be replenished in time according to the information displayed on the billboard, so as to avoid the shortage of materials at the material station leading to the shutdown of the production line where the material station is located.

[0063] According to another aspect of the embodiment of the present application, Figure 10 As shown, the embodiment of the present application further provides a material distribution device, which includes but is not limited to:

[0064] The progress acquisition module 810 acquires production information of the first material station to determine whether the first material station is short of material;

[0065] The material shortage determination module 820 determines the type of material corresponding to the first material station when it is determined that the first material station is short of material;

[0066] The material shortage distribution module 830 obtains materials of the material type corresponding to the first material station, and distributes the obtained materials to the material line side warehouse of the first material station to replenish the first material station.

[0067] It should be noted that the progress acquisition module 810 in the embodiment of the present application can be used to execute step S110 in the above embodiment, the material shortage determination module 820 in the embodiment of the present application can be used to execute step S120 in the above embodiment, and the material shortage distribution module 830 in the embodiment of the present application can be used to execute step S130 in the above embodiment.

[0068] Optionally, the progress acquisition module 810 is specifically configured to:

[0069] Obtain the production information of the first material station, and then determine whether the first material station is out of material based on the production information. The production information in the embodiment of the present application may include the number of complete machines at the first material station, the number of materials at the second material station adjacent to the first material station, the ratio of the number of complete machines at the first material station to the number of materials at the first material station, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitations on this.

[0070] Optionally, the material shortage determination module 820 is specifically configured to:

[0071] Based on the production information in the above embodiment, it is determined whether the first material station is short of material. When it is determined that the first material station is short of material, the material type of the first material station will be determined, so that materials can be distributed according to the material type of the short supply at the first material station. When it is determined that the first material station is not short of material, the material type of the first material station can be determined, or the material type of the first material station can be determined.

[0072] Optionally, the short-material distribution module 830 is specifically configured to:

[0073] Obtain materials of the corresponding material type at the first material station, and deliver the obtained materials to the material line warehouse of the first material station, so that the first material station can be replenished in time to avoid production failure of the production line where the first material station is located due to lack of materials at the first material station.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, the material distribution method can also be that the user divides the material preparation area into different sub-areas according to the material type, and a single sub-area corresponds to one material type. In a production line in the material station area, multiple material stations are divided according to the production situation, and each material station corresponds to a different material type. A correspondence between the material station and the material type, and a correspondence between the sub-area in the material preparation area and the material type are established, so as to clearly identify the type of material that is lacking when the material station is short of material, and distribute different materials to the material station corresponding to the material type of the material station, so that the material station uses the material to produce the whole machine, and the corresponding relationship between the material station and the material type is established. During the production of the whole machine at the material station, the user can maintain the safety stock of the material station to avoid the material required for the production of the whole machine at the material station exceeding the safety stock quantity, which will cause the production line where the material station is located to stop production. The material distribution method of the embodiment of the present application can also determine whether the first material station is short of material by obtaining production information. The production information may include the number of whole machines at the first material station, the number of materials at the second material station, and the ratio of the number of whole machines at the first material station to the number of materials at the first material station. The ratio is the single-machine ratio of the first material station. The first material station and the second material station are adjacent material stations on the production line. When the first material is determined for the first time based on the production information When determining whether a workstation is short of material, the quantity in the material line warehouse corresponding to a single material workstation can be calculated. Specifically, the quantity of materials in the material line warehouse is the difference between the quantity of materials at the first material workstation and the quantity of materials at the second material workstation. The quantity of materials at the first material workstation is the ratio of the number of machines at the first material workstation to the ratio of the number of machines at the first material workstation to the number of machines at the first material workstation. When it is not the first time to determine whether the first material workstation is short of material based on production information, the material line warehouses of multiple material workstations can be calculated simultaneously. Based on the quantity of materials in the material line warehouses of multiple material workstations, it can be determined whether multiple material workstations are short of material. The principle for determining whether a material workstation is short of material can be that the quantity of materials in the material line warehouse is less than that of the first material workstation. If the first material station has a safety stock quantity and the number of complete machines at the first material station is less than the production demand quantity of complete machines at the first material station, it is determined that the first material station is short of material, and the material quantity at the material station is displayed on the board, prompting an early warning message of material shortage at the first material station. According to the information of material shortage at the first material station, the user can deliver the materials corresponding to the material types of the first material station in the sub-area of ​​the material preparation area to the material line-side warehouse to replenish the first material station. The production information, material preparation information and material quantity information in the material line-side warehouse obtained by calculation of the first material station can also be displayed on the board, so that the user can see the working status of the material station on the production line more intuitively.

[0075] Specifically, the user can divide the information such as branch factories, workshops, lines, material classification codes, etc. into multiple areas according to the actual physical location of the on-site operations during the maintenance of the material preparation area. The material distribution method can obtain the production orders, corresponding production lines, order quantities, order production progress, material codes and other data arranged in chronological order for each area based on the information maintained by the user in the material preparation area, and form the material preparation progress information in the material preparation area. In the embodiment of the present application, the site is divided into different areas according to the different materials and areas in charge of the on-site sorting personnel, making it simple to display the material preparation progress information in the material preparation area and highly practical.

[0076] Specifically, users can maintain the correspondence between classification codes and each workstation according to the actual arrangement of the production line during the production line classification code workstation maintenance. A single production line will be divided into multiple material workstations according to the actual production situation. Each material workstation corresponds to different materials. By establishing a correspondence between classification codes and material workstations, the material demand situation of the material workstations where multiple orders are distributed can be effectively judged.

[0077] Specifically, the user can prepare the material at the material station in the workshop according to the material preparation progress information in the material preparation area. The user scans the tooling vehicle number, production order, and material batch, which will automatically bring out the material station corresponding to the material and guide the material preparation quantity (the minimum of the remaining demand number of the production order and the number of material batches to be allocated). The user can modify the material preparation quantity according to the actual situation, click Load (that is, confirm loading into the tooling vehicle), repeat the above actions until the vehicle is full, click Complete Material Preparation and select Print mode to complete the material preparation action. Before clicking Complete Material Preparation, the loading details can be deleted. Therefore, according to the embodiment of the present application, the material preparation (secondary sorting of materials in the workshop) and shipment (delivering prepared materials to each station) data can be collected into the system as the basis for the system to calculate the next round of data.

[0078] Specifically, users can maintain the safety inventory of each first material station and the laying quantity between stations during the line laying quantity maintenance and station safety inventory maintenance at the production line's online workstations, based on the actual quantity of materials in the material line-side warehouse corresponding to the first material station. The station safety stock is the safety inventory quantity of the first material station in the above embodiment. Safety stock refers to the minimum acceptable inventory value at the workstation. If it is lower than this value, it is considered that the quantity of materials in the corresponding material line-side warehouse is insufficient to support the efficiency of the whole machine assembly, and there may be a risk of line stoppage due to material shortage. Laying quantity refers to the number of finished machines that can be placed between two adjacent workstations. Because the production line is generally several hundred meters long, the number of finished machines on the line also needs to be considered.

[0079] Specifically, the material distribution method can calculate the material shortage of each workstation based on user maintenance information, production progress, material preparation and shipment status, etc., prompt material shortage warning information, and display it on the workstation inventory warning board. The calculation of the number of materials in the material line warehouse can be: when the project starts and the material quantity in the material line warehouse is calculated for the first time, the current scanning data of the production line is obtained, and all scanning records of the order where this scanning record is located are obtained. From the latest scanning record (X) in chronological order, the "laying quantity" scanning record (Y) is pushed forward, and the scanning quantity before Y (Z) is summarized, then the material line of each workstation in the order is calculated. The number of materials in the warehouse = cumulative shipped quantity / single machine ratio - Z; when the project is started and running stably, obtain all the online records between this scan and the last scan, and push the "laying quantity" scan record (Y) forward from the latest scan record (X) in chronological order, and summarize the number of scans before Y according to the order (assuming that the service operation this time includes two orders A1 and A2, and the summarized scan quantities are Z1 and Z2 respectively), then the number of materials in the warehouse of each material line at each workstation of order A1 = cumulative shipped quantity / single machine ratio - Z1, and the number of materials in the warehouse of each material line at each workstation of order A2 = cumulative shipped quantity / single machine ratio - Z2. It should be noted that the early warning principle of the embodiment of the present application can be: when "cumulative shipped quantity" < "demand quantity" and "cumulative shipped quantity / single machine ratio - Z" ≤ "safety stock (sets)", the data details are displayed to prompt an early warning.

[0080] Specifically, users can ship the tooling vehicle with prepared materials according to the material shortage information prompted by the workstation inventory warning board. According to the workshop shipping information, they can scan the tooling vehicle number, click Ship, and transport the materials in the vehicle to the material line warehouse. This material distribution method can calculate the data of each part in real time based on the user's material preparation and shipping status, production progress and other information, and display it on the corresponding board, and the entire business is completed.
