[0051] The production execution machine operation data at least includes status data. The status data is boolean data. For example, when the status data is "0", it indicates that the production execution machine is in a normal state, and when the status data is "1", it indicates that the production execution machine is in a fault state.

[0052] The production execution machine operation data may also include the temperature data of the production execution machine, the power consumption data of the production execution machine, and the running time of the production execution machine.

[0054] That is to say, an algorithm model is provided in the edge computing device, which can process the production data collected from the workstations in real time and adjust the production process of the production line.

[0055] In specific implementation, the first analysis model includes a surface defect analysis sub-model and a performance analysis sub-model. Input the image data of the products at the workstation collected from the workstation into the surface defect analysis sub-model for analysis and prediction to detect whether there are surface defects in the products at the workstation, that is, to detect whether there are defects such as cracks, depressions, foreign objects, etc. in the products at the workstation, and obtain the surface defect analysis results. Input the sensing data of the products at the workstation collected from the workstation into the performance analysis sub-model for analysis and prediction to detect whether there are performance defects in the products at the workstation, and obtain the performance analysis results. Adjust the production process of the production line according to the obtained surface defect analysis results and performance analysis results. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, production data can be collected from each workstation in real time, so that the production process of the production line can be adjusted in real time according to the collected production data, thereby realizing the control of the production process and solving the problem of discrete production processes of the existing production lines.
