After stopping, workers adjust each machine individually to prepare it for the next task. This includes changing yarn or adjusting parameters according to the requirements of the next task. However, when many machines are stopped simultaneously, workers require a considerable amount of time to adjust them. This results in prolonged downtime and short working time, leading to lower production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0059] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0060] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0061] To facilitate understanding, let's first combine Figure 1 The application scenarios provided in the embodiments of this application are described. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario provided by an embodiment of this application. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 This includes a task list and multiple production devices. For example, the production devices include production device 1, production device 2, ..., production device N.

[0062] The task list can be a production task list for the workshop. The task list includes multiple production tasks such as Production Task 1, Production Task 2, etc. Multiple production machines sequentially complete the production tasks in the task list. For example, a production machine can first complete Production Task 1, and then sequentially complete the other production tasks in the task list.

[0063] Different production tasks typically have different requirements for production resources such as yarn and equipment parameters. When production task 1 is completed, N production machines need to be paused to allow workers to replace the yarn and adjust the equipment parameters. Due to the large number of production machines, workers need a considerable amount of time to complete yarn replacement and parameter adjustments after a production task is finished. This results in prolonged downtime and consequently, lower production efficiency.

[0064] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the equipment control method provided in this application involves gradually pausing N production devices performing the same production task at fixed time intervals. That is, multiple production devices pause at different times to allow workers to adjust them. For example, N production devices performing the same task can pause gradually at fixed time intervals. During these intervals, workers can perform tasks such as changing yarn and adjusting equipment parameters. After the current production task is completed, workers only need to adjust the last paused production device. All production devices can then begin the next production task in a short time. This method reduces equipment downtime, increases working time, and improves production efficiency.

[0065] The technical solutions of this application will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0066] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a device control method provided in an embodiment of this application. The executing entity in this embodiment can be a device control unit or a device control system within the device control unit. The following description uses a device control unit as an example. Please refer to... Figure 2 The method may include:

[0067] S201. Determine the equipment information corresponding to the first task. The equipment information includes the number of production equipment N, the production efficiency of the production equipment, and the production equipment is used to produce M objects corresponding to the first task. M and N are integers greater than 1.

[0068] The first task can be the production task that N production devices are currently completing.

[0069] The M objects corresponding to the first task are used to indicate the total number of objects required by the first task. That is, the total number of objects required by the first task is M.

[0070] The production efficiency of the production equipment is the average production efficiency of all the production equipment that completed the first task.

[0071] In this embodiment, the equipment control device can be a server. The server can deploy an equipment control system. For example, the equipment control system can be a smart factory system. The equipment control system can provide data acquisition services for the first task. The data acquisition services include real-time acquisition of the production quantity of each production device and calculation of the real-time production efficiency of the production device.

[0072] For example, suppose N production machines are completing the first task. The equipment control system collects data showing that the output of these N production machines in a minute is b units. Then the production efficiency of the production equipment is b / aN.

[0073] S202. Determine the target remaining object quantity based on the equipment information and the preset time interval.

[0074] In this embodiment, N production devices gradually pause operation at fixed time intervals. The time interval is the duration between the pauses of two consecutive paused production devices. The server can pre-set the time interval for each production task. The time interval for each production task is fixed.

[0075] For example, suppose N production machines are completing a first task. Production machine 1 stops working at time t1, and production machine 2 stops working at time t2. Production machines 1 and 2 are continuously suspended. Then the time interval for the first task is |t2-t1|.

[0076] The target remaining quantity of production objects is the quantity of production objects remaining in the current production task when production equipment begins to gradually stop operating. From the start of the first production equipment shutdown to the end of the last production equipment shutdown, the total quantity of production objects across all production equipment equals the target remaining quantity of production objects. In other words, the target remaining quantity of production objects is the total quantity of production objects across all production equipment during the gradual shutdown process.

[0077] Specifically, the target remaining object quantity can be determined using the following formula: Where N is the number of production equipment corresponding to the first task.

[0078] In this embodiment of the application, during the production process of the first task, the equipment control system can periodically calculate the remaining quantity of the target object and replace the previous calculation result with the latest calculation result to ensure the real-time performance and accuracy of the calculation result.

[0079] Specifically, the equipment control system can provide a timed service for the first task. This timed service includes periodically calculating the remaining target object quantity. The timing of this service can be set according to actual needs. For example, the timed service can be set to 30 minutes, meaning the equipment control system calculates the remaining target object quantity every 30 minutes and uses the latest calculation result as the remaining target object quantity for the first task.

[0080] S203. Determine the actual remaining quantity of objects based on M and the quantity of objects already produced by each production equipment.

[0081] M represents the total number of objects to be produced as required by the first task.

[0082] The actual remaining object quantity is used to indicate the amount of objects that have not yet been produced in the first task.

[0083] In this embodiment, the equipment control system can collect the amount of objects produced by each device in real time. Therefore, the actual remaining amount of objects is M minus the amount of objects produced by all production devices.

[0084] S204. When the actual remaining quantity of objects equals the target remaining quantity of objects, control the first production equipment in the production equipment to suspend operation.

[0085] The first production equipment refers to the production equipment that is the first to stop working among N production equipment. It should be understood that the number of first production equipment is one.

[0086] As mentioned above, the target remaining quantity of materials is the total quantity of materials produced by all production equipment during the gradual shutdown process. Therefore, when the actual remaining quantity of materials equals the target remaining quantity, the first production equipment suspends operation.

[0087] S205. According to the time interval, control N-1 second production equipment to stop working in sequence. N-1 second production equipment are the other production equipment among the N production equipment besides the first production equipment.

[0088] In this embodiment of the application, after the first production equipment stops working, the equipment control system sends a stop work notification to N-1 second production equipment in sequence according to a preset time interval.

[0089] For example, suppose the time interval of the first task is t, and the first production equipment stops working at time t0. Then the stop times corresponding to the N-1 second production equipment are shown in Table 1:

[0090] Table 1

[0091] Second production equipment Work stoppage First second production equipment <![CDATA[t0+t]]> The second production equipment <![CDATA[t0+2t]]> …… …… The (N-2)th second production equipment <![CDATA[t0+(N-2)t]]> The (N-1)th second production equipment <![CDATA[t0+(N-1)t]]>

[0092] The equipment control method provided in this application determines the target remaining object quantity based on M objects corresponding to a first task, the number N of production equipment corresponding to the first task, the production efficiency of the production equipment, and a preset time interval for the first task. The actual remaining object quantity is determined based on M and the quantity of objects already produced by each production equipment. When the actual remaining object quantity equals the target remaining object quantity, the first production equipment is controlled to suspend operation. Based on the time interval, N-1 second production equipment are sequentially controlled to suspend operation. In this process, the N production equipment suspends operation sequentially according to fixed time intervals, reducing the downtime of the production equipment and improving production efficiency.

[0093] Based on any of the above embodiments, the following, in conjunction with Figure 3 The device control method shown in this application will be further described in detail.

[0094] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another device control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Please refer to... Figure 3 The method may include:

[0095] S301. Determine the equipment information corresponding to the first task. The equipment information includes the number of production equipment N, the production efficiency of the production equipment, and the production equipment is used to produce M objects corresponding to the first task. M and N are integers greater than 1.

[0096] S302. Determine the target remaining object quantity based on the equipment information and the preset time interval.

[0097] S303. Determine the actual remaining quantity of objects based on M and the quantity of objects already produced by each production equipment.

[0098] S304. When the actual remaining quantity of objects equals the target remaining quantity of objects, control the first production equipment in the production equipment to suspend operation.

[0099] It should be noted that the execution process of S301-S304 can be found in the execution process of S201-S204, and will not be repeated here.

[0100] S305. Determine the pause sequence for N-1 secondary production equipment.

[0101] It should be understood that the equipment control system can pre-number all production equipment corresponding to the first task. For example, the production equipment can be numbered sequentially according to its installation location. When the first production equipment stops working, the equipment control system can send a stop-work notification to N-1 second production equipment in sequence, based on the second production equipment's number.

[0102] S306. For the first N-2 second production equipment, control the second production equipment to stop working sequentially according to the time interval and the pause order.

[0103] As described above, the equipment control system can sequentially control the second production equipment to suspend operation based on its number. Specifically, for the first N-2 second production equipment, after controlling the first production equipment to suspend operation, it waits for i time intervals before controlling the i-th second production equipment to suspend operation. Here, i takes values ​​of 1, 2, ..., N-2. That is, after the first production equipment suspends operation, the equipment control system sends a suspension notification to the i-th second production equipment every i time intervals. This continues until the N-1-th second production equipment (the last second production equipment) is still operating.

[0104] S307. For the (N-1)th second production equipment, based on the time interval and the actual production end time of the M objects, control the (N-1)th second production equipment to suspend operation.

[0105] In this embodiment, the first production equipment suspends operation when the actual remaining quantity of objects equals the target remaining quantity of objects. The total quantity of objects produced during the gradual shutdown of all production equipment is the target remaining quantity. That is, after all production equipment suspends operation at time intervals, the total quantity of objects required for the first task is produced exactly at the end of the process. However, production errors may exist in actual production. Specifically, the actual end time of production may be earlier or later than the calculated suspension time of the (N-1)th second production equipment. Therefore, the suspension time of the (N-1)th second production equipment should be determined based on the actual end time of production.

[0106] Specifically, the N-1th second production equipment can be stopped in the following way: the first stop time is determined based on the stop time and time interval of the N-2th second production equipment; if the actual production end time is earlier than the first stop time, the N-1th second production equipment is stopped at the actual production end time; if the actual production end time is equal to or later than the first stop time, the N-1th second production equipment is stopped at the first stop time.

[0107] The first pause time refers to the time when the (N-1)th second production device should stop operating, calculated based on the time interval. For example, suppose the first production device stops operating at time t, and the time interval is t. Then the first pause time is t0+(N-1)t.

[0108] The actual production completion time refers to the moment when the production equipment actually completes the total amount of production required for the first task.

[0109] For example, suppose there is an error in the actual production process of the production equipment, causing the actual production end time to be earlier than the first pause time. Then, the equipment control system sends a pause notification to the (N-1)th second production equipment at the actual production end time. Suppose the production equipment malfunctions, causing it to fail to complete the total production quantity of the first task at the first pause time. Then, the equipment control system sends a pause notification to the (N-1)th second production equipment at the first pause time.

[0110] The equipment control method provided in this application suspends the operation of the first production equipment when the actual remaining quantity of objects equals the target remaining quantity of objects. For the first N-2 second production equipment units, the second production equipment is suspended sequentially according to the suspension order and time interval. For the N-1th second production equipment, the suspension is controlled based on the time interval and the actual production end time of M objects. In this process, the production equipment is suspended sequentially according to the time interval and the actual production end time, reducing the downtime of the production equipment and improving production efficiency.

The equipment information includes the number of production equipment N and the production efficiency of the production equipment.

[0116] The second control module 15 is used to sequentially control N-1 second production devices to suspend operation according to the time interval, wherein the N-1 second production devices are the other production devices among the N production devices besides the first production device.

[0130] If the actual production end time is equal to or later than the first pause time, then the (N-1)th second production equipment is paused at the first pause time.
