[0009] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0010] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides an intelligent manufacturing platform, which includes a warehousing system, a material distribution AGV, an intelligent manufacturing conveyor line, a central console and a packaging station. The intelligent manufacturing conveyor line consists of a conveyor line, a six-axis robot, a four-axis robot and a visual recognition module. The conveyor line includes a first station, a second station and a third station.

[0011] Among them: the storage system is used to store materials, and record and manage materials, user information, etc.;

[0012] Material distribution AGV is used to distribute materials and transport products between the storage system and the conveyor line;

[0013] The intelligent manufacturing conveyor line consists of a conveyor line, a six-axis robot, a four-axis robot, a visual recognition system, etc.

[0014] The conveyor line is divided into 3 stations, the first station is the dispensing assembly station, the second station is the manual assembly station, and the third station is the inspection station;

[0015] The central console is used to arrange orders and monitor the production information and task status of each subsystem.

[0016] Pallets are stored in the warehousing system. The material distribution AGV is connected to the warehousing system to transport pallets from the warehousing system to the intelligent manufacturing conveyor line. The material distribution AGV stores the pallet data information into the RF tag through the reader / writer, and the data is transmitted to the MES.

[0017] MES assigns tasks to automated production lines.

[0018] The material distribution AGV transports the pallet to the intelligent manufacturing conveyor line. The pallet moves with the production line to the first station. The proximity switch senses the pallet, and the lifting mechanism lifts the pallet. The robot picks up material A and puts it on the pallet. The robot performs glue dispensing and then uses the visual recognition system to detect the position of material B. The robot then feeds back a signal to its collaborative robot. The robot tracks the material and grabs material B and installs it at the glue dispensing location. After completion, the lifting mechanism descends and the stop mechanism releases the robot.

[0019] The pallet moves along the production line to the second station. The proximity switch senses the pallet, and the lifting mechanism lifts the pallet. The MES system assigns an order to the second station, the light of material C turns on, and workers manually pick up the parts to be assembled and material C to perform assembly operations. After completion, the assembly is returned to its original location and the pallet is released.

[0020] The pallet moves with the production line to the third workstation. The proximity switch senses the pallet, and the lifting mechanism lifts the pallet. The six-axis robot carrying the camera moves above the material, takes pictures and transmits them to the visual server. The visual inspection system feeds back signals to the robot. If the assembly is correct, the production line is released; if the assembly is NG, the robot clamps the workpiece to the waste area.

[0021] The pallet moves to the unloading area, and the MES assigns tasks to the AGV. The AGV moves to the unloading area, docks with the belt line, transports the assembled materials to the manual packaging area, and transports the empty pallet to the warehouse. A reader is set at the front end of the warehouse belt line to read the RF information of the pallet and store the information in the warehouse's WMS system.

[0022] As a supplement, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the MES system is the management system of the execution layer, connecting the WMS, FMS, and ADS systems. WMS is a warehouse management system, FMS is a manufacturing line management system, and ADS is an AGV management system. Its software is developed through the host computer and combined with servers, databases, etc. to realize the planning and scheduling, real-time tracking, scheduling, data collection and analysis functions of the manufacturing system. PLC is the main control unit of the control layer. According to the needs of production, storage, control, etc., it uses TCP / IP protocol to realize communication with the equipment, directly or indirectly collects data, and thus realizes the control function of the equipment. The implementation layer is composed of various automation equipment, which are connected according to production needs, and the equipment cooperates with each other to complete the processing tasks of the system.

[0023] The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to the professional and technical personnel in the field. The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. The technical personnel in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can make various modifications or supplements to the specific embodiments described or replace them in a similar manner, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the attached claims.
