Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of product manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to an intelligent warehousing and circulation method, system and server. Background Technology
[0002] Current intelligent warehousing and logistics methods involve manually affixing task labels to raw materials and writing task identifiers on them to indicate the task to which the raw materials belong; or manually entering task identifiers into the radio frequency identification (RFID) chips on the raw materials to indicate the task to which the raw materials belong. However, manual data entry has a high error rate and is difficult to manage, resulting in a high error rate and low processing efficiency in the processing process. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This application provides an intelligent warehousing and circulation method, system, and server, which can solve the problems of high error rate and low processing efficiency in the processing process due to the high error rate and difficulty in management of manually entered information.
[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an intelligent warehousing and distribution method. The method is applied to an intelligent warehousing and distribution system, which includes: multiple fixtures, a material preparation device, a server, a distribution device, and a processing device. The material preparation device is equipped with an RFID reader / writer. The method includes: the server determining, based on task information of the current task, the fixtures required for the current task and at least one first raw material, and determining the correspondence between the fixtures and at least one first raw material. Each fixture is equipped with an RFID chip storing the fixture's identifier. The task information includes: the number of first raw materials, the target specifications corresponding to the first raw materials, and the current task. The task identifier; the material preparation device fixes at least one first raw material onto the fixture according to the correspondence between the fixture and at least one first raw material; the material preparation device writes the task information corresponding to the first raw material fixed on the fixture into the RFID chip of the fixture; the transfer device reads or receives the task information corresponding to at least one first raw material stored in the RFID chip of the fixture, and transfers at least one first raw material according to the task information corresponding to at least one first raw material; the processing device reads or receives the task information corresponding to at least one first raw material stored in the RFID chip of the fixture, and processes at least one first raw material according to the task information corresponding to at least one first raw material.
[0005] According to the method provided in this application, the server controls the material preparation device to fix the raw materials on the fixture equipped with an RFID chip, writes task information on the chip of the fixture, and the material preparation device, circulation device and processing device prepare, circulate and process the raw materials by identifying the task information in the fixture chip. This can avoid the problems of high error rate and low processing efficiency caused by the high error rate and difficulty in management of manual information entry.
[0006] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, after completing the current task, if there are unused first raw materials, the server can determine whether the unused first raw materials can be used in the next task based on the task information received for the next task. If they can be used, the server controls the material preparation device to write the task information for the next task into the RFID chip of the fixture that holds the first raw materials.
[0007] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, if there is an unused first raw material after the first preset time of the current task has been completed, the material preparation device can unbind the first raw material from the fixture and delete the task information corresponding to the first raw material from the RFID chip of the fixture.
[0008] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the intelligent warehousing and distribution system may further include a detection device. The detection device can perform quality checks on the processed first raw material and then send the detection result corresponding to the first raw material to the server.
[0009] According to the method provided in this application, the server controls the material preparation device to fix the raw materials onto a fixture equipped with an RFID chip. Task information is written onto the chip in the fixture. The material preparation device, transfer device, and processing device identify the task information in the fixture chip to prepare, transfer, and process the raw materials. This avoids the problems of high error rates and low processing efficiency caused by manual data entry, which is difficult to manage. Furthermore, unbinding unused raw materials from the fixture improves the fixture's utilization rate; entering the task information for the next task into the fixture and executing the next task on the raw materials further improves processing efficiency and raw material utilization.
[0010] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an intelligent warehousing and circulation method applied to a server, comprising: determining, based on task information of the current task, a fixture and at least one first raw material required for the current task, and determining the correspondence between the fixture and the at least one first raw material; wherein the fixture is equipped with an RFID chip, and the RFID chip stores the fixture's identifier; controlling a material preparation device to fix at least one first raw material onto the fixture corresponding to at least one first raw material according to the correspondence between the fixture and the at least one first raw material; controlling the material preparation device to write the task information corresponding to the first raw material fixed on the fixture into the RFID chip of the fixture; controlling a circulation device to circulate at least one first raw material according to the task information; and controlling a processing device to process at least one first raw material according to the task information.
[0011] For example, the task information may include the number of first raw materials, the target specifications corresponding to the first raw materials, and the task identifier of the current task.
[0012] For example, the material preparation device is equipped with an RFID reader / writer.
[0013] In one possible implementation of the second aspect, if there are unused first raw materials after the current task is completed, the server can determine whether the unused first raw materials can be used in the next task based on the task information of the next task. If the unused first raw materials can be used in the next task, the server can control the material preparation device to write the task information of the next task into the RFID chip of the fixture that holds the unused first raw materials.
[0014] In one possible implementation of the second aspect, if, after a first preset time period following the completion of the current task, there are unused first raw materials, the server can control the material preparation device to separate the fixture from at least one first raw material fixed on the fixture, and control the material preparation device to delete the task information corresponding to at least one first raw material from the RFID chip of the fixture. Then, the server can delete the correspondence between the fixture and at least one first raw material.
[0015] In one possible implementation of the second aspect, the server can control the detection device to perform quality detection on the at least one first raw material after processing, based on task information, and then receive the detection result of the first raw material from the detection device.
[0016] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an intelligent warehousing and circulation system, including: multiple fixtures, a server, a material preparation device, a circulation device, and a processing device. The material preparation device is equipped with an RFID reader / writer. The server is used to determine the fixtures and at least one first raw material required for the current task based on the task information of the current task, and to determine the correspondence between the fixtures and at least one first raw material. The fixtures are equipped with RFID chips, and the RFID chips store the fixture's identifier. The material preparation device is used to fix at least one first raw material onto the fixture according to the correspondence between the fixture and the at least one first raw material. The material preparation device is also used to write the task information corresponding to the first raw material fixed on the fixture into the RFID chip of the fixture. The circulation device is used to read or receive the task information corresponding to at least one first raw material stored in the RFID chip of the fixture, and to circulate at least one first raw material according to the task information corresponding to at least one first raw material. The processing device is used to read or receive the task information corresponding to at least one first raw material stored in the RFID chip of the fixture, and to process at least one first raw material according to the task information corresponding to at least one first raw material.
[0017] For example, the task information may include the number of first raw materials, the target specifications corresponding to the first raw materials, and the task identifier of the current task.
[0018] In one possible implementation of the third aspect, if there are unused first raw materials after the current task is completed, the server can determine whether the unused first raw materials can be used in the next task based on the task information of the next task. If so, the server can control the material preparation device to write the task information of the next task onto the fixture that holds the unused first raw materials.
[0019] In one possible implementation of the third aspect, if there is an unused first raw material within a first preset time after the current task is completed, the material preparation device can separate the fixture and at least one first raw material fixed on the fixture, and delete the task information corresponding to at least one first raw material on the RFID chip of the fixture.
[0020] In one possible implementation of the third aspect, the intelligent warehousing and distribution system may further include a detection device. The detection device can be used to perform quality inspection on at least one first raw material after processing, and send the inspection result of the at least one first raw material to a server.
[0021] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a server, including a processing unit; the processing unit can be used to: determine, based on the task information of the current task, the fixture and at least one first raw material required for the current task, and determine the correspondence between the fixture and at least one first raw material, wherein the fixture is provided with an RFID chip, and the RFID chip stores the fixture's identifier; control a material preparation device to fix at least one first raw material onto the fixture corresponding to at least one first raw material according to the correspondence between the fixture and at least one first raw material; control the material preparation device to write the task information corresponding to the first raw material fixed on the fixture into the RFID chip of the fixture; control a transfer device to transfer at least one first raw material according to the task information; and control a processing device to process at least one first raw material according to the task information.
[0022] For example, the task information may include the number of first raw materials, the target specifications corresponding to the first raw materials, and the task identifier of the current task.
[0023] For example, the material preparation device is equipped with an RFID reader / writer.
[0024] In one possible implementation of the fourth aspect, the server may further include a transceiver unit. If, after the current task is completed, there are unused first raw materials, the processing unit may further be used to: determine, based on the task information of the next task, whether the unused first raw materials can be used in the next task. If the unused first raw materials can be used in the next task, the transceiver unit may be used to send a first instruction to the material preparation device. For example, the first instruction may be used to instruct the material preparation device to write the task information of the next task into the RFID chip of the fixture holding the unused first raw materials.
[0025] In one possible implementation of the fourth aspect, if there are unused first raw materials after a first preset time period following the completion of the current task, the transceiver unit can send a third instruction to the material preparation device. Then, the processing unit can delete the correspondence between the fixture and at least one first raw material.
[0026] For example, the third instruction is used to instruct the material preparation device to delete task information corresponding to at least one first raw material from the RFID chip of the fixture.
[0027] In one possible implementation of the fourth aspect, the processing unit can also be used to control the detection device to perform quality detection on the at least one first raw material after processing. The transceiver unit can then be used to receive the detection result of the first raw material from the detection device.

[0047] Figure 1 This application illustrates an intelligent warehousing and distribution method 100, which can be applied to an intelligent warehousing and distribution system. The intelligent warehousing and distribution system may include a material preparation device, a server, a distribution device, and a processing device. The material preparation device is equipped with an RFID reader / writer. As an example and not a limitation, method 100 may include steps S101-S106. Steps S101-S106 are described below.
[0048] S101, the server determines the fixture and at least one first raw material required for the current task based on the task information of the current task, and determines the correspondence between the fixture and at least one first raw material.
[0049] For example, the server can be connected to the material preparation device, processing device and circulation device via wired or wireless means and transmit information.
[0050] For example, the server can store the specifications of all fixtures and all primary raw materials in the intelligent warehousing and distribution system.
[0051] In one possible implementation, the task information may include the quantity of the first raw material, the target specification of the first raw material, and the task identifier of the current task. The user can input the quantity of the first raw material required for the current task and the target specification of the first raw material; accordingly, the server obtains the task information for the current task. Then, based on the task information, the server determines the correspondence between the fixture and the first raw material and saves this correspondence as relevant information for the current task. The server can then control a transfer robot in the transfer device to retrieve the fixture and first raw material required for the current task from the intelligent warehouse and transport them to the location of the material preparation device. The server sends a first instruction to the material preparation device.
[0052] For example, the first instruction is used to instruct the material preparation device to fix the first material on the clamp corresponding to the first material according to the correspondence between the clamp and the first material.
[0053] For example, the target specification of the first raw material is the specification that the first raw material should achieve after processing.
[0054] For example, if the current task requires 50 pieces of raw material, such as copper billets, and the target size of the raw material is 30mm×30mm×50mm, then the server can control the transfer robot to retrieve raw materials with a size greater than or equal to 30mm×30mm×50mm from the smart warehouse, such as raw materials with a size of 30mm×30mm×55mm.
[0055] In one example, to avoid insufficient finished products due to loss or substandard processing during the transfer and processing of the first raw material, the number of the first raw materials taken out from the smart warehouse can be greater than the number of the first raw materials in the task information of the current task.
[0056] For example, at least one first raw material can be fixed on each clamp.
[0057] In another possible implementation, the task information may also include instructions for specific processing steps obtained by the server based on the specifications of the first raw material, the target specifications corresponding to the first raw material, and the processing flow corresponding to the first raw material. For example, this could include the identifier of the device performing the processing or transfer operation and the instructions corresponding to the operation to be performed by each device. When a device receives the instruction, it can perform the operation corresponding to that instruction on the first raw material. The user can send the processing flow corresponding to the first raw material to the server, such as electrode cleaning, electrode polishing, CNC machining of the electrode material, electrical discharge machining, etc., and the server will correspondingly obtain the processing flow corresponding to the first raw material.
[0058] S102, the server sends the first instruction to the material preparation device.
[0059] For example, the first instruction is used to instruct the material preparation device to fix the first material on the clamp corresponding to the first material according to the correspondence between the clamp and the first material.
[0060] S103, the material preparation device fixes at least one first raw material on the clamp according to the correspondence between the clamp and the first raw material.
[0061] For example, if the current task requires 48 pieces of raw material with dimensions of 30mm×30mm×50mm and 2 pieces of raw material with dimensions of 40mm×30mm×50mm, the server can control a transfer robot to retrieve 48 pieces of raw material with dimensions of 30mm×30mm×57mm and 2 pieces of raw material with dimensions of 40mm×30mm×55mm from the intelligent warehouse, along with 12 clamps with dimensions of 30mm×30mm and 2 clamps with dimensions of 40mm×30mm. The 30mm×30mm clamps can hold 4 pieces of raw material, and the 40mm×30mm clamps can hold 1 piece of raw material. The material preparation equipment can then fix the raw material onto the clamps according to the correspondence between the clamps and the raw material.
[0062] S104, the material preparation device writes the task information corresponding to the first raw material fixed on the fixture into the RFID chip of the fixture.
[0063] In one example, the material preparation device can receive a second instruction from the server, which instructs the device to write the task information corresponding to the first raw material into the RFID chip of the fixture. Then, the device can write the task identifier of the current task into the RFID chip of the fixture according to the second instruction.
[0064] For example, a first raw material with dimensions of 30mm × 30mm × 57mm needs to be cut to achieve the target dimensions of 30mm × 30mm × 50mm before undergoing electrical discharge machining (EDM). The material preparation device writes a task identifier onto the RFID tag of the fixture. When the first transfer device reads or receives this task identifier and sends it to the server, the server can send a first transfer instruction to the first transfer device, instructing it to transport the first raw material to the location of the corresponding cutting processing device. When the cutting device reads the identifier and sends it to the server, the server can send a first processing instruction to the cutting device, instructing it to cut the first raw material to the target dimensions. Similarly, the server sends a second transfer instruction to a second transfer device, instructing it to transport the first raw material of the target dimensions to the location of the EDM device. The server then sends a second processing instruction to the EDM device, instructing it to perform EDM on the first raw material of the target dimensions.
[0065] In another example, the second instruction can also be used to instruct the material preparation device to write the task identifier of the current task, as well as the instructions corresponding to the operations that each device in the processing flow should perform, into the RFID chip.
[0066] For example, the material preparation device writes the task identifier of the current task, the first transfer instruction, the first processing instruction, the second transfer instruction, and the second processing instruction into the RFID chip of the fixture according to the second instruction.
[0067] S105, the transfer device reads or receives the task information from the RFID chip of the fixture, and transfers the first raw material according to the task information.
[0068] In one possible implementation, the transfer device can be equipped with an RFID reader, which can read the task information from the RFID chip in the fixture.
[0069] In another possible implementation, the transfer device can receive task information from the RFID chip of the fixture read by other devices equipped with RFID readers, or receive task information from the RFID chip of the fixture from a server.
[0070] In one example, after the transfer device reads the task identifier from the RFID chip of the fixture, it can send the task identifier to the server. The server can then send a corresponding transfer instruction to the transfer device based on the identifier of the transfer device that sent the task identifier and the task information, such as the first transfer instruction in the example above.
[0071] In another example, if the RFID chip of the fixture contains instructions corresponding to the operation that the transfer device should perform, such as a first transfer instruction, then the transfer device can directly transfer the first raw material according to the instruction. For example, according to the first transfer instruction, the first raw material can be transported to the location of the corresponding cutting processing device.
[0072] S106, the processing device reads or receives the task information from the RFID chip of the fixture, and processes the first raw material according to the task information.
[0073] In one possible implementation, the processing device can be equipped with an RFID reader, which can read the task information from the RFID chip of the fixture.
[0074] In another possible implementation, the processing device may also receive task information from the RFID chip of the fixture read by other devices equipped with RFID readers, or receive task information from the RFID chip of the fixture from a server.
[0075] For example, the processing device may be a computer numerical control machine tool.
[0076] In one example, after the processing device reads the task identifier from the RFID chip of the fixture, it can send the task identifier to the server. The server can then send corresponding processing instructions to the processing device based on the identifier of the processing device that sent the task identifier and the task information, such as the first processing instruction in the example above.
[0077] In another example, if the RFID chip of the fixture contains instructions corresponding to the operation that the processing device should perform, such as a first processing instruction, then the transfer device can directly process the first raw material according to the instruction. For example, according to the first processing instruction, the cutting device cuts the first raw material to the target specification.
[0078] According to the method provided in this application, the server controls the material preparation device to fix the raw materials on the fixture equipped with an RFID chip, writes task information on the chip of the fixture, and the material preparation device, circulation device and processing device read the task information in the fixture chip to prepare, circulate and process the raw materials. This can avoid the problems of high error rate and low processing efficiency caused by the high error rate and difficulty in management of manual information entry.
[0079] Figure 2 This paper illustrates an intelligent warehousing and logistics method provided by an embodiment of this application. Method 200 can also be applied to an intelligent warehousing and logistics system. Method 200 is a possible specific implementation of method 100. As an example and not a limitation, method 200 may include steps S201-S213. Steps S201-S213 are described below.
[0080] S201, the server determines the fixture and at least one first raw material required for the current task based on the task information of the current task, and determines the correspondence between the fixture and at least one first raw material.
[0081] S202, the server sends the first instruction to the material preparation device.
[0082] S203, the material preparation device fixes at least one first raw material on the fixture according to the correspondence between the fixture and the first raw material.
[0083] S204, the material preparation device writes the task information corresponding to the first raw material fixed on the fixture into the RFID chip of the fixture.
[0084] S205, the transfer device reads or receives the task information from the RFID chip of the fixture, and transfers the first raw material according to the task information.
[0085] S206, the processing device reads or receives the task information from the RFID chip of the fixture, and processes the first raw material according to the task information.
[0086] The contents of steps S201-S206 are the same as those of steps S101-S106 in method 100. Please refer to the description of S101-S106 in method 100 for details, which will not be repeated here.
[0087] S207, the testing device performs quality testing on the first raw material after processing.
[0088] S208, the detection device sends the detection results of the first raw material to the server.
[0089] Optionally, the intelligent warehousing and distribution system may also include detection devices.
[0090] For example, the detection device may be equipped with an RFID reader.
[0091] For example, after processing is complete, the testing device can perform quality testing on the first raw material and then send the test results to the server. Accordingly, the server receives and stores the test results corresponding to the first raw material. If the quality of the first raw material is qualified, it can be released as a finished product or proceed to the next processing stage. If the quality of the first raw material is unqualified, it will not be used in subsequent processing steps of this task.
[0092] S209, The server determines whether there is a first raw material that has not been used.
[0093] For example, if after the current task is completed, there are still first raw materials fixed on the fixture that have not been used, that is, there are first raw materials that are not up to standard, or there are excess first raw materials that are up to standard, then step S210 can be performed.
[0094] S210, the server determines whether the unused first raw material can be used in the next task.
[0095] Optionally, the server can determine whether the first raw material can be used in the next task based on the detection results of the first raw material sent by the detection device and the task information of the next task.
[0096] In one example, if the unused first raw material can be used in the next task, then step S211 can be performed.
[0097] For example, after the current task is completed, the first raw material has a size of 30mm×30mm×50mm, and the target size of the first raw material in the next task is 30mm×30mm×45mm.
[0098] In another example, if the first raw material in the current task cannot be used in the next task, it can be stored in a smart warehouse until it becomes available for use in a subsequent task. This improves the utilization rate of the fixture and the first raw material.
[0099] In another example, if the first raw material in the current task cannot be used in the next task, step S212 can be performed to determine whether it has been used after a preset time.
[0100] S211, the material preparation device writes the task information for the next task onto the RFID chip of the fixture that holds the first raw material that has not been used.
[0101] For example, if the first raw material can be used in the next task, the material preparation device can delete the task information of the current task corresponding to the first raw material stored in the RFID chip of the fixture, and write the task information of the first raw material corresponding to the next task.
[0102] S212, the server determines whether there is a first raw material that has not been used after a first preset time period following the completion of the current task.
[0103] For example, if there is still unused first raw material after the first preset time period of the current task has been completed, step S213 can be performed to separate the fixture from the first raw material. The correspondence between the first raw material and the fixture stored in the server is deleted. Then the fixture is transferred to the intelligent warehouse, and the first raw material is scrapped.
[0104] S213, the material preparation device separates the fixture and at least one first raw material fixed on the fixture, and deletes the task information corresponding to the first raw material from the RFID chip of the fixture.
[0105] According to the method provided in this application, the server controls the material preparation device to fix the raw materials onto a fixture equipped with an RFID chip. Task information is written onto the chip in the fixture. The material preparation device, transfer device, and processing device identify the task information in the fixture chip to prepare, transfer, and process the raw materials. This avoids the problems of high error rates and low processing efficiency caused by manual data entry, which is difficult to manage. Furthermore, unbinding unused raw materials from the fixture improves the fixture's utilization rate; entering the task information for the next task into the fixture and executing the next task on the raw materials further improves processing efficiency and raw material utilization.
[0106] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution.

[0107] Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of an intelligent warehousing and circulation method according to an embodiment of this application. Method 300 can be applied to a server. As an example and not a limitation, method 300 may include steps S301-S305. Steps S301-S305 are described below.

[0111] S304, based on the task information, control the transfer device to transfer at least one first raw material.
[0112] S305, based on the task information, control the processing device to process at least one first raw material.
[0113] The contents of steps S301-S305 in method 300 are the same as those of steps S201-S206 in method 100. Please refer to the relevant description in method 100 for details, which will not be repeated here.
[0114] According to the method provided in this application, the server controls the material preparation device to fix the raw materials on the fixture equipped with an RFID chip, writes task information on the chip of the fixture, and the material preparation device, circulation device and processing device prepare, circulate and process the raw materials by identifying the task information in the fixture chip. This can avoid the problems of high error rate and low processing efficiency caused by the high error rate and difficulty in management of manual information entry.
[0115] Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the structure of an intelligent warehousing and distribution system according to an embodiment of this application. As an example and not a limitation, system 400 may include multiple fixtures, a server 410, a material preparation device 420, a distribution device 430, and a processing device 440.
[0116] For example, the fixture is equipped with an RFID chip.
[0117] For example, the material preparation device 420 is equipped with an RFID reader.
[0118] Server 410 can be used to determine the fixture and at least one first raw material required for the current task based on the task information of the current task, and to determine the correspondence between the fixture and at least one first raw material.
[0119] For example, the task information may include: the number of first raw materials, the target specifications corresponding to the first raw materials, and the task identifier of the current task.
[0120] The material preparation device 420 can be used to fix at least one first raw material onto the fixture according to the correspondence between the fixture and at least one first raw material. Then, the task information corresponding to the first raw material is written into the RFID chip on the fixture.
[0121] The transfer device 430 and the processing device 440 can read or receive the task information corresponding to the first raw material stored in the RFID chip of the fixture. Then, the first raw material is processed according to the task identifier corresponding to the first raw material.
[0122] For example, RFID readers and / or communication devices may be provided on the transfer device 430 and the processing device 440.
[0123] In one example, if there is unused first raw material after the current task is completed, the server 410 can determine whether the unused first raw material can be used in the next task based on the task information of the next task. If so, the server 410 can control the material preparation device 420 to write the task information of the next task onto the fixture that holds the unused first raw material.
[0124] In one example, if there is an unused first raw material after a first preset time period following the completion of the current task, the material preparation device 420 can separate the fixture and at least one first raw material fixed on the fixture, and delete the task information corresponding to at least one first raw material from the RFID chip of the fixture.
[0125] In one example, the intelligent warehousing and distribution system 400 may also include a detection device. The detection device can be used to perform quality inspection on at least one first raw material after processing and send the inspection results to the server 410.
[0126] For example, the detection device may be equipped with an RFID reader and / or a communication device.
[0127] According to the system provided in this application, the server controls the material preparation device to fix the raw materials on the fixture equipped with RFID chips, writes task information on the chip of the fixture, and the material preparation device, circulation device and processing device prepare, circulate and process the raw materials by identifying the task information in the fixture chip. This can avoid the problems of high error rate and low processing efficiency caused by the high error rate and difficulty in management of manual information entry.
[0128] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a server structure provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. By way of example and not limitation, the server 500 may include a processing unit 510.
[0129] The processing unit 510 can be used to: determine the fixture and at least one first raw material required for the current task based on the task information of the current task, and determine the correspondence between the fixture and the at least one first raw material, wherein the fixture is equipped with an RFID chip and the RFID chip stores the fixture's identifier; control the material preparation device to fix at least one first raw material onto the fixture corresponding to at least one first raw material according to the correspondence between the fixture and the at least one first raw material; control the material preparation device to write the task information corresponding to the first raw material fixed on the fixture into the RFID chip of the fixture; control the circulation device to circulate at least one first raw material according to the task information; and control the processing device to process at least one first raw material according to the task information.
[0130] For example, the task information may include the number of first raw materials, the target specifications corresponding to the first raw materials, and the task identifier of the current task.
[0131] For example, the material preparation device is equipped with an RFID reader / writer.
[0132] In one example, the server may further include a transceiver unit 520. If, after the current task is completed, there are unused first raw materials, the processing unit 510 may further be used to: determine, based on the task information of the next task, whether the unused first raw materials can be used in the next task. If the unused first raw materials can be used in the next task, the transceiver unit 520 may be used to send a first instruction to the material preparation device. For example, the first instruction may be used to instruct the material preparation device to write the task information of the next task into the RFID chip of the fixture holding the unused first raw materials.
[0133] In one example, if there are unused first raw materials after a first preset time period following the completion of the current task, the transceiver unit 520 can send a third instruction to the material preparation device. Then, the processing unit 510 can delete the correspondence between the fixture and at least one first raw material.
[0134] For example, the third instruction is used to instruct the material preparation device to delete task information corresponding to at least one first raw material from the RFID chip of the fixture.
[0135] In one example, the processing unit 510 can also be used to control the detection device to perform quality detection on the at least one first raw material after processing. Then, the transceiver unit 520 can also be used to receive the detection result of the first raw material from the detection device.
[0136] According to the server provided in this application, the raw materials are fixed on the RFID chip fixture by controlling the material preparation device, and task information is written on the chip of the fixture. The material preparation device, the circulation device and the processing device prepare, circulate and process the raw materials by identifying the task information in the fixture chip. This can avoid the problems of high error rate and low processing efficiency caused by the high error rate and difficulty in management of manual information entry.
