For example, the laser sensor 110 can be positioned on one side of the bottling production line to detect bottles or boxes using infrared laser light. The controller 120 can be used to obtain the real-time quantity of bottles or boxes based on the detection data from the laser sensor. The controller 120 is the core of the monitoring system for computation and control, and is the execution unit for information processing and program execution.

The internet platform can be used to generate the overall equipment efficiency of the bottling production line based on the real-time quantity recorded by the controller, and based on the maximum verification speed, shift data, batch data, date data, and / or production line data. The maximum verification speed represents the maximum production speed of the bottling production line, and the overall equipment efficiency is represented as running time / predetermined time. An internet platform can be a network cluster of multiple cloud servers, which can interact with each other via an interconnected network to exchange data and information. For example, an internet platform may include an application software server (BES App Svr) 140, an enterprise service bus (ESB Svr) 150, an elastic cloud server (ESC Svr) 160, an application server (OEE App Svr) 170, and a data server (OEE DB Svr) 180. The application software server 140 interacts with the controller 120 via a software application program (OPC Svr) 130, which can be a programmable logic controller (PLC). The application server 170 communicates with the shop floor client (OEE Client) 190 and the data presentation client 1110, which can obtain production data from the bottling production line from the application server 170. Overall equipment efficiency (OEE) is the ratio of actual production capacity to theoretical capacity, used to evaluate losses caused by downtime, including any event that causes planned production to stop. For example, equipment failure, raw material shortages, and changes in production methods.

[0098] Please see Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention proposes a method for monitoring the overall equipment efficiency of a bottling production line, which may include the following steps.

[0099] Step S10: Use a laser sensor to inspect the packaging bottles and boxes on the bottling production line.

[0100] Step S20: The controller obtains the real-time quantity of packaging bottles or boxes based on the detection data from the laser sensor.

[0101] Step S30: Through the internet platform, based on the real-time quantities recorded by the controller, and based on the maximum verification speed, shift data, batch data, date data, and / or production line data of the bottling production line, the overall equipment efficiency of the bottling production line is generated. The maximum verification speed represents the maximum production speed of the bottling production line. The overall equipment efficiency is represented as running time / scheduled time.

[0102] Step S10: Use a laser sensor to inspect the packaging bottles and boxes on the bottling production line.

[0103] In one embodiment of the present invention, the laser sensor 110 can be used to detect packaging bottles or boxes on a bottling production line. For example, the laser sensor 110 can be positioned on one side of the bottling production line to detect the packaging bottles or boxes using infrared laser light.

[0104] Step S20: The controller obtains the real-time quantity of packaging bottles or boxes based on the detection data from the laser sensor.

[0105] In one embodiment of the present invention, the controller 120 can be used to obtain the real-time quantity of packaging bottles or boxes based on the detection data of the laser sensor. The controller 120 is the computing and control core of the monitoring system and is the execution unit for information processing and program execution. The controller 120 can count the number of packaging bottles or boxes detected by the laser sensor 110 to calculate the real-time quantity of packaging bottles and boxes.

[0106] Step S30: Through the internet platform, based on the real-time quantities recorded by the controller, and based on the maximum verification speed, shift data, batch data, date data, and / or production line data of the bottling production line, the overall equipment efficiency of the bottling production line is generated. The maximum verification speed represents the maximum production speed of the bottling production line. The overall equipment efficiency is represented as running time / scheduled time.

[0107] In one embodiment of the present invention, the Internet platform may be a network cluster of multiple cloud servers, which can interact with each other via an interconnected network. For example, the Internet platform may include an application software server (BES App Server) 140, an enterprise service bus (ESB Server) 150, an elastic cloud server (ESC Server) 160, an application server (OEE App Server) 170, and a data server (OEE DB Server) 180.

[0109] Please see Figure 8 As shown in one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention details the various losses in calculating the overall equipment efficiency (OEE), mainly divided into unplanned time, planned downtime (PDT), unplanned downtime (UPDT), speed loss, and quality loss, and clarifies the common causes that may lead to these losses. Calendar time can include planned time and unplanned time. Unplanned time refers to the time within a unit of time that is not considered in OEE calculation because production activities (including maintenance and rework) are scheduled according to the operational strategy. Examples include mandatory regulatory elements (such as equipment qualification and fire protection testing), annual downtime, and annual facility maintenance. Planned time includes uptime, planned downtime (PDT), and unplanned downtime (UPDT). Planned downtime is denoted by number 1, and unplanned downtime is denoted by number 2. Number 1 indicates the execution of planned activities, which may include planned maintenance, training, mold making, batch changeover (C / O), CIL (cleaning, inspection, and lubrication), and central line (CL). Item 2 indicates an interruption caused by unexpected malfunctions / failures, which may include malfunctions, process failures (including minor downtime), waiting time due to missing materials, and short periods. Runtime may include speed losses and net runtime, with speed losses indicated by item 3. Item 3 may indicate any event that prevents the production line / equipment from operating at maximum validation speed, which may include production line acceleration (accompanied by good product output), utility issues, lack of operators, and lack of basic conditions (wear and tear). Net runtime may include quality losses and net production time, with quality losses indicated by item 4. Item 4 may indicate any event in the production process that results in the production of non-conforming products or the removal of good-quality products from the production process, which may include rejection / discard, rework, and sampling.

[0110] Please see Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, taking a production batch of a bottling production line as an example, the present invention calculates the loss type of the product every minute by collecting real-time data, and can statistically analyze the overall equipment efficiency of the bottling production line at the "minute level", forming a trend of the overall equipment efficiency of a production batch.

[0111] In summary, this invention proposes a monitoring system and method for the overall efficiency of equipment in a bottling production line.
