[0047] Example 1

[0048] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a process control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, including:

[0049] Step S110: In response to the operation on the target process node in the process flow diagram, determine the target equipment corresponding to the operation in the process flow;

[0050] Step S120: Generate control instructions corresponding to the operation, wherein the control instructions are used to control the target device.

[0051] For example, a process is an independent link in a technological process. A product often requires several processes to be produced. When configuring a technological process, in addition to configuring names for each process, codes, types, and statuses can also be configured for each process. Codes can represent the execution order of processes in the technological process. Classifying processes by type facilitates the subsequent use of similar technological processes. The status of a process includes enabled and disabled, which can be associated with the entire technological process. In case of emergencies, disabling a process can promptly control the production process. When multiple processes have the same processing logic or perform the same processing, multiple processes can be aggregated into a process group for unified management. When configuring a process group, in addition to codes, names, and statuses similar to those for configuring processes, a description of the process group is also included, which introduces the processes bound to the process group and the function of the process group. In addition, a technological process may also include sub-processes. A sub-process can be regarded as a pre-configured, highly reusable small technological process, including multiple pre-configured processes, which can be used by multiple different technological processes. This allows the construction of new technological processes to directly use common sub-processes without re-editing the rules and logic of the common sub-processes, thus improving efficiency.

[0052] Process flow diagrams can display production status through a graphical interface. The process nodes in a process flow diagram can represent a single process or multiple processes grouped together, also known as process group nodes. By grouping multiple processes into process group nodes and introducing them into the process flow diagram, processes that previously required multiple configurations can be simplified to requiring only one configuration, making operation simpler and more convenient. Users can control the corresponding equipment in the process flow by operating the process nodes within the process flow diagram.

[0053] Specifically, in step S110, determining the target equipment corresponding to the operation in the process flow includes: determining at least one piece of equipment bound to the target process node in the process flow; and determining the target equipment corresponding to the operation among the at least one piece of equipment.

[0054] Understandably, each process node in the process flow diagram is bound to the equipment contained in its corresponding process. The functions of these devices can be displayed on the configuration page of the process node. After the user performs an operation on the configuration page of the target process node, they can determine the target device that can perform the operation from the devices bound to the target process node, and then control the target device to execute the control instructions generated based on the user's operation. This realizes the control of the actual process flow based on the graphical process flow diagram.

[0055] In one implementation, step S120 generates control commands corresponding to the operation, including:

[0056] When the operation is set to start the reporting function, a control command is generated to control the target equipment to upload production information. The production information includes at least one piece of data from the starting process of the process flow to the corresponding process of the target process node.

[0057] Reporting work progress is a crucial aspect of production management, referring to the process of reporting completed production tasks. This enables real-time monitoring of the production process, allowing for comprehensive and meticulous management. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the configuration page for the process node includes an option for whether to report work. Users can use this option to control the start and stop of the work reporting function. When the work reporting function is started, the target equipment can be controlled to upload the production information of the corresponding process of the target process node. The production information includes, but is not limited to, equipment status, fault conditions, and material inventory.

[0058] In one implementation, step S120 generates control commands corresponding to the operation, including:

[0059] When the operation is to stop working, control instructions are generated to control the target device to disconnect the transmission path between the devices bound to the next-level process node of the target process node, so that the tasks associated with the target process node stop at the target process node.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, the configuration page of the process node also includes a work switch option. Users can control the operation of the corresponding process in the configuration page. If the user turns off the work switch option, the target device that has a transmission path with the device bound to the next-level process node can be identified in the device bound to the target process node. The transmission path between the target device and the device bound to the next-level process node can be disconnected, thereby controlling the task associated with the target process node in the process flow to stop after the corresponding process of the target process node is completed.

[0061] The functions in the above process node configuration page are only illustrative examples. Functions such as station record, quality inspection, and material feeding can also be set according to actual conditions. This application is not limited to these.

[0062] In this embodiment, the configuration page of the process node is divided into different functional dimensions, and each dimension can be processed independently. The process flow diagram enables dynamic configuration of the process flow, reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0063] In one implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the process control methods also include:

[0064] Step S310: In response to a query operation for the target task, identify at least one process node associated with the target task in the process flow diagram;

[0065] Step S320: Send a query command to the process processor corresponding to each process node in at least one process node, so that the process processor can provide feedback on the execution information for the target task;

[0066] Step S330: Based on the execution information, display the flow path of the target task and the execution progress of each process node in the process flow diagram.

[0067] Each process node has a process processor configured with process processing rules. The process processor is used to control the equipment bound to the process node to execute tasks according to the process processing rules and generate task execution information.

[0068] It is understandable that the control of the process flow based on the process flow diagram is not limited to the operation of a single process node, but also includes the overall control of the process flow. A process flow can be bound to multiple production tasks. The processes used by different production tasks may be different. That is, when a production task is bound to a process flow, it also establishes an association with at least some process nodes in the process flow diagram. In step S310, the user can query the progress of the target task bound to the process flow diagram. The user can first determine at least one process node associated with the target task in the process flow diagram based on the association between the target task and the process node, and then send a query command to the process processor corresponding to the determined at least one process node to obtain the execution information of the target task fed back by the process processor.

[0069] The process processor is bound to at least one process processing rule. The rule attributes of the process processing rule include, but are not limited to, attribute number, attribute name, value type, value source, etc. The process processor can control each device in the process to execute production tasks according to the bound process processing rule, thereby obtaining the execution information of each device in the process for the production tasks. Since each process in the process flow may be related to multiple production tasks, in step S320, when a query instruction for the target task is received, the process processor can upload the execution information of each device for the target task. The execution information may include various parameters of the target task corresponding to the product in the process flow, as well as the operating status and material inventory of each device in the process.

[0070] Furthermore, in step S330, after receiving the execution information for the target task from the process processors of each process node, the execution progress of each process node for the target task can be determined based on the execution information. In addition, the overall processing progress of the process flow for the target task can be determined based on the execution information, that is, the specific process in the process flow that the target task is currently in is determined, and the flow path of the target task is displayed in the process flow diagram based on the overall processing progress.

[0071] This application embodiment can display the flow path of the target task and the execution progress of each process node in the process flow diagram based on the user's query for the target task. This makes it easier for the user to understand the production status of a specific production task in the process flow, make reference decisions accordingly, and improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] As another embodiment of this application, this application also provides a method for modifying the process flow, which can modify the process flow in Embodiment 1 according to the process flow diagram. Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart of a process change method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, including:

[0074] Step S410: In response to the node change operation in the process flow diagram, obtain the configuration information of each process node after the change; wherein, the node change operation includes at least one of adding a process node, deleting a process node, and modifying a process node;

[0075] Step S420: Based on the configuration information, determine the relationships between each process node;

[0076] Step S430: Determine at least one node path based on the relationships between the nodes of each process;

[0077] Step S440: Modify the process flow diagram based on at least one node path to realize the change of the process flow corresponding to the process flow diagram.

[0078] In a defined process flow diagram, each process node has different levels, allowing production tasks to be completed from the starting process node through process nodes at different levels. However, actual factory production may face more complex and variable process requirements. For example, adjustments may be needed based on factors such as the yield rate of products produced by the existing process. Specifically, this may include adding, deleting, or modifying processes, which is represented in the process flow diagram as adding, deleting, or modifying process nodes.

[0079] In step S410, the configuration information of each process node includes, but is not limited to, the hierarchical information (encoding), type, status, and processing logic of the process node. The occurrence of a node change operation is necessarily accompanied by a change in the configuration information of some process nodes.

[0080] like Figure 5A As shown, process flow diagram ABC represents the original process flow, with process node A being the starting process node and process node C being the ending process node. If process node D is added between process nodes B and C in process flow diagram ABC, as follows... Figure 5BAs shown, in addition to the configuration information carried by the newly added process node D, the configuration information of process nodes B and C has also changed. The changes include at least the hierarchical information and processing logic. If process node B is deleted from the process flow diagram ABC, as shown... Figure 5C As shown, the configuration information of process node A and process node C has also changed, and the changes include at least the hierarchical information and processing logic; if only the configuration information of process node B is modified in the process flow diagram ABC, without adding or deleting process nodes, such as Figure 5D As shown, the configuration information in the modified process node B' may differ from that in process node B in terms of process type, status, and processing logic. Therefore, the processing logic of at least the next-level process node C of process node B' must be changed accordingly, but the hierarchical information of process nodes A and C remains unchanged.

[0081] In one implementation, step S420, based on configuration information, determines the relationships between each process node, including:

[0082] Based on the configuration information, determine the upper-level process node and / or lower-level process node of each process node; based on the determined upper-level process node and / or lower-level process node, determine the association relationship between each process node.

[0083] Based on the hierarchical information in the configuration information of each process node after a node change operation, the upper-level and / or lower-level process nodes of each process node can be determined, thereby establishing the relationships between process nodes. For any given process node, it may only have a lower-level process node, such as a starting process node; or it may only have an upper-level process node, such as a ending process node. Since there may be more than one process route in the process flow, and the same process may be used on multiple process routes, some process nodes may also have multiple upper-level or multiple lower-level process nodes.

[0084] In one implementation, step S430, determining at least one node path based on the association between each process node, includes: determining a starting process node among each process node; and traversing the path from the starting process node as the starting point to determine at least one node path based on the association.

[0085] Figure 6The diagram illustrates a process flow chart after a node change operation. Process node A is the starting process node with a level of 1; process nodes B and C both have a level of 2; process nodes D and E both have a level of 3; and process nodes F and G have a level of 4. Process node A can be used as the starting point for path traversal. Based on the relationships between process nodes, traversal is performed, ultimately resulting in two node paths: path ABDF and path ACEG. Furthermore, the modified process flow chart can be determined based on these two node paths, thus realizing the change of the process flow.

[0086] The embodiments of this application can quickly achieve flexible configuration of each process based on the original process flow by changing the corresponding process nodes of each process. This can adapt to the complex and ever-changing product process flow requirements in actual factory production, avoid long-term production stoppages when process flow needs to be adjusted, and ensure production efficiency.

[0087] In one embodiment, the method further includes: determining at least one device corresponding to the changed process node in the process flow based on the configuration information of the changed process node in each process node; the changed process node includes newly added process nodes and modified process nodes; and binding at least one device to the changed process node.

[0088] It is understandable that the configuration information of a process node includes its type and processing logic, as well as the equipment included in the process corresponding to the process node. In the event of a change in a process node, at least one piece of equipment corresponding to the changed process node can be re-determined in the process flow based on the changed configuration information, and the determined at least one piece of equipment can be bound to the changed process node.

[0089] In one embodiment, the method further includes: generating process processing rules for the changed process node based on the configuration information of the changed process node; configuring the process processing rules in the process processor corresponding to the changed process node, so that the process processor controls at least one device bound to the changed process node to execute tasks according to the process processing rules, and generates task execution information.

[0090] Based on the processing logic in the configuration information of the changed process node, process processing rules for the changed process node can be generated, and the generated process processing rules can be configured in the process processor corresponding to the changed process node. This enables the process processor to control the equipment to execute production tasks and generate task execution information according to the process processing rules. This execution information can be used to determine the task progress.

[0091] The solution in this embodiment transforms the processing logic in the process flow into processors and processing rules, thereby reducing the complexity of the process flow. Based on the underlying dimension, it supports flexible configuration of the process flow, allowing for real-time adjustment of the process level and process route through node changes in the process flow diagram during the business operation of the process flow. This avoids production interruptions caused by process flow adjustments and solves the problem that existing fixed process flows cannot quickly implement process changes.

[0098] In one embodiment, the instruction generation module 720 is configured to: generate control instructions for controlling the target device to disconnect the transmission path between the devices bound to the next-level process node of the target process node when the operation is to stop working, so that the task associated with the target process node stops at the target process node.

[0099] In one embodiment, the device further includes:

[0100] The node determination module is used to determine at least one process node associated with the target task in the process flow diagram in response to a query operation for the target task.

[0101] The instruction sending module is used to send query instructions to the process processors corresponding to each process node in at least one process node, so that the process processors can provide feedback on the execution information of the target task.

[0102] The display module is used to show the flow path of the target task and the execution progress of each process node in the process flow diagram based on the execution information.

[0103] For example, each process node has a process processing rule configured in its process processor. The process processor is used to control the device bound to the process node to perform tasks according to the process processing rule and to generate task execution information.
