[0111] In some embodiments, the monitoring data generated by the ICMS system 800 includes but is not limited to equipment status (for example, operation, pause, failure, maintenance, etc.), logistics data (for example, the AGV cart 300 arrives at / leaves the end warehouse docking station 201 / tail warehouse docking station 210, the CTU cart 400 arrives at / leaves the end warehouse docking station 203 / tail warehouse docking station 208, etc.), and process data (for example, equipment operation data monitoring and collection, etc.).

[0112] The MOM / WMS system 600 adjusts the material scheduling tasks according to the monitoring data fed back by the ICMS system 800.

[0113] The RCS system 700 adjusts the AGV scheduling instructions and the CTU scheduling instructions according to the monitoring data fed back by the ICMS system.

[0114] Furthermore, the AGV 300 feeds back status information to the RCS system 700 during the process of delivering materials along the first delivery route L1, and the CTU 400 feeds back status information to the RCS system 700 during the process of delivering materials along the second delivery route L2, for example, path conflict.

[0115] The RCS system 700 adjusts the AGV scheduling instructions and the CTU scheduling instructions according to the status information fed back by the AGV vehicle 300 and / or the CTU vehicle 400.

[0116] The RCS system 700 feeds back the adjusted AGV scheduling instructions and CTU scheduling instructions to the MOM / WMS system 300. The MOM / WMS system 600 adjusts the material scheduling tasks according to the AGV scheduling instructions and CTU scheduling instructions fed back by the RCS system 700, and feeds back the adjusted scheduling tasks to the MES system 500.

[0117] In some preferred embodiments, the docking protocol between the MES system 500 and the MOM / WMS system 600 adopts the websevber / API protocol, the docking protocol between the MOM / WMS system 600 and the RCS system 700 adopts the websevber / API protocol, and the docking protocol between the RCS system 700 and the AGV trolley 300 and the CTU trolley 400 adopts the Modbus-tcp protocol. The docking protocol between the ICMS system (equipment management system) 800 and the MOM / WMS system 600 and the RCS system 700 adopts the http protocol.

[0118] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is to be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention. A person skilled in the art may change, modify, replace and vary the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
