Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of insulating glass production, and in particular relates to an applicable automated insulating glass production process method. Background Art

[0002] Insulating glass is a new type of building material with good heat insulation, sound insulation, beautiful appearance, practicality, and can reduce the deadweight of buildings. It is made of two (or three) pieces of glass, using a high-strength and high-airtightness composite adhesive to bond the glass sheets to an aluminum alloy frame containing a desiccant to produce high-efficiency sound insulation and heat insulation glass. The existing insulating glass has many properties that are superior to ordinary double-layer glass.

[0003] In the Chinese patent with publication number CN101372401 B, a hollow glass production process is mentioned, which includes the following steps: sending the glass to be processed into a cleaning and drying machine through a glass conveyor; checking whether the glass surface is clean by checking the conveyor; when the first piece of glass enters the frame machine, the required aluminum strip or stainless steel strip is glued, and then the first piece of glass and the glued aluminum strip or stainless steel strip enter the laminating machine, the laminating machine plate retreats, and the guide rod automatically descends to guide the second piece of glass into the laminating machine, and the two pieces of glass are combined and enter the pressing machine at the same time; the glass pressed by the pressing machine enters the output conveying table, and the small piece of glass is directly moved to the rotating table here, and the large-sized glass enters the flip table and is flipped from a vertical state to a horizontal state. The beneficial effects of the present invention are: the operation of the equipment can be monitored at any time and faults can be repaired in time; the line connection between each device adopts an aviation plug, which is easy to detect and repair; cost is saved and production efficiency is improved.

[0004] However, the above technical solution monitors the operation of the equipment at any time and can perform fault inspection and repair in time. The line connection between each device adopts aviation plug, which is easy to detect and repair. Although the device can conveniently produce hollow glass, the glass still requires manual assistance in the production process, which makes the production speed of glass relatively slow, causing the production process of the device to affect the production efficiency, so it needs to be improved by the staff.

[0041] S12. ERP delivery: After the product completes all processing steps, the delivery is managed through the ERP system to ensure that the product is delivered to the customer on time and accurately.

[0042] In steps S5 and S6, the glass after cutting and breaking is transported to the edge grinding area by a conveyor belt to realize the cutting and grinding connection. In steps S6, S7 and S8, after the glass is edge ground and cleaned, the glass is transported to the tempered area by a conveyor belt to realize the grinding-steel connection. In steps S8 and S9, after the glass is tempered, the glass is transported to the hollow EMS area by a conveyor belt to realize the steel connection.

[0043] The ERP management system can improve the production plan, provide patches through the hollow MES system, and add the patches to the original sheet inventory through the tempering MES.

[0044] After cutting, breaking, edge grinding and cleaning are completed, the dynamic patch is punctured and inspected by the tempered MES.

[0045] After the insulating glass is produced and packaged, it will be quality inspected. Those that fail the quality inspection are prohibited from being packaged or put into storage, and will be uploaded to the insulating glass MES system.

[0046] ERP instructions mainly involve a series of management instructions in the enterprise resource planning system, which are used to optimize and integrate various business activities of the enterprise. These instructions include but are not limited to:

[0047] Accounting instructions: used to view or modify the company's financial accounting, helping enterprises to carry out financial management and cost control;

[0048] Procurement instructions: used to manage suppliers and purchase orders to ensure smooth supply chain and reasonable inventory;

[0049] Sales instructions: used to manage customers and sales orders, helping companies improve customer satisfaction and sales efficiency;

[0050] Inventory instructions: used to manage materials and inventory quantities to ensure inventory accuracy and inventory turnover.

[0051] The implementation of ERP system can help enterprises realize the automation of business processes, optimize resource allocation, improve management efficiency and decision-making ability. By integrating these instructions, enterprises can better manage their key business areas such as finance, procurement, sales and inventory, thereby improving overall operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

[0052] The MES system, or manufacturing execution system, is a management information system designed to strengthen the connection between the planning management system and the underlying industrial control. It improves manufacturing competitiveness through real-time data collection, control and monitoring of the production process from raw materials to finished products.

[0053] The MES system consists of a set of programs that share data. It realizes real-time monitoring and optimized management of the production process through special equipment deployed at the production site, such as PDA smartphones, LED production boards, barcode collectors, PLCs, sensors, I / O, DCS, RFID, PCs and other hardware.

[0054] Its main functions include production scheduling, quality control, document management, drawing issuance, production scheduling, equipment management, manufacturing logistics, etc. It aims to provide a fast-response, flexible and refined manufacturing environment to help companies reduce costs, deliver on time, improve product quality and improve service quality.

[0055] In addition, the MES system also provides mission-critical information about product behavior within the enterprise and throughout the product supply chain through two-way direct communication, thereby reducing non-value-added activities within the enterprise and effectively guiding the factory's production operations.
