[0040] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] First, some technical terms in this application are explained to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand this application.

[0042] LES, short for Logistics Execution System, is a logistics management system that takes material pull as its core and comprehensively considers the interaction of materials in different storage units to realize the material's journey from warehousing, in-warehouse management, outbound, pull, and transfer to final assembly.

[0043] "Inclusion" refers to the formal receipt and inclusion of the required raw materials, components, semi-finished products, etc., into the collaborative distribution warehouse management.

[0044] Material feeding refers to the process of putting the various components that make up the product into the corresponding production station in accordance with the established production plan and quantity requirements during the manufacturing process.

[0045] Instructions are divided into two types: pull instructions and Kanban instructions. Pull instructions are usually for small and medium-sized parts, with a relatively long delivery cycle, while Kanban instructions are usually for large assembly parts, with a more frequent delivery cycle.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Firstly, this application provides an integrated design method for component inclusion and feeding under a delivery system. Guided by lean production, the method plans materials according to the flow links in a vertical logistics business line, and integrates inclusion and feeding vertically. This achieves the integration of indications through inclusion and feeding labels, provides accurate material inclusion prompts (inclusion time, feeding location, part type, and required quantity), ensures balanced and smooth inclusion, enables one-time sorting of all inclusion and feeding processes, facilitates rapid turnover of materials between multiple inventory points, and significantly reduces inventory levels.

[0048] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the integrated design method for incorporating components and material feeding under the delivery system of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the integrated design method for incorporating parts and materials under the delivery system includes:

[0049] S1: Based on the production line plan of the MES (Manufacturing Execution System), P-BOM data, and the logistics data maintained by the LES system, generate inclusion instructions and material feeding instructions and issue inclusion instructions; P-BOM, or planning BOM, is obtained by process engineers by redesigning the EBOM according to the factory's processing level and capabilities;

[0050] S2: Based on the inclusion instructions, the transit warehouse or direct supplier generates a sorting task list by combining the arrival time, production line, and feeding station, prepares materials, and generates a delivery list;

[0051] S3: Based on the delivery list, the co-location warehouse receives the materials and delivers them to the workstations that need to be fed, thus completing the feeding process.

[0052] Furthermore, in one embodiment, based on the MES system production line plan, P-BOM data, and the logistics data maintained by the LES system, inclusion instructions and material feeding instructions are generated and issued, specifically including:

[0053] S101: Receives the second set time verification plan of the MES system production line, combines P-BOM data and logistics data maintained by the LES system, takes the frame launch time as the base point, and considers the arrival time offset of different materials according to the single vehicle usage and production cycle, to generate an integrated inclusion instruction and feeding instruction; specifically, it receives the MES system production line N+3 verification plan, where N can refer to days or other times.

[0054] The P-BOM data includes vehicle component data and workstation information, while the logistics data maintained by the LES system includes component packaging information, inclusion attributes, material input attributes, and distribution attributes.

[0055] S102: After the inclusion instruction is generated according to the production line, feeding station and arrival time, it is released after confirmation by the distribution warehouse; that is, it is triggered after confirmation by the distribution warehouse instruction management personnel, thereby releasing the inclusion instruction.

[0056] The generation of the instructions incorporated in this application specifically includes the following steps:

[0057] a: Based on the execution plan and P-BOM structure, expand the procurement of materials for plans that require inclusion instructions;

[0058] b. For the expanded purchased parts, verify the relevant attributes: parameters such as inclusion attributes, custodian, material feeding attributes, online method, material feeder, and supply station. For materials with missing parameters, submit them to the relevant business personnel for maintenance, and regenerate the inclusion instruction after maintenance.

[0059] c. Calculate the execution plan interval according to the planned launch time of the whole vehicle, and divide the plan into different time periods according to the planned interval parameters in the attribute settings;

[0060] d. Calculate the arrival time for each time period: Calculate based on the first online time and online method within the planned time period, as well as the advance time parameter of the online method of the inclusion attribute. The advance time varies for different inclusion methods and different online methods.

[0061] e. Based on the vehicle order number, the expanded bill of materials, the warehouse where the goods arrive, the process, and the order details, select suppliers that meet the criteria.

[0062] f. Summarize the calculated materials according to conditions such as arrival time, supplier, online method, material feeder, online date, and supply station;

[0063] g. Calculate the quality inspection mark for the summarized materials, and mark the materials that meet the conditions with the quality inspection mark;

[0064] h. Based on the above calculations, the final included instruction data is generated;

[0065] i. The instructions to be included are processed by order splitting according to the direct supply warehouse supply mark. For the instructions of the direct supply supplier, the direct supply material pull order data (material pull and Kanban) is calculated by summarizing the conditions according to the arrival organization, arrival warehouse, supplier, warehouse keeper, arrival time, online date, logistics company, and logistics company warehouse.

[0066] For suppliers, the same criteria are used to calculate the outbound instructions (material haul and Kanban) for transit warehouses, including arrival organization, arrival warehouse, supplier, warehouse keeper, arrival time, online date, logistics company, and logistics company warehouse.

[0067] In this application, the MES system establishes a three-level verification system: a first set-time verification plan, a second set-time verification plan, and a third set-time verification plan. The first set-time verification plan is N+6, the second set-time verification plan is N+3, and the third set-time verification plan is N+1. The first set-time verification plan is used to verify the basic logistics parameters and identify any missing basic logistics parameters. The second set-time verification plan is used for further verification to complete any unmaintained basic logistics parameter data missed after the execution of the first set-time verification plan. The third set-time verification plan supplements the first and second set-time verification plans and is used to correct temporary changes to temporary processing data.

[0068] This application establishes a three-tiered basic parameter verification system: N+6, N+3, and N+1. A prerequisite for the generation of inclusion instructions is the completeness of basic logistics parameters, which include logistics codes, packaging parameters, inclusion parameters, material feeding parameters, distribution parameters, and assembly station information (taken from the P-BOM system). The purpose of verifying basic logistics parameters is to avoid missing parameters. Verification after the N+6 plan is released identifies most missing basic logistics parameters, allowing for timely maintenance and reducing the impact of untimely maintenance on inclusion instruction generation. Verification is performed again after the N+3 execution plan is released to complete any omitted or unmaintained basic logistics parameters, ensuring the normal generation of inclusion instructions. The N+1 verification supplements the previous two verifications, primarily aiming to correct for temporary data changes such as ad hoc actions.

[0069] Furthermore, in one embodiment, based on the inclusion instruction, the transit warehouse or direct supplier generates a sorting task list by combining the arrival time, production line, and feeding station, prepares materials, and generates a delivery list, specifically including:

[0070] S201: The transit warehouse or direct supplier receives the inclusion instruction and, based on the received inclusion instruction, generates a sorting task list according to the arrival time, production line, and feeding station, and prints packaging labels;

[0071] Specifically, the transit warehouse or direct supplier receives the inclusion instructions, namely the material pull instructions and Kanban instructions. Based on the inclusion instructions, a sorting task list is generated according to the arrival time, production line, and feeding station, and packaging labels are printed.

[0072] S202: For sorted materials, move the packaging to the shipping area and scan the packaging labels to generate a delivery list.

[0073] Furthermore, this application provides a summary table of inclusion and material input attribute parameters based on business model. The parameter data for inclusion instructions includes five types: sequential material pulling, whole-package material pulling, first time length Kanban, second time length Kanban, and third time length Kanban, with the first time being 1 hour, the second time being 2 hours, and the third time being 3 hours; the parameter data for material input instructions includes five types: arrival-sorting-online, arrival-collection and distribution-online, arrival-repackaging-online, arrival-repackaging-collection and distribution-online, and whole-package arrival-online; in practical applications, it is necessary to distinguish between two delivery methods: warehouse-supplied suppliers and direct-supplied suppliers.

[0074] The blending library can combine the parameter data of the inclusion instruction and the feeding instruction. That is, different blending libraries can be configured with personalized combinations of inclusion and feeding instruction parameters. By combining the above inclusion and feeding instructions, up to 25 parameters can be obtained.

[0075] Furthermore, this application provides auxiliary settings for logistics parameters based on a logistics instruction timeline diagram, which guides the arrival time offset of 25 attributes in an intuitive manner. Based on the material inclusion and feeding classification under various modes (i.e., the aforementioned 25 combinations of inclusion and feeding instruction parameters), the process is reversed from the material's online arrival time, thereby assisting in decision-making regarding the offset parameters of different material attributes (i.e., one of the 25 inclusion and feeding instructions).

[0076] For example, for an engine, the input and feeding instruction parameters are set as Kanban, arrival-assembly-online. In the timing diagram, the corresponding Kanban part is arrival-assembly-online. Taking the engine online as the origin, the engine assembly time is 1 hour ahead of the online time, and the engine arrival time is 2 hours ahead of the engine assembly time. Therefore, the total arrival lead time based on the engine online is 3 hours.

[0077] Furthermore, based on the time point of the vehicle frame going online, time offset parameters for different materials are set, so that the LES system can automatically calculate and include them in the total lead time according to the time offset parameters. The time offset parameters include material pulling or Kanban release lead time, arrival start lead time, arrival end lead time, first feeding lead time, second feeding lead time, sorting operation lead time, packaging operation lead time, and collection and distribution operation lead time.

[0078] Specifically, this application provides rules for setting lead times and inventory parameters for each business node based on the online launch time. A logistics instruction sequence diagram serves as an auxiliary decision-making tool. This section details the parameter setting rules for the aforementioned 25 inclusion and material feeding attributes. Based on the online launch time, offset parameters for different material attributes are set, including lead times for material pulling / Kanban release, arrival start lead time, arrival end lead time, first material feeding lead time, second material feeding lead time, sorting operation lead time, packaging operation lead time, and distribution operation lead time. The LES system automatically calculates the total inclusion lead time based on the parameter settings, achieving precise inventory control at each stage of the collaborative distribution warehouse and production line.

[0079] Furthermore, in one embodiment, based on the delivery list, the distribution warehouse receives the materials and delivers them to the feeding station to complete the feeding process, specifically including:

[0080] S301: Based on the delivery list, the collaborative distribution warehouse completes the receipt of goods by scanning the packaging label or pallet label through a smart mobile device. The smart mobile device displays the current list of tasks to be completed, the list of unloaded goods to be fed, the list of fed materials, and the cumulative data statistics for the day.

[0081] Specifically, the collaborative distribution warehouse can use handheld smart mobile devices to display the current list of tasks to be completed, the list of unloaded goods awaiting feeding, the list of materials already fed, and the cumulative data statistics for the day. The warehouse can also use the device to scan packaging labels or pallet labels to complete the receiving process.

[0082] S302: Sort materials according to the feeding instructions and deliver them to the required feeding stations. Feeding is completed by scanning the packaging labels and location labels using a smart mobile device. The packaging labels contain the receiving instructions and feeding instructions.

[0083] Specifically, logistics personnel sort materials according to the feeding instructions (only the entire pallet is split; the unpacked boxes are not sorted again, reducing the previous step of secondary sorting after unpacking the goods at the distribution warehouse), and deliver the materials to the feeding station. The feeding is completed by scanning the packaging label and the storage location label with a smart mobile device.

[0084] Furthermore, this application provides integrated business rules for inclusion, material feeding instruction generation, and publication. Regarding instruction generation rules: based on an N+4 plan, inclusion instructions are published on a rolling basis over N+3 days. Kanban items generate previewable instructions, and executable instructions are generated 4 hours in advance on a rolling basis. Non-kanban items directly generate executable instructions on a rolling basis 3 days in advance. Regarding instruction publication frequency and slice length: 1-hour kanbans are published every 2 hours with a slice length of 1 hour; 2-hour kanbans are published every 2 hours with a slice length of 2 hours; 3-hour kanbans are published every 3 hours with a slice length of 3 hours; non-kanban items are published daily, with slice lengths of 4 hours for material feeders and 1 day for packaged goods.

[0085] Furthermore, this application provides a packaging label based on integrated inclusion and feeding, which integrates inclusion and feeding information into one label, facilitating key information sharing, accurate identification and traceability, improving collaboration efficiency, instructing suppliers / transfer warehouses to prepare goods by line, time and work station, and reducing secondary sorting after arrival.

[0086] The integrated design method for component inclusion and feeding under the delivery system in this application embodiment plans the materials according to the vertical logistics business line of the flow link, and integrates inclusion and feeding vertically. It realizes the indication through inclusion and feeding labels, and combines the independent inclusion and feeding instructions to realize the integrated and accurate feeding instructions of inclusion and feeding with packaging labels as carriers. After the parts are included, there is no need for secondary sorting, which can realize balanced material delivery, rapid turnover, and accurate collection of inventory data.

[0087] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide an integrated design device for component inclusion and feeding under a delivery system.

[0088] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the functional modules of the integrated component loading and feeding device under the delivery system of this application.
