Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of visual management, and more particularly to methods, devices, electronic devices, and storage media for managing the static state of products. Background Technology

[0002] In the sheet material processing, transportation and storage system, the processing of sheet materials requires a step similar to "resting". This step is called "health maintenance" in sheet material processing. The products in the same order may have multiple categories. For example, the products we rest include sheet materials, doors and windows, curtain walls, etc., and the products in the same order will be processed in multiple batches according to product category.

[0003] According to search results, the curing process for wood panels mainly includes the following aspects: Curing at the raw material stage: Before being processed into panels, the wood needs to be dried to adapt to the temperature and humidity conditions of the environment, reducing cracking and deformation caused by environmental changes. This process generally takes more than 20 days, with the specific duration depending on factors such as tree species, thickness, and processing. Curing during the gluing stage: In panel processing, especially in plywood production, a curing period of 12-24 hours is required after gluing to allow the adhesive to initially harden, preventing glue overflow during cold pressing and ensuring a strong bond. Curing during the puttying stage: To ensure a uniform and flat surface, the raw panel surface needs to be puttyed. Putty contains a certain amount of moisture, which can easily seep into the panel, causing changes in moisture content. Therefore, a curing process of 7-15 days is required to promote putty curing and balance internal stress. Requirements for the curing environment: The curing environment must be well-ventilated, dry, and kept at room temperature, avoiding external factors such as sunlight and rain. Boards must not be stacked; they must be stored separately to ensure that each board receives adequate conditioning. The goal of conditioning is to balance the internal moisture content of the board, release internal stress, reduce deformation and warping, and thus improve the board's stability and durability. In conclusion, the "conditioning" process in board processing is essential; it helps improve the quality of the boards and ensures their stability and durability during subsequent use.

[0004] When the items are being stored in a resting area, if they are far apart or scattered, the person picking up the goods will need to retrieve them from multiple resting shelves or repeatedly check them. For example, if the current quantity to be picked up is twenty or more, and the products are scattered in different locations due to different categories, then the person picking up the goods will need to repeatedly check them to avoid any omissions.

[0005] In existing technologies, product location information is recorded using Excel spreadsheets or paper forms, or displayed on a large data dashboard. The recipient can view the location of the products to be shipped together by looking at the dashboard. However, the recipient must go to the dashboard to view the information or write down the product number, location, etc., before going to the warehouse to retrieve the goods. This process is prone to errors. Therefore, this paper proposes a product resting status management method, device, electronic equipment, and storage medium. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a product resting state management method, device, electronic device, and storage medium.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a product resting state management method, wherein each placement station on the resting rack is equipped with an indicator light, and the method includes the following steps:

[0008] After the division command is triggered, when a product is placed at the placement station, the indicator lights corresponding to the products placed in the same batch within the time period when the division command was triggered will be divided into a linkage control group.

[0009] When a product is removed, the remaining indicator lights in the linkage control group corresponding to the removed product are executed to indicate the placement of other products belonging to the same batch as the removed product.

[0010] The core steps of this method include dividing the system into linkage control groups and controlling indicator lights to perform indicative actions. First, when a division command is triggered, the system groups the indicator lights corresponding to the same batch of products placed within the command's trigger time period into a single linkage control group. Here, "batch" can be defined based on various factors, such as production time, product type, and customer orders. The division command can be triggered manually or automatically by the system based on preset conditions, providing flexibility for management.

[0011] In practice, there may be various types of partitioning instructions. For example, in addition to partitioning based on time, there may also be partitioning instructions based on product type.

[0012] Preferably, the division instruction includes a product type division instruction. The step of dividing the indicator lights corresponding to products placed in the same batch within the time period of triggering the division instruction into a single linkage control group when products are placed at the placement station after the division instruction is triggered includes:

[0013] After the product type classification instruction is triggered, when a product is placed at the placement station, the product type information of the product placed at the placement station is obtained. The product type information includes at least one of size information, weight information, and resting standard information.

[0014] Based on the product type information, the indicator lights corresponding to the same type of products in the same batch are divided into a linkage control group, so that when different types of products are placed at the same time, the indicator lights corresponding to different types of products are divided into different linkage control groups.

[0015] When a product type classification command is triggered, the system retrieves the product type information placed at the workstation, such as size, weight, or curing standards. Based on this information, the system can group indicator lights corresponding to the same type of product in the same batch into a single control group. This method is particularly suitable for workshops that process multiple types of products simultaneously, effectively preventing confusion between different product types.

[0016] Secondly, the present invention provides a product resting state management device, wherein each placement station on the resting rack is provided with an indicator light, and the device includes:

[0017] The partitioning module is used to partition the indicator lights corresponding to the same batch of products placed within the time period when the partitioning instruction is triggered into a linkage control group when the placement station has products placed there after the partitioning instruction is triggered.

[0018] The control module is used to control the remaining indicator lights in the linkage control group corresponding to the product being taken out to perform indication actions when the product is taken out, so as to remind the other products in the same batch as the product being taken out to place in the correct location.

[0019] In practical applications, when a product type classification command is triggered, the system retrieves the product type information placed at the workstation, such as size, weight, or curing standards. Based on this information, the system can group the indicator lights corresponding to the same type of products in the same batch into a single control group. This method is particularly suitable for workshops that process multiple types of products simultaneously, effectively preventing confusion between different product types.

[0020] Thirdly, the present invention provides an electronic device, including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores computer-readable instructions, and when the computer-readable instructions are executed by the processor, the steps of the above-described product resting state management method are performed.

[0021] The processor is electrically connected to the memory. The processor is the control center of the electronic device, connecting all parts of the device through various interfaces and lines. It executes various functions and processes data by running or calling computer programs stored in the memory and accessing data stored in the memory, thereby providing overall monitoring of the electronic device.

[0022] Fourthly, the present invention provides a storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein when the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps in the above-described method are performed.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, when the computer program is executed by the processor, it executes the method in any of the optional implementation methods of the first aspect to achieve the following functions: after triggering the division instruction, when there is a product at the placement station, the indicator lights corresponding to the products placed in the same batch within the time period of triggering the division instruction are divided into a linkage control group; when the product is taken out, the remaining indicator lights in the linkage control group corresponding to the product being taken out are controlled to perform indication actions to remind the placement positions of the other products in the same batch as the product being taken out.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. When a division command is triggered, the system will divide the indicator lights corresponding to the same batch of products placed within the command trigger time period into a linkage control group. This division mechanism ensures that the same batch of products can be managed uniformly.

[0026] Second, when a product type classification command is triggered, the system retrieves the product type information placed at the workstation, such as size, weight, or curing standards. Based on this information, the system can group the indicator lights corresponding to the same type of products in the same batch into a single control group. This method is particularly suitable for workshops that process multiple types of products simultaneously, effectively preventing confusion between different product types.

[0027] Third, when an operator retrieves a product, the system will control other indicator lights within that group to perform specific directional actions based on the linked control group to which the retrieved product belongs. These actions can include flashing, color changes, or other conspicuous display methods, aiming to remind the operator of the location of other products in the same batch. This way, even if other products within the group are scattered in different locations, the operator can quickly locate them, greatly improving work efficiency and reducing the possibility of errors.

[0028] IV. In some cases, products from different batches may be retrieved simultaneously. To address this complexity, this method also includes differentiated management of multiple product batches. The system can identify whether the retrieved products belong to different batches; if so, it will control the indicator lights corresponding to different batches to perform different indicating actions. This differentiated visual cues effectively prevent confusion between products from different batches, further improving management accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The following description is intended to disclose the invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0034] This invention provides a method for managing the product curing status, which aims to improve the management efficiency and accuracy of the product curing process in a workshop. In a typical embodiment of this invention, the method is applied to a workshop environment equipped with curing racks. Each placement station on the curing rack is equipped with an indicator light, which is a key component for achieving visual management.

[0035] In practical applications, curing racks can be multi-layered and multi-column structures to accommodate products of different sizes and quantities. Each placement station can be an independent compartment or a zone defined on the rack, depending on the characteristics of the product and the needs of the workshop. Indicator lights are typically installed in prominent locations at each placement station, such as at the front or top of the station, to ensure easy identification by operators.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 The product resting state management method provided in this application embodiment has an indicator light corresponding to each placement position on the resting rack. The steps of the method include:

[0037] After the division command is triggered, when products are placed at the placement station, the indicator lights corresponding to the products placed in the same batch within the time period when the division command was triggered will be divided into a linkage control group.

[0038] When a product is removed, the other indicator lights in the linkage control group corresponding to the removed product will be executed to indicate the placement of other products belonging to the same batch as the removed product.

[0039] The core steps of this method include dividing the system into control groups and controlling indicator lights to perform directional actions. First, when a division command is triggered, the system groups the indicator lights corresponding to the same batch of products placed within the command's trigger time period into a single control group. The "batch" can be defined based on various factors, such as production time or customer orders. The division command can be triggered manually or automatically by the system based on preset conditions, providing flexibility for management. For example, suppose an operator places 10 identical products on a curing rack between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM. If the division command is triggered at 9:00 AM, the indicator lights corresponding to these 10 products placed between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM will be grouped into the same control group. This division mechanism ensures unified management of the same batch of products, with the division command triggered between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM.

[0040] In practice, there may be various types of partitioning instructions. For example, in addition to partitioning based on time, there may also be partitioning instructions based on product type.

[0041] Based on this, the present invention further proposes a division instruction including a product type division instruction. After the division instruction is triggered, when products are placed at the placement station, the step of dividing the indicator lights corresponding to the products placed in the same batch within the time period of triggering the division instruction into a linkage control group includes:

[0042] After the product type classification instruction is triggered, when a product is placed at the placement station, the product type information of the product placed at the placement station is obtained. The product type information includes at least one of the following: size information, weight information, and resting standard information.

[0043] Based on product type information, the indicator lights corresponding to the same type of products in the same batch are divided into a linkage control group. This is used to divide the indicator lights corresponding to different types of products into different linkage control groups when different types of products are placed at the same time.

[0044] When a product type classification command is triggered, the system retrieves the product type information placed at the workstation, such as size, weight, or curing standards. Based on this information, the system can group indicator lights corresponding to the same type of product in the same batch into a single control group. This method is particularly suitable for workshops that process multiple types of products simultaneously, effectively preventing confusion between different product types.

[0045] Specifically, the weight of the product can be checked by setting a weight sensor at each placement station, and other sensors or cameras can be set to check the size of the product. An identification code with resting standard information can also be affixed to the product, and the resting standard information can be obtained by obtaining the identification code through the camera.

[0046] Another key step in this method is controlling indicator lights to perform indicative actions when a product is removed. When an operator removes a product, the system controls other indicator lights within the same control group to perform specific indicative actions based on the product's group. These actions can include flashing, color changes, or other conspicuous display methods, designed to alert the operator to the location of other products in the same batch. For example, if an operator removes a product from a curing rack, other indicator lights in the same control group may simultaneously flash red. This allows the operator to quickly locate other products within the group, even if they are scattered in different locations, significantly improving work efficiency and reducing the possibility of errors.

[0047] The method of this invention is not only applicable to traditional manufacturing workshops, but can also be extended to other fields requiring precise batch product management, such as food processing and pharmaceutical production. By flexibly configuring the types and triggering conditions of the division instructions, this method can adapt to the specific needs of different industries.

[0048] When implementing this method, it is recommended to use high-quality, long-life LED indicator lights to ensure the long-term stable operation of the system. At the same time, considering the potentially complex lighting environment in the workshop, the brightness and color of the indicator lights should be carefully selected to ensure clear visibility under various conditions.

[0049] Furthermore, to further improve system reliability, redundant design can be considered. For example, in addition to indicator lights, each workstation can be equipped with a small display screen to show more detailed product information. This not only provides operators with more reference information but also serves as a backup system in case the indicator lights fail.

[0050] In summary, the product resting state management method provided by this invention significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of workshop product management through intelligent group management and intuitive visual prompts. It not only reduces human error but also optimizes workflows, providing strong support for improving product quality and production efficiency. With the advancement of Industry 4.0, this intelligent management method will play an increasingly important role in modern manufacturing.

[0051] Building upon the preceding description, we will now delve into a key feature of this invention: a product type-based classification mechanism. This mechanism not only enriches the functionality of the resting state visualization management method but also significantly improves its adaptability and accuracy in complex production environments.

[0052] In modern manufacturing, multiple types of products often need to be processed simultaneously in the same workshop. These products may vary significantly in size, weight, and curing requirements. To address this complexity, this invention introduces a product type classification instruction. When this instruction is triggered, the system not only considers the batch of products but also acquires and analyzes the specific type information of the products at each placement station.

[0053] Product type information may include multiple dimensions. Taking the production of aluminum alloy door and window frames or curtain wall products as an example, the system may consider the following factors:

[0054] 1. Size information: such as height, length, and width. For example, products with a height between 20-90cm can be grouped into one category.

[0055] 2. Weight information: such as different weight ranges like 0-10kg, 10-20kg, etc.

[0056] 3. Resting Standard Information: Products requiring 24-hour rest are classified as one category, while products requiring 48-hour rest are classified as another category.

[0057] Based on this information, the system will group the indicator lights corresponding to the same type of products in the same batch into a single linkage control group. This means that if the types of products placed at the placement station are different, they will also be grouped into different linkage control groups.

[0058] This means that products from the same batch belong to a linkage control group N, products of the first type in the same batch belong to linkage control group N1, and products of the second type in the same batch belong to linkage control group N2.

[0059] For a concrete example: Suppose a curtain wall manufacturing factory produces a batch of curtain walls in the morning, including large curtain walls (80cm high, 18kg, requiring 48 hours of curing) and small curtain walls (35cm high, 10kg, requiring 24 hours of curing). When these large and small curtain walls are placed at the placement station, the system will assign them to two different linkage control groups:

[0060] Linkage control group A: Large curtain wall;

[0061] Linkage control group B: Small curtain wall;

[0062] This refined segmentation mechanism brings many advantages:

[0063] First, it improves the accuracy of management. When operators take out or put in products, the system can accurately identify and indicate the location of similar products, greatly reducing the possibility of confusion.

[0064] Secondly, it optimizes the management of the resting process. Different types of products may require different resting times or conditions. Through this classification, the system can set unique reminder mechanisms for each type of product, ensuring that each product receives appropriate handling.

[0065] Furthermore, this mechanism improves production efficiency. For example, when it is necessary to remove all the smaller curtain walls that have completed curing, the system can quickly locate all relevant products without misleading the operator to check the larger curtain walls that have not yet completed curing.

[0066] Furthermore, this classification method facilitates quality control. If a quality problem is found in a certain type of product, managers can quickly locate and inspect all products of the same type, without needing to inspect the entire batch.

[0067] In practical applications, the system's flexibility is also evident. Managers can customize product type classification criteria according to specific needs. For example, in some cases, only size information may need to be considered; while in others, size, weight, and resting conditions may need to be considered simultaneously. The system allows these parameters to be adjusted and combined according to different production requirements.

[0068] With the above settings, different linkage control groups can be divided when placing different types of products within the same time period. By dividing the linkage control groups according to product type information, it is possible to avoid classifying different types of products into the same linkage control group, thereby avoiding confusion. Different types of products can be placed within a time period, improving efficiency.

[0069] To further enhance the system's intelligence, machine learning algorithms can be introduced. The system can automatically adjust and optimize its categorization criteria by analyzing historical data to adapt to constantly changing production needs. For example, if it finds that products within a specific size range are frequently processed together, the system can suggest using this range as a new categorization criterion.

[0070] In terms of information display, in addition to indicator lights, the system can also be equipped with a small display screen at each workstation to show more detailed product type information. This not only provides operators with more reference information but also offers additional guidance when handling special situations.

[0071] In summary, the product type-based classification mechanism greatly enhances the functionality and adaptability of this invention. It enables the visualization management method for static states to accurately address complex production environments, providing a powerful and flexible management tool for modern manufacturing. Through this method, factories can significantly improve production efficiency, reduce error rates, and provide strong support for product quality control. With the deepening development of Industry 4.0, this intelligent and refined management method will play an increasingly important role in manufacturing, driving the entire industry towards greater efficiency and precision.

[0072] In the product resting state management method of the present invention, a key challenge is how to handle the possible positional changes of the product during the resting process. To address this, this embodiment proposes a clever solution designed to ensure that the system can accurately track product positional changes and update the linkage control group accordingly. This method not only improves the system's flexibility but also enhances its adaptability to actual operation.

[0073] Specifically, the system introduces a new triggering mechanism: the adjustment command of the linkage control group. The purpose of this command is to initiate a series of detection and adjustment processes when the product position changes. Specifically, when the adjustment command is triggered, the system will closely monitor all placement positions on the curing rack for a predefined time period (referred to as the first preset time period).

[0074] The length of this initial preset time period can be flexibly set according to actual production needs. For example, in a busy curtain wall production workshop, this time period might be set to 5 minutes; while in a factory with a slower production pace, it might be set to 15 minutes or longer. This flexibility allows the system to adapt to different production environments and operating rhythms.

[0075] Within this preset time period, the system's main task is to detect whether new products have been placed at a different workstation than the previously retrieved products. The key here is that the system must not only identify the newly placed products but also determine whether these products are the same as those previously retrieved.

[0076] For example:

[0077] Suppose there is a control group A in a curtain wall production workshop, which originally contained 5 workstations where large curtain walls (80cm high, 18kg, requiring 48 hours of curing) were placed. Now, an operator removes a large curtain wall from one of the workstations (let's call it workstation X). The system immediately triggers an adjustment command and begins a 5-minute monitoring period.

[0078] Within those 5 minutes, the system detected that a larger version of the removed curtain wall had been placed at another vacant workstation (referred to as workstation Y). At this point, the system would determine that it was likely the same product, simply moved to a new location.

[0079] Based on this judgment, the system will perform the following adjustment operations:

[0080] 1. Remove the indicator light on station X, where the product was originally being retrieved, from the linkage control group A. This ensures that the station is no longer mistakenly identified as still storing the relevant product.

[0081] 2. Add the indicator light on workstation Y where the new product is placed to the linkage control group A. In this way, the system successfully tracks the new position of the product.

[0082] This dynamic adjustment mechanism brings many advantages:

[0083] It improves system flexibility: it allows operators to adjust the storage location of products as needed without affecting batch integrity.

[0084] Enhanced location tracking capabilities: The system can reflect the actual storage location of products in real time, avoiding management chaos caused by location changes.

[0085] Space utilization has been optimized: operators can rearrange the storage locations of products according to actual needs to make better use of the curing rack space.

[0086] Reduced human error: By automatically tracking and updating product locations, the system significantly reduces errors that may result from manual recording and updating.

[0087] In practical applications, this functionality can be further optimized. For example, the system can incorporate intelligent identification technologies, such as RFID tags or computer vision, to more accurately identify whether the moved product is indeed the same product previously retrieved. This can further improve the accuracy and reliability of the system.

[0088] In addition, the system can provide a visualized movement trajectory map. On the central control panel, managers can view the product's movement history on the curing rack, which not only helps to understand the current storage status but also allows for analysis of operating patterns, thereby optimizing workflows.

[0089] The reason for this setup is that, in actual production, the placement stations on the curing racks do not perfectly correspond to each batch of products. This means that when a batch of products is placed on a station, there may be empty stations. As the next batch of products arrives, products will continue to be placed on the empty stations. Over time, a batch of products may end up scattered across different areas. When new products need to be placed, operators may find themselves facing a situation where a few products are scattered on one curing rack, while another curing rack has products from the same batch and an empty station. In this case, operators may move the scattered products to the other station with products from the same batch and an empty station. Without a handling mechanism, this situation can lead to chaos in the linkage control group.

[0090] In response, this embodiment proposes that an adjustment command for the linkage control group be triggered after the product is removed, thereby avoiding the aforementioned situation that could cause chaos in the linkage control group.

[0091] In summary, this dynamic adjustment mechanism greatly enhances the adaptability and practicality of this invention. It enables the visualized management method of resting status to more flexibly respond to various situations in actual production, providing modern manufacturing with an intelligent and practical management tool. Through this method, factories can flexibly adjust product storage locations while ensuring batch integrity, thereby better adapting to changes in production needs and improving overall production efficiency and space utilization.

[0092] In the above embodiments, the present invention proposes to trigger an adjustment command for the linkage control group after the product is removed, thereby avoiding the aforementioned situation that could lead to confusion in the linkage control group. However, during this process, when the product is removed, it may be in a state where a division command has been triggered. In this state, it is possible that the same product as the removed product is placed in, which could lead to confusion in the division of the linkage control group. To address this, the system introduces an important pre-judgment step: determining whether the current working state has triggered a division command. The significance of this step is that it enables the system to adjust its behavior according to current production needs and management strategies. For example, if a special product type division command is currently being executed, the system needs to perform subsequent judgments and processing within the framework of this special command.

[0093] Next, the system introduces the concept of a second preset time period. Within this time period (which could be 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or other durations set according to actual needs), the system closely monitors the status of newly placed products at the placement station. Specifically, the system collects two types of key information:

[0094] 1. Product type information: This includes characteristics such as the size, weight, and resting requirements of the newly added product.

[0095] 2. First quantity information: This refers to the number of new products added during this time period.

[0096] With this information, the system can make more intelligent judgments. It compares whether the newly added product matches the previously removed product. Here, "match" refers not only to the same product type but also to a corresponding quantity.

[0097] For example:

[0098] Suppose that in a curtain wall production workshop, there is a linkage control group A, which contains 5 workstations with large curtain walls (80cm high, 18kg, requiring 48 hours of curing). The operator removes 3 of the large curtain walls. The system triggers an adjustment command, starting a 30-minute monitoring period (assuming this is the second preset time period).

[0099] During these 30 minutes, the system detected the following:

[0100] Two new large-sized curtain walls were placed in the vacant workstations;

[0101] One medium-sized curtain wall (50cm high, 12kg, requires 36 hours of curing) was placed in another empty work station;

[0102] At this point, the system will make the following judgment:

[0103] 1. The system first confirms whether a partitioning command has been triggered.

[0104] 2. The system retrieves the product type and quantity information of the newly added products and finds that two different types of products have been added, with a total quantity of 3.

[0105] 3. The system compared the newly added products with the products that were removed and found that the types did not match perfectly (there was one medium-sized curtain wall), but the number of large-sized curtain walls also did not match.

[0106] 4. Based on this information, the system determines that the newly added product does not completely match the product taken out.

[0107] In this situation, the system will proceed to the next step of the judgment process. It will determine how to handle this mismatch based on the product type information. Specifically, it may issue a warning, notify the operator for confirmation, and then proceed with manual processing.

[0108] This approach offers several advantages:

[0109] Improved management precision: The system can accurately track the status of each type of product, avoiding confusion caused by partial matching.

[0110] The system's adaptability has been enhanced: even under complex production conditions, the system can make reasonable judgments and adjustments.

[0111] More data support is provided: By creating new linkage control groups, the system provides more detailed data for production process analysis.

[0112] Reduced error risk: Through a prudent judgment mechanism, the system reduces the risk of management errors caused by misjudgment.

[0113] Furthermore, this mechanism enables the early detection of production anomalies. For example, if the system frequently detects incomplete matches, it may indicate a problem in the production process, requiring further investigation by management.

[0114] In practical applications, the system parameters can be adjusted according to specific production needs. For example, the length of the second preset time period can be set according to the production cycle of different products. For products with shorter production cycles, a shorter time period may be required; while for products with longer production cycles, a longer time period can be set.

[0115] Furthermore, the system can incorporate a self-learning mechanism. By analyzing historical data, the system can automatically adjust its judgment thresholds and strategies. For example, if it finds that a certain type of product frequently shows partial matching, the system can automatically adjust its judgment criteria for that type of product to improve management efficiency.

[0116] In terms of information display, in addition to displaying the status of the linkage control group through indicator lights, the system can also provide detailed matching analysis reports on the central control console. These reports can graphically display the specific details of each adjustment, helping managers quickly understand the production status and make decisions.

[0117] In summary, this refined judgment and processing mechanism greatly enhances the intelligence and reliability of this invention. It enables the visualization management method for resting states to more accurately cope with complex production environments, providing modern manufacturing with an intelligent and robust management tool. Through this method, factories can significantly improve the accuracy of production management, reduce error rates, and provide more comprehensive and reliable data support for production process optimization.

[0118] In some complex production scenarios, there may be situations where newly added products and removed products do not perfectly match. To better handle this situation, this embodiment further improves the system's judgment logic, enabling it to handle various possible situations more intelligently and flexibly. Therefore, a further implementation method is proposed. When a mismatch occurs, the step of determining whether to update and adjust the corresponding linkage control group based on product type information includes:

[0119] In the event of a mismatch, obtain the second quantity information of the product type information of the products newly placed in the placement station within the second preset time period;

[0120] When the second quantity information is only one type, the corresponding linkage control group will not be updated or adjusted and an alarm will not be issued;

[0121] When there are multiple quantities of the second quantity information, obtain the product type information corresponding to the product that was taken out, and determine whether the corresponding product quantity is the same as the quantity of the product that was taken out based on the product type information corresponding to the product that was taken out. If they are the same, update and adjust the corresponding linkage control group; if they are different, issue an alarm.

[0122] When the system detects a mismatch between a newly placed product and a previously removed product, it performs a more in-depth analysis. This analysis primarily focuses on the product type information of products newly placed into the workstation within a second preset time period (e.g., 30 minutes). Simultaneously, the system calculates a key parameter: the second quantity information. This second quantity information reflects the number of different types of products newly placed within this time period.

[0123] Based on this information, the system will adopt the following strategies:

[0124] When the second quantity information is only one type:

[0125] If only one type of product is placed in during the monitoring period, but this product does not match the product that is removed, the system will consider this a possible anomaly. In this case, the system will not update or adjust the existing linkage control group, but will instead issue an alarm. This alarm can be a combination of sound and light, such as displaying a red warning message on the central control console while simultaneously emitting an alarm sound. This can promptly alert operators or managers to this potential problem.

[0126] When the second quantity information has multiple components:

[0127] If multiple types of products are added during the monitoring period, the system will make a more complex judgment. It will first obtain the product type information corresponding to the product that was removed, and then compare whether the number of newly added products of the same type is the same as the number of products removed.

[0128] If the quantities are the same, the system will consider this a normal replacement operation, except that other types of products were also added at the same time. In this case, the system will update and adjust the corresponding linkage control group.

[0129] If the quantities are not the same, the system will consider this to be an anomaly and issue an alert.

[0130] For example:

[0131] Suppose that in a curtain wall production workshop, there is a linkage control group A, which contains 5 workstations with large curtain walls (80cm high, 18kg, requiring 48 hours of curing). An operator removes 3 of the large curtain walls. The system triggers an adjustment command, initiating a 30-minute monitoring period.

[0132] Scenario 1: Within 30 minutes, the system detected that only 2 medium-sized curtain walls (50cm high, 12kg in weight, requiring 36 hours of rest) were placed in vacant workstations.

[0133] Action taken: The system detected a mismatch between the newly added product type and the one removed, and only one new type was added. Instead of adjusting the linkage control group, the system issued an alarm, indicating a potential operational error.

[0134] Scenario 2: Within 30 minutes, the system detected that 3 large curtain walls and 2 medium curtain walls were placed in vacant workstations.

[0135] Action taken: The system detected that multiple types of products were being added, and the number of large curtain walls was the same as the number being removed. The system will add the three newly added large curtain walls to the existing linkage control group A, and create a new linkage control group B for the two medium-sized curtain walls.

[0136] Scenario 3: Within 30 minutes, the system detected that 2 large curtain walls and 2 medium curtain walls were placed in vacant workstations.

[0137] Handling: The system detected that multiple types of products were inserted, but the number of large curtain walls differed from those removed. The system will issue an alert to indicate a potential discrepancy in quantity.

[0138] This sophisticated judgment mechanism brings many advantages:

[0139] Improved anomaly detection capabilities: The system can promptly detect potential operational errors or process anomalies, which helps improve production quality and efficiency.

[0140] Enhanced management flexibility: The system can adapt to different production scenarios, whether it is a simple product replacement or a complex simultaneous operation of multiple types of products.

[0141] Reduced possibility of false alarms: Through multi-level judgment, the system can more accurately distinguish between normal operation and abnormal situation, reducing unnecessary alarms.

[0142] It provides more data support: By recording these complex operational situations, the system provides a richer data foundation for production process analysis and optimization.

[0143] Furthermore, the system can incorporate a self-learning mechanism. By analyzing historical data, the system can automatically adjust its judgment thresholds and strategies. For example, if it finds that a certain type of product frequently experiences quantity mismatches, but this is actually part of the normal production process, the system can automatically adjust its judgment criteria for that type of product to reduce unnecessary alerts.

[0144] In terms of information display, in addition to basic alarm functions, the system can also provide detailed operation logs and analysis reports. These reports can graphically display the specific details of each complex operation, helping managers quickly understand the production status and make decisions. For example, the reports can show the insertion-removal patterns of different types of products, helping to identify potential production efficiency problems.

[0145] In summary, this highly intelligent and flexible judgment mechanism greatly enhances the practicality and reliability of this invention. It enables the visualization management method for resting states to more accurately address various complex production scenarios, providing modern manufacturing with a smart and powerful management tool. Through this method, factories can significantly improve the accuracy of production management, reduce operational error rates, and provide more comprehensive and reliable data support for production process optimization.

[0146] In some cases, the system needs to handle partial product replacements more precisely. This typically occurs during the gradual removal and replacement of a batch of products. To address this complex scenario, the system's judgment and processing logic has been further improved, enabling it to manage the resting state more flexibly and accurately.

[0147] After the matching judgment is successful, the system will not simply update and adjust the linkage control group directly. Instead, it will first perform a series of more detailed analyses and processes. The steps for updating and adjusting the corresponding linkage control group during matching include:

[0148] Get the quantity of products retrieved;

[0149] Determine whether there are any unremoved products in the corresponding linkage control group based on the number of products removed.

[0150] When there are other products that have not been removed, the indicator lights corresponding to the newly placed products in the placement station will not be reassigned to a new linkage control group.

[0151] The following explanation is provided:

[0152] 1. Obtain the quantity of products retrieved:

[0153] The system will accurately record the number of products retrieved during this operation. This quantity information is a crucial basis for subsequent judgments.

[0154] 2. Determine the remaining product status:

[0155] The system will determine whether there are any unremoved products in the corresponding linkage control group based on the number of products retrieved. This step is crucial because it determines whether the system needs to maintain the original linkage control group.

[0156] 3. Intelligent decision-making:

[0157] If the system detects other unremoved products in the control group, it will adopt a more cautious strategy. In this case, the system will not reassign the indicator lights corresponding to the newly placed product to a new control group. Instead, it will incorporate the new product into the existing control group to maintain batch integrity.

[0158] For example:

[0159] Imagine a curtain wall production workshop with a control group A. This group originally consisted of 10 workstations containing large curtain walls (80cm high, 18kg, requiring 48 hours of curing). Now, the operators need to replace these curtain walls in batches.

[0160] Scenario 1: The operator first takes out 3 large curtain walls, and then puts in 3 new large curtain walls.

[0161] Processing procedure:

[0162] 1. The system recorded that 3 products were retrieved.

[0163] 2. The system determines that there are still 7 products that have not been removed in the linkage control group A.

[0164] 3. Since there are still products that have not been removed, the system will not create a new linkage control group.

[0165] 4. If the system determines that the three newly added large curtain walls are the same three large curtain walls that were previously removed, but with different positions, the system will add the indicator lights corresponding to the three newly added large curtain walls to the existing linkage control group A.

[0166] Scenario 2: Based on the above operations, the operator took out the remaining 7 large curtain walls and put in 7 new large curtain walls.

[0167] Processing procedure:

[0168] 1. The system recorded that 7 products were retrieved.

[0169] 2. The system determines that there are no remaining unremoved products in the linkage control group A.

[0170] 3. In this case, the system will consider creating a new linkage control group.

[0171] 4. However, considering that this is a complete replacement of the same batch, the system may choose to retain the original linkage control group A and only update the status of all indicator lights in it.

[0172] This intelligent processing mechanism brings many advantages:

[0173] Maintaining batch integrity: By preserving the original linkage control group during partial replacement, the system ensures the management integrity of the same batch of products, facilitating subsequent tracking and processing.

[0174] Improved management accuracy: The system can accurately track the partial replacement of products in each batch, avoiding management chaos that may result from batch segmentation.

[0175] Enhanced production flexibility: This mechanism allows production lines to operate more flexibly, such as updating or replacing products in batches without affecting overall batch management.

[0176] Optimize resource utilization: By intelligently determining whether to create new linkage control groups, the system avoids unnecessary resource consumption and improves overall efficiency.

[0177] Provides more precise data analysis: This refined management provides a more detailed and accurate data foundation for subsequent production analysis.

[0178] The purpose of the above scheme is to avoid triggering the division command simply by changing the product's placement position, thereby dividing the indicator lights corresponding to the product whose placement position has been changed into a new linkage control group.

[0179] Furthermore, the system can incorporate a self-learning mechanism. By analyzing historical data, the system can automatically optimize the thresholds and strategies for judgment. For example, if it is found that a certain type of product is frequently replaced in small batches, the system can automatically adjust the judgment criteria for that type of product to improve management efficiency.

[0180] In terms of information display, the system can provide a visual batch status chart on the central console. This chart can dynamically display the proportion of replaced and unreplaced products in each batch, helping managers to intuitively understand production progress and batch status.

[0181] In summary, this highly intelligent and flexible batch management mechanism greatly enhances the practicality and adaptability of this invention. It enables the visualization management method for resting status to more accurately handle complex production scenarios, especially in environments requiring frequent partial product replacements. This not only improves the precision of production management but also provides more comprehensive and reliable data support for optimizing production processes.

[0182] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:

[0183] To determine whether the retrieved products belong to different batches;

[0184] When products from different batches are retrieved, the indicator lights corresponding to the different batches of products will perform different indication actions.

[0185] In complex production environments, products from different batches may be retrieved simultaneously. To address this complex scenario, a new intelligent judgment and processing module has been added to the existing system. The main function of this module is to identify and process situations where multiple batches of products are retrieved at the same time, and to ensure that different batches are accurately identified and managed through differentiated indication methods. Specifically, the workflow of this new module is as follows:

[0186] Batch recognition:

[0187] When the system detects that products have been removed, it first checks whether these products belong to different batches. This determination can be based on various factors, such as production time, product type, and customer orders.

[0188] Differentiation indicators:

[0189] If the system confirms that the retrieved products do indeed belong to different batches, it will activate a differentiated indication mechanism. Specifically, the system will control the indicator lights corresponding to different batches of products to perform different indication actions.

[0190] For example:

[0191] Suppose that in a curtain wall production workshop, two batches of products are stored on a curing rack at the same time:

[0192] Batch A: Large curtain wall (80cm high, 18kg, requires 48 hours of curing)

[0193] Batch B: Medium-sized curtain wall (50cm high, 12kg in weight, requires 36 hours of curing)

[0194] Now, the operator needs to remove some curtain walls from batch A and some curtain walls from batch B at the same time.

[0195] Processing procedure:

[0196] Step 1: The system detects that multiple products are being retrieved simultaneously.

[0197] Step 2: The system analyzes the batch information of these products to confirm that they belong to different batches (A and B).

[0198] Step 3: The system activates the differentiated instruction mechanism:

[0199] For the remaining products in batch A, the system controls the corresponding indicator light to flash red.

[0200] For the remaining products in batch B, the system controls the corresponding indicator light to flash blue.

[0201] This differentiated approach to instruction offers several advantages:

[0202] Improved operational accuracy: By using different instruction actions, operators can easily distinguish between different batches of products, greatly reducing the possibility of misoperation.

[0203] Enhanced batch management: Even in complex multi-batch operations, the system maintains the integrity and traceability of each batch.

[0204] Improved production efficiency: Operators can process multiple batches of products simultaneously without having to do so separately, which improves production efficiency to some extent.

[0205] Flexible response to complex scenarios: This mechanism enables the system to easily handle various complex production scenarios, such as the insertion of urgent orders and parallel production of multiple batches.

[0206] Optimize inventory management: By accurately tracking the status of different batches of products, it is helpful to optimize inventory management and production planning.

[0207] In practical applications, the system's indication methods can be flexibly configured according to specific needs. For example:

[0208] Different colors can be used to distinguish batches: red represents batch A, blue represents batch B, green represents batch C, and so on.

[0209] Different flashing frequencies can be used to distinguish batches: fast flashing represents batch A, and slow flashing represents batch B.

[0210] Furthermore, combining color and frequency can create even more ways to differentiate products, in order to deal with more complex multi-batch situations.

[0211] Furthermore, the system can incorporate an intelligent learning mechanism. By analyzing historical data, the system can predict which batches are more likely to be operated simultaneously and pre-set differentiated instruction schemes for these batches, further improving response speed.

[0212] In terms of information display, in addition to differentiated indicator lights, the system can also provide a real-time multi-batch operation view on the central control panel. This view graphically displays the different batches currently being processed, the remaining quantity of each batch, and their distribution on the curing racks. This intuitive display helps managers quickly grasp complex production conditions and make more informed decisions.

[0213] In summary, this intelligent management mechanism, capable of handling multiple batches of simultaneous operations, greatly enhances the adaptability and practicality of this invention. It enables the visualization management method for resting states to readily cope with more complex and changing production environments, providing a powerful and flexible management tool for modern manufacturing.

[0214] Finally, it is worth emphasizing that this newly added functional module does not exist independently, but is seamlessly integrated with all the functions discussed earlier, forming a comprehensive, intelligent, and highly adaptable product resting status visualization management system. This marks a significant step forward for this invention in the management of complex production environments, providing new ideas and solutions for the intelligent and refined management of the manufacturing industry.

[0215] Secondly, please refer to Figure 2 This application provides a product resting status management device, in which an indicator light is provided at each placement position on the resting rack. The device includes:

[0216] The division module 201 is used to divide the indicator lights corresponding to the same batch of products placed in the same time period of the division instruction into a linkage control group when products are placed at the placement station after the division instruction is triggered.

[0217] The control module 202 is used to control the remaining indicator lights in the linkage control group corresponding to the product being taken out to perform an indication action when the product is taken out, so as to remind the other products in the same batch as the product being taken out to place in the correct location.

[0218] In practical applications, when a product type classification command is triggered, the system retrieves the product type information placed at the workstation, such as size, weight, or curing standards. Based on this information, the system can group the indicator lights corresponding to the same type of products in the same batch into a single control group. This method is particularly suitable for workshops that process multiple types of products simultaneously, effectively preventing confusion between different product types.

[0219] Thirdly, please refer to Figure 3This application provides an electronic device, including a processor 101 and a memory 102. The memory 102 stores computer-readable instructions.

It connects various parts of the electronic device through various interfaces and lines. By running or calling computer programs stored in the memory 102 and calling data stored in the memory 102, it performs various functions of the electronic device and processes data, thereby monitoring the electronic device as a whole.
