Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of MES manufacturing execution system, and in particular relates to a modular application driven architecture system based on MES system. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the manufacturing industry, the production process is becoming increasingly complex, and the requirements for manufacturing execution systems are becoming higher and higher; the Chinese name of the MES system is called the Manufacturing Enterprise Production Process Execution Management System, which is an overall solution for the production information management of the workshop execution layer of manufacturing enterprises.

[0003] The traditional MES system architecture design lacks modular design and component automatic assembly design, which will lead to many problems. For example, the coupling between functional modules is strong. When the business process of the enterprise changes or new functions are needed, it is difficult to modify and expand the system. It may require large-scale redesign and development of the entire system, which not only consumes a lot of time and manpower costs, but also may cause the system to become unstable during the modification process. In addition, the traditional MES system lacks flexibility and poor scalability in business function development when dealing with different production scenarios and personalized needs of enterprises. Therefore, it is difficult to quickly and effectively adapt to the special requirements of various production and manufacturing environments, which limits the further improvement of enterprise production efficiency and the enhancement of competitiveness. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the existing MES system has strong module coupling, which leads to large modification and expansion functions, poor flexibility, poor expansibility, and requires a lot of time and manpower costs, the present invention provides a modular application driven architecture system based on the MES system, which reduces the complexity of the system, facilitates development, testing and maintenance, can quickly replace or add new functional components, has strong flexibility, strong expansibility and low cost.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A modular application-driven architecture system based on the MES system, including a basic core framework layer, a business component function configuration layer, a driving engine layer, and an API control layer;

[0007] The basic core framework layer is used to manage and configure component information and integrate all MES module basic services;

[0008] The business component function configuration layer is used for users to select or cancel the use of any module. After the user selects any module, he can select different functional modes of the module to configure it into the MES system;

[0009] The driving engine layer is used to obtain new component information regularly after the component information is configured by the business component function configuration layer, and scan the configured function points to reprint them to the driving engine system function service, and provide interface calls;

[0010] The API control layer is used to provide a functional interface through an API to complete functional tasks.

[0011] Preferably, the basic core framework layer includes a data interaction and sharing platform, and the data interaction and sharing platform interacts with external systems for data.

[0012] Preferably, the business component function configuration layer is provided with a business component function configuration module, which is responsible for the initialization setting, parameter adjustment and authority management of the entire architecture system. The business component function configuration module can freely configure and combine modular functional components according to its own production organization structure, business process characteristics and management requirements, and define the association relationship and data flow between various modular functional components;

[0013] The business component function configuration module can perform user authority management and allocate corresponding operation authorities according to the roles and responsibilities of different users.

[0014] Preferably, the driving engine layer is provided with an application driving engine, and the application driving engine is configured into the MES system through optional components according to the production management needs of different enterprises to meet the system requirements required by customers;

[0015] The application-driven engine supports the management of background configuration functional components, dynamically identifies component function configurations, and automatically loads component functions into the application-driven engine.

[0016] Preferably, the dynamic identification of component function configuration is specifically as follows: the application driving engine periodically scans the background component configuration, and after discovering a new component, the component function configuration information is loaded into the application driving engine.

[0017] Preferably, the automatic loading of component functions into the application driving engine is specifically: obtaining component functions through preconditions, notifying the automatic loading function after configuration, identifying functional modules in the component through configuration information, loading them into the application driving engine, and completing automatic assembly of component functions.

[0018] Preferably, it also includes a modular functional component library, wherein the modular functional component library is used to design and construct modular functional components;

[0019] Each modular functional component has a standardized interface, through which data interaction and collaborative work between components can be achieved. The modular functional component encapsulates the business logic, data processing algorithm and data storage structure related to the function of the modular functional component.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] (1) The present invention divides the various functions of the MES system into independent modular functional components. Each component focuses on a specific business field and has clear functional boundaries and internal logic encapsulation. This reduces the complexity of the system and facilitates development, testing and maintenance. When a function needs to be upgraded or repaired, only the corresponding module needs to be operated, which will not affect the normal operation of other functional modules, greatly improving the stability and maintainability of the system.

[0022] (2) The present invention defines standardized interfaces for each modular functional component, and through these interfaces, standardizes the data input, output and interaction methods between components to ensure seamless collaboration between different components; it realizes the pluggability of components, which facilitates the rapid replacement or addition of new functional components in the system. Enterprises can flexibly introduce functional components developed by third parties or develop new components on their own and easily integrate them into existing systems according to their own business development needs.

[0023] (3) The present invention has developed a set of automatic assembly component mechanisms built into the application driving engine, which dynamically creates component instances, establishes data connection channels between components, initializes component parameters, and starts each component in a predetermined execution order, ensuring that the entire production management application process can run smoothly and efficiently. At the same time, the execution engine also has the ability to monitor and adjust the running status of components in real time; since each component has a detailed metadata description, and the assembly relationship between components is automatically managed by the automatic assembly mechanism, when a component needs to be maintained or upgraded, the system can clearly identify its impact range and take corresponding measures.

[0024] (4) In the embodiment of the present invention, by designing a data interaction and sharing platform, a unified standardized data format and communication protocol are used for data transmission and interaction on the data interaction and sharing platform. Whether it is data exchange between modular functional components or data docking with external systems, the same specifications are followed. The difficulty of system integration is greatly simplified, and the accuracy and reliability of data transmission are improved. Data from different sources can be smoothly integrated and converted on the platform, reducing errors and data loss caused by incompatible data formats or inconsistent communication protocols.

[0025] (5) The business component function configuration module of the present invention provides flexible function component configuration and relationship definition functions. Enterprise managers can conveniently combine, adjust and set parameters of modular function components through graphical interfaces or configuration files according to their own production organizational structure, business process characteristics and management needs, and define the relationship and data flow between each component; it meets the personalized production management needs of enterprises and enables enterprises to customize the functions and processes of the MES system according to their own special circumstances.

[0026] (6) In the embodiment of the present invention, a sophisticated user authority management system is constructed. The business component function configuration module can assign detailed operation permissions to different users according to their roles and responsibilities, including access permissions to specific functional components, data read and write permissions, and operation scope restrictions, etc.; this ensures the security of system data and the standardization of operations, prevents unauthorized users from accessing or tampering with sensitive data, and avoids production accidents or data leaks caused by misoperation.

[0037] The business component function configuration module can manage user rights and assign corresponding operation rights according to the roles and responsibilities of different users.
