[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of equipment monitoring, and in particular to a method, a device, a computer device and a storage medium for monitoring equipment in a three-dimensional warehouse. Background Art

[0002] Warehouse Control System (WCS) is a system used to manage and control the operation processes of various equipment in a three-dimensional warehouse, which can realize the efficient coordinated operation of warehouse automation equipment.

[0003] At present, the existing technology often uses video surveillance to monitor the operation of WCS equipment. This method has a better visual effect and can intuitively feel the actual operation of the equipment. However, the three-dimensional warehouse in the logistics industry is often very large, with many devices in the three-dimensional warehouse. Video surveillance cannot display the operating status of all equipment on a limited screen interface. This results in some problematic equipment not being observed in time, and thus unable to be maintained in time, which easily affects the working efficiency of the equipment. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a stereoscopic warehouse equipment monitoring method, device, computer equipment and storage medium to solve the problem that the existing video monitoring method is difficult to simultaneously display the operating status of all WCS equipment, cannot promptly maintain problematic equipment, and easily affects the working efficiency of the equipment.

[0006] Obtaining equipment monitoring maps, which include maps corresponding to various types of stereoscopic warehouse equipment; wherein the stereoscopic warehouse equipment includes stackers, conveyor lines and warehouse areas;

[0007] In response to the current status signal sent by the stereoscopic library equipment, the attribute information of the corresponding map is adjusted according to the current status signal to obtain an updated equipment monitoring map; wherein the attribute information includes the shape of the map, the position of the map and / or the color of the map used to characterize the working status of the equipment;

It can display the operating status of all three-dimensional warehouse equipment, which is convenient for relevant staff to view in real time, allowing relevant personnel to promptly discover equipment operating problems and perform maintenance, thereby improving equipment work efficiency and user experience.

[0010] In some optional implementations, obtaining a device monitoring map includes:

[0011] In response to the interactive instructions input by the user through the browser page, the maps corresponding to various types of stereoscopic warehouse equipment and the attribute information of the maps are configured, and the mapping relationship between the attribute information of the maps and the status signals of the stereoscopic warehouse equipment is established to generate a device monitoring map;

[0012] Displays an updated device monitoring map, including:

[0013] The updated device monitoring map is displayed on the browser page.

[0014] Beneficial effect: In the embodiment of the present invention, the user edits the map of the stereoscopic warehouse equipment in the browser page and uses the map to draw the equipment monitoring map, and displays the updated equipment monitoring map in the browser page. In this way, only one deployment of the website is required to achieve the effect of multiple users using the browser, and multiple users are supported to view the equipment operation status in the huge stereoscopic warehouse system.

[0015] In some optional implementations, when the three-dimensional warehouse equipment is a stacker, the attribute information of the corresponding map is adjusted according to the current state signal to obtain an updated equipment monitoring map, including:

[0016] According to the current state signal sent by the stacker, the current walking axis, the walking axis signal value and the first working state signal of the stacker are obtained;

[0017] According to the walking axis signal value and the track range of the current walking axis, the relative position of the stacker on the current walking axis is calculated, and the first color corresponding to the first working state signal is determined;

[0018] The shape of the current travel axis map is adjusted using the track range, the position of the stacker map in the current travel axis map is adjusted using the relative position, and the color of the stacker map is adjusted to the first color to obtain an updated equipment monitoring map.

[0019] Beneficial effects: The present invention determines the track range of the current walking axis and adjusts the shape of the map of the current walking axis, so that the map of the current walking axis can intuitively present the starting point and end point of the current travel of the stacker, and adjusts the stacker map to the corresponding proportional position of the current walking axis according to the relative position of the stacker relative to the current walking axis, so that the user can intuitively view the current travel progress of the stacker. In addition, the map color is adjusted using the color corresponding to the working state, so that the user can determine which working state the stacker is in by the map color, thereby improving the efficiency of equipment monitoring.

[0020] In some optional implementations, the attribute information of the stacker map further includes a walking axis overflow attribute; the relative position of the stacker on the current walking axis is calculated according to the walking axis signal value and the track range of the current walking axis, including:

[0021] According to the track range of the current walking axis, the starting point value and the end point value of the walking axis are obtained;

[0022] According to the difference between the walking axis signal value and the walking axis starting point value, the ratio between the difference and the walking axis end point value is calculated, and according to the ratio, it is judged whether the stacker exceeds the track range of the current walking axis;

[0023] If the stacker exceeds the track range of the current travel axis, and the travel axis overflow attribute indicates that the comparison value is normalized, the relative position of the stacker is obtained according to the normalized ratio;

[0024] If the stacker does not exceed the track range of the current travel axis, the ratio is used as the relative position.

[0025] Beneficial effects: The present invention determines the relative position of the stacker map relative to the walking axis map by calculating the ratio of the track signal value to the track range of the current walking axis, so as to facilitate adjusting the stacker map to the corresponding proportional position of the current walking axis, so that the user can intuitively view the progress of the stacker's cargo release journey. In addition, when the stacker exceeds the track range of the current walking axis and the walking axis overflow attribute indicates that standardization is required, the stacker map is directly adjusted to the end or starting point of the current walking axis, so as to smooth the stacker map, which is conducive to providing the aesthetics and visual presentation effect of the stacker map.

[0026] In some optional implementations, the first working state signal is an array, and determining the first color corresponding to the first working state signal includes:

[0027] Traversing each array element in the first working state signal to detect whether the array complies with a preset coloring rule; wherein the array element includes a state signal name and a state signal value;

[0028] If the array complies with the preset coloring rule, a first color corresponding to the first working state signal is obtained according to the preset coloring rule.

[0029] Beneficial effect: The present invention compares the array elements corresponding to the first working state signal with the array elements of the preset coloring rule one by one to determine whether the first working state signal hits the preset coloring rule. If it hits, the color set by the coloring rule is used as the first color that needs to be adjusted for the stacker map. In this way, the map color of the stacker is consistent and corresponding to its actual working state. The user can determine which working state the stacker is in by the map color, thereby improving the efficiency of equipment monitoring.

[0030] In some optional implementations, when the stereoscopic warehouse equipment is a conveyor line, the attribute information of the corresponding map is adjusted according to the current state signal to obtain an updated equipment monitoring map, including:

[0031] According to the current state signal sent by the conveyor line, the conveyor line direction, the second working state signal and the second color corresponding to the second working state signal are obtained;

[0032] The indication direction of the conveyor line map is adjusted using the conveyor line direction, and the map color of the conveyor line map is adjusted to a second color to obtain an updated equipment monitoring map.

[0033] Beneficial effects: The present invention adjusts the transport direction indicated by the map according to the current conveyor line direction of the conveyor line, so that the user can directly view the direction of cargo transportation, and adjusts the map color so that the user can determine the working state of the conveyor line by the map color, thereby improving equipment monitoring efficiency.

[0035] Based on the color of the stereoscopic warehouse equipment map in the equipment monitoring map, detect whether the corresponding stereoscopic warehouse equipment has a fault;

[0036] If the corresponding three-dimensional warehouse equipment fails, an alarm will be prompted.

[0037] Beneficial effect: The present invention detects whether a 3D warehouse equipment fails according to the color of the map. If a device failure is detected, an alarm is triggered to prompt the user to perform repairs in time to ensure the normal operation of the storage system.

[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] At present, video surveillance is often used to monitor the operation of WCS equipment. However, there are many stereoscopic warehouses in the logistics industry, and video surveillance cannot display the operating status of all equipment on a screen interface of limited size, resulting in some problematic equipment not being observed and maintained in time, affecting the equipment's working efficiency.

[0056] In addition, the WCS equipment monitoring map based on form software is a map application implemented in a form application for real-time monitoring and management of WCS equipment, but this method can only be displayed on a single computer. The three-dimensional warehouse in the logistics industry is often very large, and there is a need to display equipment monitoring maps on multiple computers, and often it is necessary to display equipment monitoring maps on the web page.

[0057] Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention provides a three-dimensional warehouse equipment monitoring method, which uses maps corresponding to physical three-dimensional warehouse equipment to draw equipment monitoring maps, and monitors the status signals currently emitted by the three-dimensional warehouse equipment in real time, and then adjusts the shape, position and color of the corresponding maps used to characterize the working status of the equipment. It can display the operating status of all three-dimensional warehouse equipment, which is convenient for relevant staff to view in real time, facilitate timely discovery of equipment operating problems and maintenance, and improve equipment working efficiency and user experience.

[0058] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for monitoring equipment in a three-dimensional warehouse is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0059] In this embodiment, a method for monitoring equipment in a three-dimensional warehouse is provided, which can be used for computer equipment such as mobile phones, tablet computers, etc. for equipment monitoring. Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for monitoring a stereoscopic warehouse device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0060] Step S101, obtaining an equipment monitoring map, the equipment monitoring map includes maps corresponding to various types of three-dimensional warehouse equipment; wherein the three-dimensional warehouse equipment includes stackers, conveyor lines and warehouse areas.

[0061] Specifically, the stereoscopic warehouse equipment is a general term for a series of equipment used in the automated stereoscopic warehouse (Automated Storage and Retrieval System, AS / RS). The automated stereoscopic warehouse is a warehouse that uses high-rise shelves to store goods and uses computer control and automated equipment to perform goods storage and retrieval operations. These stereoscopic warehouse equipment can make full use of the warehouse space, improve the storage and handling efficiency of goods, and realize the automation and intelligence of warehousing operations. Exemplarily, the stereoscopic warehouse equipment may include stackers, conveyor lines, and storage areas, but the equipment used in the warehouse can be adjusted according to the actual scenario.

[0062] Step S102, in response to the current status signal sent by the stereoscopic library equipment, adjust the attribute information of the corresponding map according to the current status signal to obtain an updated equipment monitoring map; wherein the attribute information includes the map shape, map position and / or map color used to characterize the working status of the equipment.

[0063] Specifically, the communication method between the three-dimensional library device and the monitoring device can be a network protocol (such as TCP, UDP, etc.) or a serial communication (such as RS232, RS485, etc.). If it is a network communication, a socket library can be used to create a socket to establish a connection between the monitoring device and the three-dimensional library device. The three-dimensional library device sends a status signal in an agreed format, and the monitoring device parses the status signal in a corresponding format to obtain key information such as the working status and position of the three-dimensional library device.

[0064] Furthermore, the stereoscopic warehouse equipment is associated with the corresponding sticker on the equipment monitoring map, so that the sticker to be adjusted can be quickly located according to the received status signal. The status signals of all received devices are traversed, and the corresponding sticker object is found according to the device identification. Then, the shape, position and color of the sticker are adjusted according to the key information parsed. Among them, the sticker color is used to represent the working status of the equipment. For example, if the equipment is operating normally, it can be displayed green, and if a fault occurs, it can be displayed red.

[0065] Step S103, displaying the updated equipment monitoring map to monitor the equipment in the three-dimensional warehouse.

[0066] Specifically, the equipment monitoring map is updated in real time with the status signal of the three-dimensional warehouse equipment. In this way, as long as the status of the three-dimensional warehouse equipment changes, the corresponding map of the equipment monitoring map will change accordingly. Relevant staff can know the current status of the three-dimensional warehouse equipment by checking the shape, position and color of the map in the equipment monitoring map.

[0067] The stereoscopic warehouse equipment monitoring method provided in this embodiment obtains the equipment monitoring map and the map corresponding to the physical stereoscopic warehouse equipment, and monitors the status signal currently emitted by the stereoscopic warehouse equipment in real time, and then adjusts the shape, position and color of the corresponding map used to characterize the working status of the equipment. It can display the operating status of all stereoscopic warehouse equipment, which is convenient for relevant staff to view in real time, so that relevant personnel can promptly discover equipment operating problems and perform maintenance, thereby improving equipment work efficiency and user experience.

[0068] In this embodiment, a method for monitoring equipment in a three-dimensional warehouse is provided, which can be used for computer equipment such as mobile phones, tablet computers, etc. for equipment monitoring. Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for monitoring a stereoscopic warehouse device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0069] Step S201, obtaining an equipment monitoring map, the equipment monitoring map includes maps corresponding to various types of three-dimensional warehouse equipment; wherein the three-dimensional warehouse equipment includes stackers, conveyor lines and warehouse areas.

[0070] Specifically, in response to interactive instructions input by the user through the browser page, the maps corresponding to various types of stereoscopic warehouse equipment and the attribute information of the maps are configured, and a mapping relationship between the attribute information of the maps and the status signals of the stereoscopic warehouse equipment is established to generate a device monitoring map.

[0071] In some optional implementations, for stereoscopic warehouse equipment, it is necessary to draw a map for the stacker, conveyor line, and warehouse area respectively. The stacker map display has the following requirements: it needs to be able to display the stacker position according to the track range of the stacker's walking axis and the current walking axis; it needs to change the color of the map according to the status signal of the stacker, such as displaying red when an alarm occurs and displaying dark when there is stock. The conveyor line map display has the following requirements: the map needs to have an arrow to indicate the transportation direction of the conveyor line; it needs to change the color of the map according to the status signal of the conveyor line, such as displaying red when an alarm occurs and displaying dark when there is stock. The warehouse area map only needs to display the inventory number text.

[0072] For example, Figure 3As shown, for the stacker, five markups need to be specified for the stacker map: 1) markup with tagName as path and selector as body, which is used to display the stacker track; 2) markup with tagName as path and selector as arrowStart, which is used to display the starting position of the stacker track; 3) markup with tagName as path and selector as arrowEnd, which is used to display the end arrow of the stacker track; 4) markup with tagName as text and selector as label, which is used to display the stacker number; 4) markup with tagName as path and selector as srm, which is used to display the position of the stacker device itself.

[0073] For example, Figure 4 As shown in the figure, for the conveyor line map, three markups need to be specified: 1) the markup with tagName as rect and selector as body is used to display the rectangular shape of the conveyor line itself; 2) the markup with tagName as path and selector as arrow is used to indicate the direction arrow of the conveyor line; 3) the markup with tagName as text and selector as label is used to display the conveyor line number.

[0074] For example, Figure 5 As shown, for the warehouse area map, two markups need to be specified: 1) the markup with tagName as rect and selector as body is used to display the rectangular shape of the warehouse area itself; 2) the markup with tagName as text and selector as label is used to display the warehouse area number.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present invention, a user edits a sticker of a stereoscopic warehouse device in a browser page and uses the sticker to draw a device monitoring map, and displays the updated device monitoring map in the browser page. In this way, only one website deployment is required to achieve the effect of multiple users using the browser, and multiple users are supported to view the device operating status in a large stereoscopic warehouse system.

[0076] Step S202, in response to the current status signal sent by the stereoscopic library equipment, adjust the attribute information of the corresponding map according to the current status signal to obtain an updated equipment monitoring map; wherein the attribute information includes the map shape, map position and / or map color used to characterize the working status of the equipment.

[0077] Specifically, the above step S202 includes:

[0078] Step S2021, obtaining the current traveling axis, traveling axis signal value and the first working state signal of the stacker according to the current state signal sent by the stacker.

[0079] Specifically, for a stacker, in order to display the stacker position according to the track range of the walking axis and the current walking axis, it is necessary to specify the track range of the current walking axis, the walking axis starting point value, and the walking axis end point value in the attribute information of the stacker map. For example, the working state of the stacker may include a state of having goods, a state of failure, etc. When the working state of the stacker changes, a corresponding working state signal will be issued.

[0080] Step S2022, according to the walking axis signal value and the track range of the current walking axis, the relative position of the stacker on the current walking axis is calculated, and the first color corresponding to the first working state signal is determined.

[0081] In some optional implementations, the attribute information of the stacker map further includes a walking axis overflow attribute; the above step S2022 includes:

[0082] Step a1, obtaining the walking axis starting point value and the walking axis end point value according to the track range of the current walking axis.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present invention, the stacker's travel track can be represented by multiple linear walking axes, each walking axis corresponds to a coordinate value interval, the track starting point corresponds to the walking axis starting value, the track end point corresponds to the walking axis end value, and the walking axis starting value is less than the walking axis end value.

[0084] Step a2, according to the difference between the walking axis signal value and the walking axis starting point value, calculate the ratio between the difference and the walking axis end point value, and judge whether the stacker exceeds the track range of the current walking axis according to the ratio.

[0085] Specifically, the walking axis signal value indicates the current position of the stacker, and the ratio of the current position of the stacker to the walking axis range is X=(walking axis signal value-walking axis starting point value) / walking axis end point value.

[0086] Step a3: If the stacker exceeds the track range of the current travel axis, and the travel axis overflow attribute indicates that the comparison value is normalized, then the relative position of the stacker is obtained according to the normalized ratio.

[0087] Specifically, the walking axis signal value of some stackers when releasing goods to the conveyor line is not necessarily between the walking axis starting value and the walking axis end value, and it is necessary to add a walking axis overflow attribute to indicate whether to ignore the overflow. If the ratio X>1 or X<0, it means that the current position of the stacker exceeds the track range of the current walking axis. At this time, it is necessary to determine whether standardization is required based on the walking axis overflow attribute. If necessary, set X=1 or X=0, that is, if the stacker goes out of the track range of the current walking axis, it is regarded as the stacker running to the end or starting point of the current walking axis, so as to smooth the stacker map, which is conducive to providing the aesthetics and visual presentation of the stacker map.

[0088] Step a4: If the stacker does not exceed the track range of the current travel axis, the ratio is used as the relative position.

[0089] Specifically, if 0≤X≤1, it means that the stacker has not exceeded the track range of the current travel axis. Figure 3 , according to the obtained ratio, the stacker map is displayed at the corresponding proportional position of the track.

[0090] In this embodiment, by calculating the ratio of the track signal value to the track range of the current walking axis, the relative position of the stacker map to the walking axis map is determined, so that the stacker map can be adjusted to the corresponding proportional position of the current walking axis, so that the user can intuitively view the progress of the stacker's cargo release journey. In addition, when the stacker exceeds the track range of the current walking axis and the walking axis overflow attribute indicates that standardization is required, the stacker map is directly adjusted to the end or starting point of the current walking axis, so as to smooth the stacker map, which is conducive to providing the aesthetics and visual presentation effect of the stacker map.

[0091] In some optional embodiments, the first working status signal is an array, and each array element in the first working status signal is traversed to detect whether the array complies with a preset coloring rule; wherein the array element includes a status signal name and a status signal value; if the array complies with the preset coloring rule, then according to the preset coloring rule, a first color corresponding to the first working status signal is obtained.

[0092] Specifically, in order to change the fill color of the map according to the value of the electrical signal, a more complex coloring rule attribute is required to facilitate developers to customize the coloring rules. The coloring rules can also be represented by an array: colorRule:[string,bool,string,string], where the first string element can be used to represent the state signal name; the bool element is a judgment condition, and the corresponding coloring rule can only be applied when its value is true; the second string element can be used to represent the state signal value; and the third string element represents the coloring color. If the array of the working state signal hits the preset coloring rule (that is, the array elements match the elements of the corresponding coloring rule one by one), the color set by the coloring rule will be used as the color that needs to be adjusted for the stacker map.

[0093] In this embodiment, the array elements corresponding to the first working state signal are compared with the array elements of the preset coloring rule one by one to determine whether the first working state signal hits the preset coloring rule. If it hits, the color set by the coloring rule is used as the first color that needs to be adjusted for the stacker map. In this way, the map color of the stacker is consistent and corresponding to its actual working state. The user can determine which working state the stacker is in by the map color, thereby improving the efficiency of equipment monitoring.

[0094] Step S2023, using the track range to adjust the shape of the current travel axis map, using the relative position to adjust the stacker map's position in the current travel axis map, and adjusting the stacker map's color to the first color to obtain an updated equipment monitoring map.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the present invention determines the track range of the current walking axis and adjusts the shape of the map of the current walking axis so that the map of the current walking axis intuitively presents the starting point and end point of the current travel of the stacker, and adjusts the map of the stacker to the corresponding proportional position of the current walking axis according to the relative position of the stacker relative to the current walking axis, so that the user can intuitively view the current travel progress of the stacker. In addition, the map color is adjusted using the color corresponding to the working state, so that the user can determine which working state the stacker is in by the map color, thereby improving the efficiency of equipment monitoring.

[0096] In some optional implementations, when the stereoscopic warehouse equipment is a conveyor line, the conveyor line direction, the second working state signal, and the second color corresponding to the second working state signal are obtained according to the current state signal emitted by the conveyor line. Then, the conveyor line direction is used to adjust the indication direction of the conveyor line map, and the map color of the conveyor line map is adjusted to the second color to obtain an updated equipment monitoring map. The specific implementation process can refer to the adjustment process of the stacker mentioned above, which will not be repeated here.

[0097] Step S203, displaying the updated equipment monitoring map to monitor the equipment in the three-dimensional warehouse.

[0098] Specifically, the updated equipment monitoring map is displayed in the browser page. Based on the color of the stereoscopic warehouse equipment map in the equipment monitoring map, it is detected whether the corresponding stereoscopic warehouse equipment has a fault. If the corresponding stereoscopic warehouse equipment has a fault, an alarm is prompted. For example, if it is detected that the color of the map of a device has turned red, an alarm message is issued to prompt the user to perform maintenance in time to ensure the normal operation of the storage system.

[0099] The stereoscopic warehouse equipment monitoring method of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to a specific application example.

[0100] This application example builds a device monitoring map based on X6. X6 is AntV's open source map editing engine based on HTML and SVG. It provides low-cost customization capabilities and built-in extensions that are ready to use, allowing developers to quickly build DAG diagrams, ER diagrams, flow charts, bloodline diagrams and other applications, thereby building a WCS device monitoring map that users can use in a browser.

[0101] This application example mainly includes the following steps:

[0102] Step 1: Design a texture shape for the stereo library device.

[0103] Specifically, for stereoscopic warehouse equipment, you need to draw a shape for the stacker, conveyor line, and storage area respectively. For the stacker: it is necessary to be able to display the stacker position according to the travel axis range and the current travel axis; the color of the shape needs to be changed according to the stacker signal, such as the shape displays red when an alarm occurs, and the shape displays dark when there is stock. For the conveyor line: an arrow is required to indicate the transportation direction of the conveyor line; the color of the shape needs to be changed according to the conveyor line signal, such as the shape displays red when an alarm occurs, and the shape displays dark when there is stock. For the storage area, you only need to display the inventory number text.

[0104] Step 2: Set business attribute data for the sticker shape.

[0105] Specifically, for stackers, in order to display the stacker position according to the walking axis range and the current walking axis, it is necessary to specify the walking axis range and the walking axis starting value and the walking axis end value in the data attribute. When some stackers release goods to the conveyor line, the signal value of the walking axis is not necessarily between the walking axis starting value and the walking axis end value, and it is necessary to add a walking axis overflow attribute to indicate whether to ignore overflow. In order to change the fill color of the shape according to the electrical signal value, a more complex coloring rule attribute is required to facilitate developers to customize the coloring rules. For example, the data attributes of the stacker map are as follows:

[0106] data:{

[0107] colorRule:[string,bool,string,string][]; / / coloring rules

[0108] walkTarget: string; / / walking axis signal name

[0109] walkMin:null; / / minimum value of walking axis

[0110] walkMax:null; / / maximum value of walking axis

[0111] walkIgnoreOverflow:boolean; / / Whether to ignore walking axis overflow

[0112] }

[0113] Specifically, for the conveyor line map, in order to change the fill color of the shape according to the electrical signal value, a more complex coloring rule attribute is also required to facilitate developers to customize the coloring rule. For example, the data attribute of the conveyor line map is as follows:

[0114] data:{

[0115] colorRule:[string,bool,string,string][]; / / coloring rules

[0116] }

[0117] Specifically, for the library area, no attributes need to be specified in data.

[0118] Step 3: Display the device map on the device monitoring map.

[0119] like Figure 6 As shown, the backend pushes the current walking axis signal value of the stacker through websocket. If the walking axis signal value is pushed and is not empty / non-numeric, the relative position of the stacker equipment map is calculated, and it is determined whether the relative position of the stacker equipment map overflows. If it overflows and the attribute of whether to ignore overflow in data is not true, the relative position is standardized and the stacker equipment map position is smoothly modified.

[0120] Figure 7The figure shows the logic of the coloring rule for the stacker map shape. The coloring rule is an array. The data type of each item in the array is [string, bool, string, string]. The first string element represents the status signal name. The corresponding coloring rule can only be applied when the bool element is true. The second string element represents the status signal value. The third string element represents the coloring color.

[0121] See again Figure 7 , the backend pushes a list of signal names and a list of signal values. If the corresponding state signal hits the coloring rule, traverse each item of the coloring rule array to ensure that the signal name and signal value of the corresponding state signal correspond to the state signal name and state signal value of the coloring rule array. The color set by the third string element of the coloring rule is used as the color that needs to be adjusted for the corresponding map, and coloring is performed.

[0122] This application example is based on the WCS equipment monitoring map built on the browser. Compared with the form map editor, it only needs to deploy the website once to achieve the effect of multiple users using the browser, which is conducive to multiple users viewing the equipment status in a large three-dimensional library system.
