Taking our company's existing two-station compound extrusion live block die as an example, a special-shaped rail forging die usually consists of 6-10 modules (such as Figure 1 (As shown in the figure), the left-hand heel-end mold mainly consists of two long and short limb pre-forging molds, two long and short limb final forging molds, three rail head molds, four shaping plate molds and one rolling plate mold. The right-hand mold is manufactured symmetrically according to the left-hand mold, and the number of modules for a single product reaches 14.

[0003] Among them, the daily mold procurement cycle is 3-6 months, and the molds are usually spare parts in the quantity of 1-2 sets. The number of modules for a single special-shaped rail forging product will reach about 40. Since 2010, the company has nearly 30 types of domestic and foreign rail ends, and the number of existing molds has roughly reached thousands. These more than 1,000 mold materials are stored in 4-5 different locations in reality due to their large quantity, different frequencies of use, and different combinations. Commonly used molds are generally stored around the press equipment in the workshop, and other uncommonly used molds are stored in idle areas such as the general warehouse and factory vacant land. The mold procurement sources are diverse, the marking information is chaotic, the placement management is disordered, there is no effective ledger, there is no effective management, there are long-term difficulties in finding and combining molds, quality traceability, and extensive spare parts resource management. Except for a few long-term operators, others cannot perform mold-related work at all.

The system can update inventory data in real time according to the mold serial number and status information to ensure the accuracy of inventory information, which helps enterprises to accurately grasp the inventory status of the mold, reasonably adjust the procurement plan, and avoid inventory backlog or shortage. The material ledger management module can update the mold status information in real time, such as whether the mold is in use and whether it needs maintenance, which helps enterprises to quickly respond to production needs and reduce production waiting time caused by unclear mold status. Based on the mold status information, enterprises can flexibly adjust production plans to ensure the smooth progress of production tasks, which helps to improve the production efficiency and flexibility of enterprises and respond to market changes. The material ledger management module usually adopts advanced data encryption technology and permission management mechanism to ensure the security of mold data. Only authorized personnel can access and modify relevant data to prevent data leakage or abuse. In summary, the technical advantages of the material ledger management module for maintenance and updating based on mold serial number and mold status information are mainly reflected in improving information accuracy and traceability, optimizing inventory management and resource allocation, improving production efficiency and flexibility, and enhancing data security and compliance. These advantages help enterprises achieve efficient management of mold assets, optimize production processes, improve production efficiency, and reduce operating costs.

[0069] (like Figure 7 , Figure 8 The material ledger management of the present invention can be subdivided into shelf management and mold serial number management. A single mold material corresponds to a mold serial number, and multiple mold serial numbers are grouped together according to the physical placement status and aggregated to a shelf number. The mold serial number has multiple material description attributes, including mold and end product types, such as 60AT1-60, 60AT2-60, 50AT1-50, 60-50, 54E1A1-115RE, 54E1A1-54E1, 60E1A1-60E1 twist, 54E1-BS80A, etc., including left, right, general types, key mold dimensions, such as height, width, thickness, etc., mold drawing number, and mold procurement source.

[0070] The improvement of the present invention also lies in: the material ledger management module is maintained and updated according to the mold serial number and mold status information; wherein the mold status information includes mold collection status information, mold maintenance status information, mold experiment status information, and mold use status information; and all the status information of the mold is correspondingly provided with a status information maintenance function unit, and the status information maintenance function unit is used to maintain all the status information of the mold material 11.

[0071] (like Fig. 9 , Fig.10 (As shown) The combination of mold serial number and shelf is referred to as combination definition, which mainly defines the status of molds on different shelves. According to actual production, the status of a single mold serial number can be divided into five types: reserve, experiment, completed experiment, in use, and expired. The operator will promptly perform status maintenance and update according to the status of the mold; the system will automatically record the operation flow of each information change for traceability query and status confirmation. Changes include the status of the mold, the location of the mold's storage shelf, the mold's storage time, the placement of the mold, etc. The status of the mold serial number on a single shelf is a mold status. During use, if necessary, molds from different shelves can be borrowed for combined operations; after the operation is completed, the combination information of the mold shelf and the mold status will be changed in time.

The double-layer tie rod structure makes it easy for the forklift to insert the fork teeth into the gap between the upper and lower layers of the tie rods for moving operations. A 3-ton forklift can forklift 2 layers of mold shelves at a time. There are 4 lifting hooks designed at the four corners of the mold shelf, which can facilitate the workshop to hoist the four corners for smooth operation and prevent the mold from slipping. When operating, 4 layers of mold shelves can be lifted at the same time.

[0074] In the above embodiment, further: when the mold shelf is used to place a complete set of mold materials 11, the middle of the mold shelf is used to place the rail head mold 3, the left side of the mold shelf is used to place the pre-forging mold 2, and the right side of the mold shelf is used to place the final forging mold 1; the top of the rail head mold 3 is used to stack the rolling plate mold 4-1, and the top of the final forging mold 1 is used to stack the shaping plate mold 4. When the mold shelf is used to place non-complete sets of molds, they are placed in the form that is closest to the use requirements.

[0080] (like Fig.11 , Fig.12(as shown) The mold serial number 12 and the shelf number are managed in a storage location manner, and the multi-layer shelf storage area is collectively referred to as the mold storage area. When a new mold is put into storage, the mold serial number 12 of the new mold needs to be entered and combined with the shelf number; when it is used daily, the in-and-out management mode is adopted. When the mold is taken out of the warehouse, the mold is mainly divided into two categories, namely production and experimental. When taking, enter (scan code recognition or manual input) the mold serial number M00000 or the shelf number H0000, and the system will present the mold serial number placed on the mold shelf on the taking interface according to the mold entry information. Increase or decrease the selection according to the needs of taking. After confirmation, click "Submit" to complete the out-of-warehouse taking. After use, when returning to the warehouse, enter (scan code or manually) the random mold serial number that has been out of the warehouse again, and the system will automatically obtain the chained out-of-warehouse mold. In order to ensure the accuracy of the mold in-and-out data, the serial number of each mold must be confirmed one by one before the return operation can be performed.
