[0025] It has been found through research that machine tools need to frequently change the cutting tools they use. However, cutting tools are not disposable tools. Therefore, it is necessary to manage the scheduling and allocation of cutting tools. Currently, the manual allocation method is still used to manage cutting tools. However, there is a possibility of incorrect allocation in manual allocation. It may be that the cutting tool allocation is unreasonable, or it may be incorrect during the cutting tool allocation process. That is, both Tool A and Tool B are applicable to Machine A and Machine B, and Tool B is only applicable to Machine A. However, in manual allocation, Tool A will be allocated to Machine A. At this time, Machine B also needs to work, but there is no available cutting tool. Tool A was originally intended for Machine A, but as a result, Machine A uses Tool B. However, in the record of the allocator, it is still recorded that Tool A is in Machine A, resulting in confusion in the subsequent allocation process.
[0026] Based on the above research, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a central intelligent tool magazine system that supports multi-machine sharing. An identity is set for each cutting tool, and various information is recorded in real time in the identity. Through centralized allocation of each cutting tool, each cutting tool can be used reasonably, avoiding the phenomenon of machine stoppage, and cooperating with automatic transportation to avoid confusion during the transfer process.

[0068] The disclosures and other solutions, examples, embodiments, modules, and functional operations described in this document can be implemented in digital electronic circuitry, or in computer software, firmware, or hardware, including the structures disclosed herein and their structural equivalents, or in combinations of one or more of them. The disclosed content and other embodiments can be implemented as one or more computer program products, i.e., modules of computer program instructions encoded on a tangible and non-transitory computer-readable medium for execution by, or to control the operation of, a data processing apparatus. The computer-readable medium can be a machine-readable storage device, a machine-readable storage substrate, a memory device, a composition of matter affecting a machine-readable propagated signal, or a combination of one or more of them. The term “data processing unit” or “data processing apparatus” includes all apparatuses, devices, and machines for processing data, including, for example, programmable processors, computers, or multiprocessors or groups of computers. In addition to hardware, the apparatus can also include code that creates an execution environment for the computer program, e.g., code constituting processor firmware, a protocol stack, a database management system, an operating system, or a combination of one or more of them. A propagated signal is an artificially generated signal, e.g., a machine-generated electrical, optical, or electromagnetic signal, which is generated to encode information for transmission to a suitable receiver device.
[0069] A computer program (also called a program, software, software application, script, or code) can be written in any form of programming language (including a compiled or interpreted language) and can be deployed in any form, including as a stand-alone program or as a module, component, subroutine, or other unit suitable for use in a computing environment. A computer program does not necessarily correspond to a file in a file system. The program can be stored in a portion of a file that holds other programs or data (e.g., one or more scripts stored in a markup language document), in a single file dedicated to the program, or in multiple coordinated files (e.g., files that store one or more modules, subroutines, or portions of code). A computer program can be deployed to be executed on one or more computers that are located at one site or distributed across multiple sites and interconnected by a communication network.
[0070] The processing and logic flows described in this document can be performed by one or more programmable processors that execute one or more computer programs to perform functions by operating on input data and generating output. The processing and logic flows can also be performed by special-purpose logic circuitry, and the apparatus can also be implemented as special-purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit).
[0071] For example, a processor suitable for executing a computer program includes general and special purpose microprocessors, as well as any one or more of any type of digital computer. Generally, a processor will receive instructions and data from a read only memory or a random access memory or both. The basic components of a computer are a processor that executes instructions and one or more storage devices that store the instructions and data. Generally, a computer will also include one or more mass storage devices for storing data, such as, for example, magnetic disks, magneto-optical disks, or optical disks, or operatively coupled to receive data from a mass storage device or to transfer data to a mass storage device, or both. However, a computer need not have such devices. Computer-readable media suitable for storing computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, media, and memory devices, including, for example, semiconductor memory devices such as erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM), electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), and flash memory devices; magnetic disks, such as internal hard disks or removable disks; magneto-optical disks; and compact disk read only memory (CD ROM) and digital versatile disk read only memory (DVD-ROM) disks. The processor and the memory may be supplemented by, or incorporated in, special purpose logic circuitry.

Certain features described in the context of separate embodiments of this patent document may also be implemented in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various functions described in the context of a single embodiment may also be implemented separately in multiple embodiments, or in any suitable sub-combination. Additionally, although the above features may be described as acting in certain combinations, and even initially claimed as such, in some cases, one or more features from a claimed combination may be removed from the combination, and the claimed combination may be directed to a sub-combination or a variant of a sub-combination.
[0073] Similarly, although operations are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this should not be understood to mean that such operations must be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order to achieve a desired result, or that all illustrated operations must be performed. Additionally, the separation of various system components in the embodiments of this patent document should not be understood to mean that such separation is required in all embodiments.
[0074] Only some implementations and examples have been described, and other implementations, enhancements, and variations may be made based on what is described and illustrated in this patent document.
[0075] When there is no intermediate component other than a wire, trace, or another medium between a first component and a second component, the first component is directly coupled to the second component. When there is an intermediate component between the first component and the second component other than a wire, trace, or another medium, the first component is indirectly coupled to the second component. The term "coupled" and its variants include both direct coupling and indirect coupling. Unless otherwise specified, the use of the term "about" means including a range of plus or minus 10% of the numerical value.

The current examples are considered illustrative rather than restrictive and are not limited to the details given.
