[0041] Example 1

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method embodiment of a pipeline processing method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0043] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a pipeline processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the processing system of this production line includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S202: Monitor the emergency stop components on the target production line and obtain the monitoring results. The emergency stop components are used to indicate that the corresponding process has an abnormality.

[0045] Optionally, the target production line mentioned above can be a production line in a production workshop, also known as a production line. It refers to a series of sequentially arranged processes, each of which is responsible for a part of the product manufacturing process. The product is transferred from one process to the next until it is finally completed.

[0046] Optionally, there can be one or more emergency stop components. When the target production line is relatively short, only one emergency stop component is needed; when the target production line is relatively long, multiple emergency stop components can be set.

[0047] Optionally, the aforementioned emergency stop component can be an emergency stop button on the assembly line. For example, an emergency stop button can be equipped at each workstation on the assembly line to stop the assembly line in case of emergency or untimely process handling. That is, when an abnormality occurs in the process (e.g., the task cannot be completed in time, a malfunction occurs, abnormal operation occurs, process parameters deviate, tool wear occurs, software failure occurs, etc.), the emergency stop component can be triggered to prompt the corresponding personnel to carry out maintenance or corresponding handling.

[0048] Optionally, a programmable logic controller (PLC) or similar control device can be used to monitor and record the number of times each emergency stop button is pressed and its duration. The type of monitoring component is not specifically limited here.

[0049] In this embodiment, during the operation of the production line, the emergency stop component is continuously monitored, and the number of emergency stops and the duration of emergency stops are recorded to assess the stability of each process.

[0050] Step S204: When determining the cumulative number of times the emergency stop component is triggered and the emergency stop duration based on the monitoring results, and thus determining that there is a bottleneck process in the target production line, the moving speed of the target production line is adjusted. Here, the bottleneck process is the process in the target production line that needs to be adjusted, and the emergency stop duration is the duration of each time the emergency stop component is triggered.

[0051] Optionally, in this embodiment of the invention, the emergency stop duration refers to the duration during which the emergency stop component is pressed each time within a certain period of time.

[0052] In this embodiment, the presence of a bottleneck process on the production line can be determined using the monitoring results described above. Specifically, a threshold is set, and if the number of times the emergency stop button is pressed and the duration exceeds this threshold, the workstation is identified as a bottleneck process. When a bottleneck process is detected, the production line's movement speed is adjusted accordingly.

[0053] Step S206: After the target production line runs at the adjusted speed, obtain the current production volume on the target production line.

[0054] In this embodiment, while the production line is running at the adjusted speed, the current production volume can be obtained as a basis for subsequent processing of the production line.

[0055] Step S208: When the current production volume is less than the target production volume, adjust the bottleneck process so that the production volume of the target production line meets the target production volume.

[0056] Optionally, the target output here refers to the output that the target production line needs to achieve in a project or phase.

[0057] In this embodiment, if the production line speed cannot meet the production demand even after it has decreased, the PLC can issue an abnormal alarm to prompt manual intervention.

[0058] Here, an emergency stop button is installed at each workstation and connected to a central control system (such as a PLC). The system periodically checks the status of the emergency stop buttons, recording the timestamp and duration of each trigger. Based on the number and duration of emergency stops, the system analyzes the data. If the number of emergency stops at a workstation exceeds a preset threshold within a preset period, or the cumulative duration of emergency stops exceeds a preset duration threshold, the system marks that workstation as a potential bottleneck process. Once a bottleneck process is identified, the system automatically adjusts the speed of the associated production line segment, for example, reducing it by 3%. The adjusted speed should ensure that the production line can continue to operate while giving operators more time to handle processes.

[0059] As described above, in this embodiment of the invention, the emergency stop component on the target production line can be monitored to obtain monitoring results. The emergency stop component is used to indicate an abnormality in the corresponding process. When the cumulative number of times the emergency stop component is triggered and the duration of the emergency stop are determined based on the monitoring results, indicating a bottleneck process in the target production line, the movement speed of the target production line is adjusted. The bottleneck process is the process in the target production line that requires adjustment. After the target production line runs at the adjusted speed, the current production volume on the target production line is obtained. When the current production volume is less than the target production volume, the bottleneck process is adjusted to ensure that the production volume of the target production line meets the target production volume. This achieves real-time adjustment of the production line speed via the emergency stop button, automatic identification of bottleneck processes, and rapid adjustment of the production line speed according to actual working conditions, thereby reducing the number of emergency stops, stabilizing the production cycle, and improving overall production efficiency.

[0060] Therefore, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention solve the technical problem in the related art where the production switching of different products or the difference in employee proficiency may lead to a mismatch between the production line speed and the production cycle during the automated production process, thereby affecting production efficiency and stability.

[0061] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, monitoring the emergency stop component on the target production line and obtaining monitoring results includes: detecting the triggering operation of the emergency stop component during the operation of the target production line and obtaining detection results; when the detection results indicate that the emergency stop component is triggered, recording the number of emergency stops of the emergency stop component, and simultaneously calculating the total duration of each trigger of the emergency stop component to obtain monitoring results.

[0062] This can be achieved by equipping each workstation on the production line with an emergency stop button, which can be used to stop the production line in case of emergencies or delays in process handling. At the same time, a programmable logic controller (PLC) or similar control device can be used to monitor and record the number of times the emergency stop button is pressed and the duration of each press.

[0063] In addition, the duration of each emergency stop button press is recorded and analyzed, and the following judgments are made: if the duration of the emergency stop button press is basically the same within a certain period of time, it indicates that the speed is too fast, because the time for the same person to complete a process is fixed. If the duration of each emergency stop at this workstation is almost the same, it is determined that there is not enough time to process the process and the production line needs to be stopped to make up for it.

[0064] In this embodiment, the monitoring system records the trigger status of the emergency stop button during each monitoring cycle of the production line operation. If the emergency stop button is triggered, the system starts timing and records the total duration and number of emergency stops as the basis for subsequent analysis.

[0065] By accurately recording emergency stop data, PLCs can more accurately identify bottleneck processes, thereby more effectively adjusting production line speed, reducing unnecessary downtime, and improving production continuity and overall efficiency.

[0066] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, determining the existence of a bottleneck process in the target production line by determining the cumulative number of times the emergency stop component is triggered and the emergency stop duration based on the monitoring results includes: determining that there is a bottleneck process in the target production line when the cumulative number of times exceeds the emergency stop number threshold and / or the emergency stop duration exceeds the emergency stop duration threshold, wherein the emergency stop number threshold and the emergency stop duration threshold are thresholds set based on the historical operating data of the target production line.

[0067] In this embodiment, the system sets thresholds for the number of emergency stops and the duration of emergency stops based on historical operating data and production line characteristics. These thresholds represent the reasonable frequency and duration of emergency stops under normal operating conditions; exceeding the thresholds indicates the presence of a potential bottleneck.

[0068] In addition, the aforementioned thresholds for the number of emergency stops and the duration of emergency stops can also be determined through various other methods, such as: 1) Expert experience method: estimating a reasonable threshold based on the experience and expertise of factory engineers or production managers. This method is particularly suitable for the initial stages of new production lines or processes when historical data is insufficient. For example, experts may estimate the reasonable frequency and duration of emergency stops based on the production line's design capabilities and the operator's proficiency; 2) Simulation and testing method: predicting the frequency and duration of emergency stops by building models or conducting laboratory tests before the production line or process is officially put into operation. This method can more specifically reflect the thresholds under specific production conditions, but may require specialized simulation software or experimental support; 3) Dynamic adjustment method: continuously collecting data and adjusting the thresholds in real time or periodically as the production line operates. This adaptive setting method can better respond to changes in production conditions, such as equipment aging, operator changes, or product design updates. For example, using machine learning algorithms to adjust the thresholds based on continuously accumulating data to reflect the actual condition of the production line.

[0069] By setting thresholds, the system can more accurately identify bottleneck processes, avoiding unnecessary reductions in production speed due to misjudgments and ensuring the achievement of target production volumes.

[0070] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, when determining the cumulative number of times the emergency stop component is triggered and the duration of the emergency stop based on monitoring results, and thus determining that there is a bottleneck process in the target production line, adjusting the moving speed of the target production line includes: determining the importance of the bottleneck process in the target production line; determining the speed reduction ratio of the target production line based on its importance; and adjusting the moving speed of the target production line based on the speed reduction ratio.

[0071] In this embodiment of the invention, the importance of each process in the production line can be determined in several ways, such as: 1) Time consumption analysis: This is the most basic measurement method. By recording and analyzing the average time of each process on the production line, it is easy to see which processes take the longest. Processes with longer consumption times often have a greater impact on the overall production cycle time, and therefore their importance is relatively high. 2) Resource utilization assessment: Consider the resources required for the process, including human resources, equipment, raw materials, etc. Processes with higher resource utilization may mean higher input costs and may also affect the normal operation of other processes, so the importance of such processes should also be highlighted. 3) Bottleneck process identification: Through time consumption analysis and statistics of emergency stop events, bottleneck processes on the production line can be identified, that is, processes that restrict the overall production efficiency. These processes are particularly important because they directly affect the average output rate of the production line. 4) Dependency relationship between processes: Some processes may be the foundation of subsequent processes or an indispensable link in the entire product manufacturing process. Even if this type of process does not take long, its importance is very high due to its key position in the production chain. 5) Quality Impact Considerations: Some processes directly affect product quality and safety. Even if they are not the most time-consuming or resource-intensive processes, their decisive impact on the final product quality should still be considered important. 6) Cost-Benefit Analysis: By comparing the cost input and output benefits of a process, its economic value can be assessed. Investing more effort and resources in optimizing processes with high cost-effectiveness may yield a higher return on investment. 7) Flexibility and Adaptability Evaluation: As market demands change, some processes may require more frequent adjustments to adapt to changes in product type or output. These processes are more important due to their implementation difficulty and contribution to production line flexibility. 8) Safety Risk Assessment: For processes that may pose safety hazards. 9) Customer Feedback: If the product characteristics of a process directly affect customer satisfaction, then this process is extremely important. For example, processes involving appearance, packaging, or functional testing may receive particular attention.

[0072] Therefore, the importance of the bottleneck process in the target production line can be determined using one or more of the methods described above. Specifically, different weights can be assigned to each of the factors. For example, time consumption is generally more important to production and can be given a higher weight; while customer feedback is a subjective factor compared to time consumption and can be given a relatively lower weight. Then, the importance of the bottleneck process is determined by a weighted average.

[0073] In this embodiment, the impact of each process on the overall production line efficiency can be assessed to determine its importance. Then, based on the importance of the processes and the current operating status of the production line, a dynamic speed reduction ratio is calculated. The production line speed is then adjusted according to the dynamically calculated speed reduction ratio via a PLC or other control system.

[0074] The determination of the speed reduction ratio typically needs to be based on the specific conditions and objectives of the production site, and may include, but is not limited to, the following methods: 1) Bottleneck process analysis: First, identify the bottleneck process through time consumption analysis, i.e., the process on the production line that takes the longest time or triggers the most frequent emergency stops. Then, calculate an initial speed reduction ratio based on the difference between the time taken by this process and the ideal time taken. Ideally, the production line speed after speed reduction should be able to match the production cycle of the bottleneck process with other parts of the production line. 2) Iterative testing and adjustment: After initially determining the speed reduction ratio, testing is required in actual production to verify its effect. Small adjustments (e.g., 1%-3% each time) can be made to observe the impact on output, quality, employee stress, and production costs. Based on the test results, the speed reduction ratio is gradually adjusted until the optimal value is found. 3) Target output constraint: The determination of the speed reduction ratio should also consider the target output. It is necessary to ensure that even after speed reduction, the overall output of the production line can still reach or approach the predetermined target. If speed reduction leads to a significant drop in output, it may be necessary to re-evaluate the handling of the bottleneck process, rather than simply adjusting the speed. 4) Resource Utilization Considerations: The reduction rate should also consider resource utilization, including manpower, machinery, and materials. Excessive reduction may lead to idle resources, thereby increasing production costs. Therefore, the reduction rate should find a balance between improving efficiency and resource utilization. 5) Cost-Benefit Analysis: The final reduction rate needs to be determined through a cost-benefit analysis. The direct costs (such as extended running time) and indirect costs (such as resource waste) caused by the reduction should be calculated and compared with the efficiency improvements and quality enhancements brought about by the reduction to ensure a positive overall economic benefit. 6) Emergency Handling: When an abnormal emergency stop occurs on the production line, the reduction rate can be preset to a higher value (such as 5%-10%) to ensure safety and avoid equipment damage or production accidents caused by excessive speed. 7) Automation and Intelligent Systems: In modern factories, the determination of the reduction rate can be achieved with the help of automated control and intelligent systems. For example, predictive models based on big data analysis can dynamically adjust the reduction rate to adapt to constantly changing production conditions.

[0075] For example, the speed reduction ratio might be determined by the following steps: 1) Initially set the speed reduction ratio to 3%, based on statistics of emergency stop button usage and preliminary analysis of bottleneck processes. 2) Conduct small-scale tests, such as a 3% speed reduction initially, and observe the impact on production cycle time, output, and quality. 3) If a 3% speed reduction still fails to achieve the expected results, such as output remaining below target, it may be necessary to increase manpower or redesign processes. Simultaneously, the speed reduction ratio can be adjusted to a smaller value, such as 1%, to maintain overall efficiency. 4) If tests show that a 3% speed reduction results in stable production line operation without negatively impacting output and quality, and employee feedback indicates reduced workload, then this speed reduction ratio is likely appropriate. 5) In automated systems, the speed reduction ratio may be automatically adjusted by a preset algorithm. For example, if the emergency stop button is triggered more than 5 times within one hour, with each trigger lasting more than 30 seconds, the system automatically sets the speed reduction ratio to 5%.

[0076] It should be noted that the reduction ratio is a dynamically adjusted parameter that needs to be optimized based on real-time feedback from the production site and long-term data analysis to achieve the best balance between production efficiency, cost control, and employee comfort.

[0077] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, the processing method of the production line further includes: determining the speed-up ratio of the target production line when the cumulative number of times the emergency stop component is triggered and the emergency stop duration are determined based on the monitoring results; and adjusting the moving speed of the target production line according to the speed-up ratio.

[0078] The above-mentioned determination that there are no bottleneck processes in the target production line can be achieved by analyzing the cumulative number of times emergency stop components are triggered and the duration of each emergency stop, combined with certain thresholds and analysis strategies. For example, this can be achieved in the following ways: 1) Setting thresholds: First, a reasonable threshold needs to be set to determine whether emergency stops are frequent or whether the duration of each emergency stop is abnormal. For example, the cumulative number threshold can be set to 2 times / shift, and the emergency stop duration threshold can be set to 10 seconds / time. These thresholds need to be set based on the normal operating range of the production line, as well as historical data and industry standards. 2) Data collection and analysis: Collect the triggering data of emergency stop components in real time or periodically, including the accurate timestamp of each emergency stop, the duration, and the number of triggers within the entire shift or a specific time window. Analyze this data to see if it exceeds the set thresholds. 3) Eliminating abnormal situations: Check whether the emergency stop events are caused by abnormal or unforeseen events (such as equipment failure, raw material problems, etc.). These situations should not be included in the bottleneck process analysis of normal operation. A fault elimination mechanism can be set, for example, emergency stops lasting more than 1 minute are considered faults and are not included in the number of occurrences threshold judgment. 4) Periodicity and Regularity Analysis: Analyze the periodicity and regularity of emergency stops. If the number of emergency stops does not exceed the threshold within the set time window, and the duration of each emergency stop is within a reasonable range, and there is no obvious periodicity, then it can be preliminarily determined that there is currently no bottleneck problem at this production line station. 5) Comprehensive Assessment: Conduct a comprehensive assessment combining production output, station load, employee feedback, and other factors. If production is stable and employee workload is moderate with few emergency stops, then the production line can be considered to be operating well overall, with no bottleneck process. 6) Manual Verification: Although the automation system can provide a preliminary judgment, in complex or special cases, manual verification by production line managers or engineers may be necessary to ensure the accuracy of the analysis results. Manual verification can be based on system reports and on-site observation to further confirm whether there is indeed no bottleneck process.

[0079] For example, if the emergency stop button is triggered less than twice during an 8-hour shift, with each trigger lasting no more than 10 seconds and no abnormal periodic patterns, while production remains stable and employee feedback is positive, then it can be determined that there is no bottleneck process on this production line during this shift, and overall operating efficiency is high. In this case, the system can automatically implement a slight increase in the production line speed to further improve production efficiency.

[0080] It's important to note here that identifying bottleneck processes relies not only on analyzing emergency stop events but also on considering other key indicators in the production process, such as workstation load, resource utilization, and production cycle time, to ensure a comprehensive and accurate assessment. Even without obvious emergency stop events, analyzing these indicators can help determine whether the production line is operating ideally and whether there is potential for optimization.

[0081] In this embodiment, if no emergency stop is detected within a monitoring period (i.e., a pre-set duration), the system assesses the current production line efficiency and balance. If the production line operates smoothly without significant bottlenecks, the system automatically increases the production line speed by 1% (i.e., the speed-up ratio) to continuously optimize production efficiency.

[0082] Here, precise speed adjustments avoided impacting non-bottleneck processes, optimizing the overall production line efficiency. Through implementation, the processing time for critical processes was reduced from an average of 120 seconds to 114 seconds. This improved overall production line output and optimized resource utilization while ensuring product quality and operational safety.

[0083] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, before adjusting the bottleneck process, the processing method of the production line further includes: generating a prompt message when the current production volume is less than the target production volume, so as to prompt that the production volume of the target production line does not meet the target production volume.

[0084] In this embodiment, the system can monitor and issue early warnings for production volume. Specifically, the system continuously tracks production volume, and when it detects that the current production volume is lower than the target production volume, it automatically generates an early warning message to notify production managers and system operators. This early warning mechanism helps to identify the risk of insufficient production volume in advance, preventing additional costs caused by deviations between production plans and actual output.

[0085] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, when the current production volume is less than the target production volume, the bottleneck process is adjusted so that the production volume of the target production line meets the target production volume. This includes: splitting the bottleneck process into multiple sub-processes; and reorganizing the multiple sub-processes to optimize the target production line so that the production volume of the target production line meets the target production volume.

[0086] In this embodiment, once it is determined that insufficient production is caused by a bottleneck process, the system or personnel begin to analyze the bottleneck process. For example, the system can record the effects of each adjustment to the production line speed and process reorganization, and automatically optimize the speed adjustment algorithm and process segmentation strategy through intelligent learning algorithms (such as machine learning) to achieve more precise control. Another example is that, based on the duration of sub-processes and operator capabilities, the order and allocation of sub-processes can be rearranged to optimize the workflow and ensure that production reaches the target level.

[0087] In addition, process optimization can be carried out through the following methods: 1) Expert experience and industry standards: In the initial stage, the professional knowledge and experience of production line engineers or operators can be relied upon to estimate the time consumption and potential reorganization methods of each process. At the same time, the production process and standard working hours of similar products in the industry can be referenced to provide a preliminary basis for the reorganization of sub-processes. 2) Preliminary assumptions and testing: In the absence of specific data, a series of assumptions can be set, such as "breaking down complex processes into simple processes can improve efficiency," and then small-scale tests can be conducted on the production line to collect actual operating data. This includes adjusted working hours, output, employee feedback, and other information. Through testing, the effectiveness of the assumptions can be verified, and data support can be provided for subsequent optimization. 3) Cost-benefit analysis: When deciding whether to reorganize sub-processes, cost-benefit analysis is also a key step. It is necessary to consider the manpower, material, and equipment costs required for reorganizing the process, as well as the expected increase in efficiency and output after reorganization. Ensure that the benefits of reorganization outweigh the costs. 4) Dynamic adjustment and intelligent learning: Even in the case of insufficient data, a dynamic adjustment strategy can be adopted, such as setting an initial reorganization plan and then continuously collecting data in actual operation, including employee operation time, equipment operating efficiency, product quality feedback, etc. These data can be used to train intelligent learning algorithms, such as machine learning models, allowing them to gradually optimize themselves based on limited data and real-time feedback, gradually approaching the ideal state. 5) Real-time monitoring and feedback: During implementation, the operating status and production results of sub-processes are monitored in real time to collect feedback information and adjust the reorganization strategy in a timely manner. For example, if it is found that the efficiency of a certain sub-process has not improved after decomposition, it may be due to an improper decomposition method or the need for further technical improvements. 6) Simulation and prediction: Simulation software or models are used to predict the effect of sub-process reorganization. Even without historical data, theoretical models and virtual tests can be used to estimate the impact of different reorganization methods on production line efficiency, thereby guiding actual operation. 7) Multi-scheme testing and comparison: Multiple sub-process reorganization schemes are designed and tested simultaneously. By comparing the actual effects of different schemes, the optimal solution is selected. This method can avoid the limitations of a single strategy and improve the accuracy and reliability of decision-making. 8) Continuous improvement and iteration: Sub-process reorganization is a continuous improvement process. Even if a certain effect is achieved after the initial reorganization, it should be re-evaluated regularly, and adjustments and optimizations should be made based on newly collected data and changes in the production environment.

[0088] The above approach combines expert experience, preliminary testing, and intelligent learning. Even with insufficient data, it can gradually approach the ideal state of sub-process reorganization, ultimately achieving efficient and stable operation of the production line. As data accumulates, the intelligent learning algorithm will be continuously optimized, making decisions more accurate and further improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0089] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, the bottleneck process is split into multiple sub-processes, including: obtaining the total time of the bottleneck process; and splitting the bottleneck process into multiple sub-processes on an average basis according to the total time.

[0090] In this embodiment, the total time spent on the bottleneck process can be obtained, and it can be divided into multiple sub-processes on an average basis according to the time spent, so as to distribute the time consumption and time pressure.

[0091] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, reorganizing multiple sub-processes to optimize the target production line so that the production volume of the target production line meets the target production volume includes: reorganizing multiple sub-processes according to the consumption time of multiple sub-processes to optimize the target production line so that the production volume of the target production line meets the target production volume.

[0092] In this embodiment, the order and allocation of sub-processes can be rearranged based on the time consumed by the sub-processes and the operator's ability, thereby optimizing the work process and ensuring that the production volume reaches the target level.

[0093] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, in addition to adjusting speed, the system can also adopt multi-level adjustment strategies based on the specific circumstances of the bottleneck process, such as temporarily adding operators, optimizing the material supply process, and introducing automated tools, to improve production line efficiency. Moreover, the system supports remote monitoring and intervention, allowing production managers or engineers to adjust parameters and handle anomalies remotely via network from outside the factory, thus achieving remote optimization of the production line.

[0094] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, reorganizing multiple sub-processes based on their consumption time includes: combining each of the multiple sub-processes with a non-bottleneck process on the target production line according to its consumption time, so that the time difference between each process on the target production line after reorganization is less than a predetermined time difference.

[0095] In this embodiment, sub-processes can be combined with non-bottleneck processes on the production line to ensure that the time difference between each recombined process is less than a preset time difference, thereby maximizing production line efficiency and meeting production targets. For example, when a bottleneck process is detected, the process is decomposed to reduce its time. For instance, if process B is the bottleneck process, it is decomposed into B1, B2, etc., and then the decomposed sub-processes are combined with other processes to ensure that the time difference between each process is not significant. If the process cannot be decomposed and thus affects efficiency, additional manpower is considered.

[0096] The average time spent on this process has been optimized, reducing operator stress and improving the stability of the production cycle.

[0097] When production fell below target, the bottleneck process was analyzed and broken down into three sub-processes. The time taken for each sub-process was reduced from 60 seconds to 20 seconds. These sub-processes were then rearranged to operate more efficiently, such as by adding workstations and using automated equipment. After the process was broken down and reorganized, production increased from 95% to 100%, effectively solving the problem of insufficient production.

[0098] Through the aforementioned real-time data monitoring and analysis, dynamic adjustment of production line speed and intelligent optimization of bottleneck processes were achieved, thereby improving the production efficiency of manufacturing enterprises.

[0099] As described above, the technical solution provided by this embodiment of the invention allows for the installation of emergency stop buttons at each workstation of the target production line, connected to a PLC. The PLC continuously monitors the status of these buttons, recording the number of emergency stops and the duration of each stop. Once the number of emergency stops and the duration of each stop at a certain workstation are detected to exceed a preset threshold, the PLC will automatically adjust the production line speed to adapt to the processing capacity of that workstation. This solves the problem of low efficiency caused by bottleneck processes in the production line. By dynamically monitoring the status of the emergency stop components, it determines whether there is a bottleneck process and automatically adjusts the production line speed accordingly. Automatic speed adjustment avoids operators falling behind the production pace due to excessive speed, reduces production downtime, and improves production efficiency and product quality. Specifically, after implementation, the production line's moving speed can be reduced from the initial 100% to 97%, significantly reducing the frequency of emergency stops.

[0100] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of an optional pipeline processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown, after the system starts, it can monitor whether the emergency stop button (i.e., the emergency stop component) is pressed. If so, the PLC records the number of emergency stops and their duration, and analyzes the data. If the duration and number of emergency stops exceed a preset threshold, a bottleneck process is identified, and the production line speed is reduced to 3%. The system continues to monitor whether the production line meets the target output after the speed reduction; otherwise, an alarm is triggered. Production is stabilized by breaking down the bottleneck process or adding manpower. If no emergency stop button is detected, the production line speed is increased by 3%.

[0101] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present invention, the specific values ​​are preset based on the experience values ​​at the initial stage of the pipeline operation and can be modified. The basis for modification is also adjusted according to the pipeline operation. For example, if the modified threshold and percentage cause the pipeline to stop more and more frequently and the operation to become more chaotic, it indicates that the modified relevant parameters are not reasonable enough. The threshold for the number of times the emergency stop button is activated can be increased, and the percentage of pipeline speed decrease / increase can be decreased.

[0102] The above technical solution determines the appropriateness of the production line speed by analyzing the number of times the emergency stop button is pressed and the duration of each emergency stop. It automatically adjusts the speed to adapt to current production conditions, identifying bottleneck processes within the production line. This allows for automatic speed adjustments based on real-time conditions when production line speeds become mismatched after product line changes, reducing emergency stop button presses, avoiding wasted idle time, and stabilizing the production cycle. By monitoring the emergency stop buttons on the production line and recording the number of presses and duration of each button, the system identifies bottleneck processes. Once a bottleneck is identified, the system automatically reduces the production line speed to an appropriate level to minimize emergency stops and avoid wasted idle time. Furthermore, after a period without emergency stops, the system automatically attempts to increase the production line speed to achieve optimal production efficiency.

[0103] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the foregoing method embodiments are all described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the described order of actions, as some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously according to this application.
