It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0026] According to the embodiments of the present application, an embodiment of a production method of a component is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the 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 herein can be executed in an order different from that shown herein.

[0027] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a production method of a component according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The method can include the following steps:

[0028] Step S101, obtaining production information of a target production line.

[0029] In the technical solution provided in the above step S101 of the present application, the production information at least includes attribute information of at least one component required by the target production line and the sequence of the component, wherein the attribute information of the at least one component can include the target type and the target quantity of the at least one component required by the target production line.

[0030] In this embodiment, the production information of the target production line is read in real time through an application programming interface (API) of a logistics execution system (LES) for managing the logistics production process from parts to finished products, which can automatically schedule logistics resources (such as transportation equipment, warehouse resources) according to the production plan and real-time production demand to ensure that materials are timely and accurately delivered to the production line.

[0031] Optionally, the LES system automatically updates the production information of each production line after receiving instructions from an upstream production planning system or a customer order management system. The intelligent logistics system can obtain the production information of the target production line through the API interface of the LES system.

[0032] Step S102, identifying at least one target part from the first storage area based on the attribute information in the production information.

[0033] In the technical solution provided by the above step S102 of the present application, the first storage area is used to indicate a part waiting area, and a plurality of parts are stored in the first storage area.

[0034] In this embodiment, as described above, the attribute information in the production information can include the target type and target quantity of at least one part required by the target production line. Based on this, an automated guided vehicle (AGV) can be guided by a visual recognition system to identify and locate at least one target part from the first storage area (such as a part waiting area), wherein the visual recognition system can include a high-resolution camera, a barcode / QR code scanner, or other radio frequency identification (RFID) tag reading equipment.

[0035] Optionally, the first storage area is provided with a plurality of storage areas according to the types of parts, wherein each storage area is used to store a type of parts, for example, the first type of parts exists in the first channel area, and the second type of parts is stored in the second channel area. The automated guided vehicle can be controlled to identify the storage area storing the target type of parts in the first storage area according to the target type of at least one part required by the target production line, and then determine the parts stored in the identified storage area as the target parts required by the target production line.

[0036] In this step, the first storage area is provided with storage areas for storing different types of spare parts. In this way, the spare parts are stored in a classified manner, and when a specified type of spare part is needed, the corresponding storage area can be quickly located, greatly improving the material acquisition rate.

[0037] In step S103, the identified target spare part is transported to the second storage area according to the online sequence.

[0038] In the technical solution provided in the above step S103 of the present application, after the target spare part is identified from the first storage area, the identified target spare part can be transported to the second storage area according to the online sequence of the spare part indicated by the target production line, wherein the second storage area is a spare part sorting area, i.e., the second storage area is a "transit station" for the spare part during its movement from the first storage area to the production line. In the second storage area, the spare part is temporarily stored and arranged according to the online sequence to ensure that the spare part is accurately online according to the immediate demand sequence of the production line.

[0039] In this embodiment, the automatic guided vehicle is controlled to transport the target spare part to a specified position in the second storage area (e.g., a spare part sorting area) according to the online sequence of the spare part, wherein the target spare parts in the second storage area are arranged according to the online sequence.

[0040] Optionally, the automatic guided vehicle is equipped with a special tray tool for transporting the target spare part, and the size of the tray tool matches the size of the target spare part. The automatic guided vehicle orderly transports the target spare part to the second storage area according to the predetermined online sequence to form a queuing sequence, facilitating the next online operation.

[0041] In step S104, in response to the queuing sequence of the target spare parts in the second storage area being the same as the online sequence, the target spare parts in the second storage area are transported to the target production line for online production according to the queuing sequence.

[0042] In the technical solution provided in the above step S104 of the present application, after the target spare part is transported to the second storage area, in order to ensure that the queuing sequence of the target spare parts in the second storage area is consistent with the online sequence required by the target production line, it can be detected whether the queuing sequence of the target spare parts in the second storage area meets the requirements of the online sequence required by the target production line, and then when the queuing sequence of the target spare parts in the second storage area meets the requirements of the online sequence required by the target production line, the target spare parts in the second storage area are transported to the target production line for online production.

[0043] In this embodiment, a checkpoint is set in the second storage area, and the queuing sequence of the target parts is verified by a visual scanning system or other sensors. If the queuing sequence of the target parts is consistent with the required online sequence of the target production line, the automated guided vehicle is controlled to distribute the target parts one by one to the assembly point of the target production line according to the queuing sequence of the target parts in the second storage area and the production rhythm requirement of the target production line.

[0044] Alternatively, if the queuing sequence of the target parts is inconsistent with the required online sequence of the target production line, the queuing sequence of the target parts in the second storage area is adjusted. After the queuing sequence of the target parts is adjusted to be consistent with the required online sequence of the target production line, the automated guided vehicle is controlled to distribute the target parts one by one to the assembly point of the target production line according to the queuing sequence of the target parts in the second storage area and the production rhythm requirement of the target production line.

[0045] The above steps S101 to S104 of the present application can identify the attribute information of the parts required by the production line by directly obtaining the production information of the target production line, and can pick the parts as needed, avoiding repeated searching and confirmation in manual operation, greatly shortening the picking time. The standardized operation of the automated equipment not only undertakes the transportation task of the parts, but also can pre-sort and optimize the parts according to the online sequence in the production information, ensure the smoothness of the online link, reduce the waiting time of the production line, speed up the production rhythm, improve the standardization rate of the operation, reduce the non-standard operation risk caused by manual operation, improve the efficiency of the part online operation, and thus solve the technical problem of low efficiency of part online operation in the manual picking mode.

[0046] The above method of this embodiment will be further introduced as follows.

[0047] As an optional embodiment, the attribute information at least includes the target type and target quantity of at least one part required by the target production line. In step S102, at least one target part matching the attribute information is identified from the first storage area based on the attribute information in the production information, including: based on the target type in the attribute information, controlling the automated guided equipment to identify a target storage area matching the target type from the first storage area, wherein the first storage area includes a plurality of storage areas, and the plurality of storage areas correspond one-to-one to a plurality of part types; determining the parts stored in the target storage area as the parts matching the target type; and based on the target quantity in the attribute information, obtaining the target quantity of parts from the target part storage area.

[0048] In this embodiment, at least one target part matching the attribute information is identified from the first storage area based on the attribute information in the production information.

[0049] Optionally, as introduced above, the first storage area is set with multiple storage areas according to the types of the parts, and each storage area is used to store parts of one type. In this case, the AGV can be controlled based on the target type in the attribute information in the production information to identify a target storage area matching the target type from the first storage area, and then obtain the target number of target parts from the target storage area according to the target number in the attribute information.

[0050] For example, it is assumed that the attribute information in the production information includes the acquisition requirements of two target types of parts, i.e., the acquisition of the first target number of first parts of the first target type and the acquisition of the second target number of second parts of the second target type. Based on this, a control instruction can be sent to the AGV, which instructs the AGV to travel to a storage area in the first storage area that stores the first target type of parts and acquire the first target number of first parts, and instructs the AGV to travel to a storage area in the first storage area that stores the second target type of parts and acquire the second target number of second parts.

[0051] Optionally, after the AGV acquires the first target number of first parts and the second target number of second parts, the AGV can sort the acquired first target number of first parts and the second target number of second parts according to the online sequence in the target production information to form a queuing sequence.

[0052] In this step, the AGV can be controlled to identify a target storage area matching the target type from the first storage area based on the target type and the target number of parts required by the target production line, and to obtain the target number of parts from the target storage area, which can ensure that the obtained parts match the production requirements of the target production line, reduce errors and delays in manual operation, and significantly improve production flexibility and response speed.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, the AGV is controlled to identify a target storage area matching the target type from the first storage area based on the target type in the attribute information, which includes: controlling the AGV to identify first identification information of multiple storage areas in the first storage area, wherein the first identification information is used to indicate type information of parts stored in the corresponding storage area; and identifying a target storage area matching the target type based on the target type and the first identification information of the multiple storage areas.

[0054] In this embodiment, as introduced above, the first storage area is set with multiple storage areas according to the types of the parts, each storage area is used to store one type of parts, that is, each storage area corresponds to a first identification information, which is used to indicate the type of parts stored in the corresponding storage area. Based on this, when the automatic guided device (such as an automatic guided vehicle) is used to obtain the parts of the target type from the first storage area, the automatic guided device can be controlled to identify the first identification information of each storage area in the first storage area, and then compare the storage type of the parts indicated by the identified first identification information with the target type. If the storage type of the parts indicated by the first identification information is consistent with the target type, the storage area indicated by the first identification information is determined as the target storage area matching the target type.

[0055] For example, it is assumed that the target type of the parts to be obtained is vehicle hub. In this case, the automatic guided vehicle can be controlled to identify the storage area storing the vehicle hub according to the first identification information of the multiple storage areas in the first storage area, and then determine the identified storage area as the target storage area storing the vehicle hub.

[0056] In this step, the automatic guided device can be used to identify the target storage area matching the target type, without the participation of workers, avoiding the recognition error introduced by manual recognition, and greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of the identification of the target storage area.

[0057] As an optional embodiment, the method for putting the parts into production further includes: in response to the queuing sequence of the target parts in the second storage area being different from the putting-into-production sequence, adjusting the queuing sequence to obtain an adjusted queuing sequence; and in response to the adjusted queuing sequence being consistent with the putting-into-production sequence, transporting the target parts in the second storage area to the target production line according to the adjusted queuing sequence for putting into production.

[0058] In this embodiment, after the target component is transported to the second storage area, in order to ensure that the component is put on line according to the on-line requirements specified by the target production line, the queuing sequence of the target component in the second storage area (i.e., the component queuing area) can be compared with the on-line sequence of the components specified by the target production line to determine whether the queuing sequence of the target component meets the on-line requirements of the target production line. If the queuing sequence of the target component in the second storage area is the same as the on-line sequence, the automatic guided device is controlled to transport the target component to the designated position of the target production line according to the queuing sequence of the target component. If the queuing sequence of the target component in the second storage area is not the same as the on-line sequence, the queuing sequence of the target component needs to be adjusted first so that the queuing sequence of the target component is the same as the on-line sequence, and then the automatic guided device is controlled to transport the target component to the designated position of the target production line according to the queuing sequence of the target component.

[0059] Optionally, if it is detected that the queuing sequence of the target component is inconsistent with the expected on-line sequence, the sequence deviation is immediately marked, and the sequence adjustment program is activated to adjust the queuing sequence of the target component. For example, the automatic guided device is controlled to adjust the position of the component in the second storage area to match the correct on-line sequence.

[0060] In this step, since the second storage area is the last storage area before the target component is put on line, based on this, in order to ensure that the on-line sequence of the target component is consistent with the on-line sequence indicated by the target production line, the queuing sequence of the target component in the second storage area is compared with the on-line sequence of the target component indicated by the target production line. If the storage sequence of the target component does not match the on-line sequence indicated by the target production line, the subsequent on-line operation is immediately stopped, and the queuing sequence of the target component is adjusted so that the queuing sequence of the target component matches the on-line sequence indicated by the target production line. This can prevent incorrect components from being sent to the production line, causing production interruption or quality problems, and thus improve the automation level and efficiency of the overall process.

[0061] As an optional implementation, adjusting the queuing sequence to obtain an adjusted queuing sequence includes: determining the correct sorting position of the target component in the queuing sequence according to the on-line sequence; and controlling the automatic guided device to transport the target component from the current position to the correct sorting position to obtain the adjusted queuing sequence.

[0062] In this embodiment, if the queuing sequence of the target component is inconsistent with the indicated on-line sequence of the target production line, the correct sorting position of the target component in the queuing sequence can be determined according to the on-line sequence, and then the automatic guiding device is controlled to transport the target component from the current position to the correct sorting position, and the target component is controlled to be on-line produced according to the correct sorting position.

[0063] In this step, before each component in the queuing sequence is on-line, the sorting position of each component to be on-line produced is verified according to the above method to determine whether the component to be on-line produced meets the production sequence of the production line, and if not, the sorting position of the component to be on-line in the queuing sequence is adjusted to ensure that each component in the queuing sequence can be on-line produced in the correct order, thereby improving the production efficiency of the production line and avoiding the situation that the production line stops production due to incorrect on-line sequence of the components.

[0064] As an optional embodiment, before obtaining the production information, the method further includes: controlling the unstacking machine device to lay out a plurality of components in a stacked state in the storage area; controlling the automatic guiding device to identify second identification information of the plurality of components, wherein the second identification information is used to indicate the component type of the components; and storing the plurality of components into the first storage area according to the second identification information, into the storage area matching the component type of the plurality of components.

[0065] In this embodiment, before the automatic picking and on-line process is performed, the components need to be preliminarily processed and classified. In order to save storage space, the components in the storage area are usually stored in a stacked manner. Based on this, when the on-line task of the components is indicated, the unstacking machine device can be controlled to lay out a plurality of components in a stacked state in the storage area, and then the automatic guiding device is controlled to identify second identification information of the plurality of components, wherein the second identification information is used to indicate the component type of the components; and the plurality of components are stored into the first storage area according to the second identification information, into the storage area matching the component type of the plurality of components.

[0066] Optionally, during the component warehousing stage, the components are often stored in a stacked form on a truck or in an area of the storage area. This stacked state is not conducive to subsequent automatic picking and processing. Therefore, before the automatic picking and on-line process is performed, the unstacking machine device is used to separate and lay out the stacked components one by one on the ground of the storage area or a designated platform, so as to facilitate subsequent automatic identification and transportation. The unstacking machine is a specially designed mechanical arm or similar device, which is not limited here.

[0067] For example, in order to ensure the efficiency and safety of the unstacking process, the unstacking machine needs to have accurate positioning capability and appropriate carrying capacity. For example, the unstacking height can reach 3.5 meters, the production efficiency reaches 2 boxes per minute, and the carrying capacity reaches 1000 kilograms, which ensures that the unstacking operation can be completed in a short time, and the positioning accuracy reaches ±3mm, which ensures the accuracy of the component laying process and prevents damage or disorder. This is only an example and does not limit the specific process of unstacking.

[0068] Optionally, after the laying of the components is completed, the automatic guided device can be controlled to identify the second identification information of the plurality of components, wherein the second identification information is used to indicate the component type of the components.

[0069] For example, after the laying of the components is completed, the visual recognition system of the automatic guided device can be used to identify the type of the components. Each component corresponds to second identification information, usually in the form of a barcode, a two-dimensional code or an RFID tag, which contains key attributes such as component type. The automatic guided device reads these second identification information through a camera or other sensing devices to determine the type of the components.

[0070] Optionally, after the second identification information of the components is identified, the plurality of components can be stored in the first storage area according to the second identification information, and in the storage area matching the component type of the plurality of components.

[0071] Optionally, based on the component type indicated by the second identification information of the plurality of components, the automatic guided device can transport the plurality of components to the first storage area (such as a component waiting area) and to the storage area corresponding to the component type of the components, which is also called a storage aisle.

[0072] For example, as described above, the first storage area is designed to include a plurality of storage areas for storing different component types, and each storage area is used to store components of a specific type. After the components are identified, the automatic guided device automatically navigates to the corresponding storage area according to the type of the components and neatly places the components in the storage area.

[0073] Through the above pre-step, the parts are effectively prepared to be suitable for automated picking and online operation. In the process of part flattening, type identification and classified storage, not only the burden of manual operation is reduced, but also the accuracy and efficiency of material handling are ensured. The flattened parts are easier to be recognized by the visual system of AGV, and the classified storage provides convenience for subsequent picking, avoiding the need to re-screen and confirm the type of parts during the picking process, thereby laying a solid foundation for the automation of the entire production process.

[0074] As an optional embodiment, the parts are stored in the storage area by independent storage devices.

[0075] In this embodiment, the storage of parts in the first storage area adopts independent storage devices, which aims to improve the storage efficiency, picking accuracy and safety. The storage device can be a tray tool, which is not limited here.

[0076] Optionally, each part is stored using a specially designed tray tool that meets certain load capacity and size requirements. In terms of material, high-strength materials are selected, which have good durability and load capacity. In addition, in order to adapt to the storage environment, the tray tool needs to be treated with corrosion resistance, such as two layers of corrosion resistance (primer + topcoat) to extend the service life.

[0077] Optionally, by providing the parts with special tray tools, the safety and stability of the parts during transportation and storage can be ensured.

[0078] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be illustrated below in conjunction with preferred embodiments.

[0079] Currently, in the field of automobile parts logistics, the sorting of parts generally adopts traditional manual picking method, and the processing of large parts (such as battery pack, door, engine, etc.) requires a large amount of manpower and time, and is easily affected by human factors to cause errors, especially in the case of delivering large parts of the same type of different brands or specifications to the production line in a specific order according to the production schedule. The traditional manual picking method consumes relevant personnel and corresponding working hours, has long-term labor costs, does not meet the future direction of automation development, and the traditional operation has difficulty in personnel management and non-standard operation, which may bring great risk to the normal operation of the production line.

[0080] In the related art, the logistics information system and AGV technology are the more mainstream logistics equipment automation technologies in the industry. The logistics information system is a software system for managing information flow in logistics activities, which can process various links from the receipt of materials to distribution, including but not limited to order management, inventory control, transportation scheduling, warehouse operation automation, etc. By integrating the data of various logistics equipment, the logistics information system can provide real-time logistics status to help managers make decisions and optimize the logistics process. The AGV technology refers to automatic guided vehicles that can move on a predetermined path without human intervention and complete tasks such as material handling and picking. AGVs are usually equipped with advanced navigation and positioning systems, such as laser navigation, magnetic stripe navigation, visual navigation, etc., which can operate flexibly and accurately in complex and dynamic environments. Although the logistics information system and AGV technology have shown high efficiency in logistics management and automated transportation, the industry mainly applies them in single points, using the logistics information system to manage the receipt and distribution of materials, and using the AGV technology to import high-frequency material movement scenarios. However, the industry lacks a job mode and equipment opening that reconfigures the above technologies. This means that in the entire process of materials from the storage area to the production line, the coordination of information flow and logistics is not smooth enough, especially when dealing with large, multi-variety, and multi-batch parts. Traditional information transmission and control methods may not fully meet the needs of high efficiency and high accuracy.

[0081] However, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for putting parts into production, aiming to deeply integrate the logistics information system, AGV technology, intelligent sorting, and production line requirements to form an integrated logistics management system. The core of this integrated logistics management system is to create an open equipment platform and intelligent control system that can respond to production needs in real time, intelligently schedule AGVs and automated equipment, and achieve full-process automation from storage, sorting to putting into production. For example, the logistics information system can not only manage the material status in the warehouse, but also cooperate with the LES system of the production line to automatically schedule AGVs to the correct storage area, pick the correct materials, and accurately deliver them to the specific workstations on the production line according to the real-time production rhythm and demand. In addition, by opening the equipment interface, AGVs and automated equipment of different brands can work under a unified system, enhancing the interoperability of equipment and the flexibility of the process. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by integrating the logistics information system, AGV technology, and intelligent sorting, production line requirements can be integrated to build a more efficient and accurate logistics automation job mode, avoiding information silos and equipment compatibility issues, providing a new solution for the automated sorting and putting into production of large parts, marking an important step in the application of logistics automation technology in heavy industries such as automobile manufacturing.

[0082] Next, the AGV visual recognition system is further introduced.

[0083] The AGV visual recognition system is a relatively mainstream part moving device equipped with a function, which mainly collects images of the surrounding environment through the camera or other visual perception devices installed on the AGV vehicle. The camera can be a common video camera, or an industrial camera with higher resolution and specific functions, and its installation position and angle can be adjusted according to the specific application scene and recognition requirements to ensure that key visual information can be obtained. In the warehouse logistics scene, the AGV visual recognition system can identify the type, label, and two-dimensional code of the goods, as well as the environmental characteristics of the shelves, channels, and obstacles in the warehouse, and plays an important role in the sorting and sequencing of various parts.

[0084] Next, the production process of large parts is introduced.

[0085] Optionally, due to the volume and weight restrictions of large parts, each part is usually stored in a separate package or pallet. Currently, in order to save costs or for quality considerations, multiple different brands or structures of the same part are often introduced, and during production, the same type of parts of different brands need to be distributed according to a certain order according to the production line scheduling sequence.

[0086] Optionally, the production line pull system is connected to the AGV network, wherein the production line pull system can monitor the material consumption of the production line in real time, and automatically generate material replenishment instructions according to the production progress and demand. When the production line needs a specific part, the LES system will immediately notify the warehouse or logistics center to start the AGV network, pick the required parts from the waiting area according to the production demand sequence, and confirm the correctness of the parts through the visual recognition system, and then transport them to the sequencing area or directly to the designated location of the production line. This system can significantly improve the accuracy and timeliness of material supply, reduce the risk of production line downtime due to insufficient materials, and reduce inventory costs, improving overall logistics and production efficiency.

[0087] Optionally, Figure 2 is a flowchart of another part production method according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The method comprises the following steps:

[0088] Step S201, collect the production information in the LES system, and obtain the production sequence of the parts indicated by the production information.

[0089] In this embodiment, production demand information from the LES system is collected, which contains the types and the sequence of the parts required on the production line. The LES system is an integrated production logistics control platform that can automatically allocate logistics tasks according to the production plan, thereby obtaining the sequence of the parts. This operation ensures that the entire operation process is synchronized with the production plan and is the starting point of the automated process.

[0090] In step S202, the AGV sequencing vehicle obtains the parts from the part waiting area according to the sequence and transports the obtained parts to the part sequencing area.

[0091] In this embodiment, after obtaining the sequence of the parts, the AGV sequencing vehicle starts to work. For example, the AGV sequencing vehicle can go to the part waiting area, which usually stores a large number of large parts to be put on the line. Through the visual recognition system on the AGV, the required parts can be accurately identified and forked, and these parts are transported to the part sequencing area according to the requirements of the sequence. The part sequencing area is an area for temporarily storing and adjusting the arrangement of the parts.

[0092] In step S203, the AGV sequencing vehicle obtains the parts from the part sequencing area and identifies the types of the parts.

[0093] In this embodiment, after the parts arrive at the part sequencing area, the AGV sequencing vehicle is enabled, for example, to obtain the parts from the sequencing area. The visual recognition system is also used to confirm the types of the parts to ensure accurate picking. This step is a key point in the entire process to check the accuracy of the parts to prevent any potential errors in the subsequent on-line process.

[0094] In step S204, it is determined whether the sequence of the parts is consistent with the sequence indicated by the production line.

[0095] In this embodiment, after the AGV sequencing vehicle loads the parts, a sequence verification can be automatically performed, that is, the current sequence of the parts is compared with the sequence obtained from the LES system. If the sequences are consistent, the AGV sequencing vehicle will directly proceed to the next step, that is, step S205; if the sequences are not consistent, manual or system adjustment is required to ensure that the parts are put on the line in the correct sequence, in which case step S202 can be returned.

[0096] In this step, the sequence of the parts is compared with the sequence indicated by the production line, which can ensure smooth production process and avoid the key of production line downtime.

[0097] Step S205, the AGV online vehicle moves the parts to the designated station of the production line.

[0098] In this embodiment, when it is determined through the above step S204 that the online sequence of the parts is consistent with the online sequence obtained by the LES system, it is determined that the online sequence of the parts is correct, and in this case, the AGV online vehicle will start to transport the materials to the designated station on the production line, which is dynamically adjusted according to the production plan and the real-time state of the production line, to ensure that the parts can arrive in time to meet the production demand. After arriving at the station, the AGV unloads the materials, completing the online process.

[0099] In the above steps S201 to S205, through the automatic operation of the AGV vehicle, the intelligent identification of the visual identification system, and the seamless connection with the LES system, the automation of the online process of large parts from the standby area to the production line is realized. This not only improves the efficiency and reduces the manual error, but also reduces the operating cost, which is helpful to realize the intelligentization and automation upgrade of automobile manufacturing logistics.

[0100] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a part sorting online operation process according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 3 , the entire operation process includes different operation areas, such as a storage area, a standby area, a sorting area and a production line. Among them, the storage area is the place where large parts are initially stored, and the stacked parts are stored in the storage area, waiting to be picked. The forklift operator places the stacked large parts on the intelligent unstacking machine, and uses the intelligent unstacking machine to lay the stacked parts in the storage area. A plurality of channels (storage areas) are provided in the standby area, each channel is used to store a type of parts, after the parts are laid in the storage area, the intelligent AGV vehicle can be controlled to identify the label of the parts laid in the storage area through the visual identification system, and the identified parts are transported to the correct channel in the sorting area according to the type, waiting for subsequent sorting operation. As shown in Figure 3 , part A is stored in a channel, part B is stored in a channel, and part C is stored in a channel. Different types of parts are stored in different channels to facilitate subsequent picking. The sorting area is composed of multiple workstations or tracks, and the parts are transferred from the standby area to the sorting area for sorting. For example, the intelligent AGV vehicle places the parts in the designated position in the sorting area according to the production sequence information of the LES system. The sorted parts are directly transported to the use station of the production line by the intelligent AGV vehicle according to the production rhythm and demand, and are assembled or installed by the operator or further automatic equipment.

[0101] Figure 3The demonstration visually demonstrates the entire automated logistics process for sorting and shipping large parts, from storage, picking, sorting, and final shipping. It emphasizes the central role of AGVs in material handling and the importance of logistics information systems in scheduling and sorting, aiming to reduce manual intervention and improve operational accuracy and efficiency.
