Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent manufacturing and industrial Internet of Things, and particularly provides a non-intervention Mes tracing method and device. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the electronic manufacturing field develops rapidly, and panel design, as a key technology, is widely used in the manufacturing process of printed circuit boards (PCB) to effectively reduce production costs. However, in the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) patch process, in order to realize automatic optical detection (AOI), it is usually necessary to set SN code and PPID bar code on the PCB panel to facilitate tracking and management. The existing process requires manual binding of the SN code and the PPID of each independent circuit board unit after the SMT process is completed, which increases the process complexity and the efficiency of manual operation.
[0003] In the PCB manufacturing industry, how to efficiently integrate various sensors and technical means to achieve better production management and quality tracing is a problem to be solved. At present, production data tracing in the manufacturing industry mainly relies on manual input or single sensor collection, which has some shortcomings:
[0004] (1) Highly dependent on manual intervention: the SN and PPID bar code binding of the PCB panel needs to be completed by manual operation, which is not only inefficient, but also prone to errors.
[0005] (2) Forming a data island: PCB production information may be stored in different systems, and cross-department coordination is required when tracing, which is time-consuming and laborious.
[0006] (3) Poor environmental adaptability: the traditional code scanning equipment has a high failure rate in reading under complex environments such as light changes and object shielding, which greatly affects the accuracy and efficiency of data collection.
[0007] Although the existing technology attempts to use two-dimensional codes or laser-engraved bar codes to improve tracing efficiency, these methods still require some degree of manual intervention and cannot achieve truly non-interventional fully automated tracing. Therefore, developing a new technology that can overcome the above challenges and achieve efficient, accurate and non-interventional fully automated tracing system is of great importance to the further development of the PCB manufacturing industry.

[0019] Further, in step S5, after the SMT process is completed, the PCB panel is cut to form independent circuit board units, and the SN of the circuit board unit can be directly used in the subsequent process.

[0026] After the operator scans the work order number, the system automatically retrieves the station table of the work order.
[0027] Further, in step (2), the verification dimension includes: consistency of material code compared with the station table, batch validity period, verification in the production process and verification before SMT mounting.
[0028] Further, in step (3), the remaining amount of the tray is monitored by the weight sensor during the patch machine reloading, and when the actual consumption rate deviates from the theoretical value by >15%, a review is triggered.
[0029] Further, in step (4), the response is graded:
[0030] 1) Model mismatch: immediately stop and lock the device;
[0031] 2) Batch mismatch: prompt for confirmation and record the deviation;
