Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of production process management, and in particular to an industrial digital robot and a production process management method based on key node approval. Background Art

[0002] In today's industrial automation landscape, intelligent workflow management industrial digital robots and IIoT platforms are becoming core tools for automating production processes. These industrial digital robots automatically execute tasks based on pre-set rules, while incorporating human approval at key decision points to ensure accurate decisions.

[0003] Although the IIoT platform provides powerful data collection, analysis, and remote management capabilities, supporting enterprises to monitor the status of production equipment in real time and make optimization adjustments, when integrating manual review links into automated processes, most existing solutions rely on specific software modules or plug-ins, which requires enterprises to make complex adjustments between different production management industrial digital robots.

[0004] Current solutions often require rewriting interface logic and adjusting hardware configurations when handling operations across different industrial digital robots or platforms, increasing project complexity and cost. For example, existing intelligent workflow management industrial digital robots and IIoT platforms are difficult to seamlessly integrate with other industrial digital robots, requiring additional development work in practical applications.

[0005] To meet the needs of specific business processes, companies often need to customize software modules for each project, which not only increases development time and costs but can also make industrial digital robots difficult to maintain. This customization becomes even more complex when multiple suppliers and different standards are involved.

[0006] Lack of flexibility and scalability: Existing solutions are not flexible and scalable enough to cope with rapidly changing market demands and technological advancements. Existing industrial digital robots may require extensive reconfiguration to adapt to emerging business needs or technological advancements, which limits companies’ ability to innovate.

[0027] The workflow management system in the existing technology has relatively poor compatibility, flexibility and scalability. It not only fails to meet the rapidly changing customization needs of users, but also restricts the technological development of manufacturing enterprises.

[0028] To address the above problems, an industrial digital robot and a production process management method based on key node approval are proposed.

[0029] First, an industrial digital robot, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of the communication connection between an industrial digital robot and production equipment in this application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of a design module in an industrial digital robot in the present application; it includes a design module, a functional component library, and a configuration module; the design module is used to call functional components from the functional component library according to product production needs, and use functional components to build production rules; the configuration module is used to configure parameters of each functional component according to product production needs; the functional component library is used to store packaged functional components. The design module includes an approval design unit; the approval design unit is used to perform quality inspection on product quality after receiving a trigger instruction for product production completion, and report the quality inspection results; the approval design unit includes an approval design workbench and an HMI interaction unit, the approval design workbench is used to deploy multiple interaction components, and the HMI interaction unit is used to perform quality inspection and data information interaction according to the deployed interaction components, such as Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is an example of the HMI manual approval submission page for this application.

[0030] like Figure 6-7 , Figure 6 This is an industrial digital robot instance configured in this application. Figure 7This is another industrial digital robot example configured by this application. By encapsulating and storing various functional components in a functional component library, functional components can be called from the functional component library according to product production needs, and production rules can be constructed using functional components. By deploying multiple interactive components on the approval design workbench, quality inspection and data information interaction are carried out according to the deployed interactive components, making the entire industrial digital robot management process more smoothly connected. By using standard components, the integration of automated processes and manual approvals can be achieved without the need to write additional software modules, reducing complexity and costs. There is no need to rewrite interfaces or adjust hardware configurations, and rapid networking and interaction between devices can be achieved. After the initial production rule logic is constructed, it can be easily modified or expanded through the drag-and-drop interface on the design workbench to adapt to changes in business needs. No complex programming is required. Data sharing between different functional process modules enables key decision-making information to be promptly fed back to the HMI interaction unit of the industrial digital robot, improving collaborative efficiency.

[0031] For further information, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of the structure of each design unit and configuration unit in this application; the design module also includes a communication protocol design unit; the communication protocol design unit includes a communication protocol design workbench; the configuration module includes a communication protocol configuration unit; the communication protocol design workbench is used to call and deploy communication protocol components from the functional component library; the communication protocol configuration unit is used to configure parameters of the communication protocol components; the industrial digital robot communicates with the production equipment through the communication protocol component.

[0032] In this embodiment, if Figure 9-10 , Figure 9 This is the debugging information during the operation of the industrial digital robot of this application. Figure 10 This is a list of application nodes in the industrial digital robot of this application. In the industrial production process, digital applications are usually encapsulated into standardized modules (hereinafter referred to as "components"). These components are preset basic units and can be used directly by users without additional operation. Each component represents a specific function or service, such as obtaining equipment data, process acquisition, and robotic arm control through industrial control protocols. It supports a variety of commonly used industrial control protocols on the market, such as ModbusTCP, OPC UA, etc., to ensure seamless connection with various industrial equipment.

[0033] The user selects an industrial control protocol component suitable for the target device from the functional component library, such as the "ModbusTCP Read" component (this component means reading the ModbusTCP protocol), and drags it into the design area.

[0034] Property Configuration Interface: Double-click this component to open the property configuration interface, where users need to enter relevant information about the target device, such as the device address, port number, data point, etc. For example, if the user wants to collect real-time temperature data from a CNC machine tool, they need to enter the CNC machine tool's IP address, port number, and data point in the configuration interface.

[0035] Before configuration, some industrial digital robot components are configured with basic functions. For example, the timed trigger component is triggered every 5 seconds by default. If the user uses it directly without configuration, the industrial digital robot will run according to the default configuration.

[0036] After configuration, taking the timed trigger component as an example, when the user modifies the configuration, for example, changing the 5-second trigger to trigger every Monday at 9:00, the industrial digital robot will execute according to the rules set by the user, that is, it will execute every Monday at 9:00 and will not execute at other times.

[0037] Establishing a connection: After configuration is complete, the industrial digital robot automatically establishes a connection with the production equipment (CNC machine tools), using the Modbus TCP protocol to obtain real-time data from the equipment. At this point, the industrial digital robot can continuously monitor the temperature changes of the CNC machine tools.

[0038] Furthermore, the design module also includes a process distribution design unit; the process distribution design unit includes a process distribution design workbench; the configuration module includes a process distribution configuration unit; the process distribution design workbench is used to call and deploy the production line process distribution trigger component from the functional component library; the process distribution configuration unit is used to configure the production line process distribution trigger component using the process recipe that has been entered into the industrial digital robot.

[0039] In this example, you can first enter a process recipe into the Industrial Digital Robot: enter the recipe name, version number, and add a process name. You can add a single process or multiple processes. The Industrial Digital Robot supports one-click import of equipment processes via files, PLC IO, or equipment point tables. Select the process release component: Select the production line process release trigger component from the functional component library and drag it into the design area.

[0040] The process delivery configuration unit configures process parameters: in the property configuration interface, select the process recipe that has been entered into the industrial digital robot to complete the process delivery binding.

[0041] Furthermore, the design module also includes a production design unit; the production design unit includes a production design workbench; the production design workbench is used to call and deploy various production functional components and completion functional components from the functional component library, and use various production functional components and completion functional components to build multiple production rules according to the production process to complete product production; the completion functional component is used to send a completion signal to the next process functional module to trigger the next production process.

[0042] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 Or 7, add multiple functional components to the production design workbench (design area), and drag the mouse to form connections. The connection method builds a complete operation rule. The role of the connection is to define the logical relationship and execution order between nodes.

[0043] The specific construction method of the connection is as follows: In the Production Design workbench (design area), select two components and drag them to create a connecting line. The direction of the connecting line indicates the direction of data flow: the output of the previous node becomes the input of the current node, and the output of the current node becomes the input of the next node. The principles for constructing connections are based on the actual needs of industrial processes. For example, if a factory needs to collect real-time data from equipment, it needs to connect the "Timed Trigger" component to the "Industrial Control Protocol" component of that equipment.

[0044] After the process parameters are issued, the production equipment will perform production operations according to the received process instructions.

[0045] Furthermore, the production function component includes a real-time monitoring component; the real-time monitoring component communicates with each production equipment through the communication protocol component, continuously monitors and obtains the operating status information of the production equipment, and transmits the operating status information to the HMI interaction unit for display monitoring.

[0046] Specific implementation steps: Process Execution: After receiving the process parameters from the process control unit, the production equipment begins processing according to the set process requirements. This stage may include multiple operations such as cutting, welding, and assembly, depending on the product type and production process requirements.

[0047] Real-time status monitoring: Industrial digital robots continuously monitor the operating status of equipment through communication connections established with production equipment (such as using the Modbus TCP protocol).

[0048] Monitoring content can include, but is not limited to, the currently executing process, estimated completion time, and equipment health status. Furthermore, key indicators or thresholds (such as temperature and pressure) can be set. Once these indicators exceed normal ranges, the industrial digital robot will immediately issue a warning or take appropriate measures. Alternatively, the monitored data can be transmitted to an HMI interface unit for display.

[0049] Receiving a Production Completion Signal: When the production equipment completes a designated production task, the completion component sends a "Production Completion" signal to the industrial digital robot. This completion component can be automatic (triggered automatically), for example, when all scheduled processes have been completed, or manual (triggered manually), where the operator manually inputs confirmation of the task's completion. Users can select the desired signal. Based on the completion signal, the industrial digital robot can automatically trigger the next stage of operation.

[0050] Furthermore, the design module also includes a transportation design unit; the transportation design unit includes a transportation design workbench; the configuration unit includes a transportation design configuration unit; the transportation design workbench is used to call and deploy the transportation function component, the first generation task order group and the notification component from the function component library; the transportation design configuration unit is used to configure the transportation function component, the production task order component and the notification component; the transportation function component is used to control the production equipment to transport the product to the designated workstation, the first generation task order group is used to activate the corresponding transportation function component, and the notification component is used to trigger the quality inspection function component in the HMI interaction unit.

[0051] In this embodiment, the scheduling task of the AGV can be issued by using the first generated task order group. Use the transportation design configuration unit to configure the AGV parameters: select the corresponding AGV configuration in the property configuration interface of the first generated task order group. Configure the AGV start and end stations and parameters. This allows the functional components of the previous production process to clearly understand which AGV system the task instructions should be sent to. Configure the start station and end station of the scheduling. For example, if the product needs to be transported from the production line to the quality inspection area, set the start station to "Production Line A" and the end station to "Quality Inspection Area B". These location names should be defined in the industrial digital robot in advance for accurate identification and positioning.

[0052] Triggering a Scheduling Task: When a production machine completes a task and signals completion, the First Task Generation Unit automatically activates according to the configured conditions. Based on the configuration, the First Task Generation Unit generates the corresponding scheduling instructions and sends them to the AGV system via the established connection. The First Task Generation Unit is responsible not only for creating the task but also for ensuring that it is received and executed by the correct AGV system.

[0053] After receiving the dispatch request, the AGV system will return a request result as feedback. This result will be used as the output data of this node and can be further passed to the next node for processing.

[0054] In an automated production process, after a product is completed and transported to a designated location by an AGV, a crucial next step is triggering a quality inspection notification to ensure that product quality meets standards. Select an appropriate notification component from the functional component library, such as the "Send Email" component or the "DingTalk Notification" component, to trigger the quality inspection notification. Drag the notification component into the Transport Design workbench (design area) and position it appropriately, logically connecting it to the preceding node (e.g., calling an AGV to transport a product).

[0055] Configure notification parameters in the Transportation Design Configuration Unit: Enter the necessary information in the selected notification component's property configuration interface. For example, enter the DingTalk robot webhook address in the DingTalk notification component's property configuration.

[0056] Execute the Send operation: Once all configurations are complete and the trigger conditions are met, the industrial digital robot will automatically generate a notification and send it to the relevant personnel via the selected method. This automated triggering of quality inspection notifications not only improves work efficiency but also ensures the timeliness and accuracy of quality inspections. This process fully demonstrates the close integration of information flow and material flow in modern industrial automation industrial digital robots.

[0057] Furthermore, the design module also includes a result judgment design unit; the result judgment design unit includes a result judgment design workbench; the configuration unit includes a result judgment design configuration unit; the result judgment design workbench is used to call and deploy HMI event trigger components and decision components from the functional component library; the result judgment design configuration unit is used to configure the HMI event trigger components and decision components; the HMI event trigger component is used to monitor events from the HMI interaction unit, and the decision component is used to trigger the functional components of the next process according to the HMI event.

[0058] In this embodiment, after the manual approval step (HMI interaction unit) in the production process is completed, the next key step is to determine whether the product is qualified based on the results submitted by the quality inspector and determine the subsequent actions accordingly. This process is automated through the HMI event trigger component, ensuring that each product is correctly classified and processed according to established standards.

[0059] Select and drag an HMI Event Trigger component from the Functional Component Library into the Result Judgment Design workbench. This component listens for events from the HMI interaction unit, such as when a quality inspector submits inspection results. Use the Result Judgment Design Configuration unit to configure the specific response actions when an inspector submits inspection results via the HMI dashboard.

[0060] When the quality inspector manually approves the product as qualified: If the quality inspector selects "qualified" on the HMI interactive unit, the storage operation will be executed. This means that the industrial digital robot will automatically mark the product as qualified and arrange for it to enter the next processing link or be directly stored.

[0061] If the quality inspector selects "Unqualified" after manual review, the rework and repair process is triggered. Specifically, the industrial digital robot reassigns the product to its pre-processing state for further comprehensive inspection and processing. This includes, but is not limited to, returning the product to the repair area for necessary repairs. Once repairs are complete, the product will undergo the entire quality inspection process again.

[0062] Industrial digital robots rely on data input by quality inspectors on HMI interactive units to make judgments. This data may include a simple pass / fail label, a detailed description of the failure reason, and any additional evidence (such as photos).

[0063] Based on the above information, industrial digital robots can accurately identify the status of each product and make corresponding processing decisions accordingly.

[0064] The decision component performs the corresponding actions: Qualified products: Once a product is determined to be qualified, the industrial digital robot will not only update the product status record but also initiate the next stage of the process, such as notifying the logistics department to prepare for transportation to the next workstation or warehouse.

[0065] Defective Products: For products marked as defective, the industrial digital robot automatically generates a rework document and sends it to the relevant maintenance team. It also records the reason for the failure, facilitating subsequent quality analysis and the development of improvement measures.

[0066] In this way, the HMI event trigger component effectively connects manual approval (HMI interaction unit) with the automated processing logic of the industrial digital robot, achieving precise control and efficient management of product quality. Whether it is further processing of qualified products or re-inspection of unqualified products, both can be properly arranged, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire production process.

[0067] Furthermore, the design module also includes an incoming design unit; the incoming design unit includes an incoming design workbench; the configuration unit includes an incoming design configuration unit; the incoming design workbench is used to call and deploy the generated task order component from the functional component library; the incoming design configuration unit is used to configure the generated task order component; the generated task order component is used to transport products that have passed quality inspection to a designated location in the warehouse.

[0068] In this embodiment, after a product passes quality inspection and is confirmed as qualified, the industrial digital robot automatically performs the warehousing operation. Select the second "Generate Task Order" component from the functional component library and drag it into the design area of ​​the warehousing design workbench. In the warehousing design configuration unit, enter or select task-related information, including the starting station (the area where quality inspection has been completed), the target station (a designated warehouse location), and product information (such as product ID, name, quantity, etc.). Once configured, the industrial digital robot automatically generates a task order and sends it to the AGV scheduling system via an interface.

[0069] After receiving the task order, the AGV follows the set route from the starting station to the target station, transporting the product to the designated warehouse location. During the transportation process, the industrial digital robot monitors the AGV status in real time to ensure the successful completion of the task.

[0070] After the product arrives at the warehouse, the industrial digital robot automatically records the product's warehousing information through the barcode scanning device, updates the inventory data in the inventory management industrial digital robot, and changes the product status to "in stock".

[0071] End node: The process ends. After the entire process is completed, the industrial digital robot enters the end node and waits for new production tasks.

[0072] The second aspect is a production process management method based on key node approval, which uses the industrial digital robot of the first aspect. Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a specific embodiment of a production process management method based on key node approval in this application; it includes: Step 100: Call functional components from the functional component library according to product production needs, and use functional components to build production rules; Step 200: Configure parameters of each functional component according to product production needs; wherein, step 100 includes: Step 110: Deploy multiple interactive components on the approval design workbench, and perform quality inspection and data information interaction based on the deployed interactive components.

[0073] Preferably, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A flowchart of a specific embodiment of step 100 in FIG. Step 100 further includes: step 120, calling and deploying each production functional component and completion functional component from the functional component library; step 130, constructing multiple production rules based on the production process using each production functional component and completion functional component to complete product production; and step 140, sending a completion signal to the quality inspection component to trigger the quality inspection process.

Data sharing between different functional process modules enables key decision-making information to be promptly fed back to the HMI interaction unit of the industrial digital robot, thereby improving collaborative efficiency.

[0075] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
