[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic design system for non-standard production line solutions, including an equipment information module, a process management module, a solution PPT template module, a process component library module, and a solution management module;

[0023] Equipment Information Module: Includes an equipment information database, which contains basic equipment information, various documents, equipment introduction PPTs, and equipment time sequence information;

[0024] Process Management Module: Includes a process library, which mainly maintains process names and process types;

[0025] PPT Template Module: Responsible for maintaining and uploading solution PPT templates;

[0026] Process Component Library Module: Enter basic component information, select the corresponding process from the process library in the process management module, and select one or more devices from the equipment library in the equipment information module to form a process component block;

[0027] Project Management Module: Select a project PPT template from the PPT Template Module to create basic project information.

[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a gallery module, allowing users to directly select online images from the gallery module when maintaining equipment in the equipment information module, eliminating the need to upload local images.

[0029] Furthermore, it also includes a process route template module, which pre-maintains common general templates;

[0030] When creating a solution, the solution management module can import a general template with one click and then make fine adjustments to improve the efficiency of solution creation. All processes in the process route template module can be automatically matched or manually bound to the process component blocks in the process component library module, and the corresponding equipment of the process component blocks can be read over.

[0031] Furthermore, the process component library module is further specified as follows: various types of equipment in the equipment information module and various processes in the process management module are combined into reusable process component blocks, and quick retrieval and calling are achieved through classification tags to establish a reusable process component library, supporting modular definition of component attributes; the system automatically calls and combines component blocks according to the scheme rules, and allows engineers to dynamically adjust the combination logic.

[0032] Furthermore, the solution management module is further specified as follows: the configuration list Excel file of a single device is automatically integrated into a configuration list of the entire line of devices;

[0033] Generate a full-line timing analysis chart based on the equipment timing information in the equipment information module, including bar charts, line charts, and tables, convert it into an image, and insert it into the slides;

[0034] Based on the solution PPT template in the PPT template module, the equipment introduction PPT is automatically copied into the solution PPT template to generate a structured solution outline.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to a specific embodiment:

[0036] An automated design system for non-standard production line solutions includes an equipment information module, a process management module, a solution PPT template module, a process component library module, a solution management module, a drawing library module, and a process route template module.

[0037] Equipment Information Module: Includes an equipment information database, which contains basic equipment information, various documents, equipment introduction PPTs, and equipment time sequence information;

[0038] This mainly includes basic equipment information, various documents, equipment introduction PPTs, and equipment sequence information. It is the most important basic data of the platform, and equipment needs to be selected from the equipment library when creating a process component library.

[0039] Process Management Module: Includes a process library, which mainly maintains process names and process types;

[0040] The process library mainly maintains process names and process types. It is one of the platform's basic data. When creating a process component library, you need to select the corresponding process.

[0041] PPT Template Module: Responsible for maintaining and uploading solution PPT templates;

[0042] This module is responsible for maintaining the uploaded solution PPT templates. When creating a solution in the solution management module, a specific template can be bound, and the downloaded PPT will be generated based on the template.

[0043] Process Component Library Module: Enter basic component information, select the corresponding process from the process library in the process management module, and select one or more devices from the equipment library in the equipment information module to form a process component block;

[0044] The system combines various equipment in the equipment information module and various processes in the process management module into reusable process component blocks. These components can be quickly retrieved and called through classification tags (such as equipment type, capacity parameters, space requirements, etc.), establishing a reusable process component library. The system supports the modular definition of component attributes (parameters such as size, cycle time, cost, etc.). The system automatically calls and combines component blocks according to the scheme rules and allows engineers to dynamically adjust the combination logic.

[0045] Solution Management Module: Select a solution PPT template from the PPT Template Module to create basic solution information;

[0046] When creating a solution, the solution management module can import a general template with one click and then make fine adjustments to improve the efficiency of solution creation. All processes in the process route template module can be automatically matched or manually bound to the process component blocks in the process component library module, and the corresponding equipment of the process component blocks can be read over.

[0047] The configuration list of a single device in an Excel file is automatically integrated into a configuration list of the entire production line.

[0048] Generate a full-line timing analysis chart based on the equipment timing information in the equipment information module, including bar charts, line charts, and tables, convert it into an image, and insert it into the slides;

[0049] Based on the solution PPT template in the PPT template module, the equipment introduction PPT is automatically copied into the solution PPT template to generate a structured solution outline.

[0050] This mainly includes functions such as creating basic solution information, including overall line cycle time and factory dimensions; intelligent generation of optimal solutions; solution preview; PPT generation and download; configuration list generation and download; time series analysis generation and download; and CAD package download. When creating a solution, a PPT template must be selected. Process route templates can be imported with one click. All processes in the process route can be automatically matched or manually bound to component blocks, and the corresponding equipment for each component will be retrieved.

[0051] By automatically matching and combining standardized modules in the process component library, each process can support manual binding or automatic matching of components that meet the conditions based on cycle time and size parameters. There may be multiple automatically matched components. Each process selects one component and arranges and combines it (while meeting these conditions: the sum of the lengths of all components cannot exceed the length of the entire line, the largest cycle time of a component cannot exceed the cycle time of the entire line, and the cycle times of each component should be as close as possible). This forms multiple combination schemes, enabling rapid optimization of production line design schemes. Multiple recommended schemes that meet the constraints can be output within 1 hour.

[0052] The configuration list of a single piece of equipment in Excel is automatically integrated into a configuration list of the entire production line; based on the timing information of the equipment library, a timing analysis chart of the entire production line is generated, including bar charts, line charts, and tables, which are then converted into images and inserted into the slides; the process routes configured in the solution management are automatically converted into images and inserted into the slides; based on the solution's preset PPT template, the equipment introduction PPT is automatically copied into the template PPT to generate a structured solution outline (including equipment introduction, timing analysis, workstation information, etc.). The innovation lies in achieving seamless integration of "data and documents," avoiding information deviations during manual transcription, while also supporting designers to make secondary adjustments based on the outline, balancing automation efficiency with personalized needs, reducing manual editing time, and eliminating human layout differences.

[0053] Image Gallery Module: When maintaining equipment in the Equipment Information Module, you can directly select online images from the Image Gallery Module without having to upload local images;

[0054] Process route template module: Pre-maintain common general templates.

[0055] By pre-maintaining common templates, the solution management module can import templates with one click when creating a solution, and then make minor adjustments, thereby improving the efficiency of solution creation.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes:

[0057] One-click document packaging and download: PPT, equipment configuration list, CAD package, and time series analysis diagram are automatically generated and downloaded, greatly reducing document production time.

[0058] Knowledge base construction: The process library is responsible for defining the basic production steps, the equipment library and process component library store standardized equipment / functional modules (considering cost, cycle time, size, etc.), and the process route configuration defines the logical sequence between processes.

[0059] Hybrid binding mode component calling system: manual binding, engineers manually select from component library (retaining expert experience) to meet special customization needs, the system automatically matches the optimal component according to multiple parameters, and standardizes production line design.

[0060] Integrated System Architecture and Access Control Mechanism: A three-tier architecture of "system management module + basic service module + business module" was designed to seamlessly integrate user management, departmental access control configuration, operation log tracking, and other functions with the core business of solution design. Role-based access control ensures the controllability of operations for different levels of users (such as administrators, designers, and reviewers) in component library calls, solution editing, and result export. The innovation lies in the deep integration of system security and business processes, ensuring the security of core algorithms and data while improving team collaboration efficiency through standardized operating procedures.

[0061] Algorithm model iteration and upgrade: Based on feedback from actual project data, optimize multi-dimensional calculation algorithms, add extended factors such as "energy consumption index", "equipment maintenance cost" and "supply chain cycle" to improve the accuracy of the optimal solution in complex scenarios, introduce machine learning module, train the model through the implementation effect of historical solutions (such as actual production efficiency and cost deviation rate) to achieve self-evolution of solution calculation, and gradually reduce the dependence on manual adjustment.

[0062] Component Database: Establish a version control and iterative update mechanism for the component library, track component performance improvements and replacement relationships; associate more detailed performance data (accuracy, lifespan, maintenance cycle, energy consumption, compatibility, etc.) with each component block for use in deep algorithm optimization.

[0063] Old production line renovation design: Input existing production line information (layout, equipment, status), and the platform will provide renovation and optimization suggestions.

[0064] Overall production line layout: Deeply integrated with the CAD platform, it automatically generates a preliminary 3D production line layout diagram based on matching process component blocks and process routes.

[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation of this application. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
