Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a production management system for automated control, belonging to the field of production management technology. Background Technology

[0002] Although existing automated control systems have played an important role in production management, the following technical problems and shortcomings still exist: Currently, many production management systems lack effective information sharing and integration across different production stages, resulting in loose connections and severe information silos. This problem delays data transmission and feedback, hindering global optimization management. The independent operation of different equipment and software systems makes real-time sharing and unified management of production data difficult, impacting the coordination and efficiency of the production process.

[0003] Existing automated production systems generally have weak real-time monitoring and response capabilities. When faced with unexpected situations or changes in the production environment, the systems fail to adjust production strategies in a timely manner, leading to production stoppages or quality fluctuations. Furthermore, traditional automated control systems rely on fixed rules and procedures, making it difficult to flexibly respond to dynamically changing production demands and unexpected events.

[0004] Traditional automated control systems rely primarily on hardware and pre-programmed procedures, which limit their control precision and flexibility, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-precision and complex production environments. For example, some production processes require higher precision control, but existing systems struggle to provide sufficient adaptability and accuracy, leading to unstable product quality or waste.

[0005] Existing production management systems have limited data analysis capabilities and lack support for deep learning and intelligent analytics. While the systems can collect large amounts of production data, they cannot effectively perform data mining and in-depth analysis, resulting in insufficient data for decision-making. This lack of intelligent analysis and decision support directly impacts the production management team's control over the production process and limits their optimization potential.

[0006] In multi-process, multi-equipment production environments, existing systems still have significant shortcomings in production resource scheduling. Especially when facing fluctuations in production order volume, resource scheduling and production plan adjustments are inefficient and struggle to respond quickly to changes in demand. Production resource scheduling largely relies on manual or semi-automated methods, lacking a highly intelligent dynamic adjustment mechanism, resulting in low production efficiency and resource utilization.

[0007] Most current production management systems were not designed with future expansion needs in mind, resulting in poor scalability. As production demands and technologies continue to change, existing systems struggle to adapt quickly to the introduction of new equipment, technologies, or processes, failing to effectively support continuous optimization and innovation in the production environment.

[0008] Therefore, how to solve the above problems and improve the integration, real-time response capability, precise control level, data analysis capability, resource scheduling capability and system scalability of the production management system has become a technical challenge that urgently needs to be overcome in the field of automation control. Summary of the Invention

The production resource scheduling module is used for raw material scheduling, equipment scheduling, and personnel scheduling. The production control module is used to control production process parameters based on the collected real-time production data; The quality inspection module is used to inspect the quality of the finished products. The logistics module is used to manage the distribution of raw materials and products.

[0011] Preferably, the production plan generated by the production planning module includes production targets, production cycle, and production process flow.

[0012] Preferably, the production resource scheduling module schedules raw materials by: scheduling raw materials through the warehouse management system; The production resource scheduling module schedules equipment specifically by using the enterprise asset management system.

[0013] Preferably, the production control module collects production data in real time through various types of sensors installed on the production equipment; The production process parameters are calculated based on the collected production data, and the production control module adjusts the production equipment based on these parameters.

[0014] Preferably, the quality inspection module performs quality inspection on the completed products using a visual inspection model.

[0015] Preferably, the system also includes a production monitoring module, which is used to monitor the operation of production equipment in real time through the manufacturing execution system and issue early warning notifications when production equipment malfunctions.

[0016] Preferably, the logistics management module is used to transport raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products by means of automated guided vehicles according to the raw material scheduling plan and production plan of the production resource scheduling module.

[0017] Preferably, the system also includes a data analysis module, which is used to record all data generated during the production process, perform statistical analysis, and evaluate production efficiency, production equipment operating status, and production quality.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention introduces an intelligent scheduling system that can monitor production progress in real time and automatically optimize the production process based on actual conditions. Through AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and intelligent material management, the system can efficiently complete the transportation of raw materials and coordinate the production process, greatly improving production efficiency. At the same time, automated control reduces interference from human factors, making the entire production process more stable and precise. Through the application of these technologies, this invention can effectively improve product quality, reduce production costs, and adapt to changes in different environments and needs, providing the industry with a more intelligent, efficient, and flexible solution.
