Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fragrance and flavor formulation technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium for preparing liquid formulation. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of flavor and fragrance formulation, there are some raw materials with special properties, high economic value and small batch usage that are not suitable for automatic formulation in conventional sugar and flavor production lines. These materials must be removed from the batch formula and formulated separately. These materials can be called small materials.

[0003] Currently, the preparation of the aforementioned small-scale ingredients is mainly done manually. This involves separating them from the main automated preparation process and manually retrieving the corresponding raw materials from the raw material warehouse for preparation. After preparation, these are then manually combined with the main process to form a complete formula liquid. However, this manual preparation method suffers from problems such as slow processing time, low efficiency, and poor accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for preparing liquid materials, which solves the problems existing in the current manual preparation of small materials lines and improves the preparation process, accuracy, and efficiency of small material preparation.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for preparing a liquid mixture, the method comprising: Determine the target raw materials corresponding to the minor materials from the main production plan, and calculate the corresponding liquid preparation sheet for the target raw materials based on the main production plan and the target raw materials.

[0006] Based on the liquid preparation form, the target raw material, and the raw material properties of the target raw material, the target preparation station is assigned to the target raw material, and after the preparation is completed at the target preparation station, the semi-finished small material is obtained.

[0007] When the semi-finished liquid material for the main production line is completed, the semi-finished small materials are mixed with the semi-finished liquid material to obtain the prepared liquid material.

[0008] The liquid preparation method provided in this invention first selects the target raw materials corresponding to the small materials that cannot be prepared through the main production line based on the main production plan, and calculates the liquid preparation order corresponding to the target raw materials. Then, using the liquid preparation order and the raw material attributes of the target raw materials, target preparation stations are assigned to different target raw material distributors. This not only automatically and quickly filters target raw materials from the main production plan and calculates their corresponding liquid preparation orders, but also ensures that each target raw material is allocated to a suitable target preparation station according to its raw material attributes, guaranteeing the rationality of preparation between target raw materials and target preparation stations. It also ensures that multiple target raw materials are prepared simultaneously at different preparation stations, thereby shortening the preparation time for the same formula. By determining the semi-finished liquid preparation matching the small semi-finished material based on the main production batch information marked on the semi-finished liquid preparation produced on the main production line, and mixing the two, a prepared liquid preparation is obtained. This enables the automated mixing of semi-finished products prepared separately by the small material line and the main line to obtain the final required main production liquid preparation. Therefore, this embodiment can automatically separate the liquid production process of the small material part in the main production plan, and obtain the prepared liquid by automatically calculating the liquid preparation sheet, automatically allocating the target station to the target raw material, and mixing the semi-finished small material and the semi-finished liquid. This solves the problems existing in the current manual preparation of small material lines and improves the preparation process, preparation accuracy and preparation efficiency.

[0009] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a liquid preparation apparatus, the apparatus comprising: The calculation module is used to determine the target raw materials corresponding to the minor materials from the main production plan, and to calculate the corresponding liquid preparation sheet for the target raw materials based on the main production plan and the target raw materials.

[0010] The allocation module is used to allocate target preparation stations to target raw materials according to the liquid preparation order, target raw materials and the raw material properties of the target raw materials, and to obtain semi-finished small materials after the preparation is completed at the target preparation station.

[0011] The mixing module is used to mix the semi-finished small materials with the semi-finished liquid when the semi-finished liquid of the main production line is completed, so as to obtain the prepared liquid.

[0012] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention also provide an electronic device, the electronic device comprising: At least one processor; and A memory that is communicatively connected to at least one processor; wherein, The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by at least one processor, such that the at least one processor is able to perform the liquid preparation method of any embodiment of the present invention.

[0015] It should be noted that the aforementioned computer instructions may be stored, in whole or in part, on a computer-readable storage medium. This computer-readable storage medium may be packaged together with the processor of the liquid preparation device, or it may be packaged separately from the processor of the liquid preparation device; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0027] In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0028] Figure 1This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a liquid preparation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the automatic preparation of small ingredients during the formulation of flavorings and fragrances. The method can be executed by a liquid preparation device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be integrated into an electronic device. In this embodiment, the electronic device can be a computer or production system in a liquid preparation production line. (Continue to refer to...) Figure 1 This embodiment specifically includes: S101. Determine the target raw materials corresponding to the minor materials from the main production plan, and calculate the liquid preparation sheet corresponding to the target raw materials based on the main production plan and the target raw materials.

[0029] In this embodiment, the main production plan refers to the liquid production plan issued by the main production line. In this embodiment, some raw materials in the main production plan have unique properties, high economic value, and small batch quantities, making them unsuitable for automatic formulation in the regular sugar and flavor production line. These smaller ingredients must be removed from the batch formulation and formulated separately. In this embodiment, the target raw material is the raw material required for formulating the smaller ingredients. The liquid preparation sheet is used to characterize the formulation information required for the target raw material corresponding to each smaller ingredient in the main production plan. Optionally, in this embodiment, the production line after the target raw material is determined can be defined as the smaller ingredient production line.

[0030] Specifically, in conventional sugar and flavor production, if a main production line plan includes a minor ingredient preparation process, the liquid preparation device can obtain the main production line plan and, based on the raw material list and minor ingredient selection rules in the main production line plan, determine the minor ingredients and their corresponding target raw materials. Furthermore, based on the demand information for the target raw material and other raw materials in the main production line plan, as well as the proportion information among all raw materials, the liquid preparation order corresponding to the target raw material can be calculated.

[0031] S102. Based on the liquid preparation form, the target raw material and the raw material properties of the target raw material, the target preparation station is assigned to the target raw material, and after the preparation is completed at the target preparation station, the semi-finished small material is obtained.

[0032] Here, raw material attributes refer to the properties and characteristics possessed by the raw materials; in this embodiment, raw material attributes mainly include the raw material properties and the weight of a single raw material. The target preparation station is the final selected preparation station for preparing the small ingredients; in this embodiment, the preparation station may include multiple stations. The semi-finished small ingredients are all the semi-finished liquids obtained by individually preparing the finished liquid using the small ingredients as raw materials in the main production plan.

[0033] Specifically, after obtaining the liquid preparation sheet, the preparation information and properties of each target raw material in the sheet can be used to determine which target raw materials can be prepared at which preparation station. The final selected preparation station is the target preparation station. Then, the corresponding target raw materials are prepared at the target preparation station, and all the liquid preparations from the target preparation stations are mixed to obtain the semi-finished product.

[0034] For example, because the raw materials of the minor ingredients have special properties and varying batch quantities, and because the preparation precision, structural design, and preparation attributes of different minor ingredient preparation stations differ, it is necessary to assign appropriate preparation stations to the target raw materials in order to ensure that the target raw materials are allocated to suitable preparation stations and that the overall properties of the multiple target raw materials to be prepared meet the preparation attributes of that preparation station. Simultaneously, since multiple target raw materials are assigned to different target preparation stations, it is possible to ensure that multiple target raw materials are prepared simultaneously at different preparation stations, thus shortening the preparation time for the same formula.

[0035] Optionally, in one implementation, target raw materials with the same or similar properties can be prepared at the same target preparation station. For example, thick target raw materials with the same properties can be assigned to a preparation station with higher precision, or target raw materials with heavier but smaller quantities can be assigned to a preparation station capable of bearing greater weight. In another implementation, target raw materials with higher preparation requirements can be first assigned to appropriate preparation stations based on their properties. Then, the remaining target raw materials with lower preparation requirements can be evenly distributed among the preparation stations according to their remaining load-bearing capacity.

[0036] In this embodiment, the target raw materials corresponding to the small materials that cannot be prepared through the main production line are first selected based on the main production plan, and the corresponding liquid preparation sheets for the target raw materials are calculated. Then, the liquid preparation sheets and the raw material attributes of the target raw materials are used to assign target preparation stations to different target raw material distributors. This not only realizes the automatic and rapid screening of target raw materials from the main production plan and the calculation of their corresponding liquid preparation sheets, but also ensures that each target raw material is allocated to a more suitable target preparation station according to its raw material attributes. This ensures the rationality of the preparation between target raw materials and target preparation stations, and also ensures that multiple target raw materials are prepared simultaneously at different preparation stations, thereby shortening the preparation time of the same formula.

[0037] S103. When the semi-finished liquid material for the main production line is completed, the semi-finished small materials are mixed with the semi-finished liquid material to obtain the prepared liquid material.

[0038] In this embodiment, the main production line is a production line where raw materials corresponding to non-minor materials in the main production plan are prepared into liquid materials using an automated preparation line. The semi-finished liquid material is obtained by preparing the raw materials corresponding to non-minor materials into liquid materials using an automated preparation line. The prepared liquid material is the liquid material that the main production plan ultimately requires.

[0039] Specifically, when the semi-finished liquid material produced by the automated production line is completed, the semi-finished liquid material corresponding to the specially prepared semi-finished small material can be matched according to the main production batch information marked by the main production line for the semi-finished liquid material. The semi-finished small material is then mixed with the semi-finished liquid material to obtain the prepared liquid material.

[0040] In this embodiment, by determining the main production batch information of the semi-finished material liquid produced on the main production line and matching it with the semi-finished material liquid of the sub-materials, and mixing the two to obtain the prepared material liquid, it is possible to automatically mix the semi-finished products prepared separately by the sub-material line and the main line to obtain the final required main line material liquid. Therefore, this embodiment can automatically separate the material liquid production process of the sub-material part in the main production plan, and obtain the prepared material liquid by automatically calculating the material liquid preparation sheet, automatically allocating the target station to the target raw material, and mixing the semi-finished material liquid and the semi-finished material liquid. This solves the problems existing in the current manual preparation of sub-material lines, and improves the preparation process, preparation accuracy, and preparation efficiency.

[0041] The liquid preparation method provided in this invention first selects the target raw materials corresponding to the small materials that cannot be prepared through the main production line based on the main production plan, and calculates the liquid preparation order corresponding to the target raw materials. Then, using the liquid preparation order and the raw material attributes of the target raw materials, target preparation stations are assigned to different target raw material distributors. This not only automatically and quickly filters target raw materials from the main production plan and calculates their corresponding liquid preparation orders, but also ensures that each target raw material is allocated to a suitable target preparation station according to its raw material attributes, guaranteeing the rationality of preparation between target raw materials and target preparation stations. It also ensures that multiple target raw materials are prepared simultaneously at different preparation stations, thereby shortening the preparation time for the same formula. By determining the semi-finished liquid preparation matching the small semi-finished material based on the main production batch information marked on the semi-finished liquid preparation produced on the main production line, and mixing the two, a prepared liquid preparation is obtained. This enables the automated mixing of semi-finished products prepared separately by the small material line and the main line to obtain the final required main production liquid preparation. Therefore, this embodiment can automatically separate the liquid production process of the small material part in the main production plan, and obtain the prepared liquid by automatically calculating the liquid preparation sheet, automatically allocating the target station to the target raw material, and mixing the semi-finished small material and the semi-finished liquid. This solves the problems existing in the current manual preparation of small material lines and improves the preparation process, preparation accuracy and preparation efficiency.

[0042] Furthermore, due to the complexity of the component structure (complex raw material varieties, properties, and specifications), the formulation of flavoring and fragrance components is generally a separate production step from the main automated formulation system. It is carried out manually, offline, with the formulation liquid prepared according to the formula sheet and records kept manually. The resulting semi-finished components are then manually added to the main automated formulation system to form the complete formula for that batch of liquid in the main production plan. Therefore… Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for preparing a liquid feedstock according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment, based on the above embodiment, specifically elaborates on the steps of determining the target raw material corresponding to the minor component from the main production plan, calculating the liquid feedstock preparation sheet corresponding to the target raw material, and allocating the target preparation station to the target raw material. (Continue referring to...) Figure 2 The method specifically includes: S201. Determine the raw materials and their corresponding raw material attributes from the main production plan.

[0043] Among them, raw materials are all the raw materials needed in the main production plan.

[0044] Specifically, the main production plan records the production plan for the liquid material to be completed in this production run, as well as the raw materials (raw materials) needed to prepare the liquid material. Furthermore, once the raw materials needed for this production run are determined, the corresponding raw material properties for each raw material can be identified.

[0045] S202. Based on the raw material properties, raw material characteristics, and raw material usage requirements, the raw materials are screened to obtain the target raw materials, and the target raw materials are used as the ingredients to be prepared.

[0046] The raw material property requirements refer to the property requirements that each raw material must meet when preparing the liquid in the main production line plan. The raw material quantity requirements refer to the weight (quantity) requirements that each raw material must meet when preparing the liquid in the main production line plan. The small-scale materials to be prepared are the small-scale materials that need to be prepared on the small-scale material preparation line in this embodiment.

[0047] Specifically, for each raw material, after determining its properties, these properties can be compared with the required formulation characteristics and dosage to select target raw materials. For example, if the required formulation characteristics are limited by liquid flowability, the properties of the raw materials can be used to determine whether they meet the flowability requirements, and raw materials that do not meet the flowability requirements can be selected as target raw materials. Similarly, if the total amount of raw materials does not meet the dosage requirements, such as the minimum weight requirement, then these raw materials can be selected as target raw materials. Furthermore, the selected target raw materials are then used as the ingredients to be formulated.

[0048] In this embodiment, the raw materials are automatically screened based on the requirements for raw material properties and the requirements for raw material usage. This enables the quick and accurate determination of the target raw materials to be used as small components in the current main production plan, providing an accurate basis for matching small component production lines to the target raw materials separately in the future.

[0049] S203. Based on the total weight of liquid materials and the proportion of all raw materials in the main production plan, calculate the weight to be prepared for each target raw material.

[0050] The total weight of the liquid is the total weight of the liquid to be prepared. The preparation ratio is the ratio of the preparation amounts of all raw materials required for the liquid in the main production line plan. The weight to be prepared is the weight of each target raw material that needs to be prepared in the small-scale production line.

[0051] Specifically, the total weight of the liquid material and the required liquid material formula can be determined from the main production plan. Therefore, the proportion of all raw materials can be determined based on the liquid material formula and total weight, and the weight to be prepared for each target raw material can be calculated accordingly.

[0052] For example, if the total weight of the liquid is 2000 kg, there are a total of 30 raw materials, including 6 target materials, and the proportion of all materials is known, then the weight of each material in the 2000 kg can be determined based on the proportion of each material and the total weight. Then, the weight of the target material is taken as the weight to be prepared.

[0053] S204. Use the weight of all target raw materials to be prepared as the liquid preparation sheet for the target raw materials.

[0054] Among them, the liquid preparation sheet is used to characterize the preparation information corresponding to each target raw material that needs to be prepared in this small-scale preparation process.

[0055] Specifically, once the weight to be prepared for each target raw material is determined, the required quantity of each target raw material is determined. Therefore, the weight to be prepared for all target raw materials can be used as the liquid preparation list for the target raw materials.

[0056] In this embodiment, based on the proportion of the original raw materials and the total weight of the liquid, the preparation order of the small material to be prepared can be automatically and accurately calculated, providing a basis for accurate preparation of the small material liquid in the future.

[0057] S205. Send a material request to the raw material warehouse of the small material line so that the raw material warehouse of the small material line can determine and provide feedback on the current inventory information of the target raw material based on the liquid preparation sheet in the material request.

[0058] The small-material production line raw material warehouse is specifically set up for raw materials that may be classified as small materials in the commonly used main production line plan. The material request includes information on the small materials required, such as the liquid preparation sheet. The current inventory information is the inventory information of the target raw material in the small-material production line raw material warehouse at the time the material request is initiated.

[0059] Specifically, after the liquid preparation order is determined, a material request can be sent to the raw material warehouse of the small material line. In this way, the raw material warehouse of the small material line can first determine whether the inventory of the target raw material is sufficient based on the liquid preparation order, and then feed back the current inventory information to the liquid preparation device.

[0060] S206. If it is determined that the current inventory information of at least one target raw material is insufficient, an insufficient inventory warning is initiated, and an inventory replenishment feedback triggered based on the insufficient inventory warning is received; then return to execute S205.

[0061] Specifically, if it is determined that the current inventory information of at least one target raw material is insufficient, it means that the raw material warehouse of the small material line cannot retrieve the quantity of all target raw materials required in the liquid preparation order. Therefore, the liquid preparation device can issue an inventory shortage warning to the staff, allowing them to identify the currently missing target raw materials and prepare the necessary parts. Finally, when the staff completes the preparation and reports completion, the liquid preparation device receives inventory replenishment feedback triggered by the staff based on the inventory shortage warning. Furthermore, after confirming receipt of inventory replenishment feedback, it can return to S205 to re-determine the current inventory information of the target raw materials.

[0062] S207. Ensure that the current inventory information for all target raw materials is sufficient.

[0063] Specifically, if it is determined that the current inventory information of all target raw materials is sufficient, it means that there is no need to replenish the target raw materials at this time. The required target raw materials can be directly extracted from the raw material warehouse of the small material line, and then the step S208 can be continued.

[0064] In this embodiment, after determining the liquid preparation order, the current inventory of the target raw materials in the small material line's raw material warehouse can be checked first to see if it is sufficient. If the current inventory of any target raw material is insufficient, the staff can be notified so that they can replenish the insufficient target raw material as soon as possible. If the current inventory of all target raw materials is sufficient, the subsequent steps can be directly continued. Therefore, determining the inventory of the target raw materials in the liquid preparation order from the small material line's raw material warehouse enables the rapid determination of the inventory status from the small material line's raw material warehouse and the rapid acquisition of the corresponding target raw materials based on the demand for the target raw materials, ensuring the production efficiency and accuracy of the small material line in the main production plan.

[0065] S208. Obtain the formulation attribute information of the candidate formulation stations, and determine the raw material formulation restrictions corresponding to each candidate formulation station based on the formulation attribute information.

[0066] Among them, the candidate preparation stations are those currently capable of preparation. Preparation attribute information is used to characterize the attributes of the preparation station for preparing small ingredients; in this embodiment, the preparation attribute information includes the accuracy of the preparation scale, the diameter of the preparation pipe, the speed of the peristaltic pump, and the flow rate of the preparation. Raw material preparation restrictions are used to screen the target raw materials that each candidate preparation station can prepare.

[0067] Specifically, the preparation attribute information of each candidate preparation station is obtained. Then, the raw material preparation limitations for each candidate preparation station can be determined based on this attribute information. For example, if the mixing pipe diameter of a candidate preparation station is large, there may be a requirement for the viscosity of the target raw material; therefore, the viscosity of the target raw material can be used as a raw material preparation limitation. As another example, if the mixing scale accuracy of a candidate preparation station is low, the required accuracy of the target raw material can be used as a raw material preparation limitation. Furthermore, if a candidate preparation station has a limited capacity to handle a certain amount of raw material weight, the total weight of the raw material can be used as a raw material preparation limitation.

[0068] S209. Determine the intermediate preparation station corresponding to each target raw material based on the raw material properties and raw material preparation restrictions of each target raw material.

[0069] The intermediate distribution stations are the distribution stations that remain after the first round of screening of the candidate distribution stations.

[0070] Specifically, since the raw material preparation restrictions directly represent the attributes of the target raw materials that each preparation station can allow, if the raw material attributes of the target raw material do not match the raw material preparation restrictions, then the target raw material cannot be prepared on the candidate preparation station. Therefore, the intermediate preparation station corresponding to each target raw material can be determined directly based on the raw material preparation restrictions and the raw material attributes of the target raw material.

[0071] For example, determining the intermediate preparation station corresponding to each target raw material based on its raw material properties and preparation constraints includes: (i) For each target raw material, pre-selected preparation stations are obtained by screening based on the weight of the individual raw material in the raw material attributes and the individual raw material limit in the raw material preparation limit of each candidate preparation station.

[0072] The monomer raw material limit is used to restrict the weight of each target raw material on the candidate formulation station. The pre-selected formulation station is the formulation station obtained from the second screening of target raw materials.

[0073] Specifically, since each preparation station can bear different weights, and the individual raw material weights of each target raw material may vary greatly, the individual raw material limits in the raw material preparation restrictions of each candidate preparation station can be used to match the individual raw material weights corresponding to each target raw material, so as to determine the pre-selected preparation station that can meet the individual raw material weights of each target raw material.

[0074] (ii) Based on the raw material properties in the raw material attributes and the raw material processing restrictions in the raw material preparation restrictions of the pre-selected preparation stations, intermediate preparation stations are determined from the pre-selected preparation stations.

[0075] Among them, the raw material processing limitation refers to the limitation on the raw materials that the preparation station can process; in this embodiment, the raw material processing limitation may be the limitation on the properties of the raw materials, the limitation on the consistency of the raw materials, and the limitation on the precision of the raw material processing.

[0076] Specifically, different target raw materials have different raw material properties, and each raw material property affects the consistency of the raw material. It also involves the required processing precision for the target raw material. Therefore, based on the raw material properties in the raw material attributes, the raw material properties, consistency, and processing precision of each target raw material in this formulation can be determined. Furthermore, the matching of the target raw material with the raw material formulation restrictions of each pre-selected formulation station can be determined. For example, if the target raw material has a dynamic viscosity greater than 5000 centipoise, it can be determined to be a viscous substance. In this case, its dynamic viscosity can be used as a consistency index and compared with the consistency restriction of the raw material in the pre-selected formulation station's raw material formulation restrictions. Similarly, if the required formulation precision of the target raw material is determined to be 0.001 kg, it can be compared with the precision restriction of the raw material processing. Therefore, after comparison in the above manner, the pre-selected formulation station that meets the requirements for formulating the target raw material can be designated as the intermediate formulation station corresponding to that target raw material.

[0077] In this embodiment, the raw material preparation restrictions of each pre-selected preparation station are used to determine whether the raw material attributes corresponding to each target raw material meet the raw material preparation restrictions of the pre-selected preparation station, thereby determining the intermediate preparation station corresponding to each target raw material and realizing a second screening of the raw material preparation station.

[0078] S210. Based on the liquid preparation sheet and the intermediate preparation station corresponding to each target raw material, assign a target preparation station to each target raw material.

[0079] Specifically, after selecting an intermediate preparation station for each target raw material, since some target raw materials may correspond to more than one intermediate preparation station, it is possible to further select matching target preparation stations for these target raw materials.

[0080] For example, assigning a target preparation station to each target raw material according to the liquid preparation sheet and the intermediate preparation station corresponding to each target raw material includes: (a) For each target raw material, determine the number of intermediate preparation stations corresponding to the target raw material, and take the intermediate preparation station with a number of one intermediate preparation station corresponding to the target raw material as the target preparation station corresponding to the target raw material.

[0081] Specifically, for each target raw material, if it is determined that the number of intermediate preparation stations corresponding to the target raw material is one, then that intermediate preparation station can be directly used as the target preparation station corresponding to the target raw material. And, if it is determined that the number of intermediate preparation stations corresponding to the target raw material is multiple, then proceed to step (II).

[0082] (ii) For each target raw material for which no corresponding target preparation station has been determined, the target preparation station corresponding to the target raw material shall be determined based on the intermediate preparation station corresponding to the target raw material and the remaining allowable raw material weight of the intermediate preparation station.

[0083] Specifically, for each target raw material for which no corresponding target preparation station has been determined, i.e., a target raw material corresponding to multiple intermediate preparation stations, the target preparation station corresponding to the target raw material can be further determined based on the remaining allowable raw material weight of the intermediate preparation stations.

[0084] For example, suppose there are two intermediate preparation stations, A and B, for target raw material 1, and target raw material 2 is designated as preparation station A. Therefore, for A, the weight of the target raw material to be prepared is already determined to be the weight of target raw material 2. Thus, for each target raw material for which no corresponding preparation station has been determined, the remaining allowable raw material weight of its corresponding intermediate preparation station can be calculated first. For example, for A, the remaining allowable raw material weight can be obtained by subtracting the weight of target raw material 2 from the total allowable raw material weight. Then, it is determined whether the remaining allowable raw material weight is less than the raw material weight of target raw material 1. If it is less than the raw material weight of target raw material 1, A can be excluded from the option of the target preparation station corresponding to target raw material 1. If it is equal to or greater than the raw material weight of target raw material 1, the option of A as the target preparation station corresponding to target raw material 1 is temporarily retained. At the same time, the situation of station B is determined, and the corresponding target preparation station for target raw material 1 is determined according to the situation of station B.

[0085] Optionally, when selecting a target preparation station, in addition to considering the remaining allowable raw material weight of each intermediate preparation station, it is also possible to consider whether the total weight of the selected target raw materials among the stations is average, so as to ensure that the total weight of the target raw materials to be prepared at each selected target preparation station is similar.

[0086] In this embodiment, for target raw materials that correspond to only one intermediate preparation station, the target preparation station is preferentially determined. This ensures that each target raw material can select its most appropriate preparation station to complete the subsequent preparation task. Simultaneously, for target raw materials with multiple corresponding intermediate preparation stations, the optimal target preparation station can be determined based on the remaining allowable raw material weight of the preparation stations already allocated to the target raw material and the weight of the target raw material to be allocated to the target preparation station. This not only ensures that the total amount of target raw material allocated to each preparation station does not exceed the limit, but also ensures that the total amount of target raw material allocated to each preparation station is as similar as possible, guaranteeing an average division of preparation tasks for each preparation station, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of subsequent small-scale ingredient preparation.

[0087] S211. After the preparation is completed at the target preparation station, semi-finished small materials are obtained.

[0088] Specifically, the target raw materials are prepared at the target preparation station assigned to them. After preparation, the finished products prepared at all the target preparation stations are mixed to obtain semi-finished materials.

[0089] Optionally, after obtaining the semi-finished materials, corresponding production line labels can be added to the semi-finished materials. The label content can include the corresponding main production line plan and the corresponding production batch, so as to provide an accurate basis for finding the corresponding semi-finished liquid in the future.

[0090] S212. When the semi-finished liquid material produced on the main production line is completed, the semi-finished small materials are mixed with the semi-finished liquid material to obtain the prepared liquid material.

[0091] Specifically, when the semi-finished liquid material produced by the automated production line is completed, the semi-finished liquid material corresponding to the specially prepared semi-finished small material can be matched according to the main production batch information marked by the main production line for the semi-finished liquid material. The semi-finished small material is then mixed with the semi-finished liquid material to obtain the prepared liquid material.

[0092] Optionally, the small-material transport control between the small-material line raw material warehouse and the liquid preparation device in this embodiment can be achieved through interaction via conveyor line electrical control equipment, shuttle car single-unit electrical control equipment, stacker crane equipment, and automated guided vehicle (AGV) equipment. Simultaneously, the above system can also serve as a control device for mixing semi-finished small materials with semi-finished liquid when the semi-finished liquid is completed, obtaining a prepared liquid, and returning it to the main production line. For example, during liquid mixing, an AAV can carry the semi-finished liquid to the liquid preparation device, and after mixing, a stacker crane can be used to return the prepared liquid to the main production line.

[0093] Optionally, if a target preparation station malfunctions during the preparation process according to the target preparation station, the target preparation station can be reassigned to the target raw materials based on the raw material properties of the remaining unprepared target raw materials, the intermediate preparation stations corresponding to the remaining unprepared target raw materials (excluding the target preparation station), and the current preparation status of the intermediate preparation stations corresponding to the remaining unprepared target raw materials (excluding the target preparation station).

[0100] Based on the above embodiments, the intermediate preparation station corresponding to each target raw material is determined according to the raw material properties and raw material preparation restrictions of each target raw material. The allocation module 302 is specifically used for: For each target raw material, pre-selected preparation stations are obtained by screening based on the weight of the individual raw material in the raw material attributes and the individual raw material limit in the raw material preparation restrictions of each candidate preparation station; intermediate preparation stations are determined from the pre-selected preparation stations based on the raw material properties in the raw material attributes and the raw material processing restrictions in the raw material preparation restrictions of the pre-selected preparation stations.

If it is determined that the current inventory information of all target raw materials is sufficient, the process continues to execute the step of calculating the liquid preparation sheet corresponding to the target raw material based on the main production plan and the target raw materials.
