Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a metal recycling system, and more particularly to a metal recycling and reclamation production history system with carbon disclosure. [Background technology]

[0002] The Oxford English Dictionary's keyword for 2019 is "climate emergency," which means that abnormal weather caused by global warming is now recognized by the general public as a very serious problem. Because human economic activity is the cause of the current rapid increase in greenhouse gas emissions and the greenhouse effect, international agreements such as the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Protocol both expect carbon to peak within agreed timeframes and enable domestic companies in each country to achieve carbon neutrality in their industrial production / economic activities. To achieve the carbon neutral goal and avoid the increased operating costs caused by EU carbon tax issues such as CBAM, many companies have begun reducing carbon emissions in their production processes.

[0003] Many companies want to reduce their carbon emissions, but most don't know what to do and only take superficial actions such as recycling materials, increasing reforestation, and using solar panels. If responsible companies want to properly address carbon emissions reduction, they must first identify the carbon emissions of all stages of their production process, which is called a "carbon inventory." Unfortunately, even though small and medium-sized enterprises currently recognize the need for inventories, they are very poor at actually conducting inventories of production processes in their supply chains, let alone inventories of recycled materials and recycling processes. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] To provide a metal recycling and regeneration production history system with carbon disclosure that solves the technical problem that in conventional industries, the technology and resources for carbon inventory in the remanufacturing process of recycled materials are insufficient, leading to stagnation in the progress of related carbon reduction and inventory, and affecting the progress of overall carbon neutrality. [Means for solving the problem]

Each of the standard packages containing the recycled material is transported to the warehouse management system for storage. The barcode recognition device scans the barcode of each of the standard packages to obtain an access node for the servo system. Carbon emissions at each stage of the process of filling, transporting, storing, and storing the standard packages of the recycled material are stored in a carbon data report of the servo system.

[0006] The metal recycling and reclaim production history system with carbon disclosure of the present invention further comprises an image capture device, the image capture device is signal-connected to the servo system, and the image capture device records real-time images of each stage of filling the recycled material into the standard package, transportation, and storage, and stores them in the carbon data report of the servo system.

[0007] In the metal recycling and reclamation production tracking system with carbon disclosure of the present invention, when each of the standard packages is filled with the predetermined quantity of the recycled material, a standard current value is recorded in the carbon data report.

[0008] In the metal recycling and regeneration production history system with carbon disclosure of the present invention, a detection device obtains the physical or chemical quantity detection results of the recycled material to determine the purity level of the recycled material and perform level compensation.

[0009] In the metal recycling and remanufacturing production history system with carbon disclosure of the present invention, the recycled materials in the standard packaging are taken out, and a plurality of remanufactured products are produced through a remanufacturing process, and the carbon emission data of the remanufacturing process is recorded in the carbon data report, and recorded equally for each of the remanufactured products, and a corresponding production history is generated.

[Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] 1 is a system flow chart of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] In order to clarify the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, but the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make all other embodiments without any creative effort, and all other embodiments fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0015] The invention will now be described in more detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Referring to FIG. 1, a carbon-disclosed metal recycling and remanufacturing production tracking system includes a servo system 10, multiple application programs 20, detection devices 30, a warehouse management system 40, an image capture device 50, a barcode recognition device 60, and multiple standard packages 70. Each application program 20 is connected to the servo system 10 and transmits signals to the servo system 10 to complete signal communication and control operations with the servo system 10. Each detection device 30 is connected to the servo system 10 and outputs detection results to the servo system 10, which then records the detection results. The detection results include, but are not limited to, physical or chemical quantities such as weight, material, purity, density, metal phase, composition, elements, and lattice structure. In other words, the detection devices 30 may be a scale, an elemental analyzer, an optical image monitoring device, an X-ray diffraction device, an EDS elemental analyzer, etc.

[0016] The warehouse management system 40 is connected to the servo system 10 by signals and includes a warehouse space for storing, inputting, outputting, controlling, and managing the total amount of goods. The goods may include different types, units, volumes, etc., and are packed into multiple standard packages 70. The warehouse management system 40 simultaneously records the warehouse greenhouse gas emissions process in the warehouse process within each standard package 70. The warehouse greenhouse gas emissions can be related to direct greenhouse gas emissions, input energy (air conditioning, lighting, robot transmission, monitoring management), transportation (forklifts, cranes, public vehicles, trucks, tanker trucks), and other sources. For example, greenhouse gases generated during the operation of the warehouse management system 40 are amortized into the warehouse greenhouse gas emission history of each standard package 70. The server system 10 obtains content information of each standard package 70 and the warehouse greenhouse gas emission history from the warehouse management system 40.

[0017] The plurality of image capture devices 50 and the barcode recognition device 60 continuously record the entire process of the standard package 70 from its origin to its end, such as the production, transportation, storage, remanufacturing, etc. of the standard package 70 in external factories, transport trucks, the warehouse space, recycling factories, etc. The plurality of image capture devices 50 and the barcode recognition device 60 are signal-connected to the servo system 10, respectively, to acquire digital audio and video information, identify the label on each standard package 70, generate a recognition result, and output the recognition result to the servo system 10, and the digital audio and video information includes, but is not limited to, audio, video, and photographs.

[0018] Preferably, during the filling, production, use and delivery processes of the standard package 70, the digital audio and video information and the recognition results of the image capture device 50 and the barcode recognition device 60 are output to the servo system 10 via the application program 20. Here, the application program 20 can be installed on any mobile device A. For example, a driver in a transportation process operates the image capture device 50 and the barcode recognition device 60 built into the mobile device A to obtain the digital audio and video information and the recognition results, respectively, and then corresponds the recognition results to the carbon data report of the standard package 70 via the application program 20 and updates the servo system 10.

[0019] [Embodiment] Recycling of aluminum chips A processing machine in a CNC processing factory is equipped with one or more image capture devices 50 and barcode recognition devices 60, and uses standard packages 70 to fill aluminum chips of a fixed weight and material (e.g., aluminum alloys such as 7075 and 6061, each pack weighing 10 kg). The standard packages 70 include digital tags, such as RFID or QRCODE®. After scanning the barcode, the barcode recognition device 60 transmits the digital audio and video information recorded by the image capture device 50 back to the server system 10, updating the factory recycling information for the aluminum chips in the standard packages 70 in the servo system 10 and corresponding it to the carbon data report for the standard packages 70. In this way, the carbon data report for each standard package 70 begins with filling the standard packages 70 with recycled materials, and the data collection and recording process is continuously monitored using digital audio and video information to ensure data accuracy and reduce disputes.

[0020] An aluminum supplier purchases the standard package 70 from the CNC processing factory at the standard market price, and the purchase price is recorded in the carbon data report corresponding to the standard package 70 in the servo system 10. The aluminum supplier then allocates cargo equipment to transport and store the standard package 70 in the aluminum supplier's warehouse management system 40. During this process, the type of cargo equipment, mileage, fuel consumption, etc. are recorded, and the label on the standard package 70 is scanned, and the data output is recorded in the carbon data report corresponding to the standard package 70.

[0021] Accordingly, when the standard package 70 is stored in the warehouse management system 40, the carbon data is updated in the carbon data report through image and code scanning. Since the receipt and space of the standard package 70 are fixed, the carbon emissions of the equipment used in the transportation process can be converted and recorded in the carbon report, and the access time and occupied space of the warehouse space are also fixed and estimable values. In this way, the carbon emissions consumed in the processes of producing, recycling, transporting, and storing the aluminum chips in the standard package 70 can all be authenticated and effectively recorded in the carbon data report. The carbon data report can also be continuously updated and recorded to record the carbon emission history of the standard package 70 through a combination of image recording and code scanning recognition.

[0022] The aluminum supplier retrieves the standard package 70 from the warehouse management system 40, detects and determines the purity and composition of the material, and then certifies the purity level of the aluminum chips in the standard package 70 and records it in the carbon emission history.

[0023] Furthermore, after the aluminum supplier completes the purity level evaluation, it can refer to the standard price purchased at that time to generate a compensation level corresponding to the purity level of the aluminum chips and provide the compensation to the CNC factory.

[0024] The aluminum supplier takes a plurality of aluminum chips from the standard package 70 and performs a recycling process to remove impurities from the aluminum scrap, add necessary elements, and then melt, decompose, mix, and melt them to refine them into an aluminum alloy soup, which is then re-solidified to form an aluminum ingot. Carbon emissions generated directly or indirectly by the equipment and environment used in the recycling process are all recorded as an equal portion of the carbon emissions used, and carbon data for the aluminum ingot is generated and recorded in the servo system 10. In this way, the carbon data and manufacturing history of the aluminum ingots produced by recycling each aluminum chip can be effectively and systematically recorded in the servo system 10.

[0025] Furthermore, using another standard package 70 and the above-mentioned records, code scanning, etc., the emissions of the aluminum ingot during the sales process to the buyer can be continuously recorded and recorded in the carbon data report of the standard package 70 of the aluminum ingot. The records of the above process are clear, and each step of the process is fairly and effectively inventoried and recorded, so that the corresponding carbon certificate can be directly generated by the product aluminum ingot upon final shipment.

[0026] As can be seen from the above description, the present invention simultaneously discloses a metal recycling and remanufacturing production history system with carbon disclosure, which includes a servo system 10, a warehouse management system 40 connected to the servo system 10 in signal transmission, a barcode recognition device 60, and a plurality of standard packages 70, each of which includes a label, and each of which is filled with a predetermined amount of recycled material. Each of the standard packages 70 containing the recycled material is transported to the warehouse management system 40 for storage, and the barcode recognition device 60 scans the barcode of each of the standard packages 70 to obtain an access node for the servo system 10. The carbon emissions at each stage of the process of filling, transporting, storing, and storing the standard packages 70 of the recycled material are stored in a carbon data report of the servo system 10.

[0027] Here, when each of the standard packages 70 is filled with the predetermined quantity of the recycled material, a standard value is recorded in the carbon data report.

[0028] The metal recycling and regeneration production history system with carbon disclosure of the present invention uses a detection device 30 to obtain the physical or chemical quantity detection results of the recycled material, determine the purity level of the recycled material, and perform level compensation.

[0029] The metal recycling and remanufacturing production history system with carbon disclosure of the present invention takes the recycled material in the standard package 70, produces multiple recycled products through a remanufacturing process, records the carbon emission data of the remanufacturing process in the carbon data report, and records it equally for each of the recycled products to generate a corresponding production history.

[0030] Here, the label is a radio frequency identification tag.

[0031] From the above description, it can be seen that the present invention has the following advantages. 1. Completely record the carbon footprint generated by waste recycling processes, systematically generate fair and open records, adhere to the spirit of ISO, contribute to the fairness and credibility of carbon certificates generated in the future, and completely resolve the problems of previous technologies. 2. In the remanufacturing process of recycled materials, by making good use of monitoring and standard packaging, it is possible to efficiently produce recycled products while providing production history and carbon emission records, achieving the unexpected effect of intelligent carbon inventory and record tracking.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of the rights claimed by the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. All other equivalent changes or modifications that do not depart from the spirit disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
