Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a metal recycling system, and more particularly to an application program for metal recycling and reclaimed production history recording 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] This paper provides an application program for recording the production history of metal recycling and regeneration with carbon disclosure, which solves the technical problem that in traditional 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]
[0005] The present invention provides an application program for recording a metal recycling and recycling production history with carbon disclosure, which is implemented in an apparatus and performs a method for recording a metal recycling and recycling production history with carbon disclosure, the apparatus being in signal communication connection with a servo system. The method for recording a metal recycling and recycling production history with carbon disclosure includes the steps of: displaying a user interface, accepting input of required carbon disclosure data, launching a recycling program in the servo system, generating one or more corresponding labels and access nodes corresponding to each of the labels; reading each label by barcode recognition or image recognition, and obtaining access rights for each access node of the plurality of labels by the servo system; receiving or obtaining voice or detection data, sending it to the servo system, and recording it in the corresponding access node; obtaining the access node by the servo system, and obtaining at least a material comparison result, raw material production history, level compensation, real-time carbon data, or carbon certificate by the user interface.
[0006] In the application program for the metal cycle and recycling production history record with carbon disclosure, the device includes a mobile phone, a tablet device, a personal computer, or a wristwatch.
[0007] In the application program of the metal cycle and regeneration production history record with carbon disclosure, the device is connected to a physical or chemical parameter detection device or an audio acquisition device in a wired manner to acquire carbon disclosure-related parameters.
[0008] In the application program of the metal cycle and regeneration production history record with carbon disclosure, the device is wirelessly connected to a physical or chemical parameter detection device and / or an audio acquisition device to acquire carbon disclosure-related parameters.
[0009] In the application program for recording the metal cycle and recycling production history with carbon disclosure, after identity authentication, the corresponding access node authorization and input waiting information items are generated. [Effects of the Invention]

[Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0011] [Figure 1] 1 is a system flow chart of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] 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.
[0013] The invention will now be described in more detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Referring to FIG. 1, the application program for recording carbon-disclosed metal recycling and reclaimed production history includes a servo system 10, multiple application programs 20, a detection device 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 may 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 device 30 may be a scale, an elemental analyzer, an optical image monitoring device, an X-ray diffraction device, an EDS elemental analyzer, etc.
[0014] The warehouse management system 40 is signal-connected to the servo system 10 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 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, during operation of the warehouse management system 40, each standard package 70 is amortized into its own warehouse greenhouse gas emission history. The server system 10 obtains content information for each standard package 70 and the warehouse greenhouse gas emission history from the warehouse management system 40.
[0015] 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.
[0016] 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.
[0017] [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 QR CODE. 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 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.
[0018] 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.
[0019] 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.
[0020] 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.
[0021] Furthermore, after the aluminum dealer completes the purity level evaluation, they can use the standard price purchased at that time as a reference to generate compensation at a level corresponding to the purity level of the aluminum chips, and return the compensation to the CNC factory.
[0022] 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, mix, melt, and refine them into an aluminum alloy soup, which is then re-solidified to form an aluminum ingot. Carbon emissions generated directly or indirectly due to 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.
[0023] 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.
[0024] As can be seen from the above description, the present invention discloses an application program for metal recycling and regeneration production history recording with carbon disclosure, the process of which is as follows: providing one or more standard packages 70 including labels; Filling the recycled material into the standard package 70 and simultaneously scanning the label to obtain an access node for a carbon data report, and recording the detection results of the physical or chemical quantity of the recycled material, the filling real-time image, the carbon footprint history and factory recycling information in the access node, wherein the access node is provided by the servo system 10, and the carbon footprint history includes, but is not limited to, carbon emissions generated directly or indirectly by personnel, transportation means, etc.; Recording the standard price of the standard package 70, storing the standard package 70 in a storage space after transportation, and simultaneously scanning the label to acquire the access node, recording the time spent in the storage space and the carbon emissions generated directly or indirectly, and then storing them in the carbon data report; detecting and determining the recycled material in the standard package 70, generating a purity level for the recycled material, and recording it in the carbon data report of the access node; taking a plurality of the recycled materials of the standard package 70 of the same physical or chemical amount, modifying and blending them through a reprocessing process, and simultaneously scanning them to reproduce them, and recording the carbon emissions of the reprocessing process in the carbon data report; Recording all carbon emissions from the carbon data report evenly to the recycled products produced in the reprocessing process, and generating a product carbon emission record, production history, and carbon certificate for the recycled products; Includes:
[0025] The application program 20 for causing the mobile device A to execute the method for recording a carbon-disclosure-based metal recycling and recycling production history is further described. The mobile device A may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet device, a personal computer, a wristwatch, etc. Preferably, the mobile device A is capable of connecting to a network, having audio and video capture functions, connecting to multiple detection devices, or transmitting data, and is capable of acquiring necessary data in real time and outputting it to the servo system 10, thereby assisting the servo system 10 in completing the carbon content calculation for the metal recycling and recycling production history. Here, the mobile device A performs recycling, remanufacturing, carbon emission calculation, etc. for users with different roles. For example, a transporter can continuously monitor the loading and unloading of waste, record fuel consumption, mileage, and route through the handheld mobile device A. An aluminum ingot manufacturer can also use the mobile device A on-site to record material analysis, direct and indirect emissions from production line equipment, personnel, ambient lighting, and other emissions. The mobile devices A used in different roles can return monitored data to the servo system 10, and the mobile devices A in different roles can instantly obtain reliable carbon emission data for different parts, thereby calculating and organizing data disclosure for the upstream and downstream supply chains.
[0026] The method for calculating carbon emissions from metal recycling in this embodiment may include the following steps. S1. Accepting input of waste recycling application: A user interface is provided, and the user obtains the necessary information through the user interface, such as the carbon disclosure required data regarding the quantity of recycled waste, manufacturer, address, type of material, personnel, transportation vehicle, etc., and then starts a collection program, which is returned to the servo system 10, allowing the servo system 10 to start / generate an access node (or database) corresponding to the label.
[0027] S2. Label Acquisition: The servo system 10 acquires the label and the standard package 70 with the label, and completes the filling of the recycled material while simultaneously inputting information related to the recycled material, such as known chemical or physical parameters, such as material, weight, density, etc. The acquired label in this step is provided throughout the recycling process, and users at each stage use the same label to identify and read the information recorded on the standard package 70, and continuously update records within the process (e.g., energy consumption in the transportation process, warehouse energy consumption, human resources, etc.).
[0028] S3. Barcode Recognition: Users at different stages use the application program 20 and corresponding connected hardware devices, such as cameras, barcode scanners, etc., to recognize the barcode in the barcode recognition device 60 or image, thereby completing the reading and updating of the information of the standard package 70 / recycling material corresponding to the barcode.
[0029] S4. Recording the waste recycling process: The mobile device A connects to or uses various detection devices that can record images, audio, and weight, and continuously records data on carbon consumption processed by different users, including multiple histories of different sites. The images and audio in this process may be captured by the camera and audio pickup module directly included in the mobile device A. The weight detection device can automatically receive measurement result data from the weight detection device or manually input the weight detection data. Preferably, the mobile device A in this embodiment can connect to various external detection devices and receive various test results, such as weight, metal structure, composition analysis, and purity, via wired or wireless connection.
[0030] EX transportation: By using the mobile device A itself, scan the label on the standard package A with a camera, record the loading and unloading of the truck, estimate the total weight of the truck, calculate the carbon consumption of the truck due to carrying different weights, and keep recording the route and time via the mobile device A to record the fuel consumption. In this way, the carbon consumption between site A and site B of the truck transportation is completed, and the carbon footprint of the recycled materials can be fully recorded.
[0031] EX Warehouse: When entering the warehouse, the barcodes are scanned one by one when unloading from the truck using mobile device A to estimate the warehouse dwell time of each of the standard packages 70. In this way, carbon consumption data is recorded in a database file corresponding to the label.
[0032] EX detection: The mobile device A is used to obtain the standard package 70 through the label, and the detection of the contents in the standard package 70 is completed, and the chemical or physical parameters of the contents are recorded. The chemical or physical parameters in this process can preferably be obtained by receiving the results of the detection device via wired or wireless communication in the same manner as above.
[0033] Furthermore, to avoid access confusion during the recycling process and users accidentally editing the access node or database corresponding to each label, each standard package 70 starts from the beginning of recycling and opens up editing and data creation rights at different stages and levels of the access node corresponding to the label to users involved in the recycling process (e.g., waste generators, transport vehicles and drivers, warehouse storage space and processing personnel, and equipment and personnel at each processing stage). For example, a transporter can operate the user interface to view the label number of the standard package 70 they want to process today and confirm the accuracy of the contents being transported, and users at each stage can receive information about the disclosure and recording of their own data in the access node corresponding to each label and data that needs to be entered or uploaded. In this way, the carbon consumption generated during the recycling process of each standard package 70 can be improved and recorded in order, and incorrect recording can be avoided. In other words, after the user at each stage has undergone identity authentication (e.g., an account and password with different authorizations), he / she can use the application program 20 to launch and input his / her own access node corresponding to the standard package 70, completely input and record the recycling process and related data, and have the servo system 10 record the entire process.
[0034] EX processing: In the processing process, each process such as melting and casting can be used, and the process time, energy consumption, manpower, etc. can be recorded. Here, the processing process can use the raw materials of multiple standard packages 70 to participate in remanufacturing, so multiple standard packages 70 and corresponding labels can be introduced and begin to participate in the processing process together. After that, the servo system 10 generates a new label and a corresponding database, records carbon consumption data-related parameters during the new remanufacturing process, and records them in the new label and database.
[0035] S5. Display data: The user at different stages can read the barcode to view the received material comparison results, raw material production history, level compensation, real-time carbon data, and carbon certificate.
[0036] 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.
[0037] 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.
