Solution Overview

Problem

The existing code scanning-based verification method for material feeding in manufacturing is inadequate as it fails to ensure unique verification information for each material, leading to difficulties in tracing material quality issues and potential errors in production.

Innovation Solution

A material feeding control method that compares the verification information of the material being fed with historical feeds, generating alarms or stopping operations if duplicate information is detected, ensuring each material has unique verification, and automatically monitoring the feeding process to prevent errors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If code scanning-based verification method is used for material feeding, then the feeding process is simplified and operated quickly, but the ability to trace material quality issues is lost and duplicate materials may be fed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematerial feeding speedVSAvoidmaterial quality traceability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification by scanning and recording the verification code of each material before feeding, storing it in a database. This preliminary action ensures that when a quality issue arises, the material can be traced back through its verification code, while still allowing quick feeding operations to proceed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the verification code of each fed material is recorded and stored in a database. This feedback loop enables traceability of material quality issues while maintaining efficient feeding operations, as the system automatically tracks each material's verification information without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If operators use the same check code to feed multiple identical materials for convenience, then the feeding operation is faster, but material quality traceability becomes impossible and production errors occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeeding operation convenienceVSAvoidmaterial feeding accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-verification by automatically scanning, verifying, and recording the verification code of each material. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for operators to manually track or differentiate materials, maintaining ease of operation while ensuring each material is uniquely identified and recorded for accurate tracking and quality control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Device complexity

If only verification code comparison is performed without historical feed tracking, then the verification process is simple and fast, but duplicate materials cannot be detected and quality control is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification system complexityVSAvoidmaterial feeding reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary recording of each material's verification code in a database before feeding occurs. This preliminary action adds minimal complexity to the verification process while enabling the system to detect duplicate materials and maintain quality control, as the database automatically tracks all fed materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a digital copy (record) of each material's verification code and stores it in a database. This copying mechanism allows the system to track and compare verification codes without physically handling or marking the materials, maintaining simplicity while enabling reliable duplicate detection and quality control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

This application discloses a material feeding control method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium. The method includes: obtaining verification information of the material being fed; and under a condition that the verification information of the material being fed is determined to be identical to verification information of historical feeds, generating a first abnormal operation signal, where the first abnormal operation signal includes a first alarm signal and/or a signal for controlling a device end to stop an operation; or under a condition that the verification information of the material being fed is determined to be different from the verification information of the historical feeds, generating an operation signal, where the operation signal includes a signal for controlling the device end to initiate a suction operation.
