FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for delivering management in accordance with this disclosure. As shown in the figure, the method includes the following steps S11 to S16.

In S11, monitoring a delivering information received by a manufacturing execution device according to a preset period.

Specifically, the manufacturing execution device receives the delivering information, for example, collecting, integrating, and applying various production information of a factory site. The system monitors the delivering information according to a preset time period to obtain the current delivering information. In specific, the time period can be set freely, such as monitoring the delivering information every 1 minute.

Further, the preset period may also be a space period, for example, a certain space period can be defined as from a delivering device reaches a preset position to reach the same preset location again. That is, in this embodiment, when the delivering device reaches the preset position each time, the delivering information received by the manufacturing execution device is monitored. This prevents the device from performing unnecessary repeated monitoring actions.

In S12, determining whether the delivering information of the manufacturing execution device is updated.

Specifically, the system determines whether the delivering information of the manufacturing execution device is updated. That is, the delivering information is monitored by the monitoring device as described above, and it is determined whether the current monitoring result is the same as the previous monitoring result.

In S13, if yes, sending an updated delivering information to a material controlling device.

Specifically, if it is detected that the delivering information of the manufacturing execution device is updated. That is, the current monitoring result is found to be different from the previous monitoring result, the updated delivering information (currently monitored delivering information) is sent to the material control device.

In S14, determining whether the product to be delivered reaches a full batch.

Specifically, before delivering the products, the delivering information received by the manufacturing execution device is used to confirm which products belong to the same batch, and whether the batch of products is full or not is judged and recognized.

In S15, performing priority marking according to whether the product reaches a full batch.

Specifically, if it is recognized that the same batch of products is full, the products of the batch are prioritized and marked as preferentially transported.

In S16, performing delivering work according to the marked priority.

Specifically, during transportation, the delivering work is performed according to the marked priority. If the product is already full, the full batch of products is marked priority and preferentially delivered. By judging whether the product batch to be delivered is full or not, and priority delivering the full batch of products with priority marking, which can maintain the time of the machine's run status, and avoiding the idling time becomes longer and the number of delivering times increases of the machine caused by the delivering of unfilled batches of products, thereby improving the working efficiency of the machine and saving costs.

Further, if multiple groups of products reach the full batch at the same time, obtaining a single group time duration required for each group of products to be delivered; and the operation of marking priority to the delivering information according to the identified feature content is performed as marking the product corresponding to the single group time duration.

Specifically, it is not possible to deliver the product at the time when the product is ready for delivering. If there are multiple sets of products reaching the full batch during the period from the products to be transported reaches full batch to the machine performs delivering. The time required to delivering completely of the products will be judged. The priority of the full batch of products to be delivered is marked. The shorter the time required to deliver, the higher the priority. For example, there are three groups of products A, B and C are reaches full batch at the same time, and waiting for delivering. And the delivering time of the three groups of products is k, m, n (where k>m>n) corresponding to A, B and C respectively. Thus C group products with the delivering time n are marked with priority, that is, the C group products are preferentially transported. So that the waiting time for the next group of products can be reduced, and the efficiency of entrance into subsequent processes is improved.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for delivering management in accordance with this disclosure. As shown in the figure, the method includes the following steps S21 to S27.

In S21, monitoring a delivering information received by a manufacturing execution device according to a preset period.

In S22, determining whether the delivering information of the manufacturing execution device is updated.

In S23, if yes, sending an updated delivering information to a material controlling device.

In S24, counting a first remaining time from a next technological process for the product to be delivered.

Specifically, the first remaining time is an intermittent time (Q-time) between the end of one process step and the beginning of the next process step, where the specific intermittent time of each group of products is counted.

In S25, identifying an arrangement order of the each first remaining time.

Specifically, after identifying the specific first remaining time (the remaining time of Q-time), the first remaining time is arranged according to the specific first remaining time.

In S26, marking priority according to the arrangement order of the each first remaining time.

Specifically, the products to be delivered are marked according to the order of the specific time of the first remaining time, and the less first remaining time has higher marking priority.

In S27, performing delivering work according to the marked priority.

Specifically, during the transportation, the delivering operation is performed according to the marked priority. The products with less first remaining time is marked as priority delivering. In actual transportation, priority marked product is preferentially transported, prior to other products with more first remaining time. By judging the length of the first remaining time of the product to be delivered (that is, the remaining time of Q-time), the products with the shorter Q-time are priority delivered. So that it is possible to avoid carrying products with sufficient Q-time time though make some products exceeding the Q-time, and the products that exceed Q-time need to go back to rework. Thus avoiding an increase in manufacturing costs and improving delivering efficiency.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a method for delivering management in accordance with this disclosure. As shown in the figure, the method includes the following steps S31 to S38.

In S31, monitoring a delivering information received by a manufacturing execution device according to a preset period.

S32, determining whether the delivering information of the manufacturing execution device is updated.

In S33, if yes, sending an updated delivering information to a material controlling device.

In S34, obtaining a distance sequence of the products to be delivered from initial parking location of machines.

Specifically, the distance between each product to be delivered and the initial parking location of the machines is monitored, and the order is arranged according to the each distance.

In S35, acquiring a second remaining time of a current operation of each machine.

Specifically, a second remaining time is the remaining time from the end of the current operation of the machine, and remaining time from the end of the current operation of each machine is collectively classified.

In S36, identifying a sequence of the second remaining time.

Specifically, the remaining time of the current operation of each machine is arranged according to the length of time.

In S37, performing priority marking according to the products to be delivered corresponding to the distance sequence, and according to the machines that corresponding to the sequence.

Specifically, the products corresponding to the distance sequence are marked according to the remaining time sequence of the current machine operation, and the specific sequence is that the remaining time from the end of the operation is from short to long corresponding to the product from the near to far distance from the machine.

In S38, performing delivering work according to the marked priority.

Specifically, during transportation, the delivering operation is performed according to the marked priority, that is, the shortest current remaining operation time of the machine is marked corresponding to the closest distance to initial parking location of the machine, and the machine that firstly reaches the standby(idle) delivers the product closest to the initial parking location of the machine. By judging the time of the machine from the idle, and marking the product to be transported that is closest to the initial parking location correspondingly, the time of the machine's running status can be maintained. The condition that one machine is delivering with waiting products, and another machine is idle is avoided, which improves the working efficiency of the machine.
