The present disclosure relates to the field of automated material processing technology, and more particularly relates to a method and a system for transporting order.
In an exemplary technology, when a manufacturing execution system (MES) gives a product-delivering instruction to a material control system (MCS), orders are made according to the demand signal sent by the machines. MES cannot make good decision when the important machines and the non-important machines simultaneously demand the product, resulting in loss of capacity. It is especially obvious when the production is close to full load or the product is in short supply but in great demand. At this time, it can only be handled by personnel, but it cannot be handled best because of the difference in experience and judgment of the personnel.
The present disclosure provides a method for transporting order, which can avoid an idling state (Idle) of an important machine and improve production efficiency.
In one aspect, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for transporting order includes the following operations: marking an ordering priority level of the working machine previously; identifying a priority ordering machine when a plurality of working machines issue orders at the same time; determining whether a transporting characteristic information of the priority ordering machine meets the preset condition for triggering a priority order; and if yes, priority ordering the priority ordering machine.
On the other hand, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for transporting order includes the following operations: marking an ordering priority level of the working machine previously; identifying a priority ordering machine when a plurality of working machines issue orders at the same time; acquiring a remaining time of the priority ordering machine from being idleness; acquiring a time duration required for transporting a product to the priority ordering machine; determining whether the remaining time from being idleness of the machine exceeds the time duration required for the transporting; in the case that the remaining time from being idleness of the machine is less than the time duration required for transporting, and there is no product waiting for ordering, determining whether there is an ordered product already in transportation; if yes, identifying the priority level of the machine that corresponding to the product in transportation; reassigning the product in transportation corresponding to the machine with the lowest priority; and transporting the reassigned product to the priority ordering machine.
In another aspect, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system for transporting order, the system includes: a marking module, being configured to mark an ordering priority level of the working machine previously; a first identifying module, being configured to identify a priority ordering machine when a plurality of working machines issue orders at the same time; a first determining module, being configured to determine whether a transporting characteristic information of the priority ordering machine meets the preset condition for triggering a priority order; and a first implementing module, being configured to priority ordering the priority ordering machine, if yes, implementing module.
The method and system for transporting order in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, by marking an ordering priority level of the working machine previously, identifying a priority ordering machine when several working machines issue orders at the same time, determining whether a transporting characteristic information of the priority ordering machine meets the preset condition for triggering a priority order, and if yes, priority ordering the priority ordering machine, the important machine is always in the working state. This disclosure solves the technical problem in the prior art that the Idle phenomenon occurs on the important machine, to avoid the loss of capacity caused by the ordering problem, and thereby improving production efficiency.

As illustrated in
In S11, marking an ordering priority level of the working machine previously.
Specifically, before the system starts to operate, the priority level is made on each machine that participates in the work, that is, to determine certain machines as the priority ordering machine, and to carry out the ordering operation on the priority ordering machine when the ordering instruction is given at the same time.
In S12, identifying a priority ordering machine when a plurality of working machines issue orders at the same time.
Specifically, when multiple working machines issue an ordering instruction at the same time, the priority of each working machine is identified and the working machine marked as the highest priority is identified.
In S13, acquiring a remaining time of the priority ordering machine from being idleness.
Specifically, when the machine with the highest priority is identified, the remaining time period for the priority ordering machine with the highest priority from being idleness is obtained, that is, the time period required for the machine with the highest priority to complete the product currently processing on the machine.
In S14, acquiring a time duration required for transporting a product to the priority ordering machine.
Specifically, after the machine with the highest priority order is identified, the time required for delivering the product to the highest priority ordering machine is obtained. That is, after receiving the order, the time required for the handling equipment to carry the product to the highest priority ordering machine.
In S15, determining whether the remaining time from being idleness of the machine exceeds the time duration required for the transporting.
Specifically, it is determined whether the remaining time period from being idleness of the machine exceeds the time period required for transporting. That is, it is judged whether the time period required for the machine with the highest priority to complete the product currently processing on the machine is longer than the time period required for handling the product to the highest priority order machine.
In S16, if not, performing the priority ordering to the priority ordering machine.
Specifically, if the remaining time period from being idleness of the machine is no more than the time period required for transporting a product to the priority ordering machine, the highest priority ordering machine is preferentially processing order. Once the product is ready to be transported by the delivering equipment, whether or not the order from other machines is received, the order of the highest priority ordering machine is taken as the first instruction, and the delivering equipment carries the product to the highest priority machine preferentially.
Specifically, by presetting the priority of the work machine, the order instructions of the important work machine can be preferentially adopted, making the important work machine be in the working state to the greatest extent, avoid the phenomenon of the important machine being idleness, preventing the loss of capacity caused by the order problem, and improve the production efficiency.

In S26, in the case that the remaining time from being idleness of the machine is less than the time duration required for transporting, and there is no product waiting for ordering, determining whether there is an ordered product already in transportation.
Specifically, when the remaining time period from being idleness of the machine is less than the time period required for transporting, but there is idle product waiting for being transported at the ordering station, it is judged whether or not the product is being transportation on the way. Because after each work machine issues an order, it takes one transportation time to handle the order, though some products have not been delivered.
In S27, if yes, identifying the priority level of the machine that corresponding to the product in transportation.
Specifically, if there are products that are still in transit, the machines that are to be delivered corresponding to the products are distinguished, and the priorities of the working machines are identified. That is, identifying the initial setting priority order of these working machines.
