The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the present invention provides an embodiment of a material management apparatus 1. The material management apparatus 1 includes a plurality of accommodating units 11, a display unit 12, an input unit 13, a storage unit 14 (shown in fig. 2), and a processing unit 15 (shown in fig. 2) electrically connected to the accommodating units 11, the display unit 12, the input unit 13, and the storage unit 14.
In the present embodiment, the accommodating units 11 are respectively implemented as a plurality of material boxes adapted to accommodate a plurality of different materials, and as shown in fig. 1, the number of the accommodating units 11 in the present embodiment may be, for example, ten, but is not limited thereto.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, more specifically, each accommodating unit 11 includes a main body 111, a movable cover 112, and a light emitting element set 113 disposed on the main body 111. The body 111 defines a receiving space 114 for receiving a material. The cover 112 in this embodiment can be driven by a cylinder (not shown), for example, and can move along a rear direction d shown in fig. 3, so that the accommodating unit 11 can be switched between a closed state shown in fig. 3 and an open state shown in fig. 4.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, when the accommodating unit 11 is in the closed state, the cover 112 closes the accommodating space 114, so that a user cannot take the material in the accommodating space 114 from the outside. On the other hand, as shown in fig. 4, when the accommodating unit 11 is in the open state, the cover 112 opens the accommodating space 114, so that the user can take the material in the accommodating space 114 from the outside. It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the cover 112 may be driven by a motor or other power mechanism, for example, and each accommodating unit 11 may be implemented in a manner that has an accommodating space 114 for accommodating materials, and the shape or structure of the embodiment is not limited.
In the embodiment, the light emitting element group 113 has, for example, three light emitting elements 115 with different colors (e.g., green, yellow, and red), and the light emitting elements 115 can be used to indicate the current working status (e.g., normal, failure, idle, etc.) of the accommodating unit 11, but not limited thereto.
In addition, referring to fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the display unit 12 can be implemented as a display screen, the input unit 13 can be implemented as a keyboard, a plurality of buttons, or a combination thereof, the storage unit 14 can be implemented as a hard disk assembly or other types of data storage, and the processing unit 15 can be implemented as a central processing unit, but not limited thereto.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 5, the operation method of the material management apparatus 1 according to the embodiment is described in detail below.
First, in step S1, the processing unit 15 stores a stock bill to the storage unit 14 when receiving the stock bill. In the embodiment, the inventory list includes a plurality of inventory data respectively corresponding to the accommodating units 11, and each inventory data is, for example, related to the corresponding material (e.g., an electrical connector of a specific specification) accommodated by the accommodating unit 11. More specifically, in the embodiment, each stock material data includes a stock material identifier, a stock quantity corresponding to the stock material identifier, and an alert quantity corresponding to the stock quantity, each stock quantity indicates a total quantity of the materials currently contained in the corresponding containing unit 11, and each alert quantity is, for example, a threshold value for defining whether the corresponding containing unit 11 is in a low stock state, and can be freely set by a user according to the type of the materials contained in the containing unit 11.
For convenience of understanding, the inventory list of the present embodiment is exemplarily shown in table 1 below, and since the number of the accommodating units 11 in the present embodiment is ten as an example, the number of the inventory data of the inventory list is ten as an example, but not limited thereto.
[ TABLE 1 ]
Figure BDA0002239383640000081
As an example of the inventory material data M1 in table 1, the material represented by the required material identification code "a 001" may be, for example, an electrical connector, the inventory quantity "30" represents that the accommodating unit 11 corresponding to the inventory material data M1 currently accommodates 30 electrical connectors, and the alert quantity "3" represents that the processing unit 15 sends out a corresponding notification to remind the user to replenish the electrical connectors when the inventory quantity of the electrical connectors is reduced to 3, for example.
As another example, in the inventory material data M2 in table 1 above, the material represented by the required material identification code "a 002" may be, for example, a diode, the inventory quantity "100" represents that the accommodating unit 11 corresponding to the inventory material data M2 currently accommodates 100 of the diodes, and the alert quantity "10" represents that the processing unit 15 sends out a corresponding notification to remind the user to replenish the diodes when the inventory quantity of the diodes decreases to 10.
After the processing unit 15 stores the inventory into the storage unit 14, the process proceeds to step S2.
In step S2, the processing unit 15 stores a product bill of materials and graphical prompt data corresponding to the product bill of materials in the storage unit 14 when receiving the product bill of materials and the graphical prompt data.
In this embodiment, the product bill of materials indicates, for example, materials required by a product (e.g., a circuit board) during an assembly or manufacturing process, and includes a plurality of sequential required material data. Specifically, each demand material data includes a demand material identification code and a demand quantity corresponding to the demand material identification code.
For convenience of understanding, the product bill of materials of this embodiment is exemplarily presented in table 2 below, and the number of the required material data is three, but not limited thereto.
[ TABLE 2 ]
Figure BDA0002239383640000091
As an example of the material-required data N1 in table 2, the material represented by the material-required identification code "a 001" is, for example, the electrical connector, and the required quantity "1" represents that 1 electrical connector is needed in total when assembling the product (in this embodiment, the circuit board) indicated by the product bill of materials.
As another example, the material represented by the material id "a 002" is the aforementioned diode, and the required number "5" represents that 5 diodes are needed in total when assembling the circuit board, as shown in the required material data N2 in table 2.
In the present embodiment, the graphical prompt data includes a plurality of prompt images m (one is exemplarily shown in fig. 6), and each prompt image m corresponds to one of the demand material data. More specifically, each of the prompt images m indicates an appearance of the product (in this embodiment, a circuit board) and a setting position of the product corresponding to the material-requiring data, but not limited thereto.
For example, in the above table 2, if the required quantity of the required material data N1 is "1", one of the prompt images m of the graphical prompt data corresponds to the required material data N1, and as shown in fig. 6, the prompt image m corresponding to the required material data N1 not only indicates the appearance of the circuit board (refer to the position marked with "× 1" in fig. 6), but also further indicates the installation position of the electrical connector on the circuit board through a prompt box f (refer to the position marked with "× 2" in fig. 6).
For another example, in the above table 2, if the required quantity of the required material data N2 is "5", five of the prompt images m of the graphical prompt data correspond to the required material data N1, and the five prompt images m corresponding to the required material data N2 not only all indicate the appearance of the circuit board, but also respectively indicate the arrangement positions of five diodes on the circuit board through another five prompt boxes similar to the prompt boxes shown in fig. 5.
It should be noted that the inventory, the product inventory and the graphical prompt data can be input by the user through the input unit 13, or can be input by the user from other remote computer devices through a communication network. Also, in step S2 of the practical embodiment, the processing unit 15 may, for example, receive a plurality of product bills of materials and a plurality of corresponding graphical prompt data, and the product bills of materials may, for example, be respectively associated with a plurality of different products and each contain a plurality of different pieces of required material data from other product bills of materials.
After the processing unit 15 stores the product bill of materials and the graphical prompt data in the storage unit 14, the process proceeds to step S3.
In step S3, when the processing unit 15 receives a start command indicating the product bill of materials, the processing unit 15 determines a plurality of target inventory data respectively corresponding to the required material data from the inventory data of the inventory bill of materials according to the required material data of the product bill of materials. For convenience of subsequent descriptions, a plurality of the accommodating units 11 respectively corresponding to the target inventory material data are taken as a plurality of target accommodating units 11 respectively corresponding to the required material data in this embodiment.
Specifically, in the embodiment, the start command may be generated by the input unit 13 according to a user operation, and the processing unit 15 determines the target stoke data from the stoke data by determining whether the stoke identifier of each stoke data matches the requirement material identifier of one of the requirement material data in the product bill of materials. Specifically, for each piece of stock material data, when the processing unit 15 determines that the stock material identifier of the stock material data matches the demand material identifier of one of the demand material data in the product bill of materials, the processing unit 15 determines the stock material data as the target stock material data corresponding to the one of the demand material data.
For example, if the stock identification codes (i.e., a001, a002, and a003) of the stock data M1-M3 in table 1 are matched with the stock identification codes (i.e., a001, a002, and a003) of the stock data N1-N3 in table 2, respectively, the processing unit 15 determines the stock data M1, the stock data M2, and the stock data M3 in table 1 as three pieces of target stock data in this example.
After the processing unit 15 determines the target inventory material data, the flow proceeds to step S4.
In step S4, the processing unit 15 determines whether the required quantities of the product bill of materials are respectively less than or equal to the inventory quantities corresponding to the required quantities (i.e., the inventory quantities of the target inventory material data), if the determination result of the processing unit 15 is no, the process proceeds to step S5, and if the determination result of the processing unit 15 is yes, the process proceeds to step S6.
For example, referring to the above tables 1 and 2, the processing unit 15 determines whether the required quantities of the required material data N1 to N3 in table 2 are respectively less than or equal to the stock quantities of the stock material data M1 to M3 in table 1, so as to check whether the quantities of the materials stored in the target receiving unit 11 are sufficient.
In step S5, which follows step S4, once the processing unit 15 determines that the required quantities are not respectively less than or equal to the corresponding inventory quantities, the processing unit 15 generates and outputs a material shortage notification, thereby reminding the user that the current material stock is not enough for assembling the product. It should be noted that, the processing unit 15 may output the material shortage notification through the display unit 12, or may output the material shortage notification through the corresponding light emitting element set 113 of the target accommodating unit 11, for example, which is not limited in this embodiment. In addition, in the present embodiment, after the processing unit 15 outputs the material shortage notification, the flow may be ended directly, for example, however, in other embodiments, after the processing unit 15 outputs the material shortage notification, the flow may be continued to step S6.
In step S6, which follows step S4, when the receiving units 11 are all in the closed state, the processing unit 15 sequentially controls the target receiving units 11 to be opened and then closed one by one (i.e., the receiving units are switched from the closed state to the open state and then from the open state to the closed state) according to the order of the requested material data. And, while controlling the operation of the target accommodating unit 11, the processing unit 15 also controls the display unit 12 to display the graphical prompt data.
It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the processing unit 15 controls each target accommodating unit 11 to switch from the closed state to the open state and then from the open state to the closed state one by one. More specifically, the processing unit 15 only controls the single target accommodating unit 11 to switch from the closed state to the open state each time, so that the user can insert a hand into the open target accommodating unit 11 to take the material, and after the user takes the material and extends the hand out of the open target accommodating unit 11, the processing unit 15 firstly controls the same target accommodating unit 11 to switch from the open state to the closed state, and then continuously controls the next target accommodating unit 11 to switch from the closed state to the open state. Taking the foregoing table 2 as an example, the processing unit 15 first controls the target accommodating unit 11 (i.e. the target accommodating unit 11 accommodating the electrical connector) corresponding to the required material data N1 to open, so that the user can take the electrical connector from the target accommodating unit 11 accommodating the electrical connector. Then, after the user finishes taking the electrical connector, the processing unit 15 controls the target accommodating unit 11 accommodating the electrical connector to be closed, and then controls the target accommodating unit 11 corresponding to the required material data N2 (i.e. the target accommodating unit 11 accommodating the electrical diode) to be opened, so that the user can take the electrical connector from the target accommodating unit 11 accommodating the electrical diode, and so on. In other words, in step S6 of the present embodiment, at most one of the target receiving units 11 is in the open state at the same time, and two or more target receiving units 11 are not in the open state at the same time, so that the present embodiment can most effectively prevent the user from getting the wrong type of material.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, if the required quantity of one piece of required material data is N (N is an integer greater than 1), the processing unit 15 controls the target accommodating unit 11 corresponding to the piece of required material data to be switched from the closed state to the open state and then from the open state to the closed state repeatedly N times.
As an example, referring to the above table 2, since the required quantity of the required material data N2 is "5", the processing unit 15 controls the target receiving unit 11 corresponding to the required material data N2 to be repeatedly turned on and off five times in this step. Therefore, for the user who is taking the materials, as long as any one of the accommodating units 11 is switched to the open state, the user only needs to fixedly take a single material from the accommodating unit 11 in the open state, and thus, the embodiment can most effectively prevent the user from taking the wrong number of materials.
On the other hand, the processing unit 15 controls the display unit 12 to display the graphical prompt data in such a way that the display unit 12 sequentially displays the prompt images m in turn in coordination with the operation of the target accommodating unit 11.
For example of continuing the required material data N1, when the processing unit 15 controls the target accommodating unit 11 corresponding to the required material data N1 to be opened, the processing unit 15 simultaneously controls the display unit 12 to display the prompt image m corresponding to the required material data N1 in the prompt image m. Therefore, when the user takes the electrical connector from the target accommodating unit 11 corresponding to the required material data N1, the user can also know the arrangement position of the electrical connector on the circuit board through the display unit 12, which is beneficial for the user to perform the assembly operation of the circuit board more efficiently.
For example of continuing the required material data N2, when the processing unit 15 controls the target accommodating unit 11 corresponding to the required material data N2 to perform the switching operation for five times, the processing unit 15 simultaneously controls the display unit 12 to sequentially display five prompt images m corresponding to the required material data N2 in the prompt images m in a manner of switching in turn. Therefore, when the user takes the diode from the target accommodating unit 11 corresponding to the required material data N2 each time, the setting position of the diode currently taken on the circuit board can be known through the display unit 12, which is beneficial for the user to perform the assembly operation of the circuit board more efficiently.
In addition, the processing unit 15 updates the inventory in this step according to the product inventory. Specifically, in the embodiment, each time the processing unit 15 controls one of the target receiving units 11 to switch to the open state, the inventory amount of the inventory material data corresponding to the target receiving unit 11 is reduced by 1. For example, in the case of continuing the requested-material data N2, before the processing unit 15 controls the target receiving unit 11 corresponding to the requested-material data N2 to operate, the inventory count of the inventory data M2 is, for example, "100" shown in table 1, however, after the processing unit 15 controls the target receiving unit 11 corresponding to the requested-material data N2 to repeatedly open and close five times, the inventory count after the update of the inventory data M2 is "95".
After the processing unit 15 controls the target accommodating unit 11 and the display unit 12 to complete the operation according to the required material data, the process proceeds to step S7.
In step S7, the processing unit 15 determines whether the inventory quantity of each inventory material data is smaller than the warning quantity corresponding to the inventory quantity, and generates and outputs a low-stock prompt notification if the determination result is yes, and if the determination result is no, the process of this embodiment is ended. It should be noted that the processing unit 15 may output the low stock quantity prompting notification through the display unit 12, or may output the low stock quantity prompting notification through the corresponding light emitting element group 113 of the accommodating unit 11, for example, which is not limited in this embodiment.
The above is an example description of the operation method of the material management apparatus 1 of the present embodiment.
It should be noted that, in another embodiment of the operation method of the material management apparatus 1, the way in which the processing unit 15 controls the operation of the target accommodating unit 11 in step S6 may be different from that of the present embodiment. If the required material data N2 with the required quantity of "5" in table 2 is taken as an example, in another embodiment, the processing unit 15 may control the target accommodating unit 11 corresponding to the required material data N2 to be opened only once, so that the user can take five materials from the target accommodating unit 11 at one time. In step S6 of the other embodiment, the processing unit 15 may control the target receiving units 11 to switch to the open state in turn sequentially and one by one for the target receiving units 11, and after the user takes the material from the last target receiving unit 11, the processing unit 15 may control the target receiving units 11 to switch to the closed state together. That is, the processing unit 15 does not necessarily control each target receiving unit 11 to be turned off before the next target receiving unit 11 is turned on, and therefore, the manner in which the processing unit 15 controls the target receiving units 11 is not limited by the embodiment.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 5 and fig. 7, the present invention further provides an embodiment of a computer executable program 5 of the material management apparatus 1, and the computer executable program 5 is suitable for the material management apparatus 1 to implement the aforementioned operation method.
The computer executable program 5 includes a data storage module 51, a data comparison module 52, a material inventory checking module 53, a material supply control module 54, and a material inventory updating module 55.
