Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art based on the present application are included in the scope of protection of the present application.

In order to reduce material picking error rate and manual workload, embodiments of the present application provide a material management method, apparatus, system, electronic device, computer readable storage medium, and computer program product. The following first describes a material management method provided by the embodiment of the present application.

The material management method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to any equipment needing to manage materials, for example, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a processor, a server and the like, is not particularly limited, and is hereinafter referred to as electronic equipment for clarity of description.

As shown in fig. 1, a material management method includes:

s101, acquiring a work order to be distributed;

the work orders to be distributed comprise the total number of packages of materials required by the production line, and each package can be filled with a plurality of materials.

S102, determining the quantity of returned material packages to be selected according to the total quantity of packages corresponding to any material in the work orders to be distributed and a preset returned material selecting mode;

wherein the number of the material returning packages is the number of packages for carrying material returning;

s103, determining the number of the integer material packages to be selected based on the number of returned material packages corresponding to the material and the total number of packages corresponding to the material;

wherein the number of integer material packages is the number of packages for housing unused integer material.

S104, controlling a transfer robot to transfer the material with the returned material packaging quantity and the material with the integral material packaging quantity, which are associated with the work order to be distributed, to a production line.

Therefore, in the scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the electronic equipment can acquire the work order to be distributed, wherein the work order to be distributed comprises the total number of packages of materials required by a production line, each package can be multiplied by a plurality of materials, the number of returned packages required to be selected is determined according to the total number of packages corresponding to the materials and a preset returned sorting mode aiming at any material in the work order to be distributed, the number of returned packages is the number of packages for multiplied material returning, and the number of integral material packages required to be selected is determined based on the number of returned packages corresponding to the materials and the total number of packages corresponding to the materials, wherein the number of integral material packages is the number of packages for multiplied by the unused integral materials, and the transfer robot is controlled to transfer the materials of the number of returned packages and the number of integral material packages associated with the work order to be distributed to the production line. The material returning package quantity of the materials to be sorted can be determined according to the package total quantity of the materials included in the work order to be distributed and the sorting mode corresponding to the materials, so that the integral material package quantity of the materials to be sorted is determined, the handling robot is used for carrying the sorted materials to the production line based on the work order, the materials included in the work order are sorted based on the material returning package quantity and the integral material package quantity of the materials to be sorted, the experience of workers is not needed, the material sorting error rate and the manual work load can be reduced, and the intelligent degree is high.

At present, the intelligent level of production lines in various industries is gradually improved, but a manual management mode still exists in the aspect of material management of the production lines.

For example, in an SMT production line, a worker stores newly purchased materials according to material codes, under the condition that the production line issues a work order, the worker is required to determine the integer material packaging quantity and the material returning packaging quantity of various materials to be selected according to various material quantities included in the work order by means of personal experience, and then the various materials are selected in a material stock area, so that the mode of selecting the materials has higher dependence on the worker, and the error rate of selecting the materials is high.

In step S101, the electronic device may acquire a work order to be distributed. The work orders to be distributed comprise materials required by the production line and the total quantity of packages of various materials. The total number of packages is the number of packages used to house the material, and each package can house a plurality of materials. The package may be a minimum package for accommodating materials, and the package may be a material tray, a material box, or the like, which is not particularly limited herein.

For example, the SMT production line issues a work order to be distributed, where the work order to be distributed includes the number of trays of various materials required by the SMT production line, and then the electronic device may obtain the work order to be distributed, and further obtain the number of trays of various materials required by the SMT production line.

Because the specification of the package for accommodating the materials is fixed, the number of the materials accommodated by the package for accommodating the whole materials is fixed, and the materials with different material numbers cannot be accommodated by the different material numbers required by the production line, so that the situation that the whole materials which do not consume all the materials can exist under the condition that the material number required by the production line is smaller than the specification of the package accommodating the materials. If the production line does not consume all the material in the package, the remaining material is returned to the storage area, so that in the storage area, not only the unused integer material is present, but also the unconsumed returned material is present. Therefore, in order to avoid excessive material withdrawal in the warehouse area, when the electronic equipment acquires the work order to be distributed, the electronic equipment can firstly select from the material withdrawal of each material.

Then, in step S102, for any material in the work order to be distributed, the electronic device may determine the number of returned packages to be sorted according to the total number of packages corresponding to the material and the preset returned sorting mode. Wherein the number of the material returning packages is the number of packages for taking in and returning materials. The number of reject packages may be, for example, the number of SMT reject trays.

In one case, for any material in the work order to be dispensed, if an integer of such material is not fully consumed in line use, a return of such material is generated and stored in the storage area as an inventory return. Any material may have a plurality of stock returns, and since the total number of packages corresponding to the material is the number of packages for accommodating the material, if the material is sorted according to the total number, the material is dispensed to a production line, and the total number of materials in the material corresponding to the material is less than the required amount. Therefore, the material returning package quantity of the material to be selected can be reasonably determined according to a preset material returning selecting mode.

In one embodiment, for any material in the work order to be distributed, the electronic device may determine the number of returned packages to be sorted according to the total number of packages corresponding to the material and a certain returned sorting proportion.

For example, the work order to be distributed comprises the total number of the required materials A, B and C, and each material is multiplied by a material tray. The total number of packages corresponding to the materials A is 10, the total number of packages corresponding to the materials B is 12, and the total number of packages corresponding to the materials C is 16, so that the electronic equipment can pick according to the material returning picking proportion which is one half of the total number, and further the material returning package numbers of the materials A, the materials B and the materials C to be picked are determined to be 5, 6 and 8 respectively.

After the electronic device determines the number of returned packages to be selected for the material, in step S103, the number of integer material packages to be selected may be determined based on the number of returned packages corresponding to the material and the total number of packages corresponding to the material, so that the electronic device may determine the number of returned packages to be selected and the number of integer material packages to be selected for each material included in the work order to be dispensed.

After determining the returned material packaging quantity and the integer material packaging quantity required to be selected for each material, the electronic equipment can instruct a worker to select various materials included in the work order to be distributed, or a selecting robot selects the materials included in the work order to be distributed according to the returned material packaging quantity and the integer material packaging quantity.

Wherein the number of integer material packages is the number of packages used to house unused integer material. For example, a worker may store newly purchased material in a package as an integer material in accordance with the material code. For example, if a worker deposits newly purchased SMT material into material trays, the number of integer material packages is the number of SMT integer trays.

In one embodiment, the electronic device may calculate a difference between the total number of packages corresponding to the material and the number of returned packages required to be sorted based on the total number of packages corresponding to the material and the number of returned packages required to be sorted for the material, and determine the difference as the number of integer material packages required for the material.

In another embodiment, if the material returned from the material returned package number to be selected is determined, and there is a material returned from the material returned package number, the material returned from the material returned package number may be used as the target number of the integer material package number to be increased, and the integer material package number to be required for the material is determined by increasing the integer material package number of the target number if the difference between the total package number and the material returned package number corresponding to the material is obtained.

For example, the work order to be distributed includes 10 trays of packages corresponding to the material a, the electronic device determines that the number of returned packages to be sorted is 6 trays, the electronic device can calculate the difference between the 10 trays of packages corresponding to the material a and the 6 trays of returned packages, the result is 4 trays, and then it can determine that the number of integral material packages to be sorted of the material a is 4 trays.

In one case, if there are fewer materials in the 2 trays among the 6 trays returned for the material a to be sorted, in order to avoid a situation that the total number of sorted materials does not reach the required amount, after the number of 4-tray whole-number material packages is obtained, 2 trays of whole-number material may be added, i.e. the whole-number of required sorting may be determined to be 6 trays.

Thus, the electronic equipment can determine the returned material package quantity and the integral material package quantity which are required to be selected for various materials in the work order to be distributed, and further, staff can select various materials included in the work order to be distributed based on the returned material package quantity and the integral material package quantity which are determined by the electronic equipment.

After completing the sorting of the materials included in the work order to be distributed, in step S104, the electronic device may control the transfer robot to transfer the material of the returned material packaging number and the material of the integer material packaging number associated with the work order to be distributed to the production line.

In one embodiment, the whole material and the returned material of the material are respectively stored in different shelf areas, so that the electronic device can control the transfer robot to move to the whole material shelf area, transfer the whole material of the whole material package quantity, move to the returned material shelf area, transfer the returned material of the returned material package quantity, and then transfer the material associated with the work order to be dispensed.

Or the electronic equipment can control the transfer robot to move to the material returning goods shelf area, transfer the returned materials of the returned material packaging quantity, then move to the integral material goods shelf area, transfer the integral materials of the integral material packaging quantity, and then transfer the materials associated with the work order to be transferred.

In the scheme of the embodiment, as the total quantity of the packages of the materials included in the work order to be distributed and the corresponding sorting mode of the materials can be used for determining the quantity of returned material packages required to be sorted by the materials, and further determining the quantity of integral material packages required to be sorted by the materials, so that the transfer robot can transfer the sorted materials to the production line based on the work order, various materials included in the work order are sorted based on the quantity of returned material packages required to be sorted by the materials and the quantity of integral material packages, the experience of workers is not required, the material sorting error rate and the manual workload can be reduced, and the intelligent degree is high. And the material returning corresponding to the material is preferentially selected, so that the stock ratio of the scattered disc material can be reduced, and the stock capacity of the whole stock area is improved.

As an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the step of determining, for any material in the work order to be dispensed, the number of returned packages to be selected according to the total number of packages corresponding to the material and a preset returned selecting manner may include:

For any material in a work order to be distributed, if the material is excessive in material returning remaining in a storage area, material returning backlog can be caused, so that material waste is caused. Therefore, the material warehouse-out management can be combined, and when the material warehouse-out quantity of the material to be sorted is determined, the required material is sorted according to a certain material sorting proportion, namely, a material sorting proportion factor is set.

In one embodiment, for any material in the work order to be distributed, the electronic device may calculate the number of returned packages to be sorted corresponding to the material according to the total number of packages corresponding to the material and a preset returned sorting scale factor.

Any material corresponds to a preset material returning and sorting scale factor, or all materials correspond to the same preset material returning and sorting scale factor, and the material returning and sorting scale factor can be set according to actual conditions. The preset reject picking scale factor may be a fraction of less than 1, may be a fraction of one bit, may be a fraction of two bits, and is not particularly limited herein.

For example, the preset material returning scale factor is 0.7, and the preset material returning sorting scale factor corresponding to any material is the same. The electronic equipment acquires a work order to be distributed, wherein the total number of packages corresponding to the material A is 10, and then the number of returned packages to be selected corresponding to the material A can be calculated according to the total number of packages corresponding to the material A of 10 packages and a preset returned selection scale factor of 0.7, namely, the number of returned packages to be selected is determined to be 7.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, for any material in the work order to be distributed, the electronic device may calculate, according to the total number of packages corresponding to the material and a preset refund sorting scale factor, the number of refund packages to be sorted corresponding to the material. Therefore, the material sorting error rate and the manual workload can be reduced without depending on the experience of staff, and the intelligent degree is high. Meanwhile, a preset material returning and sorting scale factor is introduced, and the material returning and integral material delivery duty ratio can be optimized by adjusting the preset material returning and sorting scale factor, so that the material sorting flexibility is improved.

As shown in fig. 2, the step of calculating the number of returned packages to be picked corresponding to the material according to the total number of packages corresponding to the material and the preset returned picking scale factor according to the embodiment of the present application may include:

s201, multiplying the total number of packages corresponding to the materials with a preset returned material sorting scale factor to obtain a product result;

s202, rounding up the product result to obtain the corresponding returned material package quantity required to be selected for the material.

Under the condition that the electronic equipment obtains the total number of packages corresponding to the materials and the preset material returning and sorting scale factor, the electronic equipment can multiply the total number of packages corresponding to the materials with the preset material returning and sorting scale factor to obtain a product result.

Since the preset reject picking scale factor is a fraction less than 1, then the product result may occur in a fraction. In order to avoid backlog of the material in the storage area, the material returned can be selected as much as possible within a reasonable range under the condition of selecting any material required in the work order to be distributed. Then, the electronic device can round up the product result to obtain the corresponding material returning package quantity to be selected. Of course, the product result may be rounded down or rounded up, which is not particularly limited herein.

For example, the total number of packages corresponding to the material is n, the preset refund sorting scale factor is k, and then the total number of packages n corresponding to the material is multiplied by the preset refund sorting scale factor k to obtain a product result n×k, and the product result is rounded up to obtain the refund package number n1=round dup (n×k) corresponding to the material.

For example, the total number of packages corresponding to the material a is 16 trays, the preset material returning and sorting scale factor is 0.4, the total number of packages corresponding to the material a is 16 trays multiplied by the preset material returning and sorting scale factor of 0.4 to obtain a product result of 6.4, and the product result of 6.4 is rounded upwards, so that the material a corresponding number of returned packages 7, namely the number of returned packages to be sorted is 7 trays.

In one embodiment, if the electronic device obtains that the number of return packages to be picked corresponding to the material is greater than the number of stock returns of the material, the number of stock returns of the material may be used as the number of return packages to be picked corresponding to the material.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the electronic device may multiply the total number of packages corresponding to the material with a preset refund sorting scale factor to obtain a product result, and round the product result upwards to obtain the number of refund packages to be sorted corresponding to the material. Therefore, the material returning device can select the required material as much as possible within a reasonable range, avoid excessive material returning of the material, simultaneously avoid depending on experience of staff, reduce material selecting error rate and manual workload, and have high intelligent degree.

As an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the method may further include:

s301, acquiring the material number included in each stock returned material corresponding to the material;

since there may be a plurality of stock returns for any one material, it is necessary to determine the stock returns of the number of return packages from among the stock returns for which such material exists.

In one embodiment, the electronic device may determine the stock returns of the number of return packages to be sorted according to the number of materials included in each stock return corresponding to the material. Then, in order to preferentially select the returned materials with a large material number, the electronic device may obtain the material number included in each stock returned material corresponding to the material according to each stock returned material record of the material.

For example, the material a is loaded by using a material tray, and the stock returns corresponding to the material include stock return a1, stock return a2, stock return a3, stock return a4 and stock return a5. Wherein, the stock return a1 includes n1, the stock return a2 includes n2, the stock return a3 includes n3, the stock return a4 includes n4, and the stock return a5 includes n5. Then, the electronic device may obtain the numbers of materials included in the stock returns a1, the stock returns a2, the stock returns a3, the stock returns a4, and the stock returns a5, n1, n2, n3, n4, and n5, respectively.

S302, according to the sequence of the material numbers from large to small, determining stock returned materials of the returned material packaging number from all stock returned materials, and taking the stock returned materials as returned materials to be selected;

The stock returns corresponding to the materials are different in number of materials, the stock returns are larger in number of materials, the stock returns are smaller in number of materials, when the stock returns of the number of returned packages are determined from the stock returns of the materials, the determined stock returns are smaller in number, and then the situation that the total number of returned materials corresponding to the materials to be distributed is smaller than the required amount can occur. Therefore, in order to avoid this, from the stock returns in which such materials exist, it is possible to preferentially determine that the stock return including a larger amount of materials is to be sorted.

In one embodiment, after the electronic device obtains the material numbers included in each stock return corresponding to the material, the material numbers included in each stock return may be sorted, and then the stock returns of the return package number are determined as the return to be sorted according to the order from large to small.

For example, in the above example in step S301, the electronic device acquires the stock returns a1, the stock return a2, the stock returns a3, the stock returns a4, and the stock returns a5, where the numbers of the materials included in the stock returns a1, n2, n3, n4, and n5 are n1, n2, n3> n4> n2> n5, and the number of the return packages is 3, and then the electronic device may determine the number of the return packages from the stock returns a1, the stock returns a2, the stock returns a3, the stock returns a4, and the stock returns a5 in order from the large to the small according to the numbers of the materials n1, n2, n3, n4, and n5, as the to-be-sorted returns, that is, determine the stock returns a1, the stock returns a3, and the stock returns a4 as the to-be-sorted returns.

S303, acquiring the stock position of the returned material to be selected so as to select the returned material to be selected from the stock position.

Each stock returned material is stored in a stock area and is placed at a corresponding stock position. After the electronic equipment determines the returned materials to be selected, the storage position of the returned materials to be selected can be obtained. The electronic device stores the stock positions of the stock returns in the stock, so that the electronic device can acquire the stock positions of the stock returns under the condition of determining the stock returns.

In one embodiment, the electronic device obtains the stock locations where the returned materials to be picked are located, and may display each stock location to instruct the worker or the picking robot to pick the returned materials to be picked from the displayed stock locations.

In another embodiment, the electronic device obtains the stock position where the returned material to be picked is located, and may light an indicator light of the stock position to instruct the worker or the picking robot to pick the returned material to be picked from the stock position where the indicator light is lighted.

For example, each stock return is stored on a light shelf that includes a plurality of bins, each bin storing a tray of stock returns. After the electronic equipment determines that the stock returned a1, the stock returned a3 and the stock returned a4 are returned to be selected, the bin positions of the stock returned a1, the stock returned a3 and the stock returned a4 can be obtained, the position of the bright light shelf where the bin is located is displayed, the worker can select the returned to be selected from the bin according to the position,

For another example, after the electronic device determines that the stock returns a1, the stock returns a3, and the stock returns a4 are to be sorted, the electronic device may light the indicator of the bin in which the stock returns a1, the stock returns a3, and the stock returns a4 are located to instruct the staff to sort the to-be-sorted returns from the stock positions.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the electronic device may obtain the number of materials included in each stock return corresponding to the material, determine, from each stock return, the stock return of the number of return packages according to the order of the number of materials from large to small, and obtain, as the return to be selected, the stock position where the return to be selected is located, so as to select the return to be selected from the stock position. Therefore, after the inventory position of the returned materials to be selected is determined, the returned materials to be selected can be selected directly from the inventory position without depending on experience of staff, so that the material selecting error rate and the manual workload can be reduced, the selecting efficiency is improved, and the intelligent degree is high.

As an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, the step of determining the number of packages of the integer material to be sorted based on the number of returned packages corresponding to the material and the total number of packages corresponding to the material may include:

S401, calculating the difference value between the total number of packages corresponding to the materials and the returned package number;

s402, if the number of the materials included in the returned materials to be selected corresponding to the materials is not lower than the preset number of the materials, taking the difference value as the integral number of the materials to be selected corresponding to the materials.

For any material in the work order to be dispensed, if the material is in stock for return, the total number of packages of the material required for the work order to be dispensed includes the number of return packages of the material and the number of integer material packages. To reduce stock returns of such materials, the returns of such materials may be preferentially sorted.

Because the stock returned materials with fewer stock returned materials are stored in the stock returned materials with the required quantity of returned material packages to be selected, the situation that the quantity of the materials distributed to the production line is insufficient after the total quantity of packages corresponding to the materials is selected can occur, the operation of the production line is influenced, and even the production line is stopped.

Therefore, in order to ensure reliable operation of the production line, a minimum threshold value of the material number included in the stock return may be defined according to practical situations, and if the material number included in the stock return is not lower than the minimum threshold value, the stock return is taken as the return to be selected without increasing the integer material. Otherwise, the number of the integer materials can be properly increased when the integer materials are selected, so that the condition that the total material number of the selected materials is insufficient is avoided.

In one embodiment, the electronic device calculates a difference between a total number of packages corresponding to the material and a returned package number, and further determines a relationship between a number of materials included in the returned material to be sorted corresponding to the material and a preset number of materials. The preset material number is a fixed value, for example, 100, 120, etc., and can be set according to practical situations.

If the number of the materials included in the returned materials to be selected corresponding to the materials is not lower than the preset number of the materials, the electronic equipment can use the obtained difference value as the integral number of the materials to be selected corresponding to the materials. That is, the materials to be sorted and returned corresponding to the materials have more materials, and no integer materials are required to be added.

For example, the work order to be distributed comprises 10 trays of materials A required by a production line, 3 trays of material returning packages and stock returned materials a1, a2 and a3 to be selected. Wherein, the stock returned material a1 includes 150 materials, the stock returned material a2 includes 130 materials, the stock returned material a3 includes 110 materials, and the preset material number is 100 materials. The number of the materials to be sorted and returned corresponding to the materials is not lower than 100, and the electronic equipment can use the difference 7 discs between the total packaging number and the returned packaging number corresponding to the materials A as the integral material packaging number to be sorted corresponding to the materials A.

S403, if target returned materials exist in returned materials to be selected corresponding to the materials, acquiring the number of the target returned materials as target number;

the target returned materials are returned materials to be selected, wherein the number of the materials included in the returned materials is lower than the number of the preset materials.

S404, calculating the integer material packaging quantity which corresponds to the material and is required to be selected based on the target quantity and the difference value.

If the material to be sorted and returned corresponding to the material is lower than the preset material number, the electronic equipment can determine the integer material packaging quantity to be sorted corresponding to the material according to the quantity and the difference value of the material to be sorted and returned, wherein the quantity of the material to be sorted is lower than the preset material number.

That is, the material number included in the material to be sorted and returned corresponding to the material has a stock material returned with a smaller material number, so that the whole number of the material can be properly increased to avoid the condition that the material number of the material distributed to the production line is insufficient.

In one embodiment, the electronic device may obtain the number of returned materials to be sorted, where the number of materials is lower than the preset number of materials, and use the number as the target number, so as to calculate the number of integer material packages to be sorted, where the number of integer material packages to be sorted corresponds to the material based on the target number and the difference value.

For example, the work order to be distributed comprises 10 trays of materials A required by a production line, 3 trays of material returning packages and stock returned materials a1, a2 and a3 to be selected. Wherein, the stock returned material a1 includes 150 materials, the stock returned material a2 includes 130 materials, the stock returned material a3 includes 110 materials, and the preset material number is 120 materials. Then the stock returned material a3 corresponding to the material includes a material number lower than the preset material number 120, the electronic device obtains the number of returned materials to be selected, the material number of which is lower than the preset material number, as 1 disc, and takes the 1 disc as the target number.

If the number of the increased integer material packages is 1 tray, the number of the increased integer material packages is within a reasonable range. Therefore, the number of the integer material packages to be picked corresponding to the material A can be calculated based on the target number and the difference value, and the number of the integer material packages to be picked is 8.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the electronic device may determine, in different manners, the number of integer material packages to be sorted corresponding to the material according to the relationship between the number of materials included in the returned material to be sorted and the preset number of materials. Therefore, the determined integral material packaging quantity which corresponds to the material and is required to be selected can be more in line with the actual demand, so that the material quantity of the selected material can meet the demand of a production line.

As an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the step of calculating, based on the target number and the difference, the number of integer material packages to be picked corresponding to the material may include:

The number of the materials to be selected and returned corresponding to the materials can be increased under the condition that the number of the materials is lower than the preset number of the materials. The number of the integer material packages is increased, and if the number of the integer material packages is increased too much, the material returning of the material is easy to be caused too much. Therefore, the number of the whole material packages can be increased according to the actual situation.

In one embodiment, if the target quantity is not greater than the preset quantity, the sum of the target quantity and the difference is taken as the integral quantity of the material package to be selected corresponding to the material. The preset quantity is the maximum quantity of the integral material packages added by the same material in one work order to be distributed.

In another embodiment, if the target quantity is greater than the preset quantity, the sum of the preset quantity and the difference is taken as the integral quantity of the material package to be selected corresponding to the material.

For example, for a material a required by a production line included in a work order to be distributed, the difference between the total number of packages corresponding to the material a and the number of returned packages is 5, and the preset number f is 3.

If the electronic equipment acquires that the number of the materials to be sorted and returned corresponding to the material A is 2, namely the target number is 2, wherein the number of the materials to be sorted and returned is lower than the preset number of the materials. Then, the target number is not greater than the preset number f, and the electronic equipment can sum the target number and the difference value to obtain the integral number of the material packages to be selected, which corresponds to the material A, of 7;

if the electronic equipment acquires that the number of the materials to be sorted and returned corresponding to the material A is 4, namely the target number is 4, wherein the number of the materials to be sorted and returned is lower than the preset number of the materials. Then, the target number is greater than the preset number f, and the electronic device may sum the preset number f and the difference value, so as to obtain the integer number of material packages to be sorted, which corresponds to the material a, which is 8.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, if the target number is not greater than the preset number, the electronic device may use the sum of the target number and the difference value as the number of the integer material packages to be picked corresponding to the material, and if the target number is greater than the preset number, may use the sum of the preset number and the difference value as the number of the integer material packages to be picked corresponding to the material. Therefore, the determined integral material packaging quantity which corresponds to the material and is required to be selected can be more in line with the actual demand, so that the material quantity of the selected material can meet the demand of a production line, and excessive material returning is avoided.

As an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the stock returned materials are stored in a returned material shelf area, and the returned material shelf area includes a plurality of bins, and each bin is provided with an indicator light.

If the integral materials and the returned materials of the materials are stored in the same goods shelf area, under the condition that a plurality of work orders to be distributed are issued on a production line, according to the required quantity of the materials included in each work order to be distributed, the condition that the sorting is disordered easily occurs when the integral materials and the returned materials are sorted in the same goods shelf area. Therefore, in order to improve the sorting efficiency of the materials and reduce sorting conflicts, the whole materials and returned materials of the materials can be stored in different shelf areas.

In one embodiment, the stock returns are stored in a return shelf area, which may include a plurality of bins, each bin having an indicator light. Wherein, each bin can be provided with a package for carrying and returning materials, and a plurality of packages for carrying and returning materials can be provided, and the method is not particularly limited.

Illustratively, the stock returns that are not consumed by the SMT line are stored in a light shelf area, the light shelf area includes a plurality of bins, each bin is provided with a return tray, and each bin corresponds to a multicolor display indicator light.

In this case, the above method may further include:

Because each bin of the material returning goods shelf zone is provided with an indicator light, a worker can determine the storage position of the material to be sorted and returned in the material returning goods shelf zone according to the lighting condition of the indicator light.

In one embodiment, the electronic device may control the indicator light of the bin in which the returned material is to be picked to be lit according to a preset manner, so that the worker may be instructed to pick the returned material to be picked from the bin in which the indicator light is located. The indicator light may be a multicolor display indicator light, and then the preset mode may be to light the preset color light of the indicator light, so as to indicate that the returned materials stored in the bin are returned materials to be selected, and the preset mode may be set according to actual conditions, for example, a green light is lighted, etc.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, the stock returns of SMT materials are stored in a return shelf area comprising 3 light shelves, a first light shelf 501, a second light shelf 502 and a third light shelf 503, respectively, each light shelf comprising a plurality of bins, such as a first bin 504 and a second bin 505, each bin having one LED indicator light, and each bin storing a return tray, the return tray being the smallest package in which the return is stored. Wherein, the bin of the first lighting shelf 501 stores the material a to be sorted and returned. After the electronic device determines the stock position of the material A to be sorted and returned, the green light in the LED indicator lamp of the corresponding bin of the first lighting shelf 501 can be controlled to be lighted, so that a worker can be instructed to sort the returned material of the material A from the bin of the green light, namely, sort the returned tray of the material A from the bin corresponding to the first lighting shelf 501.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the electronic device may control the indicator light of the bin where the returned material to be picked is located to be turned on according to a preset manner, so as to indicate that the returned material to be picked is picked from the bin where the indicator light is located. Therefore, staff can select stock material returning of the material returning package quantity required to be selected based on the bin where the indicator lamp is located, experience of the staff is not needed, material selecting error rate and manual workload can be reduced, and the intelligent degree is high.

In order to improve the sorting efficiency of the materials and reduce the sorting disorder, the whole materials and returned materials can be stored in different shelf areas. The integer material is stored in an integer material shelf area, the integer material shelf area comprises a plurality of shelves, and each shelf stores at least one integer material.

Illustratively, the SMT integer trays are stored in an integer inventory area, where the integer inventory area includes a plurality of movable shelves, and the SMT integer trays are stored and placed on the movable shelves using a standard bin in which one or more SKUs (Stock keeping Unit, units of inventory in and out metering) integer trays may be placed. The standard bin is a carrier for storing SMT integer trays, and can be a standard antistatic glue bin, which is not particularly limited herein.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, an integer tray of SMT material is stored in an integer tray deck comprising 4 movable shelves, as shown by movable shelf 601. An integer tray magazine may be placed on the movable shelf as shown by integer tray magazine 602. One or more SKU integer trays may be placed in the integer tray bin.

Because the integral materials are stored in the integral material shelf area, the returned materials are stored in the returned material shelf area, so that the staff can select the integral materials preferentially according to the actual service on site and then select the returned materials; the material returning can be preferentially selected, and then the integer material is selected.

For example, a schematic layout of an SMT raw material warehouse is shown in fig. 7, in which the warehouse includes an integer tray area, a light shelf area, a single-closing area, a light shelf picking completion area, a picking workstation, a distribution vehicle distribution position and a distribution vehicle buffer area, wherein the integer tray area and the light shelf area are separated by an isolation net, the integer tray area stores SMT integer tray materials, the light shelf area stores SMT material returning, and a plurality of AMR are present in the warehouse for carrying.

The staff can decide to select the SMT integer disc materials preferentially according to the work order to be distributed issued by the production line and the layout of the warehouse area, and then select the SMT returned materials; and the SMT material returning is preferentially selected, and then the SMT integer disc material is selected.

In one embodiment, the production line issues a plurality of work orders to be distributed, and the staff preferentially picks the integer materials to be picked corresponding to the materials, and then picks the returned materials to be picked corresponding to the materials.

In this case, as shown in fig. 8, the step of controlling the transfer robot to transfer the material of the returned package quantity and the material of the integral material package quantity associated with the work order to be dispensed to the production line may include:

s801, controlling a transfer robot to transfer a skip car used for loading materials contained in the work order to be distributed to a skip car distribution position;

the electronic equipment can manage the whole material goods shelf area and the material returning goods shelf area simultaneously, under the condition that the material demand of the production line is received, the electronic equipment can determine the material returning package quantity and the whole material package quantity of the material required to be selected of the work order to be distributed, and then according to the received instructions, the carrying robot is controlled to complete the work of carrying the skip car, carrying the whole material goods shelf, distributing the material and the like. The transfer robot can be an autonomous mobile robot AMR, is generally a wheel type or humanoid robot, carries various sensors, can autonomously navigate, and completes material transfer work. The instruction received by the electronic device may be sent by a worker or may be a preset trigger, which is not specifically limited herein.

For example, when a worker sends an integer material picking instruction, the electronic device may control the transfer robot to transfer a skip to a skip dispensing station for loading material included in a work order to be dispensed.

S802, controlling a transfer robot to transfer a goods shelf storing the integer materials from the integer material goods shelf area to a picking workstation according to the integer material packaging quantity and the goods shelf position of the integer materials, so as to pick the integer materials from the goods shelf according to the integer material packaging quantity and place the integer materials in the skip;

after the electronic equipment determines the number of the integer material packages to be selected for the material, the storage shelf position of the integer material to be selected for the material can be determined according to the storage position of the material in the integer material storage shelf area. Then, the electronic device may control the transfer robot to move to the integer material rack area according to the number of integer material packages and the rack position where the integer material is located, transfer the rack storing the integer material from the integer material rack area to the sorting workstation, so that a worker can sort the integer material of the integer material package number from the rack according to the number of integer material packages, and place the integer material in the skip.

S803, under the condition that an integer material picking completion instruction is received, controlling a transfer robot to transfer the skip to a preset single-closing area, so as to pick the material to be picked for returning of the number of returned material packages from the returned material shelf area according to the bin position of the indicator lamp of the returned material shelf area, and placing the material to be picked in the skip of the preset single-closing area;

when the worker finishes picking the integer materials, the worker can send an integer material picking completion instruction, the electronic equipment can control the carrying robot to carry the skip to the preset single-closing area under the condition that the worker sends the integer material picking completion instruction, and when the worker arrives at the material returning goods shelf area for storing the returned materials, the worker can pick the returned materials to be picked of the returned material packaging quantity from the material returning goods shelf area according to the position of the indicator lamp of the material returning goods shelf area and place the returned materials in the skip of the preset single-closing area. The preset single-closing area is the position where the skip is placed when the worker does not complete the picking work of picking returned materials.

S804, under the condition that a returned material picking completion instruction is received, controlling a transfer robot to transfer the skip to a picking completion area;

when the worker finishes picking the returned materials, a returned material picking completion instruction can be sent out, and the electronic equipment can control the carrying robot to carry the skip car to a picking completion area under the condition that the returned material picking completion instruction sent by the worker is received.

S805, controlling a transfer robot to transfer the skip car from the picking completion area to carry out production line distribution.

After the transfer robot transfers the skip to the picking completion area, the staff can send out a material distribution instruction, and then the electronic equipment can control the transfer robot to transfer the skip from the picking completion area to carry out production line distribution.

For example, as shown in fig. 9, the electronic device obtains a work order to be distributed from the production line, determines that the work order to be distributed includes the number of material returning trays and the number of integer trays required to be selected by various SMT materials required by the production line, and under the condition that an integer material selecting instruction sent by a worker is received, the electronic device can control AMR to be carried from a distribution skip buffer area, and carries the distribution skip to be supplemented to a distribution skip distribution position.

For any material included in the work order to be distributed, according to the number of the integer disks and the position of the goods shelf where the integer disks are positioned, the electronic equipment can control the AMR to carry the goods shelf to the picking work station, namely the AMR can carry the goods shelf storing the SMT material of the integer disks required by the work order to be distributed from the integer disk area to the picking work station. Then, the material of the integer disc is selected manually, namely, a worker can select the material of the integer disc corresponding to the SMT material from the goods shelf according to the integer disc quantity of the SMT material and place the material in the skip.
