Detailed Description

The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present invention, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a booting method for an assembly operation flow according to an embodiment of the present invention. The assembly operation process is divided into a plurality of steps (the whole process is divided into a plurality of steps by receiving the input of the user according to the actual operation requirement), and each step can be further divided into at least one sub-step for assembling the electronic product or other products or semi-finished products. As shown in fig. 1, the booting method for the assembly operation flow may include the following steps S101-S104.

And step S101, displaying a plurality of options corresponding to the steps of the assembling operation flow in a first presentation mode through a display device.

Options corresponding to the respective steps (hereinafter may be simply referred to as step options) may be displayed on a user interface of a guidance system software displayed on a display device (not shown). As shown in fig. 2, the individual step options are presented in the form of buttons, but may also be presented graphically, textually, or otherwise. Further, the steps may be performed in a predetermined order of assembly, for example, step S1 may be performed before step S2, but may be performed simultaneously without any order relationship.

Step S102 of receiving information that at least one option corresponding to at least one of the plurality of steps is selected.

According to the actual situation, an execution object (such as an operator A) responsible for assembling a certain product can enter the work number and the password of the operator (of course, information such as an item, a line and a station can be input) and the product number on a user login interface (shown in FIG. 2) of a guidance system displayed by a display device nearby the operator A, and a confirmation button is clicked to log in, and after the login, the user interface presents all the steps of the assembly flow (such as steps S1-S11 shown in FIG. 3), and similarly, the operators B and C can also respectively log in the user interface displayed by the display device nearby the operator B and C; then, the operators A, B and C can simultaneously select to turn on the corresponding button of one step (e.g., operator A selects step S1; operator B selects step S4; and operator C selects step S9), respectively.

Step S103, issuing a warning for the selected at least one option to avoid the selected at least one option being selected repeatedly.

Wherein said issuing a warning comprises: changing the presentation mode of the selected at least one option to display the selected at least one option in a second presentation mode, sounding a warning sound when the selected at least one option is repeatedly selected, and failing to be turned on when the selected at least one option is repeatedly selected.

In order to avoid the same step being selected repeatedly by different steps or the same operator, the embodiment of the invention can also send out corresponding warning to prompt the operator to select other steps after the guiding system receives the information that the corresponding buttons of the steps are selected, so that the manpower can be effectively distributed in different steps. In one embodiment, the button may be configured to be activated by changing its color as a warning, for example, from green to gray; or displaying the different state in other presentation modes, such as the size and the shape of the button are changed, so as to remind the same or other operators that the button and the corresponding step are started to be executed. In another embodiment, after the button is selected on, a warning sound is generated if the button is repeatedly selected. Moreover, even if any operator attempts to repeatedly select the button that has been selected for activation, the button will not be repeatedly activated for execution. Of course, in other embodiments, there may be other warning manners, and the examples are not limited to the above examples.

Until the buttons corresponding to all steps are turned on (e.g., all buttons are changed from green to gray), indicating that the assembly process has been assigned. Of course, after the operator a completes step S1, other steps (e.g., step S8) may be selected at other times to be executed, that is, all of the steps S1-S11 may also be selected and completed by the same operator through the display device (e.g., touch selection) and/or the common input selection device (e.g., keyboard), and need not be performed by multiple operators. When any of the buttons and corresponding steps have been completed by the operator, the buttons may be set to a different presentation, such as changing from gray to yellow or otherwise, again to alert and prevent the button and corresponding steps from being repeatedly selected.

Step S104, guiding the operation corresponding to the selected at least one option to be executed through the content displayed by the display device

Specifically, the operations corresponding to the respective steps in the flow may be displayed in one or a combination of text, video, and animation, thereby guiding the operations corresponding to the respective steps to be executed in parallel.

Taking the video shown in fig. 4 as an example, for an operator who is not familiar with specific operation steps, the operation of the corresponding step can be completed with reference to the operation details played by the video; for an operator familiar with a specific operation step, the operation of the corresponding step can be completed by referring to the content displayed by the text (not shown) or the animation (not shown). Further, below the text, video and/or animation area, the actual working time and the standard working time (which can be used to calculate the working efficiency of the operator and will be described later), the specification parameters of each component, the notice and the like can be recorded and displayed, as shown in fig. 4.

For at least one of the sub-steps, the operation corresponding to the sub-step may be guided to be performed in the above manner, and details are not repeated herein.

In summary, the present invention creatively can arbitrarily select at least one step of a plurality of steps of an assembly operation flow according to actual operation requirements, and when an option corresponding to the at least one step is turned on, a warning for avoiding repeated selection can be issued for the turned-on option, and then the operation corresponding to the turned-on option is guided to be executed through the content displayed by the display device.

In order to facilitate guiding the operator to perform the corresponding operation, the present invention may further provide, in an embodiment, a plurality of display devices, and display a plurality of steps of the assembly operation flow through each display device, whereby different operators may select respective nearby display devices to guide them to perform the selected steps.

Correspondingly, the invention further provides a guiding method for the assembling operation process. The booting method may include: displaying, by a plurality of display devices, a plurality of options corresponding to a plurality of steps of the assembly process; receiving information that a first option corresponding to a first step of the plurality of steps is selected; directing, by content displayed by a first display device of the plurality of display devices, that an operation corresponding to the selected first option be performed; receiving information that an option corresponding to a second step of the plurality of steps is selected; and guiding the operation corresponding to the selected second option to be executed through the content displayed by the second display device in the plurality of display devices, and guiding the operation corresponding to the selected first option and the second option to be executed at the same time.

The operator a can log in the user interface displayed on the display device L in the vicinity thereof and then select to turn on a step button (step S1 button); the operator B can log in the user interface displayed on the display device M in the vicinity thereof and then select to turn on a step button (step S4 button); the operator C can log in the user interface displayed on the display device N in the vicinity thereof and then select to turn on a step button (step S9 button). Then, the operator may be guided to perform step S1 through the display device L at the same time; guiding the operator through the display device M to perform step S4; and guiding the operator through the display device N to perform step S9.

For the detailed description and the advantages of the guiding method for the assembly operation flow provided in this embodiment, reference may be made to the detailed description and the advantages of the guiding method for the assembly operation flow provided in the above embodiments, which are not described herein again.

In summary, the present invention creatively selects the first step and the second step of the multiple steps of the assembly operation flow according to the actual operation requirement, and can simultaneously guide the operations corresponding to the first option and the second option to be executed through the contents displayed by different display devices respectively when the first option corresponding to the first step and the second option corresponding to the second step are both turned on, so that the present invention can guide the operator to execute the multiple steps in parallel through the different display devices, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of the assembly operation.

In addition to the role of guiding the operator to perform the corresponding step, the guidance system may also record the working time of each operator (e.g., the working time to perform a step), whereby a department manager may determine grade promotion or annual final rewards of the operator by comparing the working times of different operators or the working efficiency calculated therefrom.

In an embodiment of the present invention, for assembly operation flows of different batches, the same step may be executed by the same or different execution objects (e.g., operators), so that information that a specific option corresponding to a specific step of the multiple steps is selected by multiple operators respectively can be received. Accordingly, the guiding method for the assembly operation flow may further include: recording time-related job information of a plurality of execution targets (i.e., operators) to execute a specific step, respectively, in a case of receiving information that a specific option corresponding to a specific step among the plurality of steps is selected by a plurality of operators, respectively; and simultaneously displaying the time-dependent job information in which the plurality of execution objects execute the specific step. Wherein the job information may include: at least one of an operation time, an effective operation time, an operation efficiency, and an effective operation efficiency.

Wherein, the working time refers to the time from the beginning of execution to the completion of a specific step; the effective working time is the time consumed for temporarily stopping the working is subtracted from the working time; the operation efficiency may be calculated according to the operation time and a standard operation time required for executing the specific step (for example, operation efficiency is a standard operation time/operation time); and the effective operation efficiency can be calculated according to the operation time and the standard operation time (for example, effective operation efficiency is standard operation time/effective operation time).

Also, before the step of recording the time-dependent job information of the specific step performed by the plurality of execution targets (i.e., operators), respectively, is performed, the booting method may further include: storing different identifications (e.g., job numbers) of the plurality of execution objects that execute the specific step, and accordingly, recording time-dependent job information that the plurality of execution objects execute the specific step includes: recording the time-dependent job information that the plurality of execution objects corresponding to the different identifications perform the specific sub-step.

For the execution of the above-described step S1, first, the operator a logs in a guidance system that stores the job number of the operator; then, when the operator a turns on the step S1 button, recording of the work time of the operator a is started; finally, after completing step S1, operator a selects an end button (not shown) on the guidance system page to represent that step S1 is completed, and the guidance system receives the completion information and then ends recording the work hours of operator a.

Of course, in the process of executing step S1, the operator a may pause the job due to meeting, training, dining, rest, etc., at which point the operator a may click a pause button (not shown) on the page and select a corresponding demand option on the popped-up pause page to record the pause job time of the operator a. In a preferred embodiment, the recorded job time may be subtracted by the job pause time to obtain the effective job time actually used in assembling the product.

The work time of the operator a may be determined from the sum of the work times for the operator a to install the components in step S1.

Table 1 job information table for different operators to perform the same step S4

After the working time for the operator a to perform the step S1 is obtained, the working efficiency (or effective working efficiency) of the operator a may be calculated in combination with the working time (or effective working time) and the standard working time for performing the step S1. Similarly, in another operation flow, when the operator B performs the completion step S1, similar time-dependent job information of the operator B may also be calculated. Further, the job numbers of different operators and the job information related to the time for executing step S1, that is, the job time, the effective job time, the job efficiency (obtained from the job time and the standard job time) and the effective job efficiency (obtained from the effective job time and the standard job time) may be provided in the same table (as shown in table 1) and displayed simultaneously through the display device. Therefore, the department supervisor can visually see the operation information of different operators, which contains the operation efficiency and is related to the time, and can simply and conveniently make some reward and punishment decisions. In summary, the present invention creatively records time-related work information of different operators performing the same step, and simultaneously displays the time-related work information corresponding to the different operators, so that a higher leader such as a department leader can determine grade promotion or annual reward of the operators simply by comparing the work information (e.g., time or work efficiency calculated therefrom) of the different operators.

In the prior art, when a product is assembled according to a standard operation flow, the operation flow is often interrupted due to the lack of a certain component a in a certain step, and in this case, the corresponding step is restarted only after the component a is supplied again, thereby causing a great deal of waste of manpower and material resources and seriously affecting the completion efficiency of the assembly operation. In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the guidance system provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be configured to, when a certain step is not completed due to lack of a specific component, send an authorization request to a department administrator through the guidance system by an operator, authorize the department administrator to skip the step and continue other unexecuted steps, and specifically mark the state of the step so as to find the step after the specific component is supplied.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the guiding method for the assembly operation process may further include: in the case where information corresponding to a specific step (for example, a first step, which may be any step in the assembly operation flow) is received and the specific step cannot be performed due to the absence of a specific component during the assembly process, authorization information about the specific step may be received to temporarily end the execution of the specific step; storing the indication that the specific step is in a starved unfinished state.

The guidance method for the assembly operation flow may further include: determining whether there is a particular step marked as the starved uncompleted state after all of the steps have been performed; and in a case where there is a specific step marked as the starved uncompleted state and the specific part that is missing has been supplied by restocking, directing that an operation corresponding to the specific step be performed for completion based on the specific part. Alternatively, in a case where there is no specific step marked as the starved uncompleted state, it is determined that the assembly operation flow is performed completely.

Specifically, if the step S1 cannot be executed due to the component a being out of stock, the department administrator may authorize to temporarily end the step S1 and temporarily stop recording the operation time of the step S1; meanwhile, the step S1 may be marked as a material shortage incomplete state and stored, at this time, the button corresponding to the step S1 is set to, for example, green, and, for example, "material shortage" or other characters or icons are additionally displayed below the button as a warning. After all the respective steps are performed, it is confirmed that step S1 is marked as a starved unfinished state, and when it is found that the component a is supplied, the job of mounting the component a in step S1 may be continued, and the recording of the job time of step S1 may be restarted. After the completion step S1 is performed, whether there is another step marked as the starved uncompleted state is reconfirmed, and if it is not, it is determined that the entire assembly job is performed completely.

In a preferred embodiment, the identity (e.g., serial number) of the missing part a and the number of missing parts may also be marked for ease of review. Accordingly, after all the respective steps are performed, it is confirmed that the step S1 is marked as the starved unfinished state, and when it is found that the component a is supplied and the supply number is greater than or equal to the missing number, the operation of mounting the component a in the step S1 may be continued.

In addition, in order to quickly trace the source of the failed component (i.e. find the supplier of the failed component) when the product fails, in the embodiment of the present invention, the identifier (e.g. serial number) of the key component installed in each assembly step may also be recorded.

In an embodiment, the booting method may further include: and recording the identification of the preset key components in each step so as to track the fault source. The preset key components may refer to components with a value greater than or equal to a preset value (the preset value may be defined according to actual requirements), such as components of a CPU and a heat sink on a PCB product, or may be defined according to components that are recorded to be prone to failure in the past, or in other defining manners.

Specifically, the guiding process for the assembly operation flow provided by the present invention is explained and illustrated in detail by taking the example that the operator a performs step S4 (step S4 includes mounting components x and y) in assembling the PCB product. Hereinafter, the button corresponding to step S4 is simply referred to as the S4 button.

As shown in fig. 5, the booting process for the assembly operation flow may include the following steps S501 to S514.

Step S501, responding to the action of the operator A for inputting the job number, the password and the PCB product number, and logging in a user interface.

In step S502, in response to the operation of the operator a selecting the S4 button, the recording of the assembly job time of S4 is started.

In step S503, in response to the action of the operator a clicking S4, the flow proceeds to the flow page of S4.

Step S504, judging whether the component x is out of stock according to a guiding process; if so, go to step S505, otherwise, go to step S506.

Step S505, mark that the component x is out of stock.

Step S506, the component x is installed on the PCB, and the serial number of the component x is recorded.

Step S507, judging whether the component y is out of stock according to a guiding process; if so, go to step S508, otherwise, go to step S509.

And step S508, marking the component y out of stock.

In step S509, the component y is mounted on the PCB, and the serial number of the component y is recorded.

Step S510, judging whether the goods shortage exists or not, if so, executing step S511; otherwise, step S514 is executed.

In step S511, the authorization action to S4 in response to the reception of the authorization request by the department authority temporarily ends this S4, and temporarily stops recording the job time of S4.

In step S512, the flag S4 indicates a starved feeding incomplete state.

In step S513, when all the other steps are completed and the missing component is supplied, the operation of recording S4 is resumed, and the installation of the missing component is executed according to the boot flow.

In step S514, it is determined that the execution is completed, and the recording of the job time of S4 is stopped.

In summary, the present invention creatively receives the authorization message to temporarily end the execution of the specific step when the assembly process of the specific step cannot be executed due to the lack of the specific component, and stores the mark that the specific step is in the incomplete material shortage state; and then, the operation corresponding to the other steps is directed to be performed, whereby the completion of the specific step can be redirected in case that the specific part is supplied by restocking, and thus, the present invention can improve the completion efficiency of the assembly work by reasonably distributing manpower and material resources.

Accordingly, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a guiding method for an assembly operation process, where the guiding method may include: displaying, by at least one display device, a plurality of options corresponding to a plurality of steps of the assembly process; guiding an operation corresponding to the selected at least one of the plurality of options to be performed through the content displayed by the at least one display device, and not repeatedly guiding the operation corresponding to the selected at least one option to be performed; and receiving information that the operation corresponding to the selected at least one option is performed.

In summary, the present invention creatively can accomplish all steps independently by a single operator or by a plurality of operators working together according to the actual work distribution. Each of the plurality of steps includes at least one sub-step, and then the operation corresponding to the sub-step may be directed to be performed in parallel, whereby the present invention may direct the operator to perform the plurality of sub-steps in parallel, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of the assembly work.
