G05B 19/418, G06F 17/50. Published on December 20, 2015, Bull. No. 35).

The disadvantage of this complex is the need to use radio frequency identifiers and readers of their data.

The objective of the developed invention is to create a complex of software and hardware tools for automating the processes of clothing production, which allows collecting, analyzing and presenting in a qualitative form information about production and technological processes at a clothing industry enterprise for monitoring and managing production, forecasting deadlines and planning production costs in preparation for production new types of clothing products, as well as to control deviations in the implementation of technological processes and assess the impact of these deviations on the functioning of the production and technological system of the enterprise as a whole. As part of the developed complex of software and hardware for automation of sewing production processes, there can be an arbitrary number of automated workplaces and structural divisions of the enterprise.

The technical result of this invention is the ability to collect and process data on the operation of sewing equipment on a server of workplaces to collect data on the operation of sewing machines in real time, and according to the values of the industrial frequency alternating current consumed by the sewing equipment, assess the degree of loading of the equipment, determine , which technological operation the employee is currently performing and track the performance of the production task by each specific employee. In addition, after performing a certain number of technological operations and using up a batch of clothing parts issued to an employee, the employee must scan the barcode of this batch using a tablet computer with a built-in barcode scanner and, thus, transfer information to the workplace server to collect data on the completion of the production task. on the performance of a number of technological operations with a specific batch of clothing items.

Combining and accounting data received from the workplace server for collecting data on the operation of sewing machines and the workplace server for collecting data on the fulfillment of a production task allows you to monitor the activities of each employee in real time, evaluate the degree of equipment utilization and provide information about the operation of the enterprise in a qualitative form for making informed management decisions. The accumulation and processing of this information in the future will make it possible to forecast the timing and plan production costs in the preparation for the production of new types of garments.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The basic element of the developed complex of software and hardware for automation of sewing production processes is the seamstress workplace (9, 11, 13), equipped with a tablet computer with a built-in barcode scanner (10, 12, 14) and an AC measuring device (15, 16, 17) consumed by the sewing machine at the workplace. Having received a batch of parts of clothing elements, the seamstress at her workplace performs all the necessary technological operations with these parts, provided for by the technological documentation and the product passport.

The AC measuring device collects information about the operating modes of the sewing equipment, the number and duration of work and idle intervals, the levels of current consumed, and sends the collected information to the job server to collect data on the operation of sewing machines (4). Having completed all the necessary technological operations, the seamstress registers the barcode of this batch of parts of clothing items in an automated system using a tablet computer equipped with a barcode scanner. This information from the workplaces is accumulated on a tablet computer, which is equipped with the automated workplace of the head of the structural unit (8), after which, with a certain frequency, it is sent to the workplace server to collect data on the fulfillment of the production task (1), as well as to the central analytical enterprise server (3).

Each alternating current measuring device is a structural element of the workplace of an enterprise employee and constitutes a complex of stationary devices with a specific sewing machine. The transmission of data from AC measuring devices to the workstation server for collecting data on the operation of sewing machines is carried out via Ethernet. Why are all AC measurement devices of a particular structural unit (workshop) (7) connected to the router of this structural unit (18). Data is transmitted only in one direction - from AC measuring devices to the server.

Each workstation tablet computer is also a structural element of the workplace, however, it is possible to move the tablet computer from one workplace to another. The mobility property of tablet computers makes it possible to respond more flexibly to changes in the structural unit, both personnel and equipment. Data transfer from tablet computers of automated workplaces to a tablet computer of an automated workplace of the head of a structural unit is carried out via a Wi-Fi network. The tablet computer of the automated workplace of the head of the structural unit transmits data to the router of the structural unit also via the Wi-Fi network.

Data transfer from the structural unit router (6) to the workstation server for collecting data on the execution of the production task is carried out over the Ethernet network and is bidirectional, that is, data is transmitted both from the tablet computers of the workstations of the heads of structural divisions and from the tablet computers of the workstations to workstation server for collecting data on the execution of a production task, and vice versa. If necessary, it is possible to correct the data, transfer it and display it on the tablet computer of the automated workplace of the head of the structural unit or on the tablet computer of the automated workplace.

An appropriate router (5) is designed to distribute data between the workplace server for collecting data on the execution of a production task and the central analytical server of the enterprise for collecting and analyzing data.

The central analytical server of the enterprise for data collection and analysis performs the accumulation and processing of all collected data. It analyzes data on all technological operations performed, compares the data entered into the system by workers at their workplaces with objective data on the operation of the equipment obtained from AC measuring devices. The quantity of products manufactured per shift, the type of these products, as well as the intensity of labor of each employee are determined. The processed data is presented to the workplace of the head of the enterprise, both in quantitative and qualitative form - in the form of graphs, diagrams, etc.

Having reliable information about the operation of the enterprise, management can make informed management decisions and manage production processes in real time. In addition, the availability of a complete set of information about the operation of the enterprise and the nature of the production of a particular type of product makes it possible to predict the timing and necessary production costs when planning the production of new types of products.
