Abstract

The present invention provides a method and system for monitoring conditions in a machine system employed in a production line. A monitoring terminal monitors a machine system and sends an alarm signal to a central control terminal once detecting an abnormality. Accordingly the central control terminal determines the machine system is in an abnormal condition. A 2-dimensional barcode disposed on the machine system is read for access to machine information. A maintenance worker repairs the machine system based on the machine information and upon completion scans the 2-dimensional barcode once again to request the central control terminal to switch off the alarm and to notify the production line of the reactivation of the machine system, in order to effectively monitor all the machine systems in the production line and to avoid damage or other unwanted conditions in the machine systems. Further, by obtaining instant data regarding conditions and status of the machine system through the reading of the 2-dimensional barcode, the maintenance worker is able to report and act appropriately.

Description

Monitoring machine abnormal state method and system thereof

The invention relates to a method for monitoring abnormal state of a machine and a system thereof, wherein the method refers to continuous control of the machine through the monitoring device, and if an abnormal state occurs, the maintenance can be quickly performed through the two-dimensional bar code on the machine. Return. The invention is also a monitoring machine abnormal state system, by which the machine can be continuously controlled, and the related machine information can be provided when an abnormal state occurs, thereby assisting the maintenance work.

In the early industry, all industries were carried out manually. Not only did they consume a lot of labor costs, but the quality was also unstable. However, in recent years, the technological progress in most industries has turned to digital machines for management.

Most of the current digital management machines are automated devices that are integrated by software and hardware. These devices will retrieve data from the machines on the production line. When an abnormal state occurs, remote notifications can be notified to relevant personnel. However, these devices can also provide capacity efficiency, total output and number of defective products between the machines, and further serve as a reference for the management decisions of the company management. For example, the production status monitoring system of the Republic of China Patent Publication No. M503595 mainly includes a database, an information collector and a host, the database being respectively connected to the information collector and the host, the host mainly It consists of a microprocessor connected to the database, a setting module, a machine monitoring module, a notification module and a display module. The database is self-setting module and information collection during use. The device captures more than one on-site information and setting information. The microprocessor uses the machine monitoring module to capture more than one machine information, and the database obtains setting information, site information, and integrates the machine information to generate As a result of the instant judgment, the instant judgment result is displayed on the display module and transmitted to the user through the notification module, that is, the purpose of real-time monitoring of the production status is achieved.

However, the above-mentioned patent case M503595 only reveals the information provided by the machine, and then analyzes it by the microprocessor in the background to assist the maintenance personnel in the maintenance. However, there is no further control on the monitoring of the subsequent machine, and usually the fault occurs. If the machine is inexperienced or inadvertent due to the maintenance personnel, it is still possible to fail again in a short period of time. Such a come and go often increases the cost of many companies.

In order to solve the problem that the prior art cannot provide continuous monitoring of the machine after maintenance, the inventors have been working on a method for monitoring the abnormal state of the machine, using at least one machine on the monitoring line, including the following steps: A.

B. reading a two-dimensional bar code on the at least one machine in which an abnormal state occurs, thereby obtaining a machine information, the machine information including an operation record, a check data or a maintenance data; C. After the machine excludes the abnormality, the two-dimensional barcode on the at least one machine is read again, thereby notifying the central control end to cancel the abnormal state of the at least one machine, and notifying the production line to continue the execution; D. When any of the machines generates the abnormal state, the monitoring terminal performs a continuous monitoring mode on the machine, and the continuous monitoring mode periodically monitors the machine information of the machine within a predetermined time.

Further, the monitoring terminal is connected to the at least one device through an image unit or electrically connected to the monitoring unit. When the monitoring terminal is the image unit, the abnormal signal is an image signal, and the monitoring terminal is the When the unit is monitored, the abnormal signal is a signal.

And, the central control terminal periodically sends a detection signal to the machine during the predetermined time to notify the detection.

Taiwan, to avoid the trouble of recurring.

2. The above-mentioned scheduled time can be adjusted according to the maintenance situation of the machine. For example, the maintenance condition can be observed for 4~8 hours. However, the maintenance time is more complicated. The observation time can be set to 1~3 days, and the adjustment is fine depending on the situation. In order to achieve the best monitoring purposes.
