Description

System and method for generating plug-in prompt based on connection line attribute data

A system and method for prompting the installation position of a connecting wire, in particular, a system and method for generating an insertion prompt based on the attribute data of the connecting wire.

At present, most of the installation work for computing devices is to define corresponding installation rules for each computing device. The operator completes the installation of each material in the bill of materials according to the defined installation rules and installation experience. However, this installation method often requires the operator to have sufficient experience, and at the same time, carefully confirm the specifications and installation rules of each material, otherwise it is easy to happen that the material does not meet the installation rules or is installed in an incorrect position.

In order to solve this problem, there are currently auxiliary software that give installation prompts when the operator installs the materials. When installing materials, the operator can scan the material number of the material to be installed, and the auxiliary software can read the location information of the material based on the scanned material number, and display the read location information, so as to give the operator the corresponding installation Hint, in this way, the auxiliary software can provide direct and effective assistance when the operator installs materials.

Therefore, the above-mentioned auxiliary software still needs to rely on experienced operators to carefully confirm the installation rules before setting the location information of each material. Once the number of connection lines in the bill of materials is very large, it will take a lot of time to set the location information of the material.
