The code 92 corresponds to the product name milk tea, and the special demand is less ice, no sugar, the beverage production process 41 can be a black tea step, a milk adding step and an ice block step, and if the identification code 92 corresponds to the product name milk tea, special If the demand is less ice and less sugar milk tea, the beverage production process 41 may be a black tea step, a milk adding step, an ice filling step and a sugar adding step. The monitoring module 40 is electrically connected to the scanning unit 10, the sensing module 30, and a sealing device 95 for packaging the beverage 91. The scanning device 11 determines the corresponding beverage making process 41 according to the scanning signal 11, and the monitoring module 40 is determined according to the decision. The beverage production process 41 and the at least one sensing signal 31 determine whether the beverage 91 has been produced in accordance with the production steps of the determined beverage production process 41. If the manufacturing process of the beverage production process 41 is not determined, the monitoring module 40 controls the operation of the film device 95 to inhibit the sealing of the beverage 91.

Overall, when the staff member 93 starts to make a cup of tea called milk tea, and the special demand is less ice, sugar-free drink 91, the staff member 93 can first scan the scanning unit 10 with the identification code 92 on the cup of the drink 91. To generate a scan signal 11. At this time, the scan signal 11 transmits the monitoring module 40, so that the monitoring module 40 determines the corresponding beverage making process 41 according to the scanning signal 11, which should be the three steps of the black tea step, the milking step and the ice adding step. Simultaneously or successively, the worker 93 can start making a drink 91, and when the worker 93 goes to the workstation 94 with the black tea step for related production, the sensing module 30 on the workstation 94 can sense the worker 93. The identification unit 20 is configured to generate the sensing signal 31 of the step of adding the black tea; then, when the staff 93 goes to the workstation 94 of the adding step to perform related production, the sensing module 30 on the workstation 94 can sense the staff 93 The identification unit 20 is configured to generate the sensing signal 31 of the milking step; and then, when the worker 93 goes to the workstation 94 of the ice-adding step to perform related production, the sensing module 30 on the workstation 94 can sense the staff The identification unit 20 on the 93 is configured to generate the sensing signal 31 of the step of adding ice. Finally, the monitoring module 40 determines, according to the beverage production process 41 and the plurality of sensing signals 31, whether the staff member 93 has the production steps of the beverage production process 41. Make a drink 91.

When the monitoring module 40 receives only two sensing signals 31, the monitoring module 40 can determine that the beverage 91 is not produced according to the production steps of the beverage production process 41; or, the monitoring module 40 receives the black tea. When the sensing signal 31 of the step, the sensing signal 31 of the adding step, and the sensing signal 31 of the sugar adding step, the monitoring module 40 can determine that the beverage 91 is not produced according to the manufacturing steps of the beverage making process 41.

As can be seen from the above, the beverage production monitoring system 100 of the present invention can effectively monitor whether the staff 93 actually makes the beverage 91 according to the beverage making process or the steps, thereby achieving the advantages of low error rate of the product.

It is worth mentioning that the identification code 92 can further include an order number, so when the staff 93 completes the production of the beverage 91, the monitoring module 40 can generate a production process and store it in the database (not shown). In the picture). The production process can include the order number, the employee number and the steps performed, so that if the beverage 91 is found to have a business trip or quality problems in the subsequent process, the production process can be used to clarify the responsibility, and the staff member 93 can be re-educated. Wait for training.

In addition, it is preferable for the staff member 93 to judge whether the relevant steps are completed on the workstation 94, which can be judged in a time manner. The monitoring module 40 can determine the dwell time of the worker 93 at the workstation 94 according to the sensing signal 31, and when the monitoring module 40 determines that the dwell time is not less than the predetermined time, it is determined that the worker 93 completes the manufacturing step at the corresponding workstation 94. The predetermined time may be determined according to the difference of the workstation 94. For example, the step of adding black tea may be 10 seconds, the step of adding milk may be 5 seconds, and the step of adding ice may be 3 seconds, etc., the above is only an example, and should not be It is a limitation.

Please refer to Figures 3 and 4, which are block diagrams and step diagrams of a second embodiment of the beverage production monitoring system of the present invention. In this embodiment, the configuration and operation of the components are similar to those described above, and the similarities thereof are not described herein. The main difference between this embodiment and the foregoing embodiment is that a signal for monitoring use is added to cooperate with further judgment, so that it is possible to more reliably monitor whether the worker 93 actually makes the drink 91 according to the beverage making process or the step, thereby Achieve the product's low error rate.

As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the scanning unit 10 can be configured in multiple numbers, and one scanning unit 10, as a staff member 93 starts to make a drink 91, generates a scanning signal 11 as a scan to cause the monitoring module 40 to produce a beverage. The process 41 is used; the other plurality of scanning units 10 can be respectively disposed on the workstation 94.

With the above configuration, when the worker 93 enters the workstation 94, the scanning unit 10 can first scan the identification code 92 of the cup of the beverage 91 to generate the scanning signal 11 for use together with the sensing signal 31.

For example, the worker 93 begins to make a drink 91, and when the worker 93 to the workstation 94 of the black tea step performs related production, the worker 93 can first cause the scanning unit 10 to scan the identification number 92 of the cup of the drink 91. To generate the scanning signal 11 of the black tea step, at this time, the sensing module 30 on the workstation 94 can sense the identification unit 20 on the worker 93 to generate the sensing signal 31 of the black tea step; then when the staff 93 to When the workstation 94 of the milking step performs related production, the worker 93 may first cause the scanning unit 10 to scan the identification code 92 of the cup of the beverage 91 to generate the scanning signal 11 of the milking step, at which time the sensing on the workstation 94 is performed. The module 30 can sense the identification unit 20 on the worker 93 to generate the sensing signal 31 of the milking step; and then when the worker 93 goes to the workstation 94 of the ice-adding step to perform related production, the staff member 93 can first The scanning unit 10 scans the identification code 92 of the cup of the beverage 91 to generate the scanning signal 11 of the ice-increasing step. At this time, the sensing module 30 on the workstation 94 can sense the identification unit 20 on the worker 93. Produce Rocks step 31 of sensing signal. Finally, the monitoring module 40 determines, according to the beverage production process 41, the plurality of scanning signals 11 and the plurality of sensing signals 31, whether the staff member 93 has the production steps of the beverage production process 41 to make the beverage 91.

Briefly, the monitoring module 40 receives a plurality of scanning signals 11 and a plurality of sensing signals 31, and determines that the beverage 91 is not determined according to the determined beverage production process 41, the plurality of scanning signals 11 and the plurality of sensing signals 31. In the production step of the beverage production process 41, the control film sealing device 95 prohibits sealing of the beverage 91, that is, steps (S41) and (S42). Therefore, under the condition that the scanning signal 11 and the sensing signal 31 are simultaneously used, it is possible to more reliably monitor whether the worker 93 actually makes the beverage 91 according to the beverage making process or the step, thereby achieving the advantages of low error rate of the product. Incidentally, if the drink 91 is black tea, no ice, and no sugar, the scanning signal 11 can be two, and the sensing signal 31 is only one, so the above descriptions of multiples are not limited.

It is worth mentioning that the beverage production monitoring system 100 of the present invention can include a reminder module 50 that can send a reminder message in the form of sound, light, or a combination thereof. At this time, the monitoring module 40 is electrically connected to the scanning unit 10, the sensing module 30, the reminding module 50, and a sealing device 95 for encapsulating the beverage 91. Therefore, when the monitoring module 40 determines that the beverage 91 is not produced according to the determined beverage production process 41, the monitoring module 40 can control the reminder module 50 to generate a reminder message.

In addition, the above-mentioned reminding method can be used together with the monitoring module 40 to control the sealing device 95 to prohibit the action of sealing the beverage 91, or to replace it. That is, when the monitoring module 40 determines that the beverage 91 is not produced according to the determined beverage production process 41, the monitoring module 40 may only control the reminder module 50 to generate a reminder message, or only control the sealing device 95 to prohibit the pair. The beverage 91 performs the action of sealing the film, or alternatively, the control reminder module 50 generates an alert message and the film sealing device 95 prohibits the action of sealing the beverage 91.
