Multi-Machine Coordination and Scheduling

For scenarios where one or multiple workstations coordinate with multiple machines, the system automatically handles task assignment, status interlocking, exception recovery, and takt time balancing.

Task Assignment Strategy

Assign tasks based on device availability, capability constraints, and queue priority.

Coordination Interlocking Strategy

Loading & Unloading, machines, and inspection units execute according to rules to avoid concurrent conflicts.

exception recovery Strategy

Automatically roll back and trigger human confirmation if communication or process exceptions occur.

Scheduling Workflow

  • Task enters queue: triggered by scanning code or work order
  • Capability matching: filter devices based on machine type and process requirements
  • Device assignment: select the optimal idle device and assign the task
  • Process tracking: monitor worksteps, alerts, and takt changes in real-time
  • Result feedback: feed processing and inspection results back to traceability records
  • Device release: after closing the loop, move to the next round of scheduling

Key Coordination Metrics

  • Equipment utilization: ratio of idle to running
  • Task waiting time: delay between task assignment and start
  • Workstep takt deviation: level of cycle-time balance
  • Exception recovery time: time from fault to closed-loop recovery
