FIG1 is a schematic diagram of a manufacturing software molding system of an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG1 , the manufacturing software molding system 100 includes a processor 110 and a storage device 120. The processor 110 is coupled to the storage device 120. In the present embodiment, the processor 110 may include a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor control unit (MCU), or a field programmable gate array (FPGA), etc., or a chip having a data operation function, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The storage device 120 may be a memory, wherein the memory may be, for example, a non-volatile memory such as a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), a volatile memory such as a random access memory (RAM), a hard disc drive, a semiconductor memory, and other storage devices, and is used to store various programs and information mentioned in the present invention. In this embodiment, the storage device 120 may store a plurality of specific modules, algorithms, and/or software, etc., for the processor 110 to read and execute them respectively. It is worth noting that the modules and units described in each embodiment of the present invention can be implemented by one or more corresponding algorithms and/or software, and the relevant functions and operations described in the embodiments can be implemented according to the execution results of one or more algorithms and/or software.

In this embodiment, the storage device 120 can store a loading module 121, a process configuration generation module 122, and an application integration module 123. The processor 110 can read these modules stored in the storage device 120, and by executing these modules, automatically provide application units for the application fields and selection fields selected by the user, and efficiently generate an application system that meets the user's needs. In this embodiment, the manufacturing software modeling system 100 can be, for example, a computer host installed in an enterprise, and provide a user interface for the user to operate in order to obtain the fields clicked or selected by the user. Alternatively, in one embodiment, the manufacturing software modeling system 100 can also be implemented, for example, using the architecture of a cloud server system. The user can connect to the cloud server to perform relevant enterprise management operations by executing the user interface (UI) program of the electronic device. In this regard, the user can operate the content of the user interface displayed on the display screen of the electronic device so that the user interface or related programs can provide corresponding user operation behavior data to the cloud server. The cloud server can automatically provide molding units and application units according to the production data stored in the storage device 120 in response to user input commands and user selection commands by executing the aforementioned multiple modules, thereby quickly generating an application system that meets user needs.

In this embodiment, the loading module 121 can be configured to collect production data stored in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) database or in the storage device 120 to generate a plurality of molding units. In this embodiment, the production data includes molding setting data and input data entered by a user through an electronic device. The molding unit is composed of one or more operation sets, field sets, index sets, and data sets. In this embodiment, the operation set can be, for example, any operation instruction or field of the user, such as a set composed of double click, pull menu, select field, or input instruction. The field set can be, for example, a set composed of a field table including production data. The index set can be, for example, relational data between the field table, the operation set, and the data set. The data set may be, for example, manufacturing parameters, machine parameters, order data, and production parameters, etc., data related to manufacturing/production.

In this embodiment, the process configuration generation module 122 can be configured to perform serial processing on multiple modeling units 320 to generate one or more application units. The serial processing is that the process configuration generation module 122 generates multiple application units according to the multiple modeling units and the relationship operations between the multiple modeling units. In other words, the process configuration generation module 122 connects the related modeling units to form an application unit. In this embodiment, the relationship operation includes a reference (Appoint) operation, an index (Index) operation, and a relation (Relation) operation. It is worth noting that the reference operation can be, for example, to reference a new operation, a new field table or an application unit to the current application unit or field table. For example, the current application screen includes a first operation field and a second operation field, and then the process configuration generation module 122 references the third operation field in another application screen to the current application screen. The index operation can be, for example, to query detailed properties from the database or storage device 120 through the same field. The association operation can be, for example, to combine two different application units or molding units into a new application unit. For example, the process configuration generation module 122 combines the first field table and the second field table into a new field table as a new application unit.

In this embodiment, the application integration module 123 can be configured to generate an application system by overlaying multiple application units. The application units can be, for example, different application layers (e.g., reporting system, advanced planning and scheduling system (APS), manufacturing execution system (MES) and statistical process control (SPC) system), and the application system is a system integrated by different application layers.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a manufacturing software molding method according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the execution of multiple modules of a manufacturing software molding system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the manufacturing software molding system 100 can execute the following steps S210 to S240. In step S210, the processor 110 inputs the production data stored in the storage device 120 or the database 310 to the molding unit loading module 121. In this embodiment, the production data includes molding setting data and input data. Molding setting data includes workshop scene data, business data, molding process related settings, production element data, operation logic and/or interface information and other parameters related to manufacturing process/software. Input data includes selected field data, event data and/or condition data.

In this embodiment, the input data may be, for example, the user performing relevant manufacturing software/process establishment operation behaviors through an input device (such as a mouse, keyboard, or touch screen, etc.) and/or the application programming interface (API) of the manufacturing software modeling system 100, so that the processor 110 can obtain user operation behavior data corresponding to the user operation behavior. The user operation behavior data may be, for example, click on the screen, pull the menu, select the menu option, input the command, and input a specific field, etc., such behavior data related to user selection/input.

In step S220, the processor 110 may execute the loading unit 121 to generate a plurality of molding units 320 by loading the required data in the production data. Then, in step S230, the processor 110 may execute the process configuration generation module 122 to generate a plurality of application units 330 according to the plurality of molding units 320 and the related operations. The application unit 330 includes a screen application unit, an operation application unit, and a data application unit. It is worth noting that in the present embodiment, the processor 110 receives a selection instruction and executes the process configuration generation module 122. In this way, the application unit 330 is generated according to the selection instruction and the molding unit 320 through the process configuration generation module 122. That is, the process configuration generation module 122 can generate an application unit 330 that meets the user's needs based on the selection instructions input by the user.

In step S240, the processor 110 executes the application integration module 123 according to the plurality of application units 330 to generate the application system 340. In one embodiment, the application integration module 123 generates the application system 340 according to the confirmation instruction and the plurality of application units 330. That is, when the processor 110 receives the selection instruction input by the user, the confirmation instruction is input to the processor 110 when the user is satisfied with the current application unit 330. Then, the processor 110 executes the application integration module 123 to superimpose the plurality of application units 330 into the application system 340. In one embodiment, the application integration module 123 includes an application molding module 1231 and an application generation module 1232. After the application molding module 1231 reads the molding unit 320 in the multiple application units 330, it performs a linking process on the associated screen/data application units 330. The linking process is to link the application units that have some of the same or related parts. Then, the application generation module 1232 loads the data application unit and the screen application unit respectively, and then connects the front-end screen (related to the screen application unit) and the back-end data (related to the data application unit) to generate the application system 340. Therefore, the application system 340 includes a screen-visualized component menu and a data table of a data table set operation (for example, including the operation content of the data table integration).

In addition, the specific implementation of the above-mentioned relational operation will be described in detail below based on the example implementation of FIG. 4.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the relational operation of the manufacturing software molding system of an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4. In this embodiment, the relational operation includes reference operations S420, S425, S435, S440, index operation S430, and association operations S410, S415. In this embodiment, the workshop data table (production data 413) is a data table composed of operation data (production data 411) and machine data (production data 412) through association operations S410, S415. The daily dispatch table (for example, daily operation table, daily task allocation table, daily task dispatch table) (production data 415) is OP1 according to the operation project, so part of the data of the workshop data table (production data 413) is referenced through the reference operation S420. Similarly, the workshop report sheet (e.g., the workshop production sheet, the production sheet between each processing station, the operation sheet between each processing workstation) (production data 416) is EQS according to the machine number, so the data of the workshop data sheet (the data sheet related to the processing workstation) (production data 413) is referenced through the reference operation S425. On the other hand, the workshop report sheet (production data 416) searches for the batch data in the batch number batch table (production data 414) according to the batch number through the index operation S430. It is worth mentioning that the relational operation can be used not only between multiple molding units 320, but also between an application unit and a molding unit 320 and between multiple application units. In this way, the manufacturing software modeling system 100 improves the process/system construction of different products/industries through relational operations to shorten the time required for software secondary development or adjustment, thereby improving the flexibility and development efficiency of the system.

It is worth noting that, in the present embodiment, each application unit can also be recombined into a new application unit. That is to say, the process configuration generation module 122 can recombine multiple molding units 320 and multiple application units 330 according to the selection instruction to generate an application unit 330 corresponding to the selection instruction, and its application unit 330 is composed of multiple molding units 320 and/or other application units 330 among the multiple application units 330. In other words, the application unit can be composed of molding units 320 and other application units. For example, the report screen A is an application unit, and the dispatch screen B is another application unit. The process configuration generation module 122 can combine the report screen A and the dispatch screen B into a new application unit C according to the selection instruction input by the user. In this way, the flexibility and scope of use of the manufacturing software molding system 100 are enhanced by the feature that the molding unit 320 and the application unit can be repeatedly combined and superimposed.

In summary, the manufacturing software modeling system 100 and method of the present invention can quickly replace or establish an application system 340 that meets user needs through the relationship operation between multiple modeling units 320 and/or multiple application units. In addition, the manufacturing software modeling system 100 of the present invention can receive the user's selection instructions multiple times to dynamically and accurately establish an application system 340 that meets the user's instructions, so as to effectively establish systems for different industries or different production parameters. In addition, through the relationship operation of the application unit, the application unit can be replaced with the application unit corresponding to the production data to achieve the rapid replacement of some parameters/partial modules, so that the manufacturing software modeling system 100 can significantly shorten the development schedule of the process/production system.

Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure, rather than to limit them. Although this disclosure is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace part or all of the technical features therein with equivalent ones; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure.
