Description

Method for reporting jobs by scanning QR codes with mobile phones

This invention relates to a reporting method that improves reporting efficiency by scanning a code with a mobile phone, so as to keep track of the progress of outsourcing and in-plant production at any time.

Currently, after each production process in the manufacturing industry is completed, a manual reporting process is required. The reporting process refers to the process of recording and submitting progress, output, or other relevant data after work is completed, to facilitate management and monitoring of work progress. A typical reporting process may include the following steps:

1. Preparation phase: to confirm the task or work content and collect relevant data.

2. The execution phase involves recording work data, such as output, quality, and working hours, as well as filling out work reports, primarily by hand on paper forms.

3. Submission stage to confirm the accuracy of the data and submit the work report data manually.

4. Review and feedback: Verify the accuracy of the data and check the progress against the schedule, and request corrections for any errors.

5. Record and compile statistics to establish archives and serve as a basis for analyzing work efficiency, production problems, or resource utilization.

However, the aforementioned traditional reporting methods are mainly done manually, which is quite time-consuming. This not only affects the normal workflow but also makes it difficult to be real-time, making it impossible to immediately detect and correct errors. Furthermore, the numbers are prone to being filled in incorrectly, which is also difficult to detect, resulting in poor efficiency.

Therefore, there is Patent No. I669666, "Automated Reporting System for Assembly Line," published on August 21, 2019 (Republic of China Year 108), which discloses: an assembly line; a plurality of production order electronic tags for each workpiece in a predetermined workpiece group to operate on the assembly line, and including group workpiece data related to the at least one workpiece group; at least one start electronic tag for affixing to a starting workpiece in the workpiece group; and a connection... A cluster of electronic tags is provided on the last workpiece of the workpiece group; a start reader is disposed at an upstream end of the assembly line and can obtain workpiece data of the group of multiple production order electronic tags, and obtain a production order start time when each start electronic tag moves past the start reader; at least one end reader is disposed at a downstream end of the assembly line and obtains a production order completion time when each end electronic tag moves past the end reader.

The previous patent application could only handle reporting and management of production lines within a factory, and could not integrate reporting and management of various outsourced factories at the same time.

Another Chinese patent application, CN117172718, published on December 5, 2023, entitled "Work Reporting Method," discloses a solution to the problems of poor accuracy and timeliness in work process reporting, belonging to the field of production manufacturing information technology. This solution includes: generating a QR code for the product to be produced based on order information and related control information; generating a QR code for each workstation based on the workstation arrangement on the production floor, where the QR code identifies the workstation's current workstation number; establishing a link between the information QR code and the workstation QR code; and achieving automatic work reporting for the product at its current workstation through these two codes. This achieves real-time automatic work reporting for production processes, i.e., automatic and accurate work reporting.

The previous patent application also only allows reporting and management of production lines within a factory, and cannot integrate reporting and management of various outsourced factories at the same time.

Another Chinese patent application, CN116468401, published on July 21, 2023, entitled "A Mobile MES Industrial APP Reporting Method and System," discloses the following steps: Step S1: Provide an APP, set up personnel files for the MES processing group within the APP, and enter the corresponding employee login passwords. In the APP's user permission allocation section, enter the employee's permission to allocate the APP; Step S2: Specify the corresponding account set, server IP, and port for the APP in the terminal's local services. Information: Activate the APP service, set the server IP, port, user, and password information within the APP, and employees log in to the APP by entering their employee ID and password; Step S3: When using the APP, scan the process card barcode of the product to be produced. The APP system automatically parses the corresponding process card data, scans the barcode of the processing personnel, confirms the quantity of processed products, and then confirms the number of processing personnel until all corresponding data is entered and submitted for completion; It can perform completion reporting, process substitution, and defect reporting during workshop production, improving employee work efficiency.

The previous patent only disclosed the use of mobile phones for reporting work, but it also could not integrate the reporting work and management of various outsourced factories at the same time, so it was still not ideal in use.

Therefore, given the aforementioned shortcomings of current work reporting systems, this invention provides a mobile phone scanning work reporting method, comprising: a client inputting order information through an order system, the order system transmitting the order information to a production process system at the production end; the production process system converting the order information into a manufacturing process and transmitting the manufacturing process to a work order module; the work order module dividing the manufacturing process into an outsourced manufacturing process and an in-plant manufacturing process, and transmitting the outsourced manufacturing process and the in-plant manufacturing process to a barcode generation module; the barcode generation module generating at least one outsourced work order barcode based on the outsourced manufacturing process and transmitting it to the corresponding... The system involves an outsourcing vendor and generating at least one in-plant work order barcode according to the in-plant manufacturing process, which is then transmitted to the corresponding in-plant production line. An electronic device scans either the outsourcing work order barcode or the in-plant work order barcode to generate an outsourcing electronic work order or an in-plant electronic work order, respectively. After production is completed, an outsourcing work order message is entered into the outsourcing electronic work order and an in-plant work order message is entered into the in-plant electronic work order through an input interface on the electronic device. The outsourcing work order message and the in-plant work order message are then transmitted to a work order server. The work order server outputs the outsourcing work order message and the in-plant work order message.

The aforementioned manufacturing system, through computational processing, divides the manufacturing process into the production and assembly of each component required to assemble a product, based on the content of the order information.

The aforementioned work order module includes an outsourcing processing management module and an in-plant processing management module. The outsourcing processing management module manages parts that need to be outsourced for manufacturing and includes multiple outsourcing manufacturers. Parts that meet the outsourcing manufacturing requirements are categorized into the outsourcing manufacturing process by the outsourcing processing management module. The in-plant processing management module manages parts that need to be manufactured in-plant for manufacturing and includes multiple in-plant production lines that process them themselves. Parts that meet the in-plant manufacturing requirements are categorized into the in-plant manufacturing process by the in-plant processing management module.

The aforementioned barcode generation module generates outsourcing work order barcodes suitable for different outsourcing companies based on the outsourced manufacturing process that requires subcontracting. Each outsourcing work order barcode includes the estimated start date, estimated completion date, estimated production schedule for each part, and estimated delivery date. The outsourcing work order barcode is printed out and affixed to an outsourcing work order. The barcode generation module generates barcodes suitable for different production lines within the factory based on the in-house work order barcodes required for production. Each in-house work order barcode includes the estimated start date, estimated completion date, estimated production progress for each part, and estimated delivery date. The in-house work order barcode is then printed out and affixed to an in-house work order.

The aforementioned outsourced production worker scans the barcode of the outsourced work order with their personal electronic device, then scans the barcode of the corresponding outsourced machine, and then scans the outsourced production worker's personal barcode. In this way, the electronic device will generate the outsourced electronic work order, and the outsourced machine can be operated for production. Similarly, an in-plant production worker scans the barcode of the in-plant work order with their personal electronic device, then scans the barcode of the corresponding in-plant machine, and then scans the in-plant production worker's personal barcode. In this way, the electronic device will generate the in-plant electronic work order, and the in-plant machine can be operated for production.

After completing production, the outsourced production personnel repeatedly scan the outsourced work order barcode, the outsourced machine barcode, and the outsourced individual barcode on the outsourced work order using their personal electronic device. They can then input the outsourced work report information for the outsourced electronic work order through one of the input interfaces on their personal electronic device. Similarly, after completing production, the in-plant production personnel repeatedly scan the in-plant work order barcode, the in-plant machine barcode, and the in-plant individual barcode on the in-plant electronic work order using their personal electronic device. They can then input the in-plant work report information for the in-plant electronic work order through the input interface on their personal electronic device.

The outsourced work reporting information includes: work order number, job name, operator, number of parts completed, process name, working hours, number of equipment malfunctions, number of defects, material name and quantity. The factory's internal work reporting information includes: work order number, job name, operator, number of parts completed, process name, working hours, number of equipment malfunctions, number of defects, material name and quantity.

The aforementioned work reporting server outputs the collected outsourced work reporting information and the factory's internal work reporting information into a work order report.

The aforementioned work reporting server can output the outsourced work reporting information and the factory's internal work reporting information to various different databases.

The aforementioned database includes one or any combination of the following: parts inventory database, finished goods inventory database, accounting database, production history database, shipping database, production management database, quality control database, and receiving database.

Based on the above technical features, it has the following advantages:

1. During the production process, barcode scanning is used for reporting work. By scanning the barcode, the reporting information is collected. Relevant reporting forms and basic information can be brought in by scanning the barcode, which greatly simplifies the reporting process, speeds up the reporting process, and improves the reporting efficiency.

2. Work reporting is fully digitalized. When a work report is executed, the work reporting server can manage the required fields in real time to avoid omissions of work reporting information.

3. Online reporting of work can be done in real time, and on-site personnel can scan the code to report work at any time, updating production records in real time, making it convenient for managers to keep track of production progress at any time and effectively improving management efficiency.

4. Outsourcing vendors use the same barcode scanning reporting module, without any geographical, distance, or time zone restrictions. The system can monitor outsourcing vendors' reporting information and production progress at any time, enabling synchronized production and monitoring with the factory's production line, thus achieving seamless production management.

5. By generating and printing 2D barcodes through the system and distributing work orders to on-site personnel, the system enables personnel to scan the barcodes with their mobile phones to report their work. This makes the generation of work orders fast and accurate, and the scanning and reporting method significantly reduces the reporting time for on-site personnel, allowing for rapid consolidation of production progress without any delays. Managers can easily read real-time processing information from a remote location, which can effectively increase the efficiency of supply chain management.

6. Replace tedious manual copying with barcode scanning. The system generates two-dimensional barcodes that can be scanned at any time with a mobile phone. The latest progress can be reported through the APP, achieving the effect of fully automated barcode scanning and reporting of production.

Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. This embodiment of the invention includes the following steps:

A. A client inputs order information through an order system, which then transmits the order information to a production system at the manufacturing end. First, when a customer intends to purchase a product and is ready to place an order, they can input the order information through order system 1 on client A. Order system 1 is signal-connected to production system 2 at the manufacturing end B, and order system 1 then transmits the order information to production system 2.

B. The process system converts the order information into a manufacturing process and transmits the manufacturing process to a work order module. The process system 2 mainly uses calculations to break down the order information into the manufacturing process of each part and its assembly, based on the content of the order information and all the parts required to assemble the product. The process system 2 is connected to the work order module 3 and transmits the manufacturing process, including all parts, to the work order module 3.

C. The work order module divides the manufacturing process into an outsourced manufacturing process and an in-plant manufacturing process, and transmits both to a barcode generation module. The work order module 3 includes an outsourced manufacturing management module 31 and an in-plant manufacturing management module 32. The outsourced manufacturing management module 31 has multiple outsourcing vendors built in, based on the parts that need to be outsourced. Therefore, parts that meet the requirements for outsourced manufacturing will be classified into the outsourced manufacturing process by the outsourced manufacturing management module 31. The in-plant processing management module 32 has multiple self-processing in-plant production lines built in, based on the parts that need to be manufactured in-plant. Therefore, parts that meet the in-plant manufacturing requirements will be summarized into the in-plant manufacturing process by the in-plant processing management module 32. The work order module 3, the outsourced processing management module 31, and the in-plant processing management module 32 are signal-connected to the barcode generation module 4, and transmit the outsourced manufacturing process and the in-plant manufacturing process to the barcode generation module 4.

D. The barcode generation module generates at least one outsourcing work order barcode according to the outsourcing manufacturing process and transmits it to the corresponding outsourcing vendor, and generates at least one in-plant work order barcode according to the in-plant manufacturing process and transmits it to the corresponding in-plant production line. The barcode generation module 4 generates outsourcing work order barcodes 41A and 41B suitable for different outsourcing vendors based on the outsourcing manufacturing process that requires outsourcing. Different outsourcing vendors will have different outsourcing work order barcodes 41A and 41B. The outsourcing work order barcode includes the estimated start date of production, the estimated completion date of production, the estimated production progress of each part, and the estimated delivery date. The barcode generation module 4 transmits the outsourcing work order barcodes 41A and 41B to the corresponding outsourcing vendor. After receiving the outsourcing work order barcodes 41A and 41B belonging to the outsourcing vendor, the outsourcing vendor prints out the outsourcing work order barcodes 41A and 41B and affixes the outsourcing work order barcode 41A (or outsourcing work order barcode 41B) to an outsourcing work order 41C [as shown in the third figure]. Furthermore, the barcode generation module 4 will generate a work order barcode 42 suitable for different production lines in the factory, based on the factory's manufacturing process. Different production lines in the factory will have different work order barcodes 42. The work order barcode 42 includes the estimated start date of production, the estimated completion date of production, the estimated production progress of each part, and the estimated delivery date. The barcode generation module 4 transmits the in-plant work order barcode 42 to the corresponding in-plant production line. After receiving the in-plant work order barcode 42 belonging to the in-plant production line, the in-plant production line personnel print out the in-plant work order barcode 42 and affix the in-plant work order barcode 42 to an in-plant work order.

E. Scan the outsourced work order barcode or the factory work order barcode with an electronic device to generate an outsourced electronic work order or a factory electronic work order, respectively. The outsourcing company gives the outsourced work order 41C to the outsourced production personnel, who then begin production according to the outsourced work order 41C. The outsourced production personnel use their personal electronic device C to scan the outsourced work order barcodes 41A and 41B of the outsourced work order 41C [as shown in Figure 4], then scan the outsourced machine barcode 41D corresponding to the outsourced machine [as shown in Figure 5], and then scan the outsourced personal barcode 41E corresponding to the outsourced production personnel [as shown in Figure 6]. The outsourced personal barcode 41E is located on the personal identification card. Thus, an electronic work order for the outsourced equipment is generated on the electronic device C, allowing production to begin on the outsourced machine. The factory production line delivers the factory work order to the factory production personnel, who then begin production according to the work order. The factory production personnel use their personal electronic device C to scan the factory work order barcode 42, then scan the corresponding factory machine barcode, and finally scan their personal factory barcode, which is located on their personal identification card. This process generates an electronic work order on the electronic device, allowing production to begin on the factory machine. The electronic device C can be a smartphone with the process system's app installed.

F. After completion, the outsourcing worker enters outsourcing work information into the outsourcing electronic work order and factory work information into the factory electronic work order through the input interface of the electronic device. After the outsourced production worker completes production, they use their personal electronic device C to repeatedly scan the outsourcing work order barcodes 41A and 41B, the outsourced machine barcode, and the outsourced individual barcode [as shown in Figure 7]. In this way, the outsourcing work information can be entered into the outsourcing electronic work order through the input interface (e.g., touch screen) on the personal electronic device C, so that the outsourced production worker can complete the outsourcing electronic work order. The outsourced work report information [as shown in Figure 8] includes: work order number, job name, operator, number of parts completed, process name, working hours, number of equipment malfunctions, number of defects, material name, and material quantity. After the factory production personnel complete production, they use their personal electronic device C to repeatedly scan the factory work order barcode 42, the factory machine barcode, and the factory personal barcode [as shown in Figure 7]. In this way, the factory work report information can be entered into the factory electronic work report on the input interface (e.g., touch screen) of the personal electronic device, so that the factory production personnel can complete the factory electronic work report. The factory's internal work reporting information [as shown in Figure 8] includes: work order number, job title, operator, number of parts completed, process name, working hours, number of equipment malfunctions, number of defects, material name and quantity.

G. The outsourced work report information and the in-plant work report information are transmitted to a work report server respectively. After the outsourced production personnel complete the input of the outsourced work report information, they can connect to a work report server 5 through the electronic device C and transmit the outsourced work report information to the work report server 5 for data aggregation. After the in-plant production personnel complete the input of the in-plant work report information, they can connect to the work report server 5 through the electronic device C and transmit the in-plant work report information to the work report server 5 for data aggregation. At the same time, the reporting server 5 can review the required fields of the outsourced electronic work order and the factory's electronic work order in real time. If any field is missing, the outsourced work order or the factory's work order will not be able to be transmitted successfully to complete the work order process.

H. The reporting server outputs the outsourced work reporting information and the factory's internal work reporting information. The reporting server 5 outputs the collected outsourced work reporting information and factory's internal work reporting information as a work order report 6, which can be reviewed and tracked daily by supervisors at all levels. Furthermore, the reporting server 5 can output the outsourced work reporting information and the factory's internal work reporting information to various databases 7, allowing each unit to understand whether the current work progress is normal, ahead of schedule, or behind schedule, thus facilitating the monitoring of the entire production process. Database 7 may contain the following different sub-databases:

1. Parts inventory database 71, so that parts warehouse personnel can carry out parts receiving, issuing and inventory based on the outsourced work report information and the factory's work report information.

2. Finished goods inventory database 72, so that finished goods warehouse personnel can carry out warehousing, shipping and inventory of finished goods according to the outsourced work report information and the factory's work report information.

3. Accounting database 73, to enable accountants to perform accounting based on the outsourced work reports and the factory's internal work reports.

4. Production history database 74, which allows relevant personnel to record and archive the production process based on the outsourced work report information and the factory's work report information, for subsequent tracking purposes.

5. A shipping database 75 is provided to enable shipping personnel to organize, package, and inventory shipments based on the outsourced work reports and the factory's work reports, for the purpose of tracking on-time shipments.

6. Production management database 76, which allows production management personnel to track the progress of production work based on the outsourced work report information and the factory's internal work report information.

7. Quality control database 77, which enables quality control personnel to conduct quality inspection and management based on the outsourced work report information and the factory's work report information, so as to control quality and avoid the production of defective products.

8. Receiving database 78, enabling receiving personnel to receive and control goods based on the outsourced work report information and the factory's work report information.

This invention utilizes a process system to generate and print 2D barcodes, distributing both outsourced and in-house work orders to outsourced manufacturers and in-house production lines. Outsourced and in-house production personnel then scan the barcodes with their mobile phones to report work progress. The generation of outsourced and in-house work orders is fast and accurate, and barcode reporting significantly reduces the reporting time for on-site production personnel. Production progress from both outsourced and in-house operations can be quickly and simultaneously aggregated, allowing managers to easily access real-time processing information remotely, effectively increasing supply chain management efficiency. Furthermore, it replaces tedious manual copying with the system automatically generating 2D barcodes, which can be scanned at any time using a mobile phone, and the latest progress can be reported via an app. Because the entire production process utilizes barcode scanning for work reporting, work reporting information is aggregated through barcode scanning. Relevant work reporting forms and basic information can be imported simply by scanning the code, significantly simplifying the work reporting process, accelerating the reporting speed, and improving efficiency. Furthermore, work reporting is fully digitalized; during work reporting, the reporting server can manage required fields in real time, preventing any omissions of work reporting information. Online, real-time work reporting is also possible; production personnel can scan barcodes to report work at any time, updating production records instantly. This allows managers to easily monitor production progress and effectively improve management efficiency. In particular, when outsourcing vendors use the same barcode scanning system, it is unaffected by geographical location, distance, or time zone differences. Managers can monitor outsourcing vendors' work reporting information and production progress at any time, enabling seamless production management.
