Data collection system and method
First Claim
1. A component data collecting system, comprising:
- a verifying module for verifying access right of at least one component supplier;
a database for storing related data required during collection of component data to be acquired by the component data collecting system;
a collecting module for collecting component data inputted by the component supplier and storing the collected component data in the database after the access right of the component supplier is verified by the verifying module;
an examining module for examining whether the component data comply with approved regulation by comparing the component data with examination standard stored in the database, and for assigning an identification number to the component data that comply with the approved regulation and setting the component data as standard component data;
a system integrating unit for integrating the standard component data to a production management system to ensure that the component data required for production all comply with the approved regulation; and
a management unit for managing operations of and communications between the preceding modules/unit during the collection of component data.

Abstract
A component data collecting system and method applicable to a process of collecting product required component data that comply with approved regulation. The system includes a verifying module, a collecting module, a database, an examining module, a system integrating unit and a management unit. The verifying module verifies the identity of a component supplier. After verification, the component supplier inputs component data through the collecting module and the component data is temporarily stored in a data register. An examining module determines whether the component data comply with the required regulation by comparing it with predetermined examination standard. The component data complying with the regulation is assigned an identification number and stored in a product data section, such that the system integrating unit integrates the component data to related production planning or production operating system, thereby ensuring that components required during product assembly and procurement processes comply with the related standard.

8. A component data collecting method for collecting component data required for product assembly and component procurement via a component data collecting system, the component data collecting method comprising the steps of:
-
(1) verifying access right of at least one component supplier via the component data collecting system, and after verification, collecting component data inputted by the component supplier and storing the component data in a data register of the component data collecting system;
(2) examining via the component data collecting system whether the component data stored in the data register comply with approved regulation by comparing the component data with predetermined examination standard, if the component data comply with the approved regulation, going to step (3), or else, continuing to examine a next record of component data;
(3) assigning via the component data collecting system an identification number to the component data that comply with the examination standard, and setting the component data as standard component data and storing the standard component data in a product data section of the component data collecting system; and
(4) integrating the standard component data stored in the product data section to a production management system via the component data collecting system. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
