Abstract

This invention relates to a control system for enterprise production based on inventory data. Said system is comprised of a central processing system and a or more data collection terminal to exchange data with the central processing system; the said data collection terminal collects the incoming/discharging data of all goods delivered to the said central processing system, which is used to make statistics, analysis and storage; the said central processing system is set up with a real-time inventory database, an optimum analysis database, a data statistics unit, an optimum analysis unit, a data store and output unit, a manual input device and a central control unit. This system could not only make a collection and statistics of warehouse data, but also optimize and control the inventory method, storage, and inventory time of goods according to the enterprise'"'"'s operation status, and give an alarm when optimum problem occurs. This system is favorable to enhance the enterprise'"'"'s overall operation and management level.

Claims

1. A control system for enterprise production based on inventory data, comprising

a central processing system;

and

one or more data collection terminals which exchange data with the central processing system,

wherein said data collection terminal collects incoming/discharging data of all goods and delivers the data to the central processing system, which counts the data to obtain statistics and store it,

wherein the central processing system includes a real-time inventory database, a optimum analysis database, a data statistics unit, an optimum analysis unit, a data store and output unit, a manual input device and a central control unit,

wherein the data statistics unit is operable to obtain the incoming/discharging data of all goods collected by data terminal, read corresponding data in real-time inventory database to make statistical calculation, acquire storage data, incoming/discharging time data and goods character data of all goods, and deliver these data to the real-time inventory database and store them in the data store and output unit,

wherein the optimum analysis unit reads the storage data, incoming/discharging time data and goods character data of all goods in the real-time inventory database, reads optimum program and optimum parameter of optimum analysis database to make optimum calculation including;

when the relevant material on one production line is disproportionate, to generate proportional imbalance information of the production line, when the storage of one goods exceeds the upper limit of optimum storage, generates a overstocking signal of the goods, when the storage of one goods is less than the lower limit of optimum storage, to generate stock-out signal and when the inventory time of one goods is achieving the alarm time, to generate an alarm signal of overtime inventory and save the signal in optimum analysis database to stock and display the alarm through the data store and output unit,

wherein the data store and output unit is operable to receive data from the data statistics unit, the optimum analysis unit and the manual input device, and deliver the data to the relevant database for stock, or to read data in a corresponding database and display the data according to an instruction from the natural data statistics unit, the optimum analysis unit and the manual input device, and

wherein the central control unit controls coordination among the data statistics unit, the optimum analysis unit, the data store and output unit and the manual input device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the central control system includes a classification database and a location distribution unit for inventory zoning management, wherein the classification database is used to store the goods zoning warehouse capacity and goods location occupation data of a controlled warehouse, wherein the said location distribution unit reads the relevant goods zoning warehouse capacity data and goods location occupation data to distribute location of the relevant zone for stock based on the incoming/discharging goods character data.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the incoming/discharging data collection terminal is used to collect incoming/discharging information and transfer the information to the central processing system;

supported by the classification database and real-time inventory database, the central processing system determines the store area and location of incoming, sends a goods store instruction to operators or an automatic transfer device and records the incoming goods data into the real-time inventory database when goods are stocked in the warehouse;

when goods are discharged from warehouse, a discharge instruction is input to the central processing system manually or mechanically, then, the central processing system reads the data of real-time inventory database, determines the location of discharged goods based on the standard of “

first in, first out” and

send the goods extraction instruction to operators or an automatic transfer device;

when goods are really discharged from warehouse, the central processing system records the discharging data from the incoming/discharging data collection terminal into the real-time inventory database.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the incoming/discharging information is collected through a mobile or fixed barcode recognizer and manually outputted according to practical situation of all goods.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the data collection terminal communicates with the central processing system by a wired or wireless method.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the data collection terminal is a mobile barcode recognizer equipped with a displayer to show the barcode information and the inventory management information.

7. The system of claim 6, further comprising a manual input device to input information manually.

8. The system of claim 7, further comprising a network controller, wherein the network controller communicates with the central processing system and the barcode recognizer respectively by a wire or wireless method, transfers the information from the central processing system to the barcode recognizer and transfers the information collected by the code recognizer to the central processing system.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the network controller includes a wire network communication port and links the central processing system through the communication port and wire networks to converse and optimize the communication protocol between the central processing system and the mobile barcode recognizer.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the central processing system obtains the information from the mobile barcode recognizer by the network controller and sends the inventory management information to the mobile barcode recognizer.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the said central processing system and the network controller communicate with each other using a TCP/IP Protocol.

12. The system of claim 3, wherein the incoming/discharging information is collected through a mobile or fixed barcode recognizer and manually outputted according to practical situation of all goods.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the data collection terminal communicates with the central processing system by a wired or wireless method.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the said data collection terminal is a mobile barcode recognizer equipped with a displayer to show the barcode information and the inventory management information.

15. The system of claim 14, further comprising a manual input device to input information manually.

16. The system of claim 15, further comprising a network controller, wherein the network controller communicates with the central processing system and the barcode recognizer respectively by a wire or wireless method, transfers the information from the central processing system to the barcode recognizer and transfers the information collected by the code recognizer to the central processing system.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the network controller includes a wire network communication port and links the central processing system through the communication port and wire networks to converse and optimize the communication protocol between the central processing system and the mobile barcode recognizer.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the central processing system obtains the information from the mobile barcode recognizer by the network controller and sends the inventory management information to the mobile barcode recognizer.
