MATRIX PRODUCTION SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A matrix production system for a production line includes a plurality of processing units, a controller, and a plurality of detectors. Each processing unit covers a plurality of stations having the same or similar functions. Each station has a detector. The controller sets an initial flowchart during process of industrial production and a known first reference capacity for each station. A current number of workpieces at each station is detected. The controller compares the current number with the first reference capacity to determine an overburdened station or otherwise and then analyzes a running state of overburdened station determined as being overburdened to establish a malfunctioning station, and if malfunctioning, switches the flow of workpieces from the malfunctioning station to a station with the greatest amount of available or free capacity.
