Abstract
Disclosed are a control method and a control device for a smart factory, the method comprising the steps of: determining and outputting a movement route of a smart logistics vehicle; checking the location of the smart logistics vehicle, and outputting a first control signal corresponding to the location; and checking the interlock state while the smart logistics vehicle is moving, and outputting or postponing, on the basis of the interlock state, a second control signal for stopping the smart logistics vehicle.
Claims20
A control method of a smart factory, the method including:
- determining a movement route of a smart logistics vehicle destined for a specific area based on an inputted production information and outputting the determined movement route;
- identifying a location of the smart logistics vehicle travelling along the movement route and outputting a first control signal corresponding to the identified location of the smart logistics vehicle to a process controller corresponding to the specific area;
- and
- identifying an interlock state corresponding to an entry requirement of the specific area from the process controller based on the outputted first control signal during the movement of the smart logistics vehicle and outputting or holding a second control signal which enables stopping the smart logistics vehicle based on the interlock state.
A control device of a smart factory, the device including:
- a communication unit communicating with at least one process controller;
- and
- a task schedule management unit controlling the communication unit, determining a movement route of a smart logistics vehicle destined for a specific area based on an inputted production information and outputting the determined movement route, identifying a location of the smart logistics vehicle travelling along the movement route, and outputting a first control signal corresponding to the identified location of the smart logistics vehicle to the process controller corresponding to the specific area,
- wherein the task schedule management unit identifies an interlock state corresponding to an entry requirement of the specific area from the process controller based on the outputted first control signal during the movement of the smart logistics vehicle and outputs or holds a second control signal which enables stopping the smart logistics vehicle based on the interlock state.
