模具是一種可以大量生產及標準化產品的工具,並有快速生產、品質精良與生產價格低廉之特性。模具是工業產品大量生產所依賴的工具,所以模具業有著機械工業之母的稱號。 模具的應用範圍廣泛,例如機械設備、汽車零件、電子零件、塑膠製品等等,都和模具的應用有關。所以模具是工業最基本的利器,並且模具的技術也是衡量一個國家工業水準的基準。 模具是必需符合客戶的需求而加以訂製而成,模具的製作過程主要是將客戶的圖面資料,經由圖面設計師設計圖面資料,繪製出模具組立圖,其中包含了組成一副模具的所有零件圖。零件圖產生後再列出零件清單及加工資料,再將加工資料交給加工人員作加工的動作。而這期間整副模具所產生的圖面及文件資料相當地繁雜。隨著科技進步,所有產品都已朝輕薄短小的趨勢來製造。並且產品的生命週期日漸縮短,使得模具的開發過程必須在短時間內完成。 本研究實作一模具製作監視系統,並設計一記錄流程來記錄模具製作時的相關資料,再提供相關的查詢功能使模具的製作過程透明化,可讓使用者掌握模具即時的模具製作資料及進度等訊息,以降低模具製作時所花費的模具製作進度追蹤時間,並且配合預警的機制來告知使用者,來減少模具交期延遲的狀況發生。
Molds are the tools that allow the mass production and standardization of products, meanwhile they add the features of speedy production, fine quality and low production costs. Molds are the tools that the industrial product manufacturers rely on the most for mass production; therefore the mold industry has the reputation as “the mother of the mechanical industry”. The mold applications are widely used, for instance mechanical equipment, auto parts, electronic parts and plastic products etc., in which they all relate to mold applications. Molds are the most basic tools for the industry, also the mold technology used is a measure for the standard of a country’s industrial level. Molds must be customized based on the clients’ demands. Their major production process begins with the mold assembly drawing, thru the design drawings by the graphic designers which are according to clients’ graphic documentation, including all component drawings for an entire assembled mold. Once the component drawings are made, then comes the components list and process information, and then these are passed to the process personnel for the process operation. The drawings and the documents for the entire mold are quite complicated throughout the above-mentioned period. By the advancement of the technology, all the products are produced aiming at the trends of light, thin, short and small. Moreover, the life cycle of the products are shortened gradually, thus the molds’ development process must be completed in a short period. This research exclusively made an actual monitor system for the mold production, and designed a record procedure to record the relevant information for the mold production, then provided the related query functions to open up the mold production process, allowing the users to handle the messages such as instant mold production information and progress etc., in order to decrease the cost for progress tracking time of the mold production, and to inform the users with an associated alert mechanism, thus reducing the opportunity for a delay in the delivery.
