    The invention relates to a method for manufacturing brushes using at least one brush manufacturing machine.
    Furthermore, the invention also relates to the use of a brush manufacturing machine when carrying out such a method and to a brush manufacturing machine which is set up for use in carrying out the method.
    Furthermore, the invention relates to a brush production network which has at least one such brush production machine and at least one PPS system (production planning and control system).
    The technical availability of the production facilities, systems and machines used, in particular the technical availability of brush manufacturing machines, plays a special role for efficient brush production. Unplanned downtimes or downtimes of the brush manufacturing machines used are particularly harmful for economical production. Unscheduled downtimes that reduce the technical availability can occur, for example, if the brush manufacturing machines fail due to wear and / or if production material that is processed on the brush manufacturing machines during the production of brushes is used up unexpectedly.
    In practice, there are various approaches to avoid unplanned downtimes. However, these require special attention from the operator of the brushes used in brush production.
    manufacturing machines and are therefore potentially prone to errors. For example, on the basis of production plans and operating times of the brush manufacturing machines, the demand for production material and the expected need for wearing parts are forecast on the one hand, and both the production material and the wear parts that are expected to be required are kept to a corresponding extent. However, as soon as the actual requirements deviate from the forecast requirements, there can be unplanned downtimes and failures of the systems and machines used in the manufacture of the brushes, which, particularly in the case of interlinked brush production, lead to a significant reduction in the overall availability of the systems involved and machines and thus can impair production performance.
    The object of the invention is therefore to provide a method, the use of a brush manufacturing machine, a brush manufacturing machine and a brush production network of the type mentioned at the beginning, which enable a more economical production of brushes.
    To solve this problem, a method for producing brushes using at least one brush production machine is first proposed, which has the means and features of the independent claim directed to such a method. In particular, a method for manufacturing brushes using at least one brush manufacturing machine is thus proposed, in which a stock of at least one production material available to the brush manufacturing machine and / or a degree of wear of at least one wear part of the brush manufacturing machine is / are monitored, in which a PPS system orders autonomous replenishment of the required production material when the monitored inventory reaches or falls below a defined limit, and / or at which one or the aforementioned PPS system autonomously orders a replacement part for the wearing part, if the degree of wear of the wearing part is one reaches or falls below the defined limit.
    The limit value X of the inventory of production material can be defined depending on an expected delivery time of replenishment and / or taking into account a production program. The limit value Y of the degree of wear of the at least one monitored wear part can be defined as a function of an expected procurement time for a replacement part for the wear part and / or taking into account a production program. With the method according to the invention, the actual need for production material and / or wearing parts can thus be determined, preferably in real time. Through the autonomously triggered ordering of the replenishment of the required production material and / or a required replacement part for a wearing part, valuable time can be saved, which in the previously known brush manufacturing processes for an analysis of the available stock and carried out by an operator and / or production planner / or a degree of wear of a wear part of the at least one brush manufacturing machine, for a prognosis of how long the brush production can be continued taking into account the determined actual state, and had to be used for the reordering of the required replenishment and / or the required wear part. With the help of monitoring the degree of wear of at least one wear part of the brush manufacturing machine, which is preferably carried out in real time, unplanned downtimes and / or downtimes of the brush manufacturing machine, which can occur due to wear,
    largely reduced or even completely avoided. When using multiple, interlinked brush manufacturing machines for the production of brushes, such a monitoring of the inventory of the production material and / or the degree of wear of at least one wear part of the respective brush manufacturing machine can be particularly advantageous in order to ensure the overall availability of such a machine to increase several brush manufacturing machines comprehensive production network. The monitoring can preferably be carried out on several or all of the brush production machines of such a production network. In the context of the claimed technical teaching, production material is understood to mean any material that is used in the manufacture of brushes. Thus, the term “production material” can be used to summarize raw materials, semi-finished products, semi-finished products and / or semi-products that become part of the brushes to be manufactured. Production material in the sense of the claimed technical teaching are also such auxiliary and operating materials that are used and / or used by the brush manufacturing machine in the production of brushes. An ERP system (Enterprise Resource Planning System) can of course also be used as the PPS system.
    In an advantageous embodiment of the method, it is provided that at least one brush production machine sends and / or exchanges information relating to the inventory and / or the degree of wear to the PPS system via a data interface.
    In this way, the at least one brush manufacturing machine can collect the information necessary for monitoring the stock of production material available to the brush manufacturing machine and / or the degree of wear of at least one wear part of the brush manufacturing machine and can process it for further processing via the data interface Make the PPS system available. Via the data interface, the brush production machine can be provided with information that it can use for further processing and that can take into account the inventory and / or degree of wear information.
    It can be particularly advantageous if information relating to the stock is converted into order information that represents the production material that is specifically required. Information regarding the remaining stock of production material can be converted into the order information by the at least one brush manufacturing machine and / or by the PPS system. The conversion of the information regarding the stock into the order information can take place taking into account the production order currently being processed, one to be processed next and / or another.
    In an analogous manner, information relating to a monitored degree of wear can also be converted into order information that takes into account the specific order processed, an order to be processed next or another order to be processed.
    The autonomously ordered production material can be outsourced by an automated storage system from a warehouse, in particular from a warehouse of an operator of the brush manufacturing machine, and / or delivered to the brush manufacturing machine. The autonomously ordered production material can be delivered by means of a, preferably automated, transport system. Delivery can be completely autonomous.
    It is also possible to outsource the autonomously ordered replacement part from an automated storage system, for example from the previously mentioned automated storage system, from a warehouse, for example from the previously mentioned warehouse, and / or to deliver it to the brush production machine. A preferably automated transport system, for example the one already mentioned above, can be used. Here, too, delivery can take place completely autonomously.
    First, it can be checked whether the requested order can be served from a warehouse accessible to an operator of the at least one brush manufacturing machine. This check can be carried out in particular using the PPS system. If the requested order can be serviced from the warehouse accessible to the operator of the at least one brush manufacturing machine, the order can be serviced from this warehouse. If the check shows that it is not possible to service the order from this warehouse, the order and / or an inquiry regarding the order can be sent to another warehouse and / or to a supplier and / or manufacturer of the required production material and / or the required wearing part. The forwarding of the order and / or the request relating to the order can particularly preferably also be carried out autonomously by means of the PPS system.
    Of course, it is also possible to direct the order and / or an inquiry of the order directly to a manufacturer and / or supplier of the wear part and / or production material required in each case.
    An order processing system of the respective supplier and / or manufacturer can send an acknowledgment of receipt and / or a message regarding the delivery time and / or costs of the requested order to the
    Send the operator's PPS system. This in particular to release or confirm the order requested from the manufacturer and / or supplier.
    The message may contain information regarding the delivery time and / or cost of the order. Furthermore, it is possible to check the message, which is preferably transmitted autonomously by the order processing system, by a control and release authority of the operator of the brush manufacturing machine and to confirm or withdraw the order depending on the result of the check. For example, the operator's PPS system and / or an operator of the brush manufacturing machine can serve as a control and release instance for the operator of the brush manufacturing machine.
    For better production planning, it can be advantageous if, based on a determined remaining stock of production material and / or on the basis of a determined degree of wear, a wear part of the brush manufacturing machine is informed of how long the brush manufacturing machine without replenishment of production material and / or without a replacement part for the wearing part can still be operated. This message can be transmitted to an end device of an operator of the brush manufacturing machine in order to automatically and continuously inform the operator of the state of the brush manufacturing machine within his area of responsibility. This message can occur, for example, by the brush manufacturing machine itself and / or by the PPS system.
    The degree of wear of the at least one wear part of the brush production machine can be determined at least indirectly, preferably autonomously and / or continuously, with the aid of a degree of wear determination device.

    To send information regarding a degree of wear of at least one wear part 4 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 to a PPS system 5 and / or to exchange it between the brush manufacturing machine 1 and the PPS system 5. The brush manufacturing machine 1 also has a degree of wear determination device 6 and an inventory monitoring device 7. The degree of wear determination device 6 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 is set up to determine or monitor the degree of wear of at least one wearing part 4 of the brush manufacturing machine 1. For this purpose, the degree of wear determination 6 is equipped with at least one corresponding sensor 8.
    The inventory monitoring device 7 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 is set up to monitor an inventory of production material that is immediately available to the brush manufacturing machine 1 for manufacturing brushes 3. The inventory monitoring device 7 is also equipped with several corresponding sensors 9 for this purpose. The sensors 9 for inventory monitoring are pressure sensors and are explained in more detail below.
    At this point it should be mentioned that both the degree of wear determination device 6 and the inventory monitoring device 7 as sensors 8 and 9 can also each have at least one camera. It is conceivable that the inventory monitoring device 7 and the degree of wear determination device 6 also have a corresponding measuring device, by means of which an inventory of production material or a degree of wear of the at least one wear part 4 can be inferred at least indirectly.
    The aforementioned brush manufacturing machine 1 is set up for use in the method for manufacturing brushes 3 described below. The result of this process is the production of brushes
    3rd
    In the method for producing brushes 3 using the brush manufacturing machine 1, an inventory 10 of at least one production material available for the brush manufacturing machine 1 and a degree of wear 11 of the at least one previously mentioned wear part 4 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 are monitored. Depending on the determined conditions, both replacement parts for the monitored wear part 4 and replenishment of the required production material are ordered autonomously and delivered to the brush production machine 1.
    Production material in the context of the described method can be raw materials, semi-finished products, auxiliary materials, operating materials, semi-finished products and / or semi-products. In very general terms, production material can thus be understood to mean material that is required by the brush manufacturing machine 1 in the manufacture of the brushes 3 and / or is processed into the product to be manufactured, namely the brush 3. As soon as the monitored inventory 10 of production material reaches or falls below a defined limit value X, the PPS system 5 autonomously replenishes the required production material. In the embodiment of the brush manufacturing machine 1 shown in the figures, the monitored production material is bristle filaments 12. These bristle filaments 12 are
    Bristle bundles are combined and fastened with the aid of a stuffing tool 13 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 to a bristle carrier 3a of a brush 3, which for this purpose is held clamped on a holder of the brush manufacturing machine 1, cf. Fig. 2.
    For this purpose, the bristle filaments 12 are kept ready on the brush manufacturing machine 1 in a material box 14 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 and are removed from the material box 14 in bundles using a bundle divider 15 and transferred to the stuffing tool 13. The bundle divider 15 has a compartment notch 15a with which it is pivoted past the material box 14 to remove bundles of bristles from the material box 14. Bristle filaments 12 get into the compartment notch 15a, are combined into a bristle bundle and transferred to the stuffing tool 13 with the bundle divider 15. With the aid of the stuffing tool 13, the bristle bundles together with bundle anchors are then successively stuffed into the bristle holder of the brush 3 to be produced, which is kept ready. The bundle anchors are fed to the tamping tool 13 by means of an anchor feed device 13a. As soon as the degree of wear of the wear part 4, here, for example, the bundle compartment 15, reaches or falls below a defined limit value Y, the PPS system 5 autonomously orders a replacement part for the wear part 4. In the present exemplary embodiment, this is a new bundle compartment 15 Exchange part ready in time to replace the wear part 4 when the progressive wear of the wear part 4 no longer permits the continued production of brushes 3.
    In this way, unnecessary downtimes or waiting times and unplanned failures of the brush manufacturing machine 1 can be reduced or even completely avoided.
    In this context, the brush manufacturing machine 1 exchanges information regarding the inventory 10 and the degree of wear 11 with the PPS system 5 via the previously mentioned data interface 2.
    Here, information relating to the stock 10 of production material available is converted by the brush manufacturing machine 1 and / or by the PPS system 5 into order information. The order information can be generated taking into account the production plan, in particular the order currently being processed and an order to be processed next. In a comparable manner, information relating to the degree of wear 11 can also be converted into specific order information. Here, too, the production program is taken into account, as explained above. The order information then represents the production material specifically required for the continuation of production and / or a replacement part for the wear part 4 specifically required for the further production.
    The ordered production material and / or the ordered replacement part for the wearing part 4 is / are then outsourced by an automated storage system 16 from a storage 17 of an operator 1a of the brush manufacturing machine 1 and delivered to the brush manufacturing machine 1. An automated transport system 18 is preferably used for this. Before this, the PPS system 5 is used to check whether the order can be operated from the warehouse 17 accessible to the operator 1a of the brush manufacturing machine 1. If the order from the warehouse 17 can be serviced, the requested material, that is the replacement part for the wear part 4 and / or the required production material from this warehouse 17, is delivered to the brush manufacturing machine 1.
    This is done largely or even completely autonomously in the manner described above using the automated storage system 16 and the automated transport system 18.
    If the check shows that the required order from the warehouse 17, which is directly accessible to the operator 1a of the brush manufacturing machine 1, cannot be serviced, the order and / or an inquiry 24 regarding the order by means of the PPS system 5 autonomously forwarded to another warehouse or to a supplier and / or manufacturer 19 of the required production material and / or the required wear part 4.
    An order processing system 20 from the supplier and / or manufacturer 19 accepts the order or the request 24 relating to the order and generates an acknowledgment of receipt and a message 25 with information on the delivery time and cost of the order to the PPS system 5 of the operator 1a of the brush manufacturing machine 1. This in order to obtain a release or confirmation of the delivery of the requested order from the operator 1a of the brush manufacturing machine 1.
    The message 25 transmitted by the order processing system 20 of the supplier and / or manufacturer 19 is checked by a control and release instance 21 of the operator 1a of the brush manufacturing machine 1, which can be part of the PPS system 5.
    At the same time, a responsible person 21a can also receive the message 25, which contains the information relating to the delivery time and / or costs of the requested order, and check it as a higher-level entity.
    Depending on the result of the check of the order, the order is then confirmed by person 21a and the delivery of the required material or wearing part is commissioned or withdrawn.
    The responsible person 21A can be an operator of the brush manufacturing machine 1, for example. Furthermore, on the basis of a determined remaining inventory of production material and on the basis of a determined degree of wear of the wear part 4, a message is output as to how long the brush manufacturing machine 1 can still be operated without replenishment of production material and / or without a replacement part for the wear part 4. This message can be output by the brush manufacturing machine 1 or by the PPS system 5. The message is transmitted to an end device 22, for example to a smartphone or a tablet computer, of an operator 21a of the brush manufacturing machine 11 in order to inform the latter about the current production status. The message 21 relating to the operator 21a is also received on this terminal 22.
    The delivery time and costs of an autonomously issued order are displayed for approval and confirmation of the order. The operator 21a can confirm the order and release the order for the delivery of the requested material via the terminal 22.
    The degree of wear 11 of the monitored wear part 4 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 is determined at least indirectly with the aid of the degree of wear determination device 6 of the brush manufacturing machine 1. For this purpose, the degree of wear determination device 6 has, as already mentioned above, at least one sensor 8, at least one measuring device and / or at least one camera as sensor 8 or uses such a sensor.
    The degree of wear 11 of the bundle divider 15 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 can be determined at least indirectly on the basis of the quality of bristle bundles divided off with the bundle divider 15. It is also conceivable to determine the degree of wear 11 of the bundle compartment 15
    bar to perform a measurement of the mechanical resistance when moving the bundle compartment 15. The quality of the divided bristle bundles is checked with the aid of a camera which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, functions as a sensor 8 of the degree of wear determination device 6. Further refinements for determining the degrees of wear of various wear parts 4 of a brush manufacturing machine 1 have already been explained in detail in the general part of the description and can be implemented with appropriately designed brush manufacturing machines 1.
    Depending on the specific embodiment of the brush manufacturing machine 1, individual or all of the wear parts mentioned above in the general description part can be monitored with the aid of appropriate sensors by the wear degree determination device 6 with regard to their degree of wear 11 and, if necessary, replaced in good time before a wear-related failure.
    In order to be able to monitor the stock 10 of production material, namely bristle material or bristle filaments 12 in the material box 14 of the brush manufacturing machine 1, the stock monitoring device 7 has a plurality of sensors 9 in the form of pressure sensors. The sensors 9 are arranged on or in the material box 14 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 such that the pressure applied to them by the bristle filaments / the bristle material indicates the fill level of the material box 14 and thus the existing stock 10 of bristle filaments 12 as production material can be.
    The material box 14 has three material channels in which bristle filaments 12 are kept as production material.
    One of the sensors 9 for inventory monitoring is arranged in a side bar 14b of each material channel.
    In addition, counterparts 14a assigned to the material box 14 are equipped with sensors 9.
    The pressure generated by the bristle filaments 12 in the material box 14 is registered by the sensors 9 and reported to the inventory monitoring device 7.
    The inventory monitoring device 7 can determine the inventory 10 of bristle filaments 12, which is available in the material box 14, from the determined pressure.
    Also in relation to the functioning of the inventory monitoring device 7, further configurations are explained in more detail in the general part of the description, which, depending on the configuration of the brush production machine 1 and the method, can be used individually or in combination.
    The method can be used to prevent the inventory 10 of production material from dropping to such an extent that the brush production has to be stopped.
    Furthermore, an unplanned, wear-related and, above all, unplanned failure of the brush manufacturing machine 1 can be avoided with the method by the timely replacement of at least one wear part 4 of the brush manufacturing machine 1.
    As a result, the technical availability of the brush manufacturing machine 1 can be maximized.
    The aforementioned brush production machine 1 is part of a brush production network 23. In this brush production network 23, the brush production machine 1, the PPS system 5, the degree of wear determination device 6, the inventory monitoring device 7, the storage system 16, the bearing 17, the transport system 18 as well as the supplier and / or manufacturer 19 with his order processing system 20 connected to one another in terms of information technology in order to carry out the previously described method for producing brushes 3 taking into account the inventory of available production material and / or the degree of wear of the at least one wear part 4 perform together. The limit value X of the stock 10 of production material can be defined as a function of an expected delivery time of replenishment and / or taking into account the production program. The limit value Y of the degree of wear 11 of the at least one monitored wear part 4 can be defined as a function of a procurement time for a replacement part for the wear part 4 and / or taking into account the production program.
    The invention is concerned with improvements in the technical field of brush production. For this purpose, among other things, a method for producing brushes 3 using at least one brush manufacturing machine 1 is proposed, in which a PPS system 5, which is preferably connected to the brush manufacturing machine 1, is autonomous, that is to say, replenishes the required production material independently, for example of the bristle material required, ordered when a monitored stock 10 of the production material, which the brush manufacturing machine 1 can use to produce the brushes 3, reaches or falls below a defined limit value X. The PPS system 5 can also autonomously order a replacement part for a wear part 4 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 if the degree of wear of this wear part 4 reaches or falls below a defined limit value Y.
