  • Publication number: 20230420406
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention discloses an intelligent dispensing adjustment system and the method thereof. The system can dynamically detect the fluid dispensing amount of a fluid dispensing unit via a calculating unit having an intelligent dispensing mechanism and keeps monitoring the dispensing situation of the fluid material so as to automatically adjust the fluid dispensing amount of the fluid dispensing unit. The system can adjust the fluid dispensing amount of the fluid dispensing unit by obtaining the information of the state of previously dispensing the fluid material via a closed loop, which can solve the problems, of prior art, that the defects of products may be incurred because the state of the fluid material is hard to control (e.g., the fluid material is insufficient or overflows).

  • Patent number: 11854055
    Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for identifying anomalies within a time series. In some examples, a computing device receives sales data identifying a sale of at least one item, and aggregates the received data in a database. The computing device may generate a plurality of time series based on the aggregated sales data. The computing device may extract features from the plurality of time series, and generate an alerting algorithm that is based on clusters of the extracted features. The computing device may apply the alerting algorithm to a time series generated from received sales data to determine whether the time series is an anomaly. Based on the determination, the computing device may generate and transmit anomaly data identifying whether the time series is an anomaly, such as to another computing device.

  • Publication number: 20230405629
    Abstract: The present invention provides a dispensing adjustment system, which includes an optical measuring unit, a calculating unit and a glue dispensing control unit. The optical measuring unit measures a glue to obtain a Nth 3D glue signal or a Nth 2D glue signal. The calculating unit receives the Nth 3D glue signal or the Nth 2D glue signal to obtain the volume or the weight of the glue, and compares the volume or the weight of the glue with a default glue value. If the volume or the weight of the glue fails to conform to the default glue value, the calculating unit transmits a Nth glue dispensing adjustment signal to a glue dispensing control unit for the glue dispensing control unit to adjust the glue supplied thereby according to the Nth glue dispensing adjustment signal. The invention can solve the problem that the glue is insufficient or overflows in order to improve the bonding quality.
