Abrégé

A method and a system records machining information associated with insulating panels manufactured in a continuous machining line. Machining units carry out machining operations on a panel body moved along the line, between an inlet and an outlet, from a start-production unit at the line inlet. The insulating panels are manufactured by making predetermined cuts in the panel body, at the line outlet. Each machining unit is controlled by a respective electronic control unit. The method generates and prints unique graphic representation identification codes, or Data Matrix codes. A panel body portion to be machined is identified. The Data Matrix codes printed on the panel body to be machined are identified when the panel body portions pass through the machining unit. Machining information is acquired and associated with the detected Data Matrix code. The acquired machining information and associated code are sent to a main processing unit connected.

Abrégé

The invention refers to a method (200) and a system (1000) for recording machining information associated with insulating panels (11) manufactured in a continuous machining line (1). Such machining line comprises one or more machining units (102, 103, 104) adapted to carry out machining operations on a panel body (10) moved along the line, between an inlet (IN) and an outlet (OUT) of the line, from a start-production unit (101) arranged at an inlet of the line. The insulating panels are manufactured by making cuts in the panel body, according to a predetermined measurement, at the outlet of the continuous machining line. Each of such one or more machining units is controlled by a respective electronic control unit (2, 3, 4) of the machining operations carried out. The method comprises the steps of: - generating (201), by a first electronic control unit (5), a plurality of unique graphic representation identification codes (7), e.g., Data Matrix codes, identifying a panel body portion to be machined; - printing (202) such Data Matrix codes on an outer surface of the panel body; each new Data Matrix code is printed on the panel body portion to be machined, identified thereby after the panel body has been moved by a predetermined distance, so that the new identification code (7) and the previously printed identification code are separated from each other by said predetermined distance; - detecting (203), in succession, the Data Matrix codes printed on the outer surface of the panel body to be machined, when such panel body portions pass through the at least one machining unit (102, 103, 104); - acquiring (204) information of machining operations carried out on the panel body portion identified by the detected Data Matrix code; - associating (205) said acquired machining information with the detected Data Matrix code; - sending (206) said acquired machining information and the Data Matrix code associated therewith, to a main processing unit (20) connected with the at least one electronic control unit (2, 3, 4) to be stored in a memory (21).
