Definitions
- TITLE METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DOWNLOADING DATA FROM A MACHINE
- This invention relates to a data information retrieval system. More specifically, this invention relates to a method and apparatus for downloading data from a meat processing machine to a handheld or remote device and then sending that information to a controller such as a personal computer (PC) to generate reports.
- a controller such as a personal computer (PC) to generate reports.
- PC personal computer
- This manual recording and calculation process allows for human error in the taking of information and also causes a need for an individual to continually monitor and take information to a computer to input the data.
- a device that will allow for information to be automatically transferred to the device from a machine so that the device may be used as an intermediary to transmit the machine information to other sources such as a computer.
- the following specifications should be present: 1. Ability to be able to transfer files to a controller such as a PC. 2. Ability to be able to print this information out from the controller. 3. Ability to retrieve data from numerous machines in one plant. 4. The handheld unit or remote device could be proprietary to the specific machines. 5. Additional information from a display such as a touch screen may need to be transferred such as time, pressure settings, initials of the person gathering the data, name of product being run, recipe, etc.
- Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide an intermediate handheld device that is able to retrieve information from a display such as time, pressure settings, initials of person gathering the data, the name of the product being run, the recipe, and other such information.
- This invention involves a method and means for downloading data from a machine, for example, in order to extract operational data from the machine by wireless or hard wire means.
- the features of this invention are: 1. A system that would allow information to be downloaded or transferred from a machine into an intermediary device such as a handheld device. 2. Information on the intermediary device that can be downloaded to a controller. 3. Information that can be viewed or printed as documents or reports. (The information could consist of the information shown on the "Management Information Screen" of the touch screen.) 4. Options of methods to transfer information from the machine to the
- handheld device include, but are not limited to: Infrared Frequency transfer (IR) Radio Frequency transfer (RF) Cable connection transfer
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the device of the present invention
- Fig. 2 is a schematic view of the device of the present invention.
- the present invention involves a system of information retrieval 10.
- the system has at least one machine 12 having a display such as a touch screen or PLC 14 that governs its information.
- an intermediary device such as a handheld control unit 16 that is operatively associated with the touch screen or PLC such i that it can be selectively actuated to download data from the touch screen or PLC.
- the handheld control 16 can have its own screen 18 such that an operator can view the information from the machine 12 that is to be transmitted.
- the handheld control unit 16 transmits information taken from the machine 12 to at least one controller such as a personal computer (PC) 20 that can have a printer 22 operably connected thereto to print out the information retrieved.
- PC personal computer
- the method for downloading data from the machine 12 involves taking the handheld control unit 16 that is operably associated with the touch screen or PLC 14 that can be selectively actuated to download data from the touch screen or PLC 14 to a PC 20 such to transmit this information to the PC to be viewed and/or printed.
- information is transmitted from the touch screen or PLC 14 to the handheld control unit 16 and then transmitted from the handheld control unit 16 to the PC.
- the machine 12 is a meat processing machine that processes information on its touch screen 14 such as the amount of time that the device runs, the pressure settings of the device, initials of the person gathering the data, the name of the product being run, the recipe being used to make the product, or any other information regarding the meat product being processed.
- the handheld control 16 can be hardwired to the PC 20 or could be connected to the PC via a wireless system. Similarly, the handheld control 16 can be hardwired to the touch screen or PLC 14.
- the handheld device 16 can be a PALM unit that is associated with the PC 20 and either hardwired to an auxiliary port or an IR data port, and downloaded to a standard format, Excel, Word, Lotus, or WordPad. This information is not able to be manipulated but just viewed and printed out.
- the data is downloaded in the PC 20 from the handheld device 16 that the information can be viewed or printed as documents or reports. Optionally, this information could be entitled "Management Information Screen" on the screen 18 of the handheld device 16.
- the handheld unit 16 can be proprietary to a specific machine 12, and will be able to receive data from numerous machines within one plant. For instance, six machines could transmit information at one time to the handheld device 16.
- the handheld device 16 can transmit information to a plurality of different computers 20.
