Storing article precise position information retrieving system and method

Abstract

The invention provides an information retrieval system for the accurate storage position of stock articles and the method thereof. The system of the invention includes two parts of hardware and software. The hardware comprises six parts including a microcomputer for system management and data processing, a radio signal receiver, a plurality of special warehouse entry radio scanners, a plurality of special warehouse exit radio scanners, bar codes on an article storage rack layer, and bar codes of articles. The software comprises three subprograms including system management, data processing and inquiry display. The invention has the fundamental principle that the bar codes attached on the stock articles and the bar codes on the article storage rack layer are scanned through the radio scanners, after the analysis and the processing of the computer, the relation between each stock article and the storage rack layer is created, and the sequence information among the articles is confirmed, thereby obtaining the accurate storage position information of all stock articles, wherein, the information includes six level information including the building number, the floor number, the room number, the rack number, the rack layer number, and the sequence number of each layer where the article is positioned. The invention is characterized in that all stock articles do not need to sort and separate and stock in a fixed position, and the mixed positioning of various articles cannot influence the accuracy of the system information. In addition, the usage of the invention can reduce the workload for the article entry/exit warehouse, thereby improving the working efficiency of the entry/exit warehouse, and improving the space utilization rate of the storage rack.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an information retrieval system and method, in particular to an information retrieval system and method for accurate storage location information of inventory items. Background technique [0002] Entering the information age, the development of science and technology is changing with each passing day, new products emerge in an endless stream, the storage and flow of items are also increasing day by day, and the workload of items entering and leaving the warehouse has increased exponentially. The current status of warehouse management is: warehouses with a certain reserve have basically realized computer management and information retrieval of inventory items. The existing computer information retrieval system can collect some information records of the inventory items by scanning the barcodes attached to the inbound and outbound items. The current defects of this system are: 1) Only part of the storage location information of t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The existing computer information retrieval system can collect some information records of the inventory items by scanning the barcodes attached to the inbound and outbound items. The current defects of this system are: 1) Only part of the storage location information of the inventory items can be retrieved , the precise storage location of each item cannot be known with certainty

2) It is time-consuming and troublesome to leave the warehouse: for each item to be released from the warehouse, you must find the warehouse number, floor number, room number, and shelf number in order of the size and category of the item, and then find the item you are looking for one by one according to the characteristic information of the item

3) The storage of items is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the workload is heavy: the returned or newly purchased items are sorted and sorted one by one by a special person according to the characteristics of the items, and then sent to the storage location of the specified category in batches with a turnover trolley.

4) There is a waste of resources

Items must be stored on the specified shelves by category, so most shelves can only store some items, and the empty storage shelves have a relatively large space
