A light-guided assisted picking system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an auxiliary sorting system and method through guiding of light rays. The auxiliary sorting system comprises a center control unit, a direction control unit, a light guiding unit and a handheld sorting unit, wherein the center control unit is respectively coupled with the direction control unit, the light guiding unit and the handheld sorting unit and used for storing the goods position information and ranking the taking out sequences of goods in an order form, and carries out information exchanging with the handheld sorting unit. The direction control unit is used for receiving a position order sent by the center control unit and sending the position order to the light guiding unit. The light guiding unit is used for sending the light rays, and the direction control unit is used for projecting the light rays to the position indicated by the position order. The handheld sorting unit is used for sending the feedback information to the center control unit. According to the system and method, a light beam is projected to the position beside the storing position to guide workers to carry out order picking and to enable the workers to utilize a handheld terminal to carry out confirming and information inputting, and the system and method have the advantages of being low in cost, fast in guiding, errorless in sorting and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of logistics picking, in particular to a light-guided assisted picking system and method that utilizes light beam signals and wireless communication technology to assist workers in picking. Background technique [0002] my country's logistics is still in a labor-intensive industrial mode. Most logistics centers use traditional order manual picking for picking, and the personnel directly related to picking operations account for more than half of the entire logistics center. However, the error rate of manual picking operations is as high as three per thousand. [0003] With the development of automation and semi-automation equipment, various sorting equipment has emerged, including automated sorting machines and various sorting auxiliary equipment. Automated sorting equipment currently has certain applications in our country, but the price of automated equipment is relatively high, and it can only be applied in limite...
