Problems solved by technology

However, the above invention only solves the problem of users waiting in line at the checkout. Customers still need to spend a lot of time to buy commodities, and customers cannot understand the prices of commodities and related promotional information at the first time, and the staff cannot understand the commodities at the same time. If the product is sold out, it cannot be replenished immediately, which will affect the purchase of customers
At the same time, there is currently no invention on how to reduce the land use of supermarkets. Supermarkets still need a lot of land to build. Land prices are also a very important cost input in the early stage of supermarkets. How to reduce the input of land costs without reducing the sales scale of supermarkets , is also a problem to be solved

Embodiment approach

[0084] The implementation of offline ordering and retail shipment by customers is as follows:

[0085] 1. The customer selects the product in the offline order operation area 6-4 of the customer area 6 and places an order for payment. After the payment is successful, the customer is fed back a proof of successful payment, which includes the purchased product information and the QR code of the payment information. The customer holds this certificate and waits for the number to be called to pick up the goods in the customer rest waiting area 6-3.

[0086] 2. The offline order operation area 6-4 sends the order information to the monitoring computer in the retail area. The monitoring computer in the retail area first judges whether the order is an online order or an offline order. Certain optimization rules are sorted to form a shipping queue, and each order is assigned a shipping window, and then the monitoring computer in the retail area notifies the master control PLC, and sen...

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic supermarket system which comprises an upper layer and a lower layer. The upper layer comprises a working region including a temporary storage warehousing region, an offline retail goods sorting device and an online goods shipping system. The lower layer comprises a warehousing service region, a delivery service region, a storage region, and a retail shipping region. The temporary storage warehousing region comprises a goods tray, a first goods information registration device, a first warehousing service desk, and a warehousing conveying device. An RFID label is applied to the goods tray. The first goods information registration device is used to set up correlation between goods information and the goods tray and registering. The first warehousing service desk comprises a first computer and a first RFID detection device. The system is highly automated, can greatly reduce the number of workers, and can reduce a large amount of labor costs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of storage systems and the technical field of supermarket intelligent shopping, and more specifically relates to an automated supermarket system. Background technique [0002] Supermarkets are generally built in densely populated areas. In recent years, with the continuous increase in land prices and labor costs, the operating costs of supermarkets have continued to increase. How to control costs is an urgent problem for supermarket operators. At the same time, the time for customers to purchase goods is generally concentrated. The supermarket has a large passenger flow in a certain period of time, and customers have to waste a lot of time in the process of purchasing and checking out. Passenger flow is also a problem that needs to be solved at present. [0003] At present, many domestic designs are intended to reduce customer settlement time, and then increase the passenger flow of the supermarket, such as...
