[0002] With the rapid development of e-commerce, the online sales scale of fresh products has been expanding year by year. Fresh products are perishable, have a short shelf life, and have high requirements for storage and transportation conditions. Therefore, freshness preservation and timeliness during the distribution process have become key challenges. Traditional fresh food distribution models usually rely on manual scheduling and simple cold chain transportation.

[0003] Currently, current fresh food distribution systems generally face problems such as incomplete data collection and lagging response. Traditional solutions rely on manual experience for inventory management and route planning, and it is difficult to perceive changes in the transportation environment in real time, such as temperature and humidity fluctuations and traffic anomalies, resulting in a relatively high loss rate of goods. In addition, existing warning mechanisms mostly use single-sensor threshold alarms, lack the ability of multi-dimensional anomaly correlation analysis, and have insufficient ability to automatically generate emergency handling solutions.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, an intelligent fresh food distribution system and method based on the Internet of Things are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the deficiencies of the prior art by providing an intelligent fresh food distribution system and method based on the Internet of Things, thereby solving the technical problems raised in the background art.

[0041] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0042] Specific embodiments are given below.

[0043] Embodiment

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , the present invention provides an intelligent fresh food distribution system and method based on the Internet of Things, including the following steps;

[0045] Step 1: Collect fresh food distribution technologies;

[0046] In the said Step 1, use sensors and RFID technology to collect the environmental information, location information, and status information of fresh food products. Specifically, the collected data is as follows:

[0047] Environmental information: temperature T, humidity H, light L;

[0048] Location information: the precision of the fresh food product is the coordinate (x, y);

[0049] Status information: fresh food quality Q, maturity M.

[0050] The data collection frequency is Δt, and the collected data set is:

[0051] D = {(T i , H i , L i , x i , y i , Q i , M i )|i = 1, 2,......, n}

[0052] Step 2: Construct a distribution model;

[0053] In the said Step 2, construct a digital twin model of the entire fresh food distribution process to map the physical world state in real time;

[0054] The data of the digital twin model includes:

[0055] Warehouse status: Specifically, fresh food inventory, fresh food temperature, and fresh food humidity;

[0056] Vehicle status: Specifically, fresh food location and fresh food route;

[0057] Fresh food product status: Specifically, fresh food quality and fresh food location;

[0058] Environmental status: Specifically, weather and traffic;

[0059] The physical world includes: warehouses, vehicles, fresh food products, and the environment.

[0060] In this step, for the digital twin model of the whole process of fresh food distribution, the state update formula of the data twin model is:

[0061] S(t) = f(S(t - 1), D(t))

[0062] Where S(t) represents the state of the digital twin model at time t;

[0063] D(t) represents the data collected at time t;

[0064] f is the state update function, which is used to map the data in the physical world into the digital twin model.

[0065] The specific states of the digital twin model include:

[0066] Warehouse state: inventory I, temperature Tω, and humidity Hω.

[0067] Vehicle state: position (x ν , y ν ) and route R.

[0068] Fresh product state: quality Q p and position (x p , y p ).

[0069] Environmental state; weather W and traffic condition C.

[0070] Step Three: Edge AI Quality Detection;

[0071] In Step Three, an AI device is deployed in the delivery vehicle or delivery box to detect the appearance, color, and odor characteristics of fresh products in real time, and upload the detection results to the digital twin model to dynamically update the state of fresh products.

[0072] In Step Three, the edge AI device detects the appearance, color, and odor characteristics of fresh products in real time, and the detection results are used to calculate the fresh product quality score through the following formula:

[0073] Q P = ω1·A + ω2·C + ω3·S

[0074] Where: Q P is the fresh product quality score.

[0075] A is the appearance score.

[0076] C is the color score.

[0077] S is the odor score.

[0078] ω1, ω2, ω3 are weight coefficients, satisfying:

[0079] ω1 + ω2 + ω3 = 1。

[0080] The detection results are uploaded to the digital twin model to update the status of fresh products:

[0081] Q P (t) = Q P (t - 1) + ΔQ P 。

[0082] Step Four: Swarm intelligence crowdsourcing distribution;

[0083] In the said Step Four, using swarm intelligence algorithms, integrating social idle resources, dynamically optimizing the distribution network, and dynamically adjusting the distribution priority and path according to the digital twin model and the edge AI detection results. The social idle resources include food delivery riders, private cars, and community distribution points.

[0084] In this step, the ant colony algorithm is used to optimize the distribution path. The core formula of the ant colony algorithm is as follows:

[0085] Pheromone update formula: T ij (t + 1) = (1 - ρ)·T ij (t) + ΔT ij , where:

[0086] T ij (t) is the pheromone concentration of path (i, j) at time t.

[0087] ρ is the pheromone evaporation coefficient.

[0088] ΔTij is the pheromone increment released by the ant on path (i, j).

[0089] The path selection probability formula is as follows:

[0090]

[0091] where:

[0092] is the probability that ant κ selects path (i, j) at time t.

[0093] η ij is the heuristic information of path (i, j), more specifically, the reciprocal of the distance.

[0094] α and β are parameters that control the weights of pheromone and heuristic information.

[0095] Step Five: For interaction and feedback;

[0096] In the said Step Five, the status and distribution progress of fresh products are viewed in real time through the mobile terminal or the Web terminal

[0097] Based on the evaluation and feedback of the delivery service, the system optimizes the delivery strategy according to the feedback.

[0098] In this step, the user views the status and delivery progress of fresh products through the mobile or Web terminal. The feedback scoring formula is as follows:

[0099]

[0100] Where:

[0101] F is the comprehensive score of user feedback.

[0102] f i is the score of the i-th user.

[0103] N is the number of users.

[0104] Step Six: System Optimization and Feedback Mechanism;

[0105] In Step Six, collect user evaluations, delivery efficiency data, and feedback information on the fresh product loss rate, and optimize the digital twin model, edge AI detection model, and swarm intelligence scheduling algorithm;

[0106] Dynamically adjust the delivery strategy, provide personalized services, and implement exception handling and early warning.

[0107] In this step, the system optimizes the model based on user feedback and delivery data. The optimization objective function is as follows:

[0108] M inimize Z = ω1·L + ω2·D + ω3·C;

[0109] Where:

[0110] L is the fresh product loss rate.

[0111] D is the delivery time.

[0112] C is the delivery cost.

[0113] ω1, ω2, ω3 are weight coefficients, satisfying ω1 + ω2 + ω3 = 1.

[0114] Furthermore, an intelligent fresh product delivery system based on the Internet of Things, the delivery system includes:

[0115] Temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and RFID for data collection;

[0116] 5G and NB-IOT for real-time collection of environmental information, location information, and status information of fresh products, and uploading the data to the cloud platform;

[0117] Delivery vehicles for the delivery of fresh products;

[0118] An edge AI device for real-time detection of the appearance, color, and smell of fresh products, and for judging the freshness and quality of the produced products.

[0119] In summary, through the Internet of Things technology and the digital twin model, the system can collect and analyze a large amount of data in real time, provide data-driven decision support for enterprises, realize predicting future distribution demands according to historical order data and market trends, and optimize inventory management and resource allocation.

[0120] The system monitors abnormal situations in the distribution process in real time. When encountering traffic congestion, equipment failures, or a decline in the quality of fresh products, it triggers an early warning mechanism and automatically generates an emergency response plan. Specifically, it replaces the distribution vehicle, adjusts the distribution route, or notifies the customer to ensure the stability and reliability of the distribution process. Moreover, based on real-time data and user feedback, the system can dynamically adjust the distribution strategy to adapt to different market demands and environmental changes.

[0121] By using the edge AI device to detect the quality of fresh products in real time and combining with the dynamic optimization function of the digital twin model, potential problems can be discovered and processed in a timely manner, significantly reducing the loss rate of fresh products during the distribution process. Through swarm intelligence algorithms and crowdsourcing distribution networks, the system can efficiently utilize social resources, reduce the investment in fixed distribution vehicles and personnel, and lower the operating costs.
