Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of warehousing and logistics technology, and in particular to a material outbound method and material outbound system. Background Technology

[0002] Material outbound refers to the operation of retrieving raw materials, semi-finished products, or finished products from the warehouse according to the outbound slip. In other words, it is the general term for a series of tasks that the warehouse organizes for the outbound of materials based on the material outbound vouchers (delivery slips, orders) issued by the business departments or inventory units, according to the material number, name, specifications, model, quantity, and other items listed therein.

[0003] The current material outbound process mainly relies on manual labor for material identification and picking based on order information. Therefore, outbound personnel need to be very familiar with the relevant material information and have certain outbound operation experience to prevent errors. However, in actual outbound operations, errors still occur (incorrect type, incorrect quantity, etc.), causing losses to both the company and its customers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the problems of high skill requirements for outbound personnel and material errors in existing material outbound methods by providing a material outbound method and system that reduces the skill requirements for outbound personnel and ensures the accuracy of outbound processes.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is:

[0006] A material outbound method for issuing materials according to predetermined inbound rules and with corresponding material identifiers, the method comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step S1: Receive the order and generate the corresponding outbound slip and outbound slip label based on the order; the outbound slip contains information about the materials to be shipped out, and the information displayed after the outbound slip label is recognized is consistent with the corresponding outbound slip;

[0008] Step S2: Generate a Kanban and Kanban label for each type of material to be shipped based on the outbound order; the Kanban contains information about the material to be shipped, and the information displayed after the Kanban label is identified is consistent with the corresponding Kanban; the number of Kanban is set according to the quantity of the material to be shipped and the corresponding pre-determined inbound rules.

[0009] Step S3: Identify the outbound order label, compare the outbound order with the inventory, and determine whether the inventory is required.

[0010] If the judgment result is satisfied, the corresponding outbound quantity will be displayed for the specific storage location of the materials to be shipped included in the outbound order.

[0011] If the judgment result is not satisfied, a prompt will be given;

[0012] Step S4: Identify any Kanban label, locate the specific storage location of the corresponding material to be shipped, and obtain a location prompt; verify the information of the material stored in the specific storage location with the material to be shipped to determine whether the shipping operation can be performed.

[0013] If the verification result shows that the material stored in the specific storage location matches the material to be issued, identify the material label corresponding to the specific storage location, pick up the material and put it into the identified Kanban label at the same time, and display the remaining quantity to be issued on the specific storage location and the handheld terminal of the issuing personnel respectively, and proceed to the next step.

[0014] If the verification result shows that the materials stored in a specific warehouse location do not match the materials to be shipped, a prompt will be given and the shipping will be suspended.

[0015] Step S5: Repeat step S4 until all materials to be shipped have been picked up. The specific storage location of each type of material to be shipped will be displayed as "0", and the location prompt will be turned off.

[0016] Furthermore, the method also includes:

[0017] Step 6: Identify all Kanban labels one by one and check them against the outbound order again;

[0018] If the verification result is correct, the outbound process is complete, and no numbers are displayed for the specific storage location of each type of material to be outbound.

[0019] If the verification result is incorrect, the error must be found in the picked-up materials awaiting shipment, corrected, and then the materials can be shipped.

[0020] Furthermore, in step S3, the information of the personnel issuing the goods needs to be entered before identifying the outbound slip label.

[0021] Furthermore, in step S3, when comparing the outbound order with the inventory, if there is no material corresponding to the material to be outbound in the inventory or the inventory quantity is insufficient, a prompt will be given and the outbound process will be suspended; if the inventory quantity meets the requirements, the outbound process will be executed, and the corresponding outbound quantity will be displayed statically in the specific storage location of the material to be outbound.

[0022] Furthermore, in step S4, the location prompt is based on whether there is a light prompt at the specific storage location.

[0023] Furthermore, in step S4, the remaining outbound quantity is displayed dynamically for each specific storage location.

[0024] Furthermore, in step S5, when repeating step S4, it is necessary to identify the other Kanban boards of the same material to be shipped out until all the same material to be shipped out has been picked up before identifying the Kanban board of another material to be shipped out; otherwise, a prompt will be given.

[0025] Furthermore, the outbound slip labels, Kanban labels, and material labels are barcodes or QR codes.

[0026] A material dispatch system implementing the aforementioned material dispatch method, the system comprising:

[0027] server;

[0028] A display screen, which is connected to the server;

[0029] A handheld terminal, which is connected to the server;

[0030] An output device, which is connected to the server;

[0031] A notification device, which is connected to the server.

[0032] Furthermore, the server is a PC;

[0033] The handheld terminal is a PDA, which communicates wirelessly with the PC.

[0034] The output device is a printer, which prints out paper-based outbound slips and Kanban boards;

[0035] The notification device is a warning light.

[0036] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0037] This invention addresses the problems of high skill requirements for outbound personnel and material errors in existing material outbound methods by providing a material outbound method and system. The method is used for outbounding materials according to predetermined inbound rules and with corresponding material identifiers, including: Step S1, receiving orders and generating corresponding outbound slips and slip labels for each order; Step S2, generating Kanban boards and Kanban labels for each type of material to be outbound based on the outbound slips; Step S3, identifying the outbound slip labels, comparing the outbound slips with inventory to determine if the inventory is required; Step S4, identifying any Kanban label, locating the specific storage location of the corresponding material to be outbound, and obtaining location prompts; verifying the information of the materials stored in the specific storage location with the material to be outbound to determine if the outbound operation can be performed; Step S5, repeating Step S4 until all materials to be outbound have been picked up, the specific storage location of each type of material to be outbound displays "0", and the location prompts are turned off. Because the materials to be shipped have corresponding material tags, the picking process allows personnel to quickly complete the picking by identifying and matching the material tags, the outbound slip tags, and the Kanban tags, without needing to know all the material information. This is especially suitable for newly hired outbound personnel, ensuring accuracy and reducing training time. Furthermore, the picking process involves multiple verification steps, preventing outbound errors. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0042] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0043] The embodiments of the invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] The current material outbound process still relies primarily on manual labor for material identification and picking. Therefore, outbound personnel need to be highly familiar with material information and have considerable experience in outbound operations to prevent errors. However, in actual outbound operations, errors still occur (incorrect type, incorrect quantity, etc.), causing losses for both the company and its customers.

[0046] To address the issues of high skill requirements for outbound personnel and the potential for material errors in existing material outbound methods, this embodiment provides a material outbound method. Before implementation, this method requires each type of material to be stored according to predetermined storage rules, with each storage location assigned a corresponding material identifier. The material identifier includes information such as the material name, model number, and specifications, as well as a material label. The material label is a barcode or QR code; scanning and recognizing it displays the material information and simultaneously registers the outbound shipment.

[0047] For example, the pre-ordered warehousing rule could be to warehouse 100 pieces per box, and then stack them in the warehouse according to the boxes.

[0048] Specifically, the method includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S1: Receive the order and generate the corresponding outbound slip and outbound slip label based on the order; the outbound slip contains information about the materials to be shipped out, and the information displayed after the outbound slip label is recognized is consistent with the corresponding outbound slip.

[0050] Orders typically include information such as customer name, material name, material specifications, quantity, and delivery time. Outbound slips usually contain the same information. Generally, there is a one-to-one correspondence between orders and outbound slips. Alternatively, depending on the specific circumstances, such as orders from the same customer, some orders may be combined to generate one or more outbound slips.

[0051] Step S2: Generate Kanban and Kanban label for each type of material to be shipped based on the outbound order; the Kanban contains information about the material to be shipped, and the information displayed after the Kanban label is identified is consistent with the corresponding Kanban; the number of Kanban is set according to the quantity of the material to be shipped and the corresponding pre-determined inbound rules.

[0052] The outbound slip displays information about the materials to be shipped. The outbound slip label is a barcode or QR code, and the information transmitted after it is identified is consistent with the information displayed on the outbound slip.

[0053] Each Kanban board displays the code and quantity of a material to be shipped. The Kanban label is a barcode or QR code, and the information transmitted after it is identified is consistent with the information displayed on the Kanban board.

[0054] If the quantity of materials to be shipped is an integer multiple of the preset inbound storage rules, one or more Kanban boards and corresponding Kanban labels will be generated according to the preset inbound storage rules. If the quantity of materials to be shipped is not an integer multiple of the preset inbound storage rules, one or more Kanban boards and corresponding Kanban labels will be generated first according to the preset inbound storage rules, and the remainder will generate one corresponding Kanban board and Kanban label.

[0055] For example, an order contains five types of materials: A1 (100 pieces), A2 (200 pieces), A3 (300 pieces), A4 (400 pieces), and A5 (500 pieces). The default inventory storage rule for these materials is that 100 pieces are packed into one box.

[0056] After generating the outbound order CKB, the outbound order CKB displays A1 (1 box, 100 pieces), A2 (2 boxes, 200 pieces), A3 (3 boxes, 300 pieces), A4 (4 boxes, 400 pieces), and A5 (5 boxes, 500 pieces). An outbound order QR code is generated simultaneously. Scanning the QR code displays information consistent with the information on the outbound order CKB.

[0057] Generate Kanban KB1-1 for material A1 (A1, 1 box, 100 pieces). Simultaneously generate a Kanban QR code. The information displayed after scanning the Kanban QR code is consistent with the information on the outbound Kanban KB1-1.

[0058] Generate Kanban boards KB2-1 (A2, 1 box, 100 pieces) and KB2-2 (A2, 1 box, 100 pieces) for material A2. Simultaneously generate Kanban QR codes. Scanning the QR codes displays information consistent with that on the outbound order Kanban boards KB2-1 and KB2-2.

[0059] Generate Kanban boards for material A3: KB3-1 (A3, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB3-2 (A3, 1 box, 100 pieces), and KB3-3 (A3, 1 box, 100 pieces). Simultaneously generate Kanban QR codes. Scanning the QR codes displays information consistent with that on the outbound order Kanban boards KB3-1, KB3-2, and KB3-3, respectively.

[0060] Generate Kanban boards for material A4: KB4-1 (A4, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB4-2 (A4, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB4-3 (A4, 1 box, 100 pieces), and KB4-4 (A4, 1 box, 100 pieces). Simultaneously generate Kanban QR codes. Scanning the QR codes displays information consistent with the information on the outbound order Kanban boards KB4-1, KB4-2, KB4-3, and KB4-4, respectively.

[0061] Generate Kanban boards for material A5: KB5-1 (A5, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB5-2 (A5, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB5-3 (A5, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB5-4 (A5, 1 box, 100 pieces), and KB5-5 (A5, 1 box, 100 pieces). Simultaneously generate Kanban QR codes. Scanning the QR codes displays information consistent with that displayed on the outbound order Kanban boards KB5-1, KB5-2, KB5-3, KB5-4, and KB5-5, respectively.

[0062] Step S3: Identify the outbound order label, compare the outbound order with the inventory, and determine whether the inventory is required.

[0063] If the judgment result is satisfactory, the specific storage location of the materials to be shipped included in the outbound order will display the corresponding outbound quantity, and the next step will be executed.

[0064] If the judgment result is not met, a prompt will be given and the outbound shipment will be suspended.

[0065] Specifically, the following determination method is adopted:

[0066] When comparing the outbound order with the inventory, if there is no material in the inventory corresponding to the material to be shipped or the inventory quantity is insufficient, a prompt will be given and the outbound process will be suspended; for example, if the quantity of material A1 to be shipped is 100 pieces, but the inventory only has 90 pieces, then the outbound process cannot be completed.

[0067] If the inventory quantity meets the requirements, the outbound shipment will be executed, and the corresponding outbound quantity will be statically displayed in the specific storage location of the material to be shipped. For example, if the materials to be shipped are A1 (1 box) and A2 (2 boxes), then "1" and "2" will be displayed on the LED display screens of the inventory areas of A1 and A2, respectively.

[0068] To facilitate traceability of the outbound process and personnel, information such as the personnel's code must be entered before identifying the outbound slip label.

[0069] Step S4: Identify any Kanban label, locate the specific storage location of the corresponding material to be shipped, and obtain location prompts, such as using light prompts to indicate the specific storage location; verify the information of the materials stored in the specific storage location with the material to be shipped to determine whether the shipping operation can be performed.

[0070] If the verification result shows that the material stored in the specific storage location matches the material to be issued, the material label corresponding to the specific storage location is identified, the material is picked up and placed into the identified Kanban label, and the remaining quantity to be issued is displayed on the specific storage location and the handheld terminal of the issuing personnel respectively.

[0071] If the verification result shows that the materials stored in a specific warehouse location do not match the materials to be shipped, a prompt will be given.

[0072] For example, if the material to be shipped is A1 (2 boxes), Kanban boards KB1-1 and KB1-2 are generated. After the Kanban label of KB1-2 is identified, the warning light in the inventory area corresponding to the material A1 will light up (solid or flashing), informing the shipping personnel of the specific location of the material. At the same time, the LED display screen of the A1 location will dynamically display "2" (flashing or scrolling), indicating the quantity to be shipped. After verification, the handheld terminal scans the material label on the A1 location, picks up A1, and puts it into KB1-2. The LED display screen of the A1 location will dynamically display "1", and the handheld terminal will indicate the remaining quantity to be shipped as "1".

[0073] Step S5: Repeat step S4 until all materials to be shipped have been picked up. The specific storage location of each type of material to be shipped will be displayed as "0", and the location prompt will be turned off.

[0074] In this process, it is necessary to identify other Kanban boards for the same material to be shipped out. Only after all the materials for the same material to be shipped out have been picked up can another Kanban board for another material to be shipped out be identified; otherwise, a prompt will be given.

[0075] For example, if the materials to be shipped are A1 (2 boxes, 200 pieces) and A2 (2 boxes, 200 pieces), generate Kanban boards KB1-1 (A1, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB1-2 (A1, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB2-1 (A2, 1 box, 100 pieces), and KB2-2 (A2, 1 box, 100 pieces). To ship A1 first, KB1-1 and KB1-2 need to be identified. Then, to ship A2, KB2-1 and KB2-2 need to be identified. If KB1-1 is identified, and then KB2-1 is identified, the message "Invalid shipment" will be displayed.

[0076] Step 6: Identify all Kanban labels one by one and check them against the outbound order again;

[0077] If the verification result is correct, the outbound process is complete, and no numbers are displayed for the specific storage location of each type of material to be outbound.

[0078] If the verification result is incorrect, the error in the picked-up materials awaiting shipment must be found, corrected, and then the materials can be shipped.

[0079] The material release method in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0080] 1. Prevent errors in material issuance;

[0081] 2. Prevent errors in the quantity of materials discharged and shipped out;

[0082] 3. Reduce the time spent by outbound personnel searching for items;

[0083] 4. Outbound data is traceable;

[0084] 5. Outbound information is visible.

[0085] Example 2

[0086] The structure of the material outbound system is shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown. Before using the system, each type of material needs to be stored in the warehouse according to predetermined storage rules, and a corresponding material identifier needs to be set for each storage location. The material identifier includes information such as material name, material model, material specifications, and a material label. The material label is a barcode or QR code, which, when scanned and recognized, displays the material information and simultaneously triggers a departure registration.

[0087] Specifically, the system includes a server 1, a display screen 2, a handheld terminal 3, an output device 4, and a prompting device 5.

[0088] Server 1 is a PC (computer). Server 1 has a built-in control program to handle signal processing and issue control commands. For example, Server 1 first enters inventory information, and upon receiving an order, it analyzes the order and then generates a Kanban board and Kanban labels based on the order. After recognizing the Kanban labels and material labels, it performs verification.

[0089] Display screen 2 is installed in the inventory area. Each inventory unit has one display screen 2. After recognizing the outbound slip label or pallet label, display screen 2 connects to server 1 and displays the outbound quantity.

[0090] Handheld terminal 3 is a PDA. Handheld terminal 3 communicates wirelessly with server 1. It scans material labels, outbound slip labels, and Kanban labels, and then verifies the information.

[0091] Output device 4 is connected to server 1. Output device 4 can be a printer, which prints paper-based outbound slips and Kanban boards.

[0092] A notification device 5 is connected to server 1. One notification device 5 is set up for each inventory item. The notification device can use an alarm light. When a Kanban tag is recognized, the alarm light for the corresponding storage location illuminates, indicating the specific location of the material to be shipped.

[0093] The material outbound system in this embodiment is used in an automotive parts manufacturing company. For example, an order contains five types of materials: A1 (100 pieces), A2 (200 pieces), A3 (300 pieces), A4 (400 pieces), and A5 (500 pieces). The preset material inbound storage rule is one box of 100 pieces.

[0094] After the order is entered into server 1 and processed, output device 4 prints a paper outbound slip (ckb) and an outbound slip label.

[0095] After generating the outbound order ckb, the outbound order ckb displays A1 (1 box, 100 pieces), A2 (2 boxes, 200 pieces), A3 (3 boxes, 300 pieces), A4 (4 boxes, 400 pieces), and A5 (5 boxes, 500 pieces).

[0096] Server 1 processes the outbound order (ckb) and then output device 4 prints out the paper Kanban board (kb) and Kanban label.

[0097] Generate Kanban KB1-1 for material A1 (A1, 1 box, 100 pieces).

[0098] Generate Kanban KB2-1 (A2, 1 box, 100 pieces) and KB2-2 (A2, 1 box, 100 pieces) for material A2.

[0099] Generate Kanban boards for material A3: KB3-1 (A3, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB3-2 (A3, 1 box, 100 pieces), and KB3-3 (A3, 1 box, 100 pieces).

[0100] Generate Kanban boards for material A4: KB4-1 (A4, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB4-2 (A4, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB4-3 (A4, 1 box, 100 pieces), and KB4-4 (A4, 1 box, 100 pieces).

[0101] Generate Kanban boards for material A5: KB5-1 (A5, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB5-2 (A5, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB5-3 (A5, 1 box, 100 pieces), KB5-4 (A5, 1 box, 100 pieces), and KB5-5 (A5, 1 box, 100 pieces).

[0102] The outbound personnel enter their code on handheld terminal 3, which then identifies the outbound slip label. Server 1 processes and determines that the outbound requirements are met, and the outbound shipment can proceed. The display screens 2 of the specific storage locations where A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 are stacked light up, statically displaying "1", "2", "3", "4", and "5" respectively.

[0103] Handheld terminal 3 identifies the Kanban label KB5-1. The number "5" on the display screen 2 of the specific storage location A5 begins to flash. Simultaneously, the indicator device 5 for storage location A5 illuminates and flashes. The outbound personnel verify the material identification of A5 to ensure a match. Handheld terminal 3 scans the material label, picks up a box, and places KB5-1. The display screen 2 of the specific storage location A5 flashes the number "4," and handheld terminal 3 indicates the remaining outbound quantity is "4." In a similar manner, KB5-2 and its material label are scanned, KB5-2 is picked up, and placed. KB5-3 and its material label are scanned, KB5-3 is picked up, and placed. KB5-4 and its material label are scanned, KB5-4 is picked up, and placed. KB5-5 and its material label are scanned, KB5-5 is picked up, and placed. Once the A5 picking is complete, the indicator device turns off.

[0104] Pick up A4, A3, A2, and A1 in a similar manner.

[0105] After A5, A4, A3, A2, and A1 have all been picked up, handheld terminal 3 re-identifies the Kanban labels kb1-1, kb2-1, kb2-2, kb3-1, kb3-2, kb3-3, kb4-1, kb4-2, kb4-3, kb4-4, kb5-1, kb5-2, kb5-3, kb5-4, and kb5-5. The verification is complete; the result is correct, the outbound process is finished, and display screen 2 turns off.

[0106] The outbound system in this embodiment, with its corresponding material tags, allows outbound personnel to quickly complete the picking process by identifying and matching the material tags, outbound slip tags, and Kanban tags, without needing to know all the material information. This is especially suitable for newly hired outbound personnel, ensuring accuracy and reducing training time. Furthermore, the multiple verification steps during the picking process prevent outbound errors.
