[0041] It should be understood, Figure 1aThe numbers of the terminal devices, networks, and servers in [it] are merely illustrative. According to the implementation requirements, there can be any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers.

[0042] Figure 1b FIG. schematically shows an application scenario diagram where the configuration method of the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied. As Figure 1b shown, the configuration of the Internet of Things warehouse 120 can be implemented through the configuration management platform 110. The Internet of Things warehouse 120 includes multiple warehouses, such as Warehouse 1, Warehouse 2, Warehouse 3, Warehouse 4, Warehouse 5, and Warehouse n, where n can be any positive integer greater than 2. The multiple warehouses in the Internet of Things warehouse 120 are connected through the Internet of Things, and the configuration and management of each warehouse in the Internet of Things warehouse are implemented through the configuration management platform 110. For example, according to the attributes or requirements of each warehouse, adjustments are made to achieve the personalization of the warehouse configuration and improve the efficiency of the warehouse configuration at the same time.

[0043] The following will be through Figures 2 to 6 to describe in detail the configuration method of the Internet of Things warehouse of the disclosed embodiments.

[0044] Figure 2 FIG. schematically shows a flowchart of the configuration method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0045] As Figure 2 shown, the process 200 of the configuration method of the Internet of Things warehouse of the embodiments of the present disclosure includes operation S210 to operation S240.

[0046] In operation S210, at least one of the multiple warehouses is configured, and the business actions required for the warehouse are determined according to the attributes of the warehouse to be configured.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, there are multiple warehouses in the Internet of Things warehouse. During actual use, there are problems such as different types of warehouses or different uses of warehouses, and different business actions need to be configured for different warehouses, as well as different execution methods. For example, taking the archive Internet of Things management warehouse as an example, the management archive types of different archive management warehouses involve differences in storage means, storage regulations, etc.; classified archives involve requirements for archive security supervision, personnel inspections, personnel access, etc.; there are significant differences in different warehouse building types, such as area, height, etc. For those with a lower floor height, mobile racks can be used, and for those with a higher floor height, mobile shelving can be used; for the ground situation, the execution method is also configured according to the specific ground situation. For example, when taking inventory, the execution method can be an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) or a gantry robot, etc. By adopting different business actions for different warehouses, unified configuration is achieved, and at the same time, differentiated management is achieved.

[0048] In this embodiment, the attributes of the warehouse include at least one of the warehouse usage, warehouse address, warehouse location, warehouse area, and warehouse structure information. That is, when configuring the business operations of the warehouse, one or more of the warehouse attributes can be used for configuration to select appropriate business operations for different warehouses.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when configuring at least one warehouse among multiple warehouses, it can be configured in a batch mode or in a personalized manner. When configuring, the attributes of the warehouse to be configured can be one attribute information or multiple attribute information. The configured business operations can be one business operation or multiple business operations.

[0050] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, it can also be a supplementary configuration for the already configured warehouse. For example, adding business operations to the warehouse to improve the warehouse, or changing the business operations of the warehouse to achieve different functions.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, taking the configuration of the archive Internet of Things management warehouse as an example, during the configuration process of the Internet of Things warehouse, the business operations that can be configured can be, for example, archive transfer into the warehouse, archive transfer and storage into the warehouse, archive sorting and storage into the warehouse, institutional merger and storage into the warehouse, archive return and storage into the warehouse, archive shelving, archive lending, retrieval, and shelving removal, archive destruction and shelving removal, archive sorting and shelving removal, archive transfer and shelving removal, institutional separation and shelving removal, archive lending and out of the warehouse, other archives out of the warehouse, archive inventory, archive search, warehouse inspection, etc. When configuring, one or more business operations can be configured for the warehouse according to needs.

[0052] In other alternative embodiments, the business operations can be set according to the needs of the configured Internet of Things warehouse. The business operations can be pre-set and stored in an optional configuration library. When a user configures the warehouse, they can select from the configuration library. In addition, the business operations can also be custom-set. For example, when the user performs the configuration operation, it is customized for the specific warehouse of different Internet of Things warehouses to achieve more comprehensive configuration and management of the warehouse.

[0053] In operation S220, determine at least one execution method for executing the business operation according to the business operation.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after configuring a business operation, at least one execution method for executing the business operation is determined according to the business operation. For example, the business operation includes various methods described above, and each business operation also includes one or more execution methods. The execution method of the business operation in the warehouse can be configured according to specific requirements. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, determining the execution method of the business operation can be determined according to the warehouse attributes or other factors. For example, factors such as the speed, efficiency, accuracy, and comprehensiveness of the execution method can be considered.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, taking the configuration of the archive Internet of Things management warehouse as an example, when the business operation is archive transfer into the warehouse, archive transfer to another location and into the warehouse, archive sorting and warehousing, or institutional merger and warehousing, the determined optional execution methods include PDA warehousing and RFID access door warehousing; when the business operation is archive return warehousing, the determined optional execution methods, in addition to the above two execution methods, also include the execution method of manual return; when the business operation is archive shelving, the determined optional execution methods include: truss robot + intelligent compact shelf shelving, AGV wheeled robot + intelligent compact shelf shelving, AGV wheeled robot shelving, AGV high-lifting robot shelving, intelligent filing cabinet shelving, PDA shelving; when the business operation is archive lending, retrieval, and shelving removal, archive destruction and shelving removal, archive sorting and shelving removal, archive transfer to another location and shelving removal, or institutional separation and shelving removal, the determined optional execution methods include: truss robot + intelligent compact shelf shelving removal, AGV wheeled robot + intelligent compact shelf shelving removal, AGV wheeled robot shelving removal, AGV high-lifting robot shelving removal, intelligent filing cabinet shelving removal, PDA retrieval; when the business operation is archive lending and out of the warehouse, the determined optional execution methods include PDA scanning for lending, RFID desktop reader and writer for lending, and manual confirmation for lending; when the business operation is other archive out of the warehouse, the determined optional execution methods include PDA out of the warehouse and RFID access door out of the warehouse; when the business operation is archive inventory, the determined optional execution methods include: truss robot + intelligent compact shelf inventory, AGV wheeled robot + intelligent compact shelf inventory, AGV wheeled robot inventory, AGV high-lifting robot inventory, inventory robot inventory, hand-pushed inventory cart inventory, intelligent filing cabinet inventory, PDA inventory; when the business operation is archive search, the determined optional execution method includes PDA archive search; when the business operation is warehouse inspection, the determined optional execution methods include inspection robot, AGV wheeled robot, and AGV high-lifting robot. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, a business operation can correspond to one or more execution methods. At the same time, the same execution method can also be adopted between different business operations. Of course, it can also be different execution methods.

[0056] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, an execution mode library for executing a service action can be determined according to each service action, and the execution mode library includes one or more execution modes for executing the service action. During the configuration process of the warehouse, the user can select the execution mode of the service action according to actual needs. In other embodiments, it is also possible to support customized settings for the execution mode of the service action, further improving the configuration of the IoT warehouse and better achieving personalized configuration for different warehouses.

[0057] In operation S230, the execution device is determined according to the execution mode.

[0058] As described above, after the execution mode is determined, each execution mode requires a specific execution device to execute. And the same execution device can be provided by different device suppliers. Therefore, the optional execution devices are determined according to the execution mode, and the optional device suppliers are further determined. Specifically, for example, for execution mode A, the optional execution devices are execution device B and execution device C. Execution device B is produced and supplied by suppliers D and E, and execution device C is supplied by suppliers F, G, and H, etc. Execution device B and C can be determined according to execution mode A, and the device suppliers can be further determined. The determined execution devices can be provided by multiple different suppliers to meet different needs.

[0059] In operation S240, a simulation scenario is generated according to the attributes of the warehouse and the parameter dimensions of the execution device. In the simulation scenario, the execution mode and execution device corresponding to the service action of the warehouse are simulated, and the execution mode and execution device are adjusted according to the simulation results.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after obtaining the attributes of the warehouse to be configured, the execution device is determined according to the determined business actions and the execution methods of the business actions. Thus, the parameter dimensions of the execution devices provided by different suppliers can be obtained. The obtained warehouse attributes may include the warehouse area, warehouse structure information, etc., such as the length, width, and height of the warehouse, the specific arrangement of the shelves in the warehouse, the specific arrangement of the shelves, the intervals between the shelves, etc. Based on the above information, a virtual scene can be generated. The simulation scene includes various structure information of the configured warehouse, and also includes information such as the parameter dimensions of the determined execution device. In this embodiment, WEBGL (three.js) can be used for front-end dynamic display at the front end. 3dmax is used for 3d modeling, including actual warehouse scene modeling, equipment modeling, etc. The back-end java is used for Internet of Things docking. During the operation process, after modeling, the device sets the supported movement actions, restricted usage conditions, etc. through webgl, and then runs conflict detection. Conflict detection is performed through WEBGL (three.js). For example, when an AGV robot is blocked by a crossbeam with a relatively low height, it can be displayed in the simulation scene, that is, there is a conflict, which can be detected and reported to the user.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after configuring the business actions, execution methods, and execution devices for the warehouse, a simulation scene is formed by modeling the warehouse and the execution device. Next, in the simulation scene, the execution method and the execution device corresponding to the determined business action of the warehouse are simulated.

[0062] For example, taking the file inventory in the warehouse as an example, the determined execution method is inventory taking by an AGV wheeled robot, and the determined execution device is, for example, an AGV wheeled robot device provided by Supplier X. Therefore, modeling is performed according to multiple parameters such as the internal structure of the warehouse, the shelf dimensions, the shelf arrangement, the shelf intervals, and the size of the AGV wheeled robot device provided by Supplier X. Next, the running actions and restricted usage conditions of the AGV wheeled robot are set for simulation. When conflicts occur in the simulation, the problems existing in the current configuration scheme can be reflected.

[0063] Next, adjust the execution method and the execution device according to the simulation results. For example, the simulation results reflect that there is a problem that the execution method is not fully executed, or the execution device cannot complete some tasks. For example, if the AGV wheeled robot is blocked by a crossbeam with a relatively low height, then the execution method or the execution device can be selected for adjustment.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, it can also be determined whether the configured Internet of Things warehouse meets requirements such as fire protection through the simulation scene.

[0065] Figure 3Schematically shown is a flowchart of the configuration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure after operation S220.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 3 shown, after determining at least one execution manner for executing a service action according to the service action, operation S221 is further included: generating a priority ranking of the execution manners according to the importance degree of the execution manner relative to the service action.

[0067] By determining the priority ranking of the execution manners, the efficiency of executing the service action can be improved, or the completion effect of the service action can be improved. The importance degree of the execution manner relative to the service action can be considered according to different factors. For example, the service action is file transfer and warehousing, and the optional manners are PDA warehousing and RFID warehousing. When it is required that the service action can cover all products as much as possible, PDA warehousing is more important than RFID warehousing, which can cover more products and is more comprehensive. Then, the priority of PDA warehousing can be set to 1, and the priority of RFID access gate warehousing can be set to 2. In other alternative embodiments, it can be adjusted according to specific situations.

[0068] After generating the priority ranking of the execution manners according to the importance degree of the execution manner relative to the service action, operations S222 to S224 are further included.

[0069] In operation S222, according to the priority ranking, it is determined whether the currently selected execution manner has a corresponding execution device. The execution device is selected according to the determined execution manner. If the execution manner does not have a corresponding execution device, this execution manner can be selected. If there is no execution device, other execution manners with execution devices are selected. Thus, the warehouse can be flexibly adjusted during the configuration process.

[0070] In operation S223, if there is a corresponding execution device, it is determined to simulate the currently selected execution manner. If the selected execution manner has a corresponding execution device, it means that the execution manner of the service action is achievable, and thus the execution device selected subsequently for this execution manner can be simulated.

[0071] In operation S224, if there is no corresponding execution device, other execution manners in the priority ranking are selected, and it is determined whether the execution manner has a corresponding execution device. If the selected execution manner does not have a corresponding execution device, it means that this execution manner of the service action cannot be achieved. Other execution manners can be selected according to the priority ranking of the execution manners, and it is further determined whether the execution manner has a corresponding execution device. Thereby, when configuring the warehouse, it can be ensured that the selected execution manner can be executable, and the efficiency of warehouse configuration is improved.

[0072] Figure 4a Schematically shows the specific process of operation S230 of the configuration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4b Schematically shows the process after operation S231 of the configuration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4c Schematically shows a schematic diagram of a display panel of the configuration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for operation S230: determining the execution device according to the execution mode may specifically include operation S231: determining the standard access mode of the execution device according to the execution mode, and determining the corresponding execution device of the device supplier according to the standard access mode.

[0074] In this embodiment, during the process of warehouse configuration, a standardized access mode is provided for the device supplier. The device supplier can input the data of the execution device into the configuration center through this standardized access mode, or receive control instructions from the configuration center, so as to realize remote control of the execution device, or transmit the data of the execution device to the configuration center. At the same time, different hardware can be mutually authenticated and docked through the standard access mode, which is convenient for data transmission, receiving or sending instructions, etc.

[0075] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the execution device with a standard access mode can be displayed on a virtual IoT store shelf. After the warehouse is configured, it can be quickly selected according to the actually selected execution device.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the corresponding execution device of the device supplier according to the access mode, the configuration method of the IoT warehouse further includes operation S232: receiving real-time data sent by the execution device, and displaying and controlling the real-time data through a unified data display panel.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the execution device can send real-time data to the control center, and at the same time, it can feedback the execution situation of the business actions of the configured warehouse through the real-time data, such as Figure 4c Shown is a unified data display panel of an embodiment. For example, the unified data display panel can receive temperature and humidity data sent by the execution device, as well as information such as the dehumidification state, humidification state, swing leaf state, water tank state, purification state, and disinfection state of each execution device. At the same time, there are also control buttons on the unified data display panel, and remote control of the execution device can be realized through the control buttons.

[0078] Figure 5 Schematically shows the process of adjusting the execution mode and execution device according to the simulation result of the configuration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6A schematic diagram of a live information scenario generated by a configuration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0079] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 5 shown, the process of adjusting the execution mode and execution device according to the simulation result includes operation S500 to operation S502.

[0080] In operation S500, it is determined whether the simulation result passes, where the simulation result is either passing or not passing. In this embodiment, a passing simulation result indicates that the execution mode corresponding to the business action is feasible, and the execution device determined according to the execution mode can complete the expected task in the configured warehouse. A non-passing simulation result indicates that the execution mode corresponding to the business action is not implementable, or the execution device determined according to the execution mode cannot complete the task of the area in the configured warehouse. When the simulation result is non-passing, the user can adjust the execution mode and / or execution device according to the actual situation.

[0081] In operation S501, the information of the execution mode and execution device corresponding to the business action of the warehouse and the simulation scenario are saved to generate a live information scenario.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the simulation result passes, it indicates that the business action, execution mode, and execution device configured in the warehouse can be normally implemented in actual use. Therefore, the information of the execution mode and execution device corresponding to the business action of the warehouse and the simulation scenario are saved. In the subsequent warehouse configuration process, the warehouse is configured using the determined solution as described above. In addition, a live information scenario is generated based on the determined business action, execution mode, and execution device. During the operation of the warehouse, the real-time operation information of the warehouse can be obtained by observing the live information scenario.

[0083] In operation S502, other unselected execution modes corresponding to the business action and the corresponding execution devices are polled according to the priority order.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the simulation result is non-passing, it indicates that the execution mode or the corresponding execution device corresponding to the business action does not meet the current requirements. Therefore, other execution modes and / or corresponding execution devices corresponding to the business action can be polled according to the priority order. It can achieve improving the configuration efficiency of the warehouse under the condition of meeting the warehouse configuration requirements.

[0085] As Figure 6As shown, it is a live information scenario 600 generated according to the business operations, execution methods, and execution devices of a warehouse in an embodiment of the present disclosure. This scenario includes multiple shelves 610 and multiple execution devices 620, such as AGV wheeled robots. In the live information scenario 600, the position of the execution device 620 in the live information scenario is the same as its actual position in the warehouse, and users can intuitively observe the real operation state of the warehouse through the live information scenario 600. For example, when the execution device 620 is congested in a certain area, the movement trajectory of the execution device 620 can be adjusted in real time.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, control instructions can be sent to the live information scenario through a display panel to control the execution methods and execution devices of the warehouse in the real scenario, where the execution methods and execution devices correspond to business operations.

[0087] For example, when adjusting the execution methods and / or execution devices in the live information scenario 600, control instructions can be sent to the warehouse in the real scenario through the display panel. After receiving the control instructions, the execution methods and execution devices can be adjusted.

[0088] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, by determining the business operations of the warehouse according to the attributes of the warehouse and determining the execution methods and execution devices according to the business operations, different configuration schemes can be adopted for different warehouses. At the same time, by generating a simulation scenario and simulating the configuration scheme, problems existing in the configuration scheme can be adjusted in a timely manner, realizing the personalization of the warehouse configuration and improving the efficiency of the warehouse configuration. In addition, by generating a live information scenario, the real scenario of the warehouse and the working conditions of the warehouse equipment can be intuitively observed, facilitating the adjustment of the warehouse and improving the efficiency.
