The coupling between actual production and warehouse is reduced. The warehouse manager is only responsible for the inventory, and the production line is only responsible for the product, which improves the company's refined management. The inventory logic is automatically triggered by intelligent warehousing equipment, which also reduces the risk of warehouse managers, production and other employees doing manual accounting, and reduces human losses.

[0051] In addition, the line warehouse (smart warehouse) can ship out materials in batches in the form of work orders, or individually. The shipment of all materials is based on evidence. For example, if there is an obvious over-use of materials when producing a certain product (excess shipment from the central warehouse), it can be reversed to deduce whether there is a problem with the production process, whether there is a problem with the material quality, or whether the production line operator made a mistake, helping the company to analyze the possible causes of losses in multiple dimensions.

[0069] The central warehouse in this embodiment is responsible for the storage of incoming materials and the material transfer of the line warehouse. The line warehouse is located next to the production line and only stores materials related to the production line. It should be noted that there is at least one line warehouse and can be multiple. The line warehouse is composed of intelligent storage equipment and has the function of automatically counting material out of the warehouse. When the material consumption is close to the warning value, the line warehouse will trigger the replenishment demand. After the central warehouse receives the demand, it will prepare the goods. The warehouse manager will put the corresponding materials into the intelligent transportation device according to the replenishment data, and select the line warehouse that needs to be replenished on the intelligent transportation unit. The intelligent transportation unit automatically generates a distribution path according to the algorithm and dispatches the materials to the line warehouse through the intelligent transportation device. There is at least one intelligent transportation device.

[0131] It should be noted that the material picking staff can also use the material picking list to pick up materials. The lineside warehouse will automatically push out or display the materials according to the material type and quantity on the material picking list. One material picking list can be used for picking up materials multiple times until all the materials on the material picking list are picked up.

[0132] Furthermore, various permissions can be used overlappingly, and the types and quantities of materials that employees can pick up are subject to dual restrictions of the department and the employee. The types of materials are subject to the employee's policy restrictions, and the quantity of materials is the minimum value of the department's and employee's material picking policies.

[0133] Preferably, the management method of the intelligent storage unit comprises the following steps:

[0134] W1: The warehouse entry and exit management module authenticates the material picking list through the material picking authority management module;

[0135] W2: After authentication, the warehouse door at the lineside is opened;

[0136] W3: The management system sends a signal to the weighing box 1 containing the corresponding material according to the materials that can be collected in the material collection list, and records the gravity value obtained by the weighing sensor 13 in the weighing box 1 at this moment as Wh0;

[0137] W4: The person who receives the materials receives the materials;

[0138] W5: The materials have been collected and the person who collected them has left the warehouse;
