Method for periodically sending sorting routing information

By sending barcode information and scheduled time data in real time through the barcode reading system, the WCS system calculates the remaining time for scheduled transmission, which solves the problem of uncertainty in obtaining sorting route information by the WCS system and improves the success rate and timeliness of sorting route information.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, the time for WCS systems to obtain sorting route information is uncertain, making it difficult to achieve scheduled sending. Furthermore, when reading barcodes to obtain barcode information, there is a waste of time or the inability to obtain sorting route information for small packages.

Method used

When the barcode reading system obtains barcode information, it immediately sends the information and the scheduled time data to the WCS system. The WCS system determines the remaining time for sending the sorting route information based on the received information, and sends it to the PLC after the remaining time has elapsed.

Benefits of technology

It improves the success rate of obtaining sorting route information, reduces the waiting time for sending barcode information, adapts to changes in package delivery speed, and ensures the timely and accurate sending of sorting route information.

Abstract

This invention discloses a method for timed transmission of sorting routing information, comprising the following steps: when a barcode reading trigger sensor is triggered by a package, the barcode reading system starts reading the barcode; upon acquiring the barcode information, the barcode reading system immediately sends the barcode information and predetermined time data to the WCS system; the WCS system acquires the sorting routing information corresponding to the received barcode information and determines the remaining time for timed transmission of the sorting routing information based on the predetermined time data; after the remaining time for timed transmission is reached, the WCS system sends the sorting routing information to the PLC. This invention employs an immediate output method upon acquiring barcode information, reducing the waiting time for outputting barcode information and allowing the WCS system more time to acquire sorting routing information. This improves the success rate of acquiring sorting routing information within the total time limit for barcode reading, while also enabling the WCS system to stably achieve timed transmission of sorting routing information.
