These measuring instruments have become indispensable measuring tools in life. After these measuring instruments are manufactured, they need to be managed in and out of the warehouse, which in turn creates a demand for identifying measuring instruments.

[0003] For the identification of measuring instruments, RFID scanners are traditionally used to identify the RFID tags on the measuring instruments and obtain their product serial numbers. However, some measuring instruments do not have RFID tags. For these instruments, it is necessary to use a handheld barcode scanner to scan the barcode on the surface of the measuring instrument or to manually record the barcode. This results in low efficiency in the identification of measuring instruments and is prone to errors during operation, such as the RFID scanner identifying other signals or manual recording errors, which in turn affect the quality of the identification of measuring instruments.

The feeding module is used to automatically raise the electric roller shutter after the PLC receives the trigger signal from the operation button, and transfer the material frame loaded with the measuring instrument through the roller conveyor line until it is in place by the position sensor, and then control the electric roller shutter to descend. The RFID tag identification module is used to manage the system to identify the RFID tags of measuring instruments using an RFID scanner; The barcode recognition module is used by the PLC to lower the intelligent collection shelf through the lifting mechanism, and then recognize the barcode of the measuring instrument through the wide-angle camera on the intelligent collection shelf. The measuring instrument management table update module is used to manage the system by binding the RFID tags and barcodes after mutual verification using RFID tags and barcodes, and then updating the measuring instrument management table. The discharge module is used to raise the intelligent acquisition shelf and electric roller shutter after the identification is completed, and discharge the material frame through the roller conveyor line; The barcode recognition module specifically includes: The intelligent acquisition shelf lowering unit is used by the PLC to send an identification command to the microcontroller after the intelligent acquisition shelf is lowered to a preset height through the lifting mechanism. The shooting unit is used by the microcontroller to activate the fill light to illuminate the entire material frame based on the received recognition command, and to control the wide-angle camera to automatically focus and take a picture of the equipment. The appliance photo recognition and verification unit is used to perform background removal and noise reduction preprocessing on the appliance photo by the microcontroller, analyze the appliance photo through machine learning algorithm to identify the appliance type, scan the barcode carried in the appliance photo, and verify the format of the barcode based on the appliance type.
