[0002] With the development of electrification and intelligent technologies, the management information level of paper archives stored in compact shelving in the archives warehouse of power enterprises has gradually improved. In terms of archive inventory work, the traditional manual registration method has been transformed into a form including handheld terminal scanning QR code or inventory vehicle RFID scanning inventory, etc., and the information level has been improved to a certain extent. However, the current mainstream inventory methods still have some shortcomings, as follows:

[0003] 1. The workload of inventory counting is large. At present, whether it is a handheld terminal or an inventory counting vehicle, if there is a large amount of archive inventory in the warehouse, completing an inventory counting task requires the inventory counter to walk around the entire warehouse with the equipment, which requires a lot of work; 2. There are certain errors in manual inventory counting. Since the inventory is done manually with equipment, there will be a certain probability of missing or wrong inventory in some corners of the warehouse, which affects the quality of the inventory counting work; 3. The current level of automation of inventory counting is still relatively low. After manual inventory counting, the inventory data needs to be manually updated to the archive management system, and real-time automatic update cannot be achieved, resulting in low inventory counting efficiency.
