[0021] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] In warehousing, manufacturing, logistics and other scenarios, forklifts are the main means of transportation, and their efficiency plays an important role in industrial production. With the expansion of enterprise scale and the growth of logistics needs, forklift scheduling has become an increasingly prominent issue. At present, a forklift in the warehouse is responsible for a specific operation area. When the business is busy, there will be multiple operation points in the area that have the need for forking operations at the same time. Usually, the staff at each operation point are required to report the relevant operation information to the dispatch room by oral dictation. The dispatch room will then inform the forklift driver of the operation information via walkie-talkie. After that, the forklift driver will go to each operation point in turn according to the instructions to transport the designated materials.

[0024] The above-mentioned forklift dispatching method has the following disadvantages:

[0025] 1. The chain of information transmission is long and the speed is slow: information is easily missed during language transmission, and communication efficiency is low, which has a great impact on the production process.

[0026] 2. Lack of electronic data records and difficulty in backtracking: The historical data of forklift operations cannot be fully mined, erroneous instructions cannot be traced back and corrected in time, and the level of forklift dispatch management cannot be improved through data analysis.

[0027] 3. Increase enterprise costs: Due to the lag in information transmission, it is difficult to improve the efficiency of forklift utilization. In order to maintain normal production, enterprises will have to purchase or lease more forklifts and increase the number of forklift drivers employed.

[0028] In order to avoid the above-mentioned drawbacks in forklift dispatching, the present application proposes an intelligent forklift dispatching system.

[0029] Combination Figure 1 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present application, a forklift intelligent dispatching system is provided.

[0030] Specifically, the scheduling system includes a signal transmitter and a signal receiver. The signal transmitter is arranged at each operation point in the preset operation area, and the signal transmitter is used to transmit the fork pick-up demand information of each operation point, wherein the fork pick-up demand information includes the location information, material information and fork pick-up time information of the operation point. The signal receiver is arranged on the forklift, and the signal receiver is connected to the signal transmitter by signal. The signal receiver is used to obtain the fork pick-up demand information and generate a scheduling strategy according to the fork pick-up demand information, wherein the scheduling strategy is used to indicate the fork pick-up route of the forklift.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, a signal transmitter is provided at each operation point, and a signal receiver is provided on the forklift. Each operation point uses the signal transmitter to transmit the fork pick-up demand information of each operation. The information receiver on the forklift directly obtains the fork pick-up demand information sent by the signal transmitter, and the forklift schedules the operation according to the received fork pick-up demand information. In the above scheme, there is no information transfer between the signal transmitter and the signal receiver, that is, the forklift directly receives the fork pick-up demand information of each operation point, and the transmission chain of the fork pick-up demand information is short, so that the forklift can receive the scheduling information in time, and the information receiver can store the received fork pick-up demand information for information backtracking.

[0032] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the forklift intelligent dispatching system is applied in the warehouse, and the warehouse is divided into operation area A, operation area B and operation area C, and the operation areas do not overlap. The operation area A is divided into operation points A1, A2 and A3, the operation area B is divided into operation points A2, B2 and B3, and the operation area C is divided into operation points A3, C2 and C3, and each operation point is installed with a signal transmitter. In addition, there are multiple forklifts in the warehouse, each of which is equipped with a signal receiver. Each forklift is responsible for an operation area, that is, each forklift is responsible for the forking work of multiple operation points in an operation area, among which forklift No. 1 is responsible for the forking work in the operation area A, forklift No. 2 is responsible for the forking work in the operation area B, and forklift No. 3 is responsible for the forking work in the operation area C.

[0033] Specifically, when a forklift operation demand is generated at the A1 operation point, the staff operates the signal transmitter corresponding to the A1 operation point, so that the signal transmitter at the A1 operation point sends out the first fork pick-up demand information, wherein the first fork pick-up demand information includes the name of the A1 operation point, the location of the A1 operation point, the demand time of the A1 operation point, and the materials to be picked up and delivered at the A1 operation point. The signal receiver on the No. 1 forklift directly receives the first fork pick-up demand information and performs the fork pick-up operation according to the first fork pick-up demand information.

[0034] Specifically, when a forklift operation demand is generated at the A2 operation point, the staff operates the signal transmitter corresponding to the A2 operation point, so that the signal transmitter at the A2 operation point sends out the second fork pick-up demand information, wherein the second fork pick-up demand information includes the name of the A2 operation point, the location of the A2 operation point, the demand time of the A2 operation point, and the materials to be picked up and delivered at the A2 operation point. The signal receiver on the No. 1 forklift directly receives the second fork pick-up demand information and performs the fork pick-up operation according to the second fork pick-up demand information.

[0035] Specifically, when a forklift operation demand is generated at the A3 operation point, the staff operates the signal transmitter corresponding to the A3 operation point, so that the signal transmitter at the A3 operation point sends the third fork pick-up demand information, wherein the third fork pick-up demand information includes the name of the A3 operation point, the location of the A3 operation point, the demand time of the A3 operation point, and the materials to be picked up and delivered at the A3 operation point. The signal receiver on the No. 1 forklift directly receives the third fork pick-up demand information and performs the fork pick-up operation according to the third fork pick-up demand information.

[0036] When the signal receiver on forklift No. 1 receives the first fork pick-up demand information, the second fork pick-up demand information and the third fork pick-up demand information within the preset time (within 5 minutes), the time difference between the fork pick-up time in each fork pick-up demand information and the transmission time of the fork pick-up demand information is much greater than the preset time, so as to reserve enough time for the forklift to prepare for the operation. Forklift No. 1 will arrange the fork pick-up route according to the fork pick-up time in each fork pick-up demand information to improve work efficiency.

[0037] Furthermore, the signal receiver is connected to a vehicle-mounted indicator screen of the forklift by signal, and the vehicle-mounted indicator screen is used to display fork-picking demand information.

[0038] Specifically, the forklift driver can plan the operation time and operation route according to the forklift demand information displayed on the vehicle-mounted indicator screen. In the operation process, the forklift demand information is always in a highlighted state so that the forklift driver can view the information.

[0039] Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted indicator screen is provided with a historical task list and a current task list, the historical task list is used to store historical forking demand information, and the current task list is used to store current forking demand information.

[0040] Specifically, the on-board indicator screen is provided with operation icons for the historical task list and the current task list, and the corresponding forklift demand information can be viewed by operating the corresponding icons. During the forklift operation, the current task list is in an open state so that the forklift driver can view the current forklift demand information.

[0041] Furthermore, the forking requirement information in the historical task list and the current task list is sorted according to the forking time.

[0042] Specifically, the forking demand information in the historical task list and the current task list are sorted in ascending or descending order according to the forking time. The historical task list and the current task list are provided with a search function. By searching the work point, all the forking demand information of the corresponding work point can be retrieved to facilitate retrospective analysis of the forking demand information to improve the operating efficiency of the forklift.

[0043] Furthermore, the dispatching system also includes a voice broadcast module, which is arranged on the forklift, the voice broadcast module is connected to the signal receiver, and the voice broadcast module is used to output the operation task prompt of the forklift.

[0044] Specifically, after the signal receiver receives the forklift demand information, the voice broadcast module will output a voice prompt of "there is a new operation task" to remind the forklift driver to prepare for the operation.

[0045] According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a scheduling method is also provided.

[0046] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and that, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

For example, the computer terminal may also include more or fewer components than the above-mentioned structure description, or have a configuration different from the above-mentioned structure description.

[0048] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, for example, software programs and modules of application software, such as the computer program corresponding to the forklift dispatching method in the embodiment of the present invention. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, that is, the forklift dispatching method described above is realized.

[0051] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the scheduling method includes the following steps:

[0052] Step S1: Acquire the forking demand information of each operation point in a preset operation area, wherein the forking demand information includes the location information, material information and forking time information of the operation point.

[0053] Specifically, a signal receiver on the forklift is used to receive forking demand information in the corresponding operation area.

[0054] Step S2: Generate a scheduling strategy set according to the fork-picking demand information, wherein the scheduling strategy set is used to indicate the fork-picking route of the forklift.

[0055] Specifically, the signal receiver conducts a comprehensive analysis on the received forking demand information, such as sorting the forking time and evaluating the weight of the forked material, and then determines the final forking route (forking sequence).

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, a signal transmitter is provided at each operation point, and a signal receiver is provided on the forklift. Each operation point uses the signal transmitter to transmit the fork pick-up demand information of each operation. The information receiver on the forklift directly obtains the fork pick-up demand information sent by the signal transmitter, and the forklift schedules the operation according to the received fork pick-up demand information. In the above scheme, there is no information transfer between the signal transmitter and the signal receiver, that is, the forklift directly receives the fork pick-up demand information of each operation point, and the transmission chain of the fork pick-up demand information is short, so that the forklift can receive the scheduling information in time, and the information receiver can store the received fork pick-up demand information for information backtracking.

[0057] Furthermore, in step S2, a scheduling strategy set is generated according to the fork demand information, including the following specific steps:

[0058] When the number of forking demand information obtained within a preset time period is a group, a first target instruction in the scheduling strategy set is generated, and the first target instruction is used to instruct the forklift to go to the operation point corresponding to the position information.

[0059] Specifically, when a forklift operation demand is generated at the A1 operation point, the staff operates the signal transmitter corresponding to the A1 operation point, so that the signal transmitter at the A1 operation point sends out the first fork pick-up demand information, wherein the first fork pick-up demand information includes the name of the A1 operation point, the location of the A1 operation point, the demand time of the A1 operation point, and the materials to be picked up and delivered at the A1 operation point. Within the preset time, if the signal receiver on the No. 1 forklift does not receive other fork pick-up demand information except the first fork pick-up demand information, the signal receiver on the No. 1 forklift will prepare for the fork pick-up operation according to the first fork pick-up demand information.

[0060] Furthermore, in step S2, a scheduling strategy set is generated according to the fork demand information, and the following specific steps are also included:

[0061] When there are multiple groups of forking demand information obtained within a preset time period, the forking time information in each group of forking demand information is compared, and a comparison result is generated; a second target instruction in the scheduling strategy set is generated based on the comparison result, and the second target instruction is used to instruct the forklift to go to the work point with an earlier forking time.

[0062] Specifically, within the preset time, both the A1 operation point and the A2 operation point generate forklift operation requirements. The signal receiver on the No. 1 forklift receives the first fork pick-up requirement information sent by the A1 operation point and the second fork pick-up requirement information sent by the A2 operation point within the preset time. The signal receiver on the No. 1 forklift will compare the fork pick-up time in the first fork pick-up requirement information and the second fork pick-up requirement information. If the fork pick-up time in the first fork pick-up requirement information is earlier, the signal receiver will prompt the forklift driver to go to the A1 operation point to perform the operation first. Among them, the signal receiver is provided with an information comparison module.

[0063] Furthermore, the material information includes the weight of the forked material, and the scheduling method also includes: when the weight of the forked material is greater than the current forklift load, determining whether the load of the standby forklift is greater than the weight of the forked material; if so, generating a third target instruction, the third target instruction is used to instruct the standby forklift to go to the corresponding work point.

[0064] Specifically, in addition to forklift No. 1, operation area A is also equipped with spare forklift No. 1, and both forklift No. 1 and spare forklift No. 1 are equipped with signal receivers. When a forklift operation demand is generated at operation point A1, the staff operates the signal transmitter corresponding to operation point A1 to send out the first fork pick-up demand information, and both forklift No. 1 and spare forklift No. 1 can receive the first fork pick-up demand information. The corresponding signal receiver will compare the weight of the forked material with the load of each forklift, and according to the comparison result, instruct the corresponding forklift to go to operation point A1 for operation. Among them, the signal receiver is provided with an information comparison module.

[0065] Furthermore, the scheduling method also includes: when the weight of the forked material is greater than the load of the current forklift, determining whether the load of the standby forklift is greater than the weight of the forked material; if not, determining whether the sum of the loads of the standby forklift and the current forklift is greater than the weight of the forked material; if yes, generating a fourth target instruction, the fourth target instruction is used to instruct the standby forklift and the current forklift to go to the corresponding work point together.

[0066] Specifically, in addition to forklift No. 1, operation area A is also equipped with spare forklift No. 1, and both forklift No. 1 and spare forklift No. 1 are equipped with signal receivers. When a forklift operation demand is generated at operation point A1, the staff operates the signal transmitter corresponding to operation point A1 to send out the first fork pick-up demand information, and both forklift No. 1 and spare forklift No. 1 can receive the first fork pick-up demand information. The corresponding signal receiver will compare the weight of the forked material with the load of each forklift, and compare the weight of the forked material with the sum of the loads of at least two forklifts equipped in operation area A, and according to the comparison results, instruct the corresponding forklift or multiple forklifts to go to operation point A1 for operation. Among them, an information comparison module is provided in the signal receiver.

[0067] An embodiment of the present application further provides a storage medium, in which a computer program is stored, wherein the computer program is configured to execute the steps in the above method embodiment when running.

[0068] In this embodiment, the storage medium may be configured to store a computer program for performing the following steps:

[0069] Step S1: Acquire the forking demand information of each operation point in a preset operation area, wherein the forking demand information includes the location information, material information and forking time information of the operation point.

[0070] Step S2: Generate a scheduling strategy set according to the fork-picking demand information, wherein the scheduling strategy set is used to indicate the fork-picking route of the forklift.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, a signal transmitter is provided at each operation point, and a signal receiver is provided on the forklift. Each operation point uses the signal transmitter to transmit the fork pick-up demand information of each operation. The information receiver on the forklift directly obtains the fork pick-up demand information sent by the signal transmitter, and the forklift schedules the operation according to the received fork pick-up demand information. In the above scheme, there is no information transfer between the signal transmitter and the signal receiver, that is, the forklift directly receives the fork pick-up demand information of each operation point, and the transmission chain of the fork pick-up demand information is short, so that the forklift can receive the scheduling information in time, and the information receiver can store the received fork pick-up demand information for information backtracking.
