Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics, and in particular to a logistics track management system. Background Art

[0002] Logistics track refers to the detailed record of the movement path and status changes of goods during the logistics process. These records usually include information such as the location, time, status, and operations of the goods in each link of the supply chain. Tracking logistics track is crucial to improving logistics efficiency, enhancing cargo safety, and improving customer service experience.

[0003] In the prior art, the management of logistics tracks mainly involves recording logistics track data, which are stored in the system for subsequent viewing and query, but these systems usually lack the ability to further analyze and process the data. There is no systematic standard for judging whether the track data in the prior art meets the work specifications or customer needs, and it mainly relies on manual post-inspection. The specific practices of manual inspection and response include: Manually initiated inspection: The manual inspection process will only be started when the customer makes a request, encounters a problem or an abnormal situation, to verify whether the track data meets the standard. Problem response: Once a track problem or anomaly is discovered, manual analysis and response are performed to solve the problem or adjust the management process. This method usually starts after a problem occurs, and the response speed is slow.

[0004] The prior art has the following defects:

[0005] 1. Lack of standardized tracks:

[0006] No perfect standards: There is no comprehensive set of standards in the existing technology to determine whether the trajectory meets the work specifications, industry specifications or customer requirements.

[0007] Manual checks: Compliance checks on trajectories are manually performed and are usually only done when problems arise, leading to a lack of standardization and inconsistency.

[0008] 2. Inefficient manual processing:

[0009] Omissions and mistakes: Omissions or errors are prone to occur during the manual inspection process, leading to customer dissatisfaction or complaints.

[0010] Inefficiency: Manual inspection is inefficient, response time is long, and processing speed is slow, which affects customer experience.

[0011] 3. Lack of intelligent analysis:

[0012] Simple recording: The existing system only records the trajectory data without any intelligent analysis or compliance check on the trajectory.

[0013] Insufficient systematic management: The existing system has not formed a systematic trajectory management, lacks intelligent means, and is unable to perform automated processing and optimization.

[0014] 4. High labor costs:

[0015] Dependence on labor costs: Existing technologies rely too much on manual inspection and management, which is costly and lacks technological competitiveness.

[0016] Therefore, how to at least partially solve the above problems has become the focus of those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

[0017] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a logistics track management system, which reduces omissions and errors in manual inspection and improves the intelligence level of the system through automatic matching functions.

[0018] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a logistics track management system, comprising:

[0019] A standard trajectory module, wherein the standard trajectory module formulates a plurality of different standard trajectories, and the information of the standard trajectory at least includes: trajectory content and matching rules thereof;

[0020] A storage module stores non-standard logistics track data;

[0021] A matching module, used for automatically matching the non-standard logistics trajectory data according to the matching rules;

[0022] The display module is used to display the logistics track data that can match the track content.

[0023] Among the options, when formulating the trajectory content and its matching rules, it is divided into exact matching and fuzzy matching.

[0024] In an optional solution, the information of the standard trajectory also includes: trajectory type, trigger function, trigger mode, trigger timing, primary node, secondary node; as other condition items participating in matching.

[0025] Optionally, a unique track number is automatically generated when a new standard track is created.

[0026] In an optional solution, the standard track module further includes a status editing module for adjusting the status of the standard track, wherein the status includes: to be activated, being activated, and deactivated.

[0027] In an optional solution, in the to-be-activated and deactivated states, the information of the created standard track can be re-edited.

[0028] In the optional scheme, in the pending and disabled states, the created standard track can be deleted and enabled. When enabled, the system detects the number of hits of the standard track within a set period of days in the background as a basis for determining whether the standard track is enabled.

[0029] In an optional solution, in the enabled state, the created standard track can be deactivated. When deactivated, the system detects the number of hits of the standard track within a set period in the background as a basis for determining whether the standard track is deactivated.

[0030] In an optional solution, the logistics trajectory management system also includes a search module; the search module is used to search for standard trajectories based on query conditions, and the query conditions include: one or more of the trajectory content, the trajectory code, the trajectory type, the first-level node, and the second-level node.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0032] The present invention designs a complete standard track matching rule setting system, clarifies the definition and requirements of the standard track, and ensures that the logistics track records meet the work specifications, industry standards and customer needs through a systematic method, thereby achieving the consistency, comparability and interoperability of logistics information. By introducing automated matching and intelligent analysis technology, human intervention is reduced and the efficiency and accuracy of track data processing are improved. Automatic recording, analysis and verification of track data are achieved, omissions and errors in manual inspection are reduced, and the intelligence level of the system is improved.

[0033] Furthermore, it has a standard track status management function to achieve the management and flexible update of the standard track status.

[0034] Furthermore, a consistent and simple user interface is provided to simplify the user's operation process and improve the convenience and efficiency of operation through dynamic state management and flexible function settings. It ensures that users can easily add, edit, enable and disable standard tracks. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 7 , this embodiment provides a logistics track management system, including:

[0043] A standard track module, wherein the standard track module formulates a plurality of different standard tracks, and the information of the standard track includes at least: standard track content and matching rules thereof;

[0044] A storage module stores non-standard logistics track data;

[0045] A matching module, used for automatically matching the non-standard logistics trajectory data according to the matching rules;

[0046] The display module is used to display the logistics trajectory data that can match the standard trajectory content.

[0047] This embodiment collects non-standard tracks input by various systems and third-party companies, and after cleaning by the track system, displays the logistics track data that can match the standard track.

[0048] Specifically, the logistics track management system has the following functions:

[0049] 1. Standard trajectory formulation function

[0050] When formulating standard track content and its matching rules, it is divided into exact matching and fuzzy matching. When "exact matching" is selected, it means that the rule will perform a complete consistency check. For example, at this time, the track content is set to "Order Confirmed", which means that it is considered a match only when the track content input by the external system is exactly the same as this string. When fuzzy matching (".* matching") is used, it means that the rule will use regular expressions for pattern matching. For example, at this time, setting the track content to "Inbound.*" means that the rule will match all track contents that start with "Inbound" and are followed by any characters (such as "Inbound JHB DC", "Inbound AIR DC", etc.). Matching rules only act on the matching of track content and are not used for matching other condition items.

[0051] In this embodiment, the information of the standard trajectory also includes: trajectory type, trigger function, trigger mode, trigger timing, primary node, secondary node; as other conditions for participating in matching.

[0052] Track type: You need to select international or local. Because the logistics processes and standard process requirements for international and local shipments are different, different logistics nodes will be involved.

[0053] First-level node: Display the contents of the drop-down box according to the settings in [Node Management].

[0054] Secondary node: The content of the drop-down box of the secondary node changes according to the selection of the primary node and is displayed according to the preset content in the node management.

[0055] Trigger function: what function is used for triggering, such as WMS system triggering when entering the warehouse, or PDA scanning QR code triggering when the courier picks up the package.

[0056] Trigger timing: At which logistics node will it be triggered, such as delivery, customs clearance, warehousing, etc.

[0057] Triggering method: manual trigger or system trigger. "Manual trigger" means that in a certain link of the logistics process, a staff member or customer performs a certain action, which generates a track in the system. For example, when the courier scans the QR code on the package with a PDA when picking up the package, a pickup track is generated in the system, which can be called manual triggering. "System trigger" means that after the system recognizes that a certain prerequisite has been completed, the system automatically enters the next process. For example, during customs clearance, the system recognizes Tax Paid (meaning that the tariff has been paid), then the system automatically enters the customs clearance delivery link.

[0058] The standard trajectory module further includes an editing unit, and the editing unit is used to re-edit the information of the created standard trajectory.

[0059] There are also other conditional items that do not participate in the matching: language, Chinese meaning, source, and remarks. These four items are not used as the criteria for judging whether an actual track is a standard track, and do not enter the matching rules. They are only used as information supplements for the standard track. Track code: The track code is automatically generated when the [Add Standard Track] function is triggered. When [Confirm Add] is clicked, the code is used. The track code can be regarded as the "unique identification code" of a standard track. The track code is unique. Even if the track is deactivated and deleted in the future, the code will not be reused.

[0060] 2. Standard track status management function

[0061] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 The standard track module also includes a status editing module for adjusting the status of the standard track, and the status includes: to be enabled, enabled, and disabled.

[0062] There is an [Edit] button for standard tracks in the "disabled" and "to be enabled" states. The [Edit] page is the same as the [Add] page. [Edit] will not change the track code, but only the track content and matching conditions corresponding to the track code. The contents of track content, matching rules, track type, primary node, and secondary node can only be modified for standard tracks in the "to be enabled" state. The contents of trigger function, trigger timing, trigger mode, language, Chinese meaning, source, and remarks can be modified for standard tracks in the "disabled" and "to be enabled" states.

[0063] There is a [Delete] button for standard tracks in the "Disabled" and "To be Enabled" states. The [Delete] button triggers the [Delete] pop-up window. The delete pop-up window automatically displays the number of hits for the track within 7 days as a standard basis for determining whether to delete it. Number of hits within 7 days: After the track rule is created, it is necessary to detect how many times the standard track has been hit in the 7 days before the current day.

[0064] The standard track in the "disabled" and "to be enabled" states has an [Enable] button. The [Enable] button triggers the enable pop-up window. The [Enable] pop-up window contains the following sub-functions: [Detect] function: Click the [Detect] button, and the system will detect the number of hits of the standard track within 7 days in the background as the basis for determining whether the standard track is enabled. [Custom Enable Time] function: You can adjust the time to enable the standard track according to actual needs (such as the increase in order volume or customer requirements).

[0065] The standard track with the status of "Enabled" has only one [Disable] button. Click the [Disable] button to enter the [Disable] pop-up window. After checking the standard track information, click the [Confirm Disable] button to disable the standard track. The 7-day hit count is used for the operator to refer to whether the standard track needs to be disabled. If there is only one standard track with the status of "Enabled" and "Node Necessity" as "Necessary" under the corresponding node of the standard track, an error will pop up after clicking "Confirm Disable", and the standard track cannot be disabled.

[0066] In this embodiment, the logistics trajectory management system also includes a search module; the search module is used to search for standard trajectories according to query conditions, and the query conditions include: one or more of the trajectory content, the trajectory code, the trajectory type, the first-level node, and the second-level node.

[0067] This system reduces manual intervention through automated matching functions, significantly reduces reliance on manual inspection and management, reduces labor costs, and provides accurate track matching. The system supports "exact matching" and ".* matching" (regular expression matching), adapts to different track content recognition requirements, and improves the automation level of track management. It supports "manual triggering" and "system triggering" to automatically record and update tracks, reduce the need for manual recording, and improve the accuracy and response speed of track recording. This system ensures the consistency and comparability of logistics track data by formulating standard track matching rules to meet the standard requirements of the industry and customers. This system automatically generates a unique track code for each newly added standard track to ensure the traceability and consistency of each track, prevent data duplication and errors, and improve the reliability of data management. The code will not be reused even after the track is deactivated or deleted. The code not only ensures the integrity and consistency of the data, but also provides a reliable data verification mechanism to prevent errors in data transmission and storage. This system not only matches the track content, but also allows users to set other matching conditions according to different logistics process requirements, such as track type (international or local), primary and secondary nodes, trigger function, trigger time and trigger method. By building a dynamic rule engine, this system allows users to set multiple matching conditions according to the complexity of the logistics process, supports the needs of complex logistics processes, and improves the intelligence level of the system.

[0068] This system designs multiple standard track states, such as "pending activation", "disabled" and "activating". Design a dynamic state adjustment mechanism. The system provides a dynamic state adjustment mechanism that allows users to flexibly adjust the state of the track based on real-time business needs or changes in external conditions (such as fluctuations in order volume or customer feedback). This adjustment is performed through the "Enable", "Disable", "Delete" and "Edit" buttons on the user interface. Set the detection function, and the system will detect the number of hits of the standard track within 7 days in the background as the basis for determining whether the standard track is enabled or disabled. The interface design of the functions of adding and editing standard tracks should be consistent to simplify the user operation process and improve the user experience.

[0069] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any changes or modifications made by a person skilled in the art in the field of the present invention based on the above disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
